  Speaker 1: You told us last week that tonight's new Sherlock Holmes
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: adventure takes us to the south of France.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: That's right, mister boute, the South of France and the
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: nineteen hundred, a beautiful playground, bordered by the blust of
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: blue seas and populated with an extraordinary cross section of
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: cosmopolitan europe rich man, poor man, beggar, man, thief, all
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: of them attracted by that riviera paradise, all of them
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: drawn by the magical spell of a small white ball
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: spinning round the rim of a erect wheel.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Don't tell me that you and the great Sherlock Holmes
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: were there on a gambling spray.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: We were not, mister Botel.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: At the time my story begins, we just concluded an
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: extremely delicate mission, a mission I may say that concerns
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: the safety and good name.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Of a very prominent member of the royal family.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: Say doctor, you don't meet.

  Speaker 3: One story At times, Tobacco in any.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Event, my boy, I'm afraid that's the case about which
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: my lips are sealed for all time.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: But to return to tonight's adventure.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: One June evening, I persuaded Holmes to accompany me to
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: the gambling casino at Fragus, not far.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: From Cannes, where we were staying.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: It wasn't quite as fashionable as acino at Monte Carlo,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: but as I intended to do a little mind scambling myself,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: it seemed an establishment more suited to my means. As
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: we stood there at the green bays covered tables, the
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: chatter voices and the melodic chanting of the croupiers as
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: they called the results of each spin of the wheel
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: formed a background to a quiet conversation that Holmes and
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: I were having.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: Very fast. Watson must come up soon when I cut
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: your losses offer and come for a stroll with me.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: On the world, just for big wing a couple more
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: bets homes.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: I have a thing.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: The turn is bound to come up. And no, Watson,
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: I believe the blood of a gambler crosses through your vein.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: No har I'm in taking a little flato once in
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: a while.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Why don't you respekt a few francs.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: Oh, thanks you, My dear Chap, the lord of averages
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: convinces me that my money is safer in my pocket.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: In case I'm a.
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: Little dubious as to the integrity of this particular casino,
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: What makes you say that? Well, you will observe that
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: this roulette wheel has a double zero. Most continental wheels
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: have only a single one, but indicate that this house
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: is extremely concerned with its percentage.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna just two more turns to the wheel, Holmes.
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: I'll take that walk with its feeling.
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: Why do you not get on the other side of
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: the favors? I must always stand next to me.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: Hello, good, trouble up there. I've placed my bet, so so.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Let's go and see. Yes you so?
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: Why do you pay here beside me?
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: I have afraid I don't see any reason why I
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: can't play wherever I squish you. You've broken my luck ever.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: Since you come to the table, left on nothing but rules.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Please to move.
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: Away, I'll move away yourself.
• 3:04
  Speaker 7: You don't like my company, Heinrich, Why do you not
• 3:06
  Speaker 7: stop now?
• 3:07
  Speaker 8: You've already lost more than we can.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: A thought I can win it all back if only
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: this young men will move away?
• 3:13
  Speaker 9: Why should my husband? We've had a bad one.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Of luck too. I've lost again, Watson.

  Speaker 9: Didn't think his remarks were in a.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Lot of place, doctor, I said they did, missus Gilbert,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I don't see how I can possibly blame your husband
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: for his run of bad luck.
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: I didn't like to look on his face as he
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: left the table, though. Is the only idea Who he is?
• 3:59
  Speaker 10: His name is Schnemer. He's staying at the same hotel
• 4:01
  Speaker 10: as we are. I've never spoken to him, but i've
• 4:03
  Speaker 10: heard it being Paige there.

  Speaker 6: I am a sympathy for you in your tragic loss,
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: but the casino not be responsible. If a husbandhould not

  Speaker 6: afford to gamble, then he should not come here. However,
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: we to know the financial limitations about customers.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: You said your husband lost everything you had tonight, Madam?
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, everything?
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: Then how do you account for the sheaf of banknotes
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: in his breast pockets must be several thousand francs. Then
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: he wasn't rue and his suicide therefore cannot be blamed
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: on his losses at my tescina.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: Madam, how do you count this money for a flaman?
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: I do not understand. Finally kept nothing from me. I
• 7:50
  Speaker 7: know that he had not so much money on him
• 7:52
  Speaker 7: that he started tonight. Well, why do you all.
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: Look at me like that?
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Is it what you think?
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: You think that? Why just paint it?
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: I've gone. Please just get it to her room.
• 8:01
  Speaker 10: You can take her to my suite in the casino. No,
• 8:03
  Speaker 10: let's take her to the hotel. My wife will look
• 8:05
  Speaker 10: after poor a woman.
