  Speaker 1: And now let's join our good friend, doctor Watson. I'm petro,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: mister well, I see you're making the most of a
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: wonderful leaving doctor.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Yes, my boy, it's pleasant to sit out here on
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: summer's night with a good friend and a pipe bottle
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: of wine.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: Hope yourself to a glass of satan.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Already with the night's new Sherlock Holmes adventure, Doctor.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Yes, and a strange story it is.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: It was in the autumn of eighteen hundred and ninety nine,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: mister Bartell, that I decided both his doctor and friend,
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Sherlock Holmes, was in desperate need.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Of a holiday.
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: He had really been overdoing it.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's my boy.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: It had been an unusually busy year, and at the
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: time my story begins, Holmes were suffering from complete e
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: gross So, my boy, towards the end of October and
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: that year, we found ourselves in the charming city of Kazanlak,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: capital of the small Balkan kingdom of Grosnia. A few
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: nights after our arrival, I remember Pavlu Krasnodar, Grossnian Minister
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: of Police, took us to share the singing of us
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: young Hungarian opera star Miss Lily Raina was then touring Europe.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: At our table was her fiance, that charming young aristocrat,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Prince Stefano. And it was very easy to see as
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: he sat there listening to the song that the boy
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: was head over heels in love.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: It is a haunting.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Melody that she sang. Mister Bartell, I can almost cheer
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: it up. You're a very lucky man, Prince Stefano. Your
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: fiance's voice matches her beauty.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: Oh yes, doctor Hudson, I consider myself the most fortunate
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: man in Grodsney. He has a magnificent voice, the finest
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: singing I can recall since such fair and I was
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: thinking of a prima Donna of the Warsaw Opera who
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: attained considerable success in London, Miss Irene.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Oh, my George, Yes, she was a criminal, one of
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: the few that out willed you. Holmes. Oh, that was
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: a case that was interested you, mister Grosnoda.
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: I am familiar with it, my dear dog, you are
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: unusually solemn. Tonight, Krasnada, have a glass of wine and
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: I will bring Lily to April and we will toast
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: our happiness. I'm afraid I cannot drink that toast, Prince Stefano,
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: why not I know why you, the notorious lady got
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: near a jealous You're in love with Lily yourself, Prince Stefano,
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: I have sad news for you. I have come here
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: tonight but for one purpose to arrest your fiance.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: A joke.
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: It is far from a joke.
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: At my ministry, we have evidence, conclusive evidence that missus
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: Lily Raina is a spy. Spy good law and the
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: penalty of spine and grossna ah. That, my friend, is
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: why I would drink no toast in Krossnia. The penalty
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: for espionage is death.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: So I know at homes you must do something to
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: say that girl. You can't just turn in for the
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: night of that trying to help her in some way.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: It might shoot her in the morning.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Kasson of Doll's no fool, since he's made the arrest
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: obviously as a waterdight case against the girl. Oh one
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: last pipe.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: You know I couldn't understand her fiance's behavior. He didn't
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: do a thing, just stood there in the Crosnodara rest
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: the girl.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: What could he have done? Kasnadara's commissioner of police. There's
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: no point in arguing with him until the evidence had
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: been examined.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: I imagine the principle try and pull some political strings
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: after all, Grodney.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Come in, Come in, Oh you wish to speak to me,
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: mister Sherlock Holmes.
• 3:40
  Speaker 7: I've come to talk to you about my baby. My
• 3:43
  Speaker 7: name is Martha Cricket.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Your baby, mister Holmes, down my baby.
• 3:46
  Speaker 7: She is twenty years old and she is flaxen haired
• 3:50
  Speaker 7: and beautiful.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Oh that's entirely different matter. Who'll be delighted to help you? Delighted?
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Don't you on?
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: Who's behalf if you come to me?
• 3:58
  Speaker 7: Poor Lilyrena Lorena.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: That's the girl who's arrested tonight.
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: I am only her dresser, and yet I'm Martha Greggor
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: I'm her mother and father. I have toured Europe with
• 4:09
  Speaker 7: her ever since she left Vienna.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: She sent you to mister Knight.
• 4:12
  Speaker 7: I suppose yes, mister Holmes, she said you would understand
• 4:17
  Speaker 7: what you.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Mean, mynn. I wonder she.
