• 0:00
  Speaker 1: A new McDonald's side mission has been unlocked. The Quarter
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Pounder Deluxe Legendary Edition. With double American cheese, crispy lettuce,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: fresh mustard and tomato. Available until the 29th of September.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Take a side mission to McDonald's. From 11am, Wastock Slash.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Subject to availability, participation varies.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: It seems a pity that I have done what I could.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: I know every move of your game, Holmes.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: You can do nothing before Monday. You hope to place
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: me in the dock. I tell you that I will
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: never stand in the dock. You hope to beat me.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: I tell you that you will never beat me. If
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: you are clever enough to bring destruction upon me, rest
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: assured that I shall do as much to you.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: So spoke Professor Moriarty. That odious name.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: linked forever with my friend Sherlock Holmes.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: My name is Watson, Dr. Watson.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: It was my privilege to share the adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: And here I will tell you about the final problem.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: I recorded my feelings about it at the time, and
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: despite all that has happened since, it remains the most
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: profound shock I have ever endured. In an incoherence, and
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: as I deeply feel, an entirely inadequate fashion, I have
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: endeavored to give some account to my strange experiences in
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: the company of Mr.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Sherlock Holmes.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: It was my intention to have stopped there and to
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: have said nothing of that event which has created a
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: void in my life which the lapse of two years
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: has done little to fill.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: My hand has been forced... However, by the recent letters.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: In which Colonel James Moriarty defends the memory of his brother.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: But I alone know the absolute truth of the matter.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: And I am satisfied that the time has come when
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: no good purpose is to be served by its suppression.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: It may be remembered that after my marriage, the very
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: intimate relations which had existed between Holmes and myself became
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: to some extent modified.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: He still came to see.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Me from time to time when he desired a companion
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: in his investigations. But these occasions became less and less,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: until I find that in the year 1890 there were
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: only three cases of which I retain any record. During
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: the winter of that year and the early spring of 1891,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I saw in the papers that he'd been engaged by
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: the French government upon a matter of supreme importance from
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: which I gathered that his stay in France was likely
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: to be a long one. It was with some surprise, therefore,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: that I saw him walk into my consulting room upon
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: the evening of that 24th of April.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Good evening, my dear Watson. Holmes, bless my soul, I'm
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: delighted to see you. Oh, Johnny, you're so pale, Holmes.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: You've lost so much weight.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: I think you know me well enough, Watson, to understand
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: that I'm by no means a nervous man. At the
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: same time, it's stupidity rather than courage not to recognize
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: danger when it's close upon you.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Of course. Of course. Bless me, Holmes, your knuckles. They're bleeding.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Oh, that reminds me.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: I must beg you to be so unconventional as to
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: let me leave presently by scrambling over your back garden wall.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: You've been fighting with some villains. They're waiting for you outside.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Just so. Is Mrs. Watson in? No, no, she's away, visiting.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Indeed?
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Then you're alone? Quite.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Well, that makes it the easier for me to propose
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: that you should come away with me for a week.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Away? Where to? The continent. Whereabouts? Oh, anywhere. It's all
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: the same to me.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Holmes, I've been summoned on some pretty odd errands with
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: you in my day, but this is the first time
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: you've suggested anything in the nature of an aimless holiday.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: If there's something behind all this, then I think you'd
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: better tell me. You've never heard of Professor Moriarty?
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Moriarty? There.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: There.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: There's the genius and the wonder of the thing.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Hmm? This man pervades London. That's what puts him on
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: a pinnacle in the records of crime. I tell you, Watson,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: if I could free society of that man, I should
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: feel that my own career had reached its summit. I
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: should be prepared to turn to some more classic line
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: in life. He's the organizer of half that is evil
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: and nearly all that is undetected in this great city.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: At the age of 21, he wrote a treatise on
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: the binomial theorem, which has been acclaimed all over Europe.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: 21?
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Yes. On the strength of it, he won the mathematical
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: chair at one of our smaller universities.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: To all appearance, he had a brilliant career before him. Had?
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: What went wrong?
