- 0:00Speaker 1: Let's see, mister Bartel, don't say let's see if he's
- 0:03expecting us. You know I always expect you this time
- 0:06on Monday evenings, my boy, So draw up your usual
- 0:09cham settled down, thanks, doctor, that's it all along this evening, doctor,
- 0:15where are the puppies out on the patio? They had
- 0:17a most unfortunate encounter with the dead seal on the
- 0:20beach this afternoon. In constance that a little maloderus.
- 0:25Speaker 2: In that case, Doctor, perhaps we'd better change the subject.
- 0:28So suppose I ask you about tonight's new Sherlock Holmes advantage.
- 0:31Speaker 1: Well, my boys, I told you last week the story
- 0:33took place in the foul alleyways of Limehouse.
- 0:37Speaker 3: It was there on a foggy December evening in eighteen.
- 0:40Speaker 1: Hundred and ninety that my story began. An old friend
- 0:43and patient of mine, I soa Whitney, had disappeared, and
- 0:46his distraught wife had.
- 0:48Speaker 3: Come to me for help.
- 0:49Speaker 1: Knowing the man to be the victim of the shocking
- 0:51habit of taking opium, I suspected that I might find
- 0:54him in one of the vile dens inhabited by the
- 0:56dregs of the waterfront.
- 0:58Speaker 3: And so mister Boutell.
- 0:59Speaker 1: About five o'clock on that December evening, I.
- 1:01Speaker 3: Began my search.
- 1:03Speaker 1: After an hour fruitless wanderings, I found myself in a
- 1:06vile alley called Upper Swandham Lane. I could hear the
- 1:11distant moans of the river boats as I walked, eyes
- 1:14alert and hand on the revolver in my coatbark. Suddenly
- 1:23I saw a steep flight of steps leading down to
- 1:26a black gap, like the mouth of a cave.
- 1:29Speaker 3: I walked down.
- 1:36Speaker 1: The steps were worn hollow in the center by the
- 1:39ceaseless tread of stumbling feet.
- 1:41Speaker 3: I reached the bottom.
- 1:43Speaker 1: A door faced me in Above it, a flickering oil
- 1:46lamp winked warning. I found the latch and lifted it.
- 1:52The door squeaked open, protesting.
- 1:54Speaker 3: That, and I entered.
- 2:06Speaker 1: There was a tinkle of Chinese windbills.
- 2:09Speaker 4: As I walked towards.
- 2:10Speaker 1: A long, low room, A strange sight met my eyes.
- 2:16Through the gloom, thick and heavy with a brown opium smoke,
- 2:20I saw that the room was terraced with wooden berths,
- 2:22like the.
- 2:23Speaker 3: Forecastle of an emigrant ship.
- 2:25Speaker 1: Out of the shadows they glimmered little red circles of light,
- 2:28now bright.
- 2:29Speaker 3: Now faint.
- 2:30Speaker 1: There's a burning poison waxed or waned in the metal pipes.
- 2:34Bodies lay in strange fantastic poses, out shoulders bent, knees,
- 2:41heads thrown back. The tendant came up to me with
- 2:43a pipe and beckoned me to an empty birth. I
- 2:49haven't come here to smoke your filthy drug. I'm looking
- 2:51for a friend. Just tie a whitner, nor miss their
- 2:54wheatney here.
- 2:55Speaker 3: I'm going to search the place.
- 2:56Speaker 1: You must not disturb a train carrying a revolver, so
- 2:58you'd better not argue with.
- 3:00Speaker 4: My good man out of the way.
- 3:02Speaker 1: I searched that filthy den, but found no trace of
- 3:05my missing friend.
- 3:06Speaker 3: As I was leaving despair, a long, shaking hand reached
- 3:09out and plucked at my sleeve.
- 3:11Speaker 1: I turned, and there, sprawl in the berth was the
- 3:14wreckage of a man, his gaunt face yellow and twitching,
- 3:18his clothes filthy and ragged, and the pupil of his
- 3:20eyes like pinpoints.
- 3:23Speaker 3: He spoke to me in a thin, quavering.
- 3:26Speaker 1: Voice, Get me out of here, now, look here, my man.
- 3:30Speaker 5: Don't say you won't help me, Governor, and you got
- 3:33nd Please help me. Come take me out of here.
- 3:36Start to think I'm going from me.
- 3:37Speaker 1: I tell you what was you expect if you're indulge
- 3:39in this filthy heabit take me.
- 3:41Speaker 4: Out of here, governor, Oh go strike this time, cross
- 3:44me out.
- 3:44Speaker 3: I will well come along with me. I suppose it's
- 3:47my duty to help you.
- 3:48Speaker 4: God pleasure.
- 3:50Speaker 3: You not give me your arm.
- 3:51Speaker 1: You cannot take him away.
- 3:52Speaker 3: He owe me money.
- 3:53Speaker 4: That's a breading lie I paid him on coming out.
- 3:56Speaker 1: He cannot go with you.
- 3:57Speaker 4: Mister.
- 3:57Speaker 1: Remember what I said about my revolver, you blackguard?
- 4:00Speaker 3: In more trouble with you. I'll fetch the police.