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: She's had a dreadful shock. She can probably do with
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: another woman's company. It's better consider it of you, mister Gilbert.
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: Where you staying at the Hotel Creon.
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: It's quite near here.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: I get a cabin.
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: While I'm doing that, watchs and see if you can
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: revive her. Williams Is they're gonna take her to the
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: Hotel Creon.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: It kind of you, missus Gilbert, to let us bring
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: the poor lady into your suite, but the least I
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: can do.
• 8:34
  Speaker 11: Inspite of what she said about Roger bringing her husband
• 8:36
  Speaker 11: bad luck, I'm.
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: Sure she'll need your help when she wakes up.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Helen, I think you will find that your sleep for sumers.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: I gave her a strong sedative.
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: We were just about to have a drink, gentleman, do
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: you care to join us?
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: Thank you, sir, really nice.
• 8:47
  Speaker 11: Gilbert Roger was just telling me that quite a lafe
• 8:50
  Speaker 11: summer money was found on hare Shaman's body.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: Mister hum, yes, missus Gilbert, several thousand francs.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: It's puzzling home. So why should a man commit suicide
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: with so much more money on him?
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: I think the answer is obvious. He didn't.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: What on earth do you mean?
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: Well, the money was placed there after he had shot himself.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: The banks were in his breast pocket, if you remember,
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: and that's the useful place to harry money though it
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: is the easiest pocket for someone to insert it without
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: disturbing the body.
• 9:18
  Speaker 10: But why on earth someone placed money on him after
• 9:20
  Speaker 10: his suicide to prevent the.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: Casino from getting a bad name. I've heard of it
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: being done on several similar occasions.
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: Gives the impression that the unfortunate victim had other motives
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: than gambling losses to a country's suicide.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: You mean that one of the casino employers found the
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: body lying there and slipped the money in his breast
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: pocket before we arrived on the sea.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: As you know, my dear, what's not not a gambling man.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: But I'll lay you one hundred to one.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: That is what happened.
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: That's a new one.
• 9:48
  Speaker 10: Well, here are your drinks, gentlemen, say Helen. Mister Holmes
• 9:51
  Speaker 10: has given me a brain wave.
• 9:52
  Speaker 9: Another one?
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: Is it this time?
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Roger?
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: Now I've been losing very heavily tonight.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: Roger.
• 9:56
  Speaker 9: I told you if you need money, I'll be only
• 9:58
  Speaker 9: But I don't.
• 10:00
  Speaker 10: I've got a scheme for making some. I'm going to
• 10:02
  Speaker 10: gamble again tonight after dinner. If I lose, Here's what
• 10:05
  Speaker 10: I'll do. I'll stain my shirt front with ready, walk
• 10:08
  Speaker 10: out in the grounds, fire a shot, and lie down
• 10:11
  Speaker 10: so I'm dead. I wait for someone to come along
• 10:14
  Speaker 10: and stuff my pockets full of banknotes.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Not a bad idea, mister Gilbert.
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: I think it's a dying good one. What are you saying,
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: mister Holmes.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: To a whimsical won at any rate? Who knows you
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: might even be successful?
• 10:25
  Speaker 9: Roger, you're not really going to do it.
• 10:27
  Speaker 10: I'm sure perhaps I'll get some of my losses back
• 10:30
  Speaker 10: that way. Well, let's drink to it.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Gentlemen.
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: At least I may have hit upon an idea of
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: making money.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: My dear Watson, you have to work hard at your
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: practice when you get back to England. Your infallible system
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: appears to be extremely infallible.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: The fellow told me about it, said it couldn't miss.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: It's just a matter of doubling who's takes each time
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: you'll lose.
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: And then, my dear fellow, I've been studying your system,
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: but I can tell you a really infallible way of
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: making money at roulette.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: You care, what is it?
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: Well on the gambling house and operate the tables yourself.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: The arts would be all in your favor.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Would a brilliant suggestion.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Half gambling to the night Watson, I think, sir, let's
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: take a stroll around the other table, show.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: Another way, old fellow. The young American mister Gilbert was
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: losing heavily again tonight.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: He was, I wonder if you'll try that trick that
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: he threatened, the one with the red.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: Ink from the shot in the night, that should be
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: at all surprised. As a matter of interest, I saw
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: him leave the tables about half an hour A.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Girl here comes his wife from the arm of Mossus
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: Chevroley and the.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: Director of the casino agree with even Missus Gibbett.
• 11:50
  Speaker 11: Monsieur Hello, mister Holmes, Dr Watson, mister Chevy is giving
• 11:55
  Speaker 11: me a personally conducted tour of the casino.