• 4:19
  Speaker 7: Said that mister Holmes would take care that a talent
• 4:22
  Speaker 7: like hers should not perish just because she had broken
• 4:25
  Speaker 7: a few longs.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: In other words, she wishes me to establish her innocence.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: In the same breath as she confesses her guilt, and
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: I'm afraid I don't take that sort of plant. Good
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: night you, mister.
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: Holmes, Doctor Watson, I am glad that you came to
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: my office this morning. I can show you the proof
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: of miss Lily Raina's guilt. As distinguished foreigners, I should
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: like you to know that though the penalty for political
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: crimes is swift and severe, we are most careful that
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: the incriminating evidence is beyond question.
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: You see these.
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: Letters, We found them sore into the bodies of her gown.
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: There are a series of highly dangerous letters from Yosep,
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: the leader of the revolutionary party, with whom she is
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: obviously handing love. But here you may examine them if
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: you wish.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: It looks like Greek men, our knowledge of the Grossnian
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: language is far from perfect. That these letters certainly seem
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: to incriminate their own beyond doubt.
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: You will observe that the letters have followed her.
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: To each of the cities in which he has been singing.
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: All of them ask questions as to the military garrisons
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: and the chances of a successful revolution.
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: She has been a dangerous fy.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Yes, I can see that, sir, But Even so, isn't
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: the death penalty excessively severe?
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Particularly for a.
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: Woman, doctor Watson?
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: The Balkan States are a hotbed of European intrigue. Our
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: penalties must be severe, and we cannot make concessions to
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: the sex of a.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: Culprit man Joseph, the writer of these letters. Have you
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: been able to find a trace of him?
• 6:04
  Speaker 8: None?
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: If only we could, but we have never even seen
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: the man. However, we are fortunate to trap his assistant
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: and apparently the lady of his choice. Lady of his choice,
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: but she was engaged to Prince de Faro, undoubtedly a blind.
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: In her home we found an unsigned love letter in English.
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: It wasn't the same handwriting as these letters from Yosepa.
• 6:27
  Speaker 8: Are you satisfied, Watson?
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: Well, obviously she's got here. There's no place for me
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: in this affair, particularly when you consider that she made
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: a virtual concession and sending her dresser in the last night.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: I suppose you're right just the same.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: If you want to trap this man yourself, I should
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: think you'd be wiser to hold the girl's a hostage.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: It might bring him on the scene. He's a fraid
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: shielter talk. If you hang her.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: You'll never find him, Docter Watson.
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: In my country, we found that front justice gets the
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: best results. And for your edification, we do not hang.
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: In Grossnia. The death penalty is exacted at the hands
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: of a firing squad.
• 7:03
  Speaker 8: Now when is the execution to take place?
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: You have time you visit?
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: Well, my friends, please to step onto the balcony. I
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: think that answers your question.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Mister Holmes, p Scott against the wall, blindfold of the
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: firing squad before her.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: It's Lili rena.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: Grassny and justice indeed moves swiftly. Mister Krasnodar, it has
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: to my friends a.
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: Panel, can't.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: I don't care what she's done. I don't want to
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: see it. Oh earh she's come to the ground full thing.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: What an artist to see a woman executed, even if
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: she is a spy.
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: May all traitors to gross Near die swiftly?
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: But lost her beautiful voice?
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: Yes, her beautiful voice. Shall we go in, gentlemen?
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: You know homes.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: I can still see that poor girl she crumbled before
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: the firing squad.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: Seven, I old chair.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: That's her song you're playing, isn't it?
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: Yes? The melody still haunts me.
• 8:42
  Speaker 8: You blame me.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: Don't you blame you for what? They're not preventing her death?
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, of course I don't blame your homes. The girls guilty,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Rosny in law prescribes the death penalty for her crime.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: After all you've done about.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: It, nothing, absolutely nothing, yep.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: And yet what.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: I wonder if she was right? I wonder if artistry
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: is that just hers? Isn't a greater value to humanity
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: than spying in any cause?
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: It's so much good worrying about that now, is it?
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: The girl's dead and buried?
• 9:21
  Speaker 8: Yeah, what's what matter? Did you hear that?
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: I hear what?
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: So? Where could I?
• 9:36
  Speaker 8: Said?
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: The dead girl's voice? She was singing her song to
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: my accompaniment.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Oh really, your nurse must be in a very bad
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: stage homes hearing voices.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: Indeed, you better turn in for the knife.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: Perhaps it's maybe more my conscience than my nerves.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: I'll give you a sleeping draft if you're.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: Like, no, no, my dear, I'm all right. It's funny,
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: though I could have sworn the.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: O praise him all that tune one of your homes.