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Nature's other gift to him was a criminal strain of
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: the most diabolical kind. Instead of his extraordinary mental powers
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: overcoming this, they.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Increased it, making it infinitely more dangerous.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: At any rate, dark rumors gathered around Moriarty in this
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: university town, and eventually he was compelled to resign his chair.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: He came to London and set up as an army coach.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: But you say you've penetrated all his secrets now, Holmes. Well,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: surely that's the end of him.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Precisely.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Well, then, in three days' time, the professor and all
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: the principal members of his gang will be in the
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: hands of the police. Then will come the greatest criminal
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: trial of the century, followed.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: I believe... by the rope for all of them. In
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: three days, you say?
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: And yet you're here to suggest we go off to
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Europe when you don't care where? My nerves are fairly
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: broke for once. None better.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: But I must confess to a start when this morning
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: I saw the very man who had been so much
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: in my thoughts standing there on the threshold of my room.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Please take a chair, Professor. I can spare you five
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: minutes if you have anything to say. All that I
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: have to say has already crossed your mind.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Then possibly my answer has crossed yours.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: You stand for it? Absolutely. No. You keep your hand
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: from your pocket. Ah, dear me, Mr.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Holmes.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I only wish to get out my memorandum book.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: There are some dates. Ah, yes.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I see that you crossed my path.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: On January the 4th. On the 23rd, you incommoded me.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: By the middle of February, I was seriously inconvenienced by you.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: To the end of March, I was absolutely hampered in
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: my plans.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: And now, at the end of April, I find myself
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: placed in such a position through your continual persecution that
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: I'm in positive danger of.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: Losing my liberty.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: The situation is becoming an impossible one. Have you any
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: suggestion to make?
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: You must drop it, Mr. Holmes. You really must, you know.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: I'm afraid that in the pleasure of this conversation, I'm
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: neglecting business of importance.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Which awaits me elsewhere. Well, well, well. It seems a
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: pity that I have done what I could. I know
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: every move of your game, Holmes. You can do nothing
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: before Monday. You hope to place me in the dock.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: I tell you that I will never stand in the dock.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: You hope to beat me.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: I tell you that you will never beat me. If
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: you are clever enough to bring destruction upon me, rest
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: assured that I shall do as much to you. You
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: have paid me several compliments, Mr. Moriarty, that they pay
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: you one in return when I say that if I
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: were assured of the former eventuality, I would, in the
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: interests of the public, cheerfully accept the latter.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: I can promise you the one. not the other. Good
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: day to you, Mr. Sherlock Holmes. What sort of a
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: man is he?
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Professor Moriarty is not a man who lets grass grow
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: under his feet.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: I went out about midday.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: To transact some business in Oxford Street. As I passed
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: the corner, which leads from Bentwick Street onto the Welbeck
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Street crossing, a two-horse van, furiously driven, whizzed round and
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: was on me like a flash. I sprang for the
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: footpath and saved myself by the fraction of a second.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: The van was gone in an instant. I kept to
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: the pavement after.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: That, I can tell you. Don't blame him.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: But as I walked down Deer Street, a brick came
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: down from the roof of one of the houses. It
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: shattered to fragments at my feet. Holmes, this is dreadful.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: I took a cab after that and reached my brother's
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: rooms in Pall.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: Mall where I spent the day.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Now I've come round to see you and on my
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: way here was attacked by a ruff with a bludgeon.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: I knocked him down and the police had him in custody. Oh,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: now I know why you wanted to close the shutters
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: and leave by the back door. Exactly.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: But look here, Holmes. Why not spend the night here? No,
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: my friend.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: I have my plans laid and all will be well.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Matters have gone so far now that they can move
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: without my help as far as the arrest goes.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Though, of course, my presence will be necessary later for
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: a conviction. Of course.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: I really cannot do better than get away for the
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: next few days until the police can act.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: So, it would be a great pleasure to me if.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: You could accept my invitation to come to the continent.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: Well... The practice is quiet. And I have an accommodating neighbor.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: I should be glad to come with you, Holmes. And
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: to start tomorrow morning. If necessary. Then these are your instructions,
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: my dear Watson. And I beg you to obey them
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: to the letter. I will.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: You will dispatch whatever luggage you intend to take by
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: a trusty messenger unaddressed to Victoria tonight.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: In the morning, you will send for a hansom, instructing
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: your man to take neither the first nor the second
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: which may present itself.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: Yes, I follow. You will jump into this hansom and.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Drive to the strand end of the louder arcade, handing
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: the address to the cabbie on a piece of paper
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: with a request that he will not throw it away.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Have your fare ready, and the instant your cab stops,
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: dash through the arcade, timing yourself to reach the other
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: end at a quarter past nine.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: You will find a small broom waiting by the curb,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: driven by a fellow with a heavy black cloak.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: The tip of the collar was red.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Step in, and you will reach Victoria in time for.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: The Continental Express. Where shall I meet you? At the station.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: The second first-class carriage from the front.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Will be reserved for us.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Hmm.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: That carriage is our rendezvous, then?