- 4:02Speaker 1: Come along, see owe me money?
- 4:03Speaker 4: He owe me money, fernel proper. I hope you didn't.
- 4:17Speaker 3: Now look here, my good man.
- 4:18Speaker 1: I'll give you a square meal, some advice and some
- 4:21medical attention.
- 4:22Speaker 6: But the rest and I'm the advice watson. But I'll
- 4:24take them up on that square meal.
- 4:25Speaker 3: Homes.
- 4:26Speaker 6: Yes, better get to see you, old fellow. What brought
- 4:28you to that ropid den of iniquity?
- 4:29Speaker 3: Oh me?
- 4:32Speaker 1: I want to find a friend, and I an anime.
- 4:35Speaker 3: You all disguise is wonderful. It completely fooled man.
- 4:38Speaker 6: But I'm afraid that proprian it was beginning to penetrate
- 4:40it that's why I staged the little rescue seen and
- 4:42I've been recognized. My life pun't worth an asked purchase.
- 4:46Speaker 3: How long had you been there? Why were you there?
- 4:48Speaker 4: Come on, homes, tell me all about the pleasure, old
- 4:50chap the first.
- 4:50Speaker 6: Let's find a chop house. I want that square meal.
- 4:53You promise me an excellent Neil Watson.
- 5:06Speaker 1: Yes, a surprisingly good for such a shoy looking place.
- 5:08Speaker 3: Well, helms, Now, perhaps you will tell me what you
- 5:10were doing in that opium den. I've already told you
- 5:13my story.
- 5:14Speaker 6: I'm shadowing the most unusual criminal, a man who haunts
- 5:17the opium dens. Yet I know that he himself is
- 5:20not an addict.
- 5:20Speaker 1: I don't see anything but a criminal about that. He
- 5:22might be looking for thrill, or perhaps he's one of
- 5:24those writer fellows or something.
- 5:25Speaker 6: But this man pretends to be an addict. I watched
- 5:28him closely. He fakes his smoking, and grease paint has
- 5:31enabled him to simulate the characteristic pallor of a drug victim.
- 5:34Even affects the typical mannerism of no scratching. But it's
- 5:37his eyes that give him away. Pupils who wide open
- 5:40as exactly fellow. Whereas if he were really addicted to
- 5:43the drug, they would, as you.
- 5:44Speaker 4: Know, be contacted.
- 5:45Speaker 6: I myself always treat my eyes with a special, special
- 5:49kind of drop on the occasion when.
- 5:51Speaker 4: When I have to enter these deads.
- 5:52Speaker 1: Why does a man haunt an opium den in order
- 5:54not to smoke?
- 5:55Speaker 6: That, my dear Watson, is the problem that I intend
- 5:57to solve.
- 5:58Speaker 1: Perhaps the fellows a policeman or private to tech if
- 6:00you like yourself, Homes.
- 6:00Speaker 6: I've already checked on those possibilities. No, Watson, I believe
- 6:04there is only one answer.
- 6:06Speaker 4: I believe the.
- 6:07Speaker 6: Man is planning a murder, a murder tempting setting for
- 6:11a murder. You victim is an addict, drugged and helpless.
- 6:15Your witnesses there are in an equal state of thefettlement. The
- 6:18proprietor is anxious to cover up the crime.
- 6:19Speaker 4: Because of the police.
- 6:21Speaker 6: Yes, now the question is who is the intended victim? That,
- 6:25my dear Watson, is why I've been shadowing this man
- 6:28unfortunately but not present in the den. We just left,
- 6:30but I intend to continue my search.
- 6:32Speaker 3: Homes, Can I help you? My My wife's a way.
- 6:35You are a long time since we were on.
- 6:39Speaker 4: A case, to much have been delighted, My dear chap.
- 6:41I've missed you sadly during the past few months.
- 6:43Speaker 3: All you holmes. What's the next?
- 6:46Speaker 4: Move back to Baker Street? Talk along?
- 6:47Speaker 6: My disguise is wearing thin, and I must contrive a
- 6:49new one. You disguise, eh, well, which one should it be?
- 7:00Speaker 3: What? So how about the old flower sellar? I love
- 7:03that one?
- 7:04Speaker 4: Well it's pretty o No, no, no, my dear fellow.
- 7:08Speaker 6: Now hardly appropriate for an opium dinner. In any case,
- 7:10the clothes was so wretchedly uncomfortable.
- 7:12Speaker 3: Well how about the music.
- 7:13Speaker 4: Halls ware chep oh.
- 7:15Speaker 5: I don't want to be behind the same side her.
- 7:17We don't want to be behind the scene.
- 7:19Speaker 4: I don't want to.
- 7:20Speaker 5: Travel along the problem from from where the brass band plays,
- 7:23totally unpope confounded.
- 7:25Speaker 4: Who can that be?
- 7:25Speaker 3: You won't expecting in a word?
- 7:27Speaker 4: Now, this is just like.
- 7:29Speaker 1: The old days, the doorbell ringing, missus Hudson toddling off