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: Heavens, Uh huh?
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: You heard it this time at Watson?
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Of course I did.
• 10:27
  Speaker 8: It was her voice.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: There's no mistaking it. Oh, I don't believe in ghost,
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: and yet I could swim.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: Listen, good Lord, it is a sha.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Do not let them go unpunished.
• 10:44
  Speaker 8: Who are you?
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: Where are you about? You? I thank you? My dad?
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: Strike a match, Watson, strack a match like the cats.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: Look block broom.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: There in the moonlight, moving past the window. It's the
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: figure that girl was shot at him, Matt Watson.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: I got the door.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: There, guesses light it.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: She's finished, hose, not by means of this door. We're
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: standing in front of it and there's no exit from
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: the room.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: I don't like this. We're gabbling in the supernatural.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: Stop trending, Watson. Whatever the explanation for this may be
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: one thing at least I find quite fascinating. And what's
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: that it's the first time in my career that I've
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: never had a ghost for a cliant.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Doctor Watson will tell us the rest of his story
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: in just a second. So I'm just going to tell
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: you about a wine that adds the perfect finishing touch
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: to a good meal. Petrie California Muscatel, with its sunshiny
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: golden color, and it's full.
• 11:49
  Speaker 8: Of a roma.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: You just know Patrie Muscatel is going to taste good,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: and it really does. Ah the flavor of big plump
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: muscat grapes picked when they're full of bursting with luscious jews.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: For the wine that everybody likes, Sir Patrie Muscatel, you
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: know it's good if it's petree. Well, doctor Watson, so
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: you had a ghostly visitor calling on you at the
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: hotel that night, here's.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: My boy, and I confess I was so badly shaken
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: by the experience that my heart has left the wink
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: all night. Well, the next morning, after an early breakfast,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Homes and I located the propriet of our hotel and
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: began to question him as to the history of the building.
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: Not the architecture of this building ever since you, ever
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: since we came here, and house of this period, would
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: them undoubtedly have been built with secret passages and staircases.
• 12:38
  Speaker 8: I confess that I know of one secret staircase. Then
• 12:42
  Speaker 8: they will.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: Be others, indeed, And then here's the one you know.
• 12:45
  Speaker 8: Of if you wish to explore it.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Gentlemen, oh very much, my friend and I are most
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: interested in such things.
• 12:51
  Speaker 8: Follow me please. These stairs lead to our wine cellars.
• 12:56
  Speaker 9: Thousands of feet have clamped up and down these steps.
• 13:00
  Speaker 9: Only a select few know that behind this tapestry, here,
• 13:06
  Speaker 9: behind this tapestry, gentleman, is apparently a solid.
• 13:09
  Speaker 8: Wall, But the wall is not solid. You have a match, perhaps?
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: Yes, of course you know.
• 13:15
  Speaker 9: We keep a candle here in this niche for just
• 13:18
  Speaker 9: such an occasion as this.
• 13:21
  Speaker 8: So please hold back tapestry, sir.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: Oh, I've got.
• 13:25
  Speaker 8: It, thank you.
• 13:28
  Speaker 9: Let me see one, two three for the fourth brick
• 13:32
  Speaker 9: up from his stair.
• 13:33
  Speaker 8: I press it so and.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: It's got a section of the wall swinging.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: Up a stairway behind it.
• 13:42
  Speaker 9: Genius there, gentlemen, allow me to give you the candle.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: But aren't you going to lead the ol?
• 13:49
  Speaker 8: No, sir, I'm not going to lead away. Thank you.
• 13:52
  Speaker 9: I I wanned this hotel for thirty two years, and
• 13:55
  Speaker 9: yet I have never explored this stairway.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: Why, sir, is it you to be haunted?
• 14:01
  Speaker 8: Yes, it is supposed to be haunted.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: The candles I'm much obliged to come on, Watson, I
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: should wait here.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: I don't think I careve this all?
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: Fight free?
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Dark in here, damp and moory too?
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: Where's landing landy?
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: Nothing? But does doesn't come well, a cursory, chap.
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: There's the faint imprint of a woman's heel here, Oh my.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: George, Yes, shoes that have gone both up and down
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: these stairs in the last one.