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: And now, my dear Watson, I will take the liberty
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: of finding my way out of your back door.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Across your garden into Mawson, I must say. Until tomorrow, then. Tomorrow, Holmes.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: You may depend on me. Signor. Padre, this is reserved. Signore. Reserved. Engaged.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Engaged.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, Lord.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: My friend and I.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Friend?
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: Mon ami.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Amici.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: We are friend.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Grazie, signore.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Mi grazie. Prego, hurt. Oh, what a cannibal, Holmes. My
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: dear Watson, you haven't even come to send me to
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: say good morning. Good heavens, Holmes. How you startled me. Now, listen, Watson.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: Every precaution is still necessary. I have reason to believe that...
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: What is it?
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: There he is, running along the platform. It's Moriarty himself. Yes,
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: and we're going too fast now for him to jump aboard.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: He's stopped running. Capital.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: You see, with all our precautions, we've cut it rather fine. Well,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: at least I can now get out of this clerical guise.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: Let me give you a hand. I must say, Holmes,
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: it's a remarkable disguise. There you are.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: They must have lost my track completely after their bludgeoned
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: man was arrested. They've evidently taken the precaution of watching you, though.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: That's what has brought Moriarty to Victoria.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: You couldn't have made any slip in coming here.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: I need exactly what you advised, Holmes.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: Did you recognize the driver of your bra? Recognize? It
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: was my brother, Mycroft.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, no.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: It's an advantage to get about in such a case
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: without taking a mercenary into your confidence. But now we
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: must plan what we're to do about Moriarty.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: Surely we've shaken him off. And this is an express
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: with an immediate connection with our boat. What can he
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: do to us now? What I should do. But what?
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: He will engage a special train in the shortest possible time.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Our train stops at Canterbury for a while. Then there's
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: always at least a quarter of an hour's delay at
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: the boat.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: He will catch us there. One would think we were
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: the criminals.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: Let's have him arrested the moment he arrives. That would
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: be to ruin the work of three months. We should
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: get the big fish, but the smaller would dart right
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: and left out of my net.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: No. On Monday, we should have them all. What then?
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: We shall get out at Canterbury. And?
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: We must make a cross-country journey to New Haven, and
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: so over to Dieppe. Moriarty will again.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: Do what I should do.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: He will go on to Paris, trace our luggage there,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: and wait two days for us at the depot. In
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: the meantime, we shall make our way at leisure into Switzerland.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: Via Luxembourg and Bavaria.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: We alighted at Canterbury, only to find that we'd have
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: to wait an hour before we could get a train
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: to New Haven.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: We made our way to Brussels that night. We moved
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: on the third day as far as Strasbourg.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: On the Monday morning, Holmes had telegraphed to the London
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: police and in the evening we found.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: A reply waiting for us at our hotel.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Holmes tore it open and then with a bitter curse
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: hurled it into the grate. They've secured the whole gang
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: with the exception of Moriarty.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: I think you'd better return to England, Watson. Return to England?