- 7:35a rather.

- 10:02game's a foot.
- 10:03Speaker 6: Mister Lacan is the man I've been seeking, a man
- 10:04who pretends to be an opium smoking while basically you
- 10:06let him get.
- 10:07Speaker 3: Away here, I'll go after him.
- 10:08Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, no, don't Boddy, I've already arranged for that.
- 10:10Oh ha.
- 10:11Speaker 6: When I left the room just now to talk to
- 10:12missus Hudson, and I was intending to tell her to
- 10:14summon some of my band of street.
- 10:15Speaker 4: Urchins, you're not the biggest street of regulars.
- 10:17Speaker 6: When she informed me that half a dozen of them
- 10:19we're in the kitchen at this very moment. By taking
- 10:21one of her uncomfortables taking kidney pies.
- 10:23Speaker 4: The rest should be obvious.
- 10:24Speaker 3: Your left instructions to one of them to shallows to
- 10:26Laton when he.
- 10:27Speaker 6: Left her elementary. My dear Watson, Oh, don't come that
- 10:29Lacon back again. No, I think not, and I should
- 10:32say that at the moment he's just.
- 10:33Speaker 4: About to walk out of the front door.
- 10:34Speaker 5: No, I think we shall have another visitor. And judging
- 10:37by the commotion, the incoming and the outgoing visitors know each.
- 10:40Speaker 4: Other and are not on the best of terms, it
- 10:42sounds to me of her having a fight. Comes Missus
- 10:46Hudson to tell us about it.
- 10:48Speaker 7: A man, come in, mister Hune, you've got another visitor.
- 10:52Speaker 4: So I gathered Missus Hudson.

- 10:58the gentleman.

- 11:00Speaker 1: What was all that commotion about downstairs?
- 11:02Speaker 3: Your hair?

- 11:05that was leaving and the one that was Swayne and
- 11:07the door stand.
- 11:07Speaker 4: Who is our new visitor, Missus Hudson.

- 11:26Speaker 3: Oh right, you're taking no chances, Holmesir, you're having this
- 11:32fellow shadow too.
- 11:34Speaker 6: Layton is a potential murderer that I'm convinced this mister
- 11:38Chumley might possibly be his intended.
- 11:40Speaker 4: Victim while we're talking to him. What's no fellow?
- 11:43Speaker 6: I want you to be sure to look at the
- 11:45condition of his eyes.