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: Who act, And there's a reverse print over here. This,
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: my dear Chap, I think, accounts for the appearance and
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: disappearance of our visitor last night.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: It hopes it was the singer Lily Rainer. Yet we
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: saw her shop yesterday morning.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: Rubbish? What's rubbish? What have we to do with walking copses?
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: Come on home, hello. Let's see where this stairway leads
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: us to.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: Then what did we see? We didn't see a ghost last.
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: Night, my dear chap, is what we have to find out?
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: Mm hmm, Wait a minute. Staircase ends.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's strange, yes, against the blank wall. That doesn't
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: make sense.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: And yet the entrance to this stairway was an apparent
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: blank wall. Tool number. Let's see if the same formula
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: will do the same trick.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: Here was if one, two, three, four.
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: Four bricks up from the stair by press so and.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: Open swinging back again, what.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: Do we see another tapestry, a tapestry that is very familiar.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: So this hidden door legions.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: You're very own better exactly, my dear chap.
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: Now we know beyond doubt how the apparent ghost made
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: her appearance last night.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: You suppose it must have been someone impersonating the.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: Day that, my dear fellow is a question that can
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: only be answered by calling on her fiance, Prince Stefanu.
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: Let's go over and see him at once, Shelby, Prince Tevano.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: I just like to intrude upon your personal tragedy, but
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: I must ask you a few questions. Ask your questions.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: Did your fiance have a sister, sister who may have
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: resembled her? No, she had no living relatives at all,
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: mister Holmes. I'll tell me this who inherits her estates addresser,
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: a faithful old woman by the name of Pata Gregor,
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: who looked after her for some I say, did miss
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: Rainer have an understudy as a singer? She could have
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: no understudy. She was ify pleased, you say as a singer?
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: Was she also an actress? She's, mister Holmes, how very unusual.
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: The first time I saw her was in Toscar. She
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: she was not another baron now, but her performance was
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: very promising. One considering her age in my country. Of course,
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: she was not able to appear in anything but open
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: because because she could not speak Rosthan, she didn't speak Crossian.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: Now I have the answer. Do you answer yes too,
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: holl to this entire story, from the arrest of your
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: fiancee to certain strange visitations at my hotel last night.
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: What do you mean, mister Holmes, If you come to
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: my hotel room tonight, my dear Prince, I can safely
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: promise to make the whole and I dare go a
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: little further. I think that I can even help you
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: find consolation in your bereavement. A Ladies and gentlemen, I
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: can see that you wonder why Dr Watson and I
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: have asked you to come here to our hotel tonight.
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: As Minister of Police.
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: I should be stupid if I did not realize that,
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: since your other to guess the Prince Stefano and Martha
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: Gregg at the dead girl's dresser, that this meeting has
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: some bearing on the execution of miss Lily Rainer, I.
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: Should prefer to say her murder. Ladies and gentlemen, if
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: you please, I should like to make my own position
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: in this matter quite there. Two nights ago, you. Mother
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: came to me on behalf of miss little Rayner to
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: solicit my aid. I convinced that she was guilty, refused
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: that aid. Yesterday morning she died before a firing squad.
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: Last night had ghost appear to me here in this
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: room and asked me to avenge her death.
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: Ghost, what nonsense are you talking?
• 18:00
  Speaker 7: It would be no surprise to me if her poor
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: murdered soul came back from the grave to ask for justice.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Sir, I shaw, my good woman, almost as clearly as
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: I see you all now, I.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: Agree with Prasna Da to talk of ghosts as beyond
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: the Please let me finish. When I had this visitation
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: last night, I decided to investigate the case thoroughly. I
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: did so today, and I can assure you that Miss
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: Vrainer paid for a crime she did not commit.
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: What grounds do you have for saying that, mister?
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: The letters that were supposedly written to her were in
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: the Grosnian language, and yet today Prince Stefano informed me
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: that she could not appear in the theater here because
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: she did not speak the language.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: Those letters were showed into her bodies.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: That's true, my dear fellow. And who was The only
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: person who had the opportunity to do that, the same
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: person who came to me two nights ago and succeeded
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: in convincing me that miss Rainer was guilty. I don't
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: dress her, and suppose, Trent, are you suggesting I'm suggesting
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: that you incredited her estate on her death, and that
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: you would have lost that inheritance if she had married
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: and had a family of her own.
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: What do you have to say in answer to that, Martam, that.
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: I am among madmen?
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Stock of ghost proves it?
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: Then let the ghosts support my theories. Hand me the
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: valid Willie, what's not alone?