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: It's quite fascinating, and it is quite fascinating for me
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: to have so beautiful a woman on my arm.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: Mamselle, I know that I am the envy of.
• 12:06
  Speaker 9: All men, and stop flattering me so much.
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: I'm not used to it.
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: Missus Gilbert, how is a crush nayman?
• 12:12
  Speaker 11: She seems much better. She wakened an hour ago and
• 12:14
  Speaker 11: insisted on going back to her own room. I wanted
• 12:17
  Speaker 11: her to spend the night with us in last week,
• 12:18
  Speaker 11: but you wouldn't, hear.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: I think I should drop in the sail before I
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: go to.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: Bed at home. You have finished the tempting fortnight.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Perhaps stop then, perhaps about it, Monsieur Chevley. I've had
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: a bad run at the tables.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: I am so sorry.
• 12:30
  Speaker 9: Has anyone seen Roger You.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Left the tables about half an hour ago, Missus Gilbert,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: after doing as I did and losing quite overly.
• 12:36
  Speaker 9: I lost again today. I wonder if you'll try that
• 12:39
  Speaker 9: new system.
• 12:40
  Speaker 8: He was talking about.
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: We were just discussing that possibility ourselves, Missus Gilbert.
• 12:44
  Speaker 7: Missus Gilborth, Missus Gildet's rush sham, and you shouldn't have
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: left your It's too late to worry for me here, doctor,
• 12:50
  Speaker 7: it is for Missus Gilbert now that you should borry.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: What do you mean matter?
• 12:53
  Speaker 7: Well, I've, infact just now to be a poor retired
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: lying in the grass. I saw another body. I was
• 12:59
  Speaker 7: too not to go too close, but I am quite
• 13:02
  Speaker 7: sure that I recognize your husband, Missus Gilbert. Oh, Dr Watson,
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: she's room Roger's trick.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: You have taken fright and voted.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: By the time we get glass, and maybe let's go
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: it once and find out, shall we.
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: He hasn't gone it.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: He's still lying yet.
• 13:25
  Speaker 11: It's the most convincing spectacle that reddink really does look
• 13:29
  Speaker 11: like blood.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: Yes, and blood sometimes looks like red ink. Mister Gilbert, Roger,
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: get up. The joke's spoiled.
• 13:40
  Speaker 9: Roger, get up.
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: And I'm afraid that's impossible, Missus Gilbert, he's dead.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Doctor Watson's story will be continued in just a second,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: which is all the time I need to tell you that.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: The easiest way I know to transform a simple meal
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: into a feast is to serve that meal together with
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Petrie California Subturn. Petri so Turn is a delicate white
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: wine that's the perfect companion for chicken, a turkey. Turkey, Yes,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: turkey and Petri so Turned. That's the heart of any
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Thanksgiving dinner. Look, why not make this Thanksgiving dinner the
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: best one you ever had? Give it the air of
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: a banquet. Serve it with Petri so Turn. And when
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: you buy that Subturn or any wine for your Thanksgiving dinner,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: whatever you do, look for the letters P E, T
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: R I, because a Petri wine is always.
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: A good wine.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Well, doctor, So the Young Americans joke turned out to
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: be another tragedy.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Yes, the poor fellow was lying there dead with a
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: bullet wound in the hut, a great splash of blood
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: stating the whiteness of his shirt front.
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: What happened next?
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: The should Chevre, director of the casino, took to di
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: stort widow away from the scene while Holmes and I
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: examined the body. Cli Within a few minutes we were
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: joined by Inspector Ganivee of the French police. As we
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: stood there in the moonlight, the sounds of music we
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: heard from the casino.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: It was hard to believe that two men have died
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: in that lovely garden since the moon had risen.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: Monsieur Olmes, you and.
• 15:24
  Speaker 12: Doctor Watson have concluded your examination.
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: Yes, Inspector Ganniver, you favor me with your observations.
• 15:30
  Speaker 12: You say that you are certain that this is not
• 15:32
  Speaker 12: another suicide.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: I'm sure of, Inspector. Look at the wound.
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: The bullet entered the body at a direct right angle,
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: whereas a self inflicted shot is always part of brick claim.
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: Yes, that is so.
• 15:42
  Speaker 12: Then you suggest that this man was shut from above
• 15:45
  Speaker 12: as he lay on the ground pretending to be dead.
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: I'm convinced of it. Why, Monsieur well for two.
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: Reasons, though it's impossible to be sure without elaborate retest.
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: I'm certain beneath those bloodstains are stains of red ink.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: Look for your self, Inspector. Indeed, he does look like it.