- 11:52doctor Watson.

- 11:57wasn't it. I want to sit down, sir, I thank you.
- 11:59I don't want to it down all right. You needn't
- 12:01answer my question. But I know it was Layton. I've
- 12:04never met him, but i've seen his picture in the
- 12:06newspapers very well.
- 12:07Speaker 4: Mentor it was Wayne Lakeon.
- 12:09Speaker 5: I know why he came to you. He's he's trying
- 12:12to have me put out of the way while he
- 12:13closes that deal on the San Peter and Guana concession.
- 12:16Now look here, Holmes, you've got to be on my side.
- 12:19Whatever fee he offered you to dispose of me, I'll
- 12:21double it if you'll.

- 12:37no fee from mister Layton. I don't prefer to accept
- 12:39one from you your hatton glove.
- 12:41Speaker 3: Sir.

- 16:02Speaker 5: If that is sold, then where are the three men?
- 16:04Cannot vanish?
- 16:05Speaker 3: That's just a point, you scoundrel. Out of the way.
- 16:07I'm going to search this hubble again.
- 16:09Speaker 1: I'm not leaving here until I find mister Shellock Holmes.
- 16:21Speaker 2: You'll hear the rest of doctor Watson's story in just
- 16:23a second.
- 16:24Speaker 6: And if you don't mind, I'll.
- 16:25Speaker 2: Take that second to say just one word to the ladies,
- 16:28and that word is musk Tell, Petrie California Muscatell. I
- 16:33want you women to know about it because Petrie musk
- 16:36Tell is one wine that practically every woman likes. Maybe
- 16:41because it's such a beautiful color, like pale gold, but
- 16:45I guess really because Petrie Musketell brings you the wonderful
- 16:48flavor of luscious sun ripe and muscat grapes. And that's
- 16:52a flavor. Try Petrie Musketel after dinner or anytime. As
- 16:57a change from Petrie port remember, if it's a Petrie wine,
- 17:02you know it's a good wine. And now back to
- 17:12doctor Watson and tonight's story the eyes of mister lighton. Well,
- 17:17what happened next?
- 17:18Speaker 4: Doctor?
- 17:19Speaker 2: When you searched the house for the second time? Did
- 17:21you find any trace of Sherlock Holmes, of the two
- 17:23rival businessman?
- 17:24Speaker 3: I tell I'm afraid I didn't.
- 17:26Speaker 4: What did you do?
- 17:27Speaker 1: I told Wiggins to report the matter to the nearest
- 17:29police station, and then rattle back to Baker Street at
- 17:31a handsome cab as fast as I could. When I
- 17:34arrived at the old familiar doorstep, I wrenched the bell
- 17:37in a frenzy of anxiety.
- 17:38Speaker 3: Finally the door opened. There stood missus Hudson's doctor watching.
- 17:43Speaker 9: Which is it, sir?
- 17:44Speaker 7: Why you're as white.
- 17:45Speaker 1: As a ghost?
- 17:46Speaker 3: Mister Holmes? Is he here?
- 17:48Speaker 7: I said to him. In half an hour ago, he
- 17:50was draced as a sailor and was half carrying some
- 17:52drunken friend of his.
- 17:53Speaker 3: Thanks he safe. I'll go up all right, sir. I
- 18:02want to check Holmes.
- 18:04Speaker 1: I can't tell you how glad I am the severer.
- 18:06Who's that lying on the sofa?
- 18:09Speaker 6: Well, I'm pretty bag button. Oh, I'm afraid the poor
- 18:12devil's done for.
- 18:13Speaker 3: Good, Scott.
- 18:14Speaker 1: It's wearing Layton, the American fellow, a.
- 18:16Speaker 6: Knife wound between his rips. See what you can do
- 18:18for him, will you?
- 18:19Speaker 3: Right? There's extraordine, Holmes.
- 18:21Speaker 1: You said that Layton was a potential murderer, and now he's.
- 18:24Speaker 4: A victim himself, the bitter bit al chap.
- 18:28Speaker 3: Yes, he's still breathing that he hasn't a chance. I'll