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: Whatever for? Because you'll find me a dangerous companion now.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: I shall most certainly do nothing of the kind, Holmes.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: But, Watson, you must realize.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: Not another word, Holmes.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: We shall leave for Geneva this evening as arranged. For
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: a charming week, we wandered up the valley of the Rhône,
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: and then, by way of Interlaken, to my England. into
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: the lovely trip but it was clear to me that
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: never for one instant did Holmes forget the shadow which
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: lay across him I could tell by his quick glancing
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: eyes and his sharp scrutiny of every face that passed
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: us that he was well convinced that walk where we
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: would we could not walk ourselves clear of the danger
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: which was dogging our footsteps once I remember a large
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: rock which had been dislodged from a ridge clattered.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: Down and roared into the lake behind.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Us Holmes said nothing, but smiled at me with the
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: air of a man who sees the fulfillment of that
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: which he had expected. I think I may go so
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: far as to say, Watson, that I have not lived
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: wholly in vain. If my record were closed tonight, I
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: could still survey it with equanimity. In over a thousand cases,
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: I'm not aware that I've ever used my powers upon
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: the wrong side.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: Your memoirs will draw.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: To an end, Watson, upon the day that I crown
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: my career by the capture or extinction of the most
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: dangerous and capable criminal in Europe. I shall be brief
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: and yet exact in the little which remains for me
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: to tell.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: It is not a subject on which I would willingly dwell.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: It was on the 3rd of May that we reached
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: the little village of Manningham, where we put up at
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: the Anglisher Hof.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: Then kept by Peter Steiler, the elder.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: At his advice, we set off next afternoon with the intention.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: Of spending the night at the hamlet of Rosenlohe.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: We had strict instructions, however, on no account to pass
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: the falls of Reichenbach without making a small detour to
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: see them.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: It is indeed a fearful place. The torrent, swollen by.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Melting snow, plunges into a tremendous abyss from which the
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: spray rolls up like smoke from a burning house The
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: shaft into which the river hurls itself is an immense chasm,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: lined by glistening coal black rock and narrowing into a creaming,
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: boiling pit of incalculable depth. We stood near the edge,
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: peering down at the gleam of the breaking water far
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: below us against the black rocks. The narrow path has
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: been cut halfway round the fall to afford a complete view,
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: but it ends abruptly. And the traveler has to return
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: as he came. We had turned to do so when
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: a Swiss lad came running along this path, calling urgently.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: Herr Doktor! Herr Doktor! What's this, Holmes? Who is he?
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: I don't recognize him. He seems to know you, though.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: Herr Doktor, I have....
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: I have all the way around.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: Take your time, my boy. Get your breath. No, Herr Doktor.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: There is no time. The Englishwoman... She will die. English woman?
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: What English woman? It's the hotel. The English. You've seen
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: no English woman there, have we, Holmes?
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: There was a young woman sitting beside the window at luncheon.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: I took her for a friend. Yeah, yeah, the young woman.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: She has the consumption. She starts to bleed. What's that?
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: Sounds like a hemorrhage. I must go at once, Holmes.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: One moment, boy. Who sent you to us?
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: My uncle, Herr Steiler. Why did he not summon the
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Swiss doctor whose name Kate I saw in the village?
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Ja, ja, he has.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: But the lady is crying and calling in English that
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: she someone English must see before she will die.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: Holmes, I... You must go, Watson.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: It's unthinkable to refuse the request of a fellow countrywoman
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: dying in a strange land.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: Yes, I agree entirely, but Will you come with me, Holmes?
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: We've managed to stick together from London and nothing has
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: occurred to you so far.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: I should not like to think that... No, no, no, Watson.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Your duty is plain. I think I shall stay here
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: a little while until your return. This lad can wait
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: with me in your place. If I don't see you
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: within the hour, say, I shall walk.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: On slowly over the hill to Rosenlohe, where we will
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: meet again this evening. Very well, Holmes. You will take
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: great care. I shall take care. I'll hurry back as
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: soon as I can. Herr Steiler. Herr Steiler. Dr. Watson. Running.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: Where is she? I trust she's no worse. Excuse me, doctor,
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: but I do not understand. The Englishwoman, the one who's
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: ill with consumption. There is some mistake, doctor. We have
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: no English lady here at present. Look. The message you sent.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: The boy, your nephew. I have no nephew, doctor. What?