• 16:01
  Speaker 12: What is your other reason for being certain that this
• 16:04
  Speaker 12: man was shot as he lay here pretending dead.
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: I showed the bank notes, Watson, Inspector.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: We found them stuffed in his breast pocket.
• 16:12
  Speaker 12: So bank notes with a bullet hole through the middle
• 16:15
  Speaker 12: of them very illuminating. They tell me, gentlemen, how many
• 16:19
  Speaker 12: people knew.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: Of this little plot?
• 16:21
  Speaker 12: You have told me about this plan of the dead
• 16:23
  Speaker 12: man's to pretend to be shot?
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: Just three people inspected Dr Watson, myself and missus Gilbert Lord.
• 16:28
  Speaker 12: Then the answer is obvious. You and your friend are innocent.
• 16:30
  Speaker 12: It must be the wife who killed him. No one
• 16:33
  Speaker 12: else knew of the plan.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: I'm not so sure of that, for osh name and
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: the dead German's widow was in the next room when
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Gilbert told us about his plan.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: She might have heard that. I could swear that she
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: was asleep. I gave her a very strong sleeping draft.
• 16:45
  Speaker 12: From what you have told me of her husband's suicide,
• 16:48
  Speaker 12: she might easily have had a motive for murdering miscam Come, Come, gentlemen, surely.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: Gets obvious who murdered mister Gilbert? Whom as your own?
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: Well, certainly one of the two widows.
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: Since there seems to be some doubt in your minds,
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: I suggest turned to the casino. I can promise you
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: the answer to your question within a very few minutes. Well,
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: Monsieur Chevat, now that we're all assembled in your office,
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: I shall sit down quietly and let Inspector Gannaway conduct
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: his examination. No, no, no, monsieur Holmes. No, you have
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: handled the case so far.
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: Please to continue.
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: Into the end.
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: Yes, miss your Holmes. I should appreciate it and be
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: happy to casino. Very well, gentlemen, it won't take me long. First,
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: name one your her Holmes.
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: What time did you leave your hotel tonight?
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 17:39
  Speaker 9: I do not know what time it was.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: Well what made you leave you?
• 17:42
  Speaker 8: I could not sleep.
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: I knew that they had taken poor Heinrich's body away,
• 17:46
  Speaker 7: but I felt that I must walk back there.
• 17:48
  Speaker 8: It was the last place I saw him alive.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: How close did you come to mister Gilbert's body when
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: you saw it lying there?
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: Close enough to see who it was? Then I ran
• 17:56
  Speaker 7: into the casino to tell his wife. I knew what
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: had happened.
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: How did you know? You say you didn't come close
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: to the body.
• 18:03
  Speaker 7: I could tell by every line of the body, asid lady.
• 18:06
  Speaker 7: I could tell because I knew that poor Heinrich Stett
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: would not be avenged.
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: Thank you for saman That will be all you, my girl,
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: that's your homes She has no alib bi. Surely you
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: get to gather bay if I'm to conduct this investigation.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: I must do it in my own way.
• 18:18
  Speaker 12: Third old, miss your Holmes, please continue.
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: You may go, plushly man, Missus Gilbert.
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: Yes, mister Holmes, where were you plied to our meeting
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: in the casino tonight? Just before we discovered your husband's body?
• 18:33
  Speaker 11: After I left the hotel, I walked over here along
• 18:35
  Speaker 11: the seafront.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: Can anyone verify that statement?
• 18:39
  Speaker 9: I suppose not. I didn't meet anyone that I knew.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: And what did you do when you arrived at the casino?
• 18:44
  Speaker 11: I played a little shamande theayer. A few months later,
• 18:47
  Speaker 11: Missie Chevy came over to the table and I said,
• 18:50
  Speaker 11: escort me over the club. Ten minutes after that, we
• 18:54
  Speaker 11: walked into you and doctor Watson.
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: That is quite too miss your Holmes, I can swear
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: to it. Thank you, Missus Gilbert. I'm sorry to distress
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: you with the questions.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: You may go.
• 19:01
  Speaker 9: I'll wait outside, mister Holmes. I must know what happened.
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: Wait for me, then, Madam, I shall join you in
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: a few minutes.
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: And it's got your home well. Another suspect for the
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: poor alibine. Hey gunnebete, I.
• 19:14
  Speaker 12: Must same as your homes. Your methods puzzle me. It
• 19:17
  Speaker 12: seems to me that both those women should be watched.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: Yes, I agree with the inspector Holmes.
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: He's our body inspector, and I've asked two of your
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: playing clothes men to keep an eye on the ladies.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: And now, Monsieur Chevray, I'd like to ask you a
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: few questions.