• 19:07
  Speaker 9: Of course?
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: Thank you. Now turn down the gas light. But sure
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: that's it and listen. Yes, that's her voice, and that's
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: her figure standing there in the moonlight, even though she's dead.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: You say, aren't you responsible for our death? If I
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: gust can sing, I'm sure I can also talk.
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: I did do it.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: The letters belong to me.
• 19:40
  Speaker 7: I sacrifice my own baby for gold may have enough mercy.
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: On my soul. A confession in front of four witnesses.
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: Why not take it away?
• 19:49
  Speaker 8: Cross the door.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: We'll testify later.
• 19:51
  Speaker 6: I will come with me, Martha.
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: I killed my own baby, I deserve to die.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: But shall I?
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: Can I turn up again home, ask Prince Stefano. No,
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: len not turn it up. I've seen, I've heard the
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: ghost of my beloved when the light's for down, and
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: I'm not afraid. Please play her melodial game, mister Holmes.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: Aren't you afraid? Prince Stefano?
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: Where should I be afraid?
• 20:31
  Speaker 8: Your spirit?
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: I can be no easier one.
• 20:34
  Speaker 8: I love it.
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: I loved you, leaving the pleasure of loveless, but an
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: instant loves regrets last for a lifetime. This is now
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: my lifetime, brightened by your gracious coast. I'm sure this
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: is a very touching scene, but it's getting a bread
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: blin Mordlin. All right this right now, you may come
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: from behind the tapest to Now, what's no chat?
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: Turn not?
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: The guest light does a good golf? You are, Princetevano.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: Permit me to reintroduce you. You. You're far from ghostly,
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: Miss Lily Rainer, my beloved. You. You're no, I am
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: not dead. I cannot see how Sila comstad into my secret.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: And there, my dear young lady, you're in exactly the
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: same boat as I shul.
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: The answer is obvious.
• 21:16
  Speaker 8: You gave me the key yourself.
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: Prince Stefani, when you informed that Miss Rayner had once
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: played the title role in Tosca.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: Tosco, has I got to do with anything of the plot?
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: Watson, a minister of police who is very susceptible to
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: her latest charms, arranges a false execution. Knowing mister Krasnadaw's weakness,
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: Miss Rayner, you prevailed upon him to do likewise.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Huh, well, then the whole execution was a piece of pandomime.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: The rifles must have contained blame.
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: I have tried all alum, And what should have heightened
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: my suspicion, Miss Rayner, was the fact that, at the moment,
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: if you're appalent deaf, mister Krasnadog quoted a line from Tosca.
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: He said, what an artist. I was not perceptive enough
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: at the time to evaluate the remark correctly. I'm afraid
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: when the simulated execution took place, you were free, but
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: assume dead.
• 22:01
  Speaker 9: But why should I indulge in such a trick?
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: Mister hal You reason that had you come to me directly,
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: I might easily have turned you over as a fugitive
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: from justice. And when you decided to dramatize the situation
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: and appear last night as an apparent ghost. You knew
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: it would ear, at the very least stimulate my curiosity.
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: It will caused me to investigate the matter and possibly
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: to learn the truth and clear you from suspicion.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: Well, yes, but homes if she's innocent, how about the
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: love write in English, which was in the handwriting of
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: yourship revolutionarily.
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: Now I can see only one explanation for that, you,
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: Prince Fano, Are that mysterious or revolutionary? Yosip Stefano? Oh no, no,
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: that is not post mister Holmes, you're a visitor in
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: my country. I do not suppose you will be staying
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: here much longer. All these months you'll perceived me silence lily. Gentlemen,
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: I hope for your own sake, you will not be
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: staying here much longer. I've been threatened by far more
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: imposing adversaries than you, Prince Stefano. I suggest that you
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: leave my room. It's none of my business bling in
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: Grossnian political affairs. Your secret is safe. In any case,
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: I came to Grossnia for holiday, goodbye for my soul.
• 23:10

  Speaker 3: Will you you.

  Speaker 1: Know what?
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: And I've only had professional dealings with two singers in
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: my life. The first was Irene Adler, and she fooled me,
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: oh so cleverly.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: And this singer tried to fool you and failed dismally.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Seems to me the scores even.
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: Old Chap, this one was a matter. Irene Adler will
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: always be the woman. Oh well, I think that's enough
• 23:49

  Speaker 4: to be taking a holiday.