- 18:31try him with.
- 18:31Speaker 1: An injection of strictne Holmes, how did you get his
- 18:34body out of the house. I searched the place from
- 18:37top to bottom.
- 18:37Speaker 3: Ie, I found no trace of any of you.
- 18:39Speaker 6: When I went in, I found the stabbing had already
- 18:41taking place.
- 18:42Speaker 4: The proprietor then bribed me or rather than broken down.
- 18:44Speaker 6: Cell, he took me for to smuggle the body out
- 18:46through the secret stairway leading to the worlds at the
- 18:49back of the house.
- 18:50Speaker 3: There's no trace of Chamler out.
- 18:51Speaker 6: No, he must have blessed before me by the same exit.
- 18:53Speaker 8: And then you smashed the window and vaulted.
- 18:55Speaker 6: Yes, I knew the back account. I knew to hold
- 18:57the port while I was getting the body away. Just
- 19:00try to say something, Watson.
- 19:02Speaker 3: Yes, the Egyptians beginning to take effect.
- 19:04Speaker 4: Yes, mister Layton, what are you trying to say?
- 19:08Speaker 6: Tell us who stabbed yourself? Lips are moving, man, he's dead. Home, Yes,
- 19:24but he gave us the clue to the murderer's identity.
- 19:26Speaker 3: Ah.
- 19:27Speaker 4: The word he mumbled just before he died.
- 19:29Speaker 1: Sounded to me as if he said mandolcisely.
- 19:31Speaker 8: Old fellow.
- 19:32Speaker 4: Never did a corpse give us a clearer instruction.
- 19:34Speaker 5: That's to our next and final move, and that is
- 19:36back to Limehouse, Watson, Back to Limehouse.
- 19:51Speaker 4: Here we are, This is Bill the place.
- 19:52Speaker 3: What's this? Another opium down?
- 19:54Speaker 4: Yes?
- 19:54Speaker 6: I knew that since Termally refrained from smoking earlier on
- 19:57in the night in order to keep his faculty a
- 19:59la for murder, that.
- 20:00Speaker 4: An enormous reaction set him.
- 20:03Speaker 6: You have to find a den at once, and beyond question,
- 20:06a different one from that in which the murder has committed.
- 20:08Speaker 3: But how do you know that he's inside here?
- 20:10Speaker 6: Just before you return to Baker Street tonight, I had
- 20:12a message from one of my regulars.
- 20:14Speaker 4: He tracked him here after he escaped from the scene
- 20:16of the stabbings.
- 20:17Speaker 3: That was a couple of hours ago. He might have
- 20:18slipped away again.
- 20:19Speaker 6: Oh, Watson, tonight. He came to drown his senses with
- 20:22a wretched drug.
- 20:23Speaker 4: He'll be here.
- 20:23Speaker 9: Come on, h.
- 20:38Speaker 1: That second injection of caffee and should bring him around.
- 20:41Speaker 3: He's heavily drug but I think it will work.
- 20:43Speaker 4: Rising what a five found note will do, isn't it?
- 20:45Speaker 3: Yes?
- 20:46Speaker 1: The proprietor let us bring Chumley into his private room
- 20:48in each.

- 22:17Speaker 4: It's lucky for you that she is well.
- 22:19Speaker 7: I'll do leave your Breakfad.
- 22:22Speaker 1: Holmes, Yes, sir fellow, there's any one thing that puzzles
- 22:25me about this case. When Layton was dying, he muttered
- 22:28the word Mandalay. How did that give you the key
- 22:31to the merger's identity?
- 22:33Speaker 8: Oh?
- 22:33Speaker 6: The dead American had never met miss Chumley, remember, except
- 22:36when they bumped into each other in our hallway.
- 22:38Speaker 1: Yes, he told us that he recognized him from the
- 22:39newspaper photograph.
- 22:40Speaker 6: Being an American, he had no reason to know that
- 22:43the name Chumbley is in no way pronounced the way
- 22:47it is spelt.