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: Ask me any questions you wish, Mischeur Holmes, thank you.
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: You will agree that it is the custom of the
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: casino to put money on the bodies of suicides after
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: their death. The impression that gambling and gambling losses were
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: not responsible for the tragedy, well, I do not think.
• 19:45
  Speaker 12: Come now, Chevrey, I know that is a fact as
• 19:47
  Speaker 12: well as.
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: You do exactly now on those rather grucime occations. Whose
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: responsibility is it to secrete the money yours? Or do
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: you entrust the matter to an underling? I do it myself.
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: I see. Did you place the money on hershnam and tonight, Monchieur,
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: I did? And did you also perform the same service
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: on the body of mister Gilbert Nor I knew nothing
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: of that death until the German lady Fauschneman running into
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: the casino.
• 20:10
  Speaker 12: Excuse me, interrupting, monsieur, of course, inspector, what is it?
• 20:13
  Speaker 12: I think that you are wasting time. It is obvious
• 20:16
  Speaker 12: that Madame Gilbert committed the crime. She knew of her
• 20:18
  Speaker 12: husband's plood, she had no alibi, and she had the
• 20:21
  Speaker 12: motive for it is not marriage itself, the greatest of
• 20:25
  Speaker 12: all motives for murder.
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: Or, my dear inspector, how very sonical. Madame deberted not
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: till her husband.
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: I know it. And what is your opinion, Watson?
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: It's a German woman. She had no alibi either, and
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: remember she was half mad with grief.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: Mister Chevray, you say that you know missus Gilbert is
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: not guilty. How do you know I was with her
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: myself at the time the murder was committed. Oh indeed,
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: how very interesting. And what time was the murder committed?
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: Well it was it was.
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: Our investigations have never established what time the murder was committed,
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: Monsieur Schevrey.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: I'm afraid you walked into my track, you giving yourself
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: away it Scott Chevy. It was you, Chefrey. I have
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: known you a good many years and this is going
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: to be a hard thing to do. I am going
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: to arrest you.
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: Although you are not Jellevy, but that revolves.
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: Do not be fightened, Data. I am not going to
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: shoot you, Chevrey. Why did you murder Roger Gilbert to night?
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: Surely you know that too, Monsieur Holmes, because I am
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: in love with his wife.
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: She's young, beautiful Andreich.
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: It did not occur to me until I saw the
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: young fool lying there tonight.
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: Pretending to be dead. In my profession, it is natural
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: that I should carry a revolver. What was simpler? Mister
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: Hupert gave me the perfect opportunity. I could not resist it.
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: Down that revolver, Chevrey, Why are you also frightened?
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: Surely you know how I am going to use it
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: this time? I think so, monsieur. But it's a coward's
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: way out. What an unperceptive remark for such a perceptive man. No, No,
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: on my life, I have been a dampler. I dembled
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: tonight for the highest ticks.
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: Of all and I lost. No, No, I'm not afraid
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: to pay for my losses.
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: Our reformers.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: An extraordinary case, Hermes. I never suspected gre.
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: And I all Chace effected him from the beginning.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Well, I wasn't the only one who was stupid anaware
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: the Inspector Ganniwer.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: Thought it was the one true, but it passing conclusion
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: for a detective inspector to arrive at it seemed logical.
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: Enough to me time No, no, no, my dear, what
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: and cold logic should have told you otherwise. Roger Gilbert
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: had been losing heavily and that planned the hoax. He
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: obviously had no money on him. Therefore the money was
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: planted in his pocket by Chevret after he shot him
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: no mediphone before before the bullet hole through the bank notes.
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: Provided that now, had the money been put there innocently,
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: Gilbert would have well, you know, come back to life
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: as soon as the person placing it there had left.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: He would not have remained lying on the ground for
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: a murderer to find him.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: And Chivary must have bent over him as he lay there,
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: placed the money in his breast pocket and then fast precisely.
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: Watson, well, well, I must.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: Say you solved it very neatly.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: You've told Inspector Gannyway that you wanted no credit in
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: the case.
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: Naturally, publicity would be unfavorable. If you remember, no one
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: is supposed to know that we're in the South of France.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Certain the inspector learned a few tips about detection tonight, possibly,
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Old Fellow, and I hope that you have learned a
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: few things about gambling.
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: How do you mean, Well, you're backing the wrong color.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: A gambler is usually superstitious and superstition. Well, I should
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: have told you what color to follow to night.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: I still don't understand your homes I was playing number.
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: Ten exactly number tennis black. You should have followed a
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: red color to night, Old Fellow, the color of red, ink,
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: red ink, and blood.