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: And a message. I sent no message to you. Great heavens,
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: they've caught up with us after all. Doctor.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Has any stranger arrived here since we left? One only,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: an Englishman. But I think you must know him. He
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: asked if you were near home and were lodging with me.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: Say no more. Where did he go? I believe he
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: went to take a walk. Herr Steiner, there isn't a
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: moment to lose. I beg you to accompany me to
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: the Reichenbach Falls immediately.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Willing me, Doctor, but may I ask.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: I will explain as we go, but we must not
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: delay one further second. The chances are we may yet
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: be in time. There's no sign of him. Pray heaven
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: that he's gone on safely to Rosenlaue. Doctor, these footmarks
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: in the wet ground.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes, yes, I see them, but... Praise heavens, they
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: go right to the edge of the chasm.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: Stop. There has been fighting here.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: See how the ground is all disturbed and these plants
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: crushed and broken.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: Oh, no, no. It can't be. It can't. I'm afraid, Doctor...
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: There can be no other conclusion. Oh.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: But the one side is here, rock wall. And the other,
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: a chasm.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: No. No, no. It's impossible. Holmes! Holmes!
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Holmes! You must keep from the edge, Doctor. There is
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: nothing you can do.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: I fear you're right. He's gone. See, but here is something.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: What is it? Let me see.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: A cigarette case placed on this boulder.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's his. Give it to me, please. Oh, look.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: There's a paper. He'll have gone on to Rosenlaue after all.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: He's left this message for me to find. You'll see,
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: Herr Steiler. Does it say so, Dr. Watson? Oh, just
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: a moment. Just a moment. Let me read. My dear.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Watson, I write these few lines through the courtesy of Mr. Moriarty,
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: who awaits my convenience for the final discussion of those
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: questions which.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: Lie between us.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: I am pleased to think that I shall be able
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: to free society from any further effects of his presence,
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: though I fear that it is at a cost which
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: will give pain to my friends, and especially my dear Watson,
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: to you. I have already explained to you, however, that
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: my career had in any case reached its crisis, and
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: that no possible conclusion to it could be more congenial
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: to me than this. Indeed, if I may make a
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: full confession to you, I was quite convinced that the
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: message from Myringen was a hoax, and I allowed you
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: to depart on that errand under the persuasion that some
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: development of this sort would follow. Tell Inspector Patterson that
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: the papers which he needs to convict the gang... I
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: am pigeonhole M, done up in a blue envelope and
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: inscribed Moriarty. I made every disposition of my property before
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: leaving England and handed it to my brother Mycroft. Pray
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: give my greetings to Mrs. Watson and believe.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: Me to be.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: My dear fellow, very sincerely yours, Sherlock Holmes.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: Holmes.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: A few words may suffice to tell the little that remains.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: An examination by experts leaves little doubt that a personal
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: contest between the two men ended as it could hardly
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: fail to do in such a situation. In a reeling
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: over into the chasm locked in each.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: Other's arms.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: Any attempt at recovering the bodies was absolutely hopeless.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: And there, deep.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Down in that dreadful cauldron of swirling water and seething foam,
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: will lie for all time the most dangerous criminal and
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: the foremost champion of the law of their generation. The
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Swiss youth was never found again, but there can be
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: no doubt that he was one of the numerous agents
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: whom Moriarty kept in his employe. As to the gang,
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: the evidence which Holmes had accumulated completely exposed their organization.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: But of their.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: Terrible chief, few details came out during the proceedings. And
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: if I have now been compelled to make a clear
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: statement of his career, it is due to those injudicious
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: champions who endeavor to clear his memory by attacks upon
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: him whom I shall ever regard as the best And
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: the wisest man who might have ever known. The final
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: problem describes perhaps the most famous death.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: In all the stories of Sherlock Holmes.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: For in this, the greatest detective in literature died by
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: a deliberate act of the writer who had created him,
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: In real life, my name is Norman Shelley.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: My friend Carlton Hobbs played Sherlock Holmes and I was Dr.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: Watson.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: Michael Hardwick wrote the script for this BBC production from London.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: And for the present, let's just leave it as Conan
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Doyle himself wished it to be left. That after the
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: final problem, there would be no more adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: What actually happened, I'll explain next time we meet. Meet
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: me here, very soon.
