  Speaker 3: Are you already with the night's new Sherlock M's Adventure?
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: I am ready?
• 0:09
  Speaker 4: If you are the boy, how would you like to
• 0:11
  Speaker 4: hear a story that took place in Italy?
• 0:13
  Speaker 5: In Italy?
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Say you?
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: And the Great Cherlot Colm certainly did get around?
• 0:18
  Speaker 5: What took you there? Doctor?
• 0:19
  Speaker 4: We've gone to Rome to investigate the sudden death of
• 0:22
  Speaker 4: Cardinal Tosca, an inquiry which I may tell you, mister
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: Bartell was carried out by Holmes at the express desire
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: of his Holiness.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: The Pope, Say doctor, that sounds like.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: A well known o mister Bartell. That's a story that
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: I'm afraid I can never tell you. However, Tonight's adventure
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: took place a few days after Holmes had brought his
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: case to a satisfactory, though somewhat terrifying conclusion.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: I suggested to the Great Man that a short.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: Holiday would be good for us before returning to England,
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: and so we spent some happy days browsing among the
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: architectural treasures of old Rome, the Colosseum, the baths of Caracalla,
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: the Forum, the wonderful ruins on the Palatine Hill, I
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: couldn't drag homes away from mister Bartel, and at nighttime
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: he was able to indulce to his heart's content, his
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: great love of music. Finally, it was two nights before
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: we were to sail for England. I remember we went
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: to the opera house to hear the famous Italian soprano
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: Gina Valcazy singing bird his immortal lot traviata. I can
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: hear that exquisite voice now, mister Bartel, As Holmes and
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: I seated in a box, listened spelled down to the
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: great Valcazy singing her last. What a voice, Watson, what
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: a magnificent boy, Yes it is, Holmes. A pity though,
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: that most opera stars who were singing at Nightingale seemed
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: to have the figures of.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Unusually well fed powder pigeons. Poor woman, she must weigh
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: at least twenty stone.
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: Nevertheless, you mustn't refer to her as poor, my dear chap.
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: Despite her somewhat unfortunate proportions, Signora Gildavalkse remains one of
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: the greatest and wealthiest of contemporous spanos.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Listened to real clause sheial.
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: Singing uncore, We might as well go back to addressing room.
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: Now the opera's almost over.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Why are we going back to her dressing?
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: Because during the last tervision I received a note from
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: her requesting my attendance.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Oh what did the notes say?
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: Well, it seems that the.
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: Lady is not too popular with certain numbers of the
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: opera company. Well, I've no wish to become entangled in
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: any opera clashed temperaments, I confess I find myself not
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: a little interested in meeting the lady.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: She's Interestinger Blancore.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Are you really going back to her dressing?
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: Certainly, my dear fellow, I've summons from GeNose is no
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: more to be disobeyed than our royal command.
• 3:15
  Speaker 7: I must ask you, gentlemen, not to stand us at
• 3:18
  Speaker 7: lava cases dressing room. We permit on our strangers, particularly foreigners.
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: The senora has requested our presents. May I ask who
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: you are permitting me to introduce myself.
• 3:29
  Speaker 7: Gentlemen, I am Armando Bellini, Inspector of Police.
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: My name is Homes. Sheila comes and this is my friend,
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: doctor Watson.
• 3:35
  Speaker 7: Sure lack of Homes, but this is a great honor.
• 3:39
  Speaker 7: Allow me to apologize. Here in the opera house we
• 3:42
  Speaker 7: have to be so careful. You understand that of intrigues
• 3:46
  Speaker 7: there are so many. But send your homes and his friend.
• 3:50
  Speaker 7: I am so happy to meet you both at headquarters.
• 3:54
  Speaker 7: I hear wonderful reports of your work in the gardenal toscaf.
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: I prefer not to mention that, unfortunately, Inspector, except on
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: the conditions of extreme privacy.
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: Are quite so, and behind the scenes of the opera
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: is not the most secluded place. Please to forgive me.
• 4:09
  Speaker 7: You are waiting to see Lavalces. Yes, she is still
• 4:12
  Speaker 7: on the stage.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: She has requested your presence, you say in your home.
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: Yes, I trust the meeting is to be a social
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: and not a professional one. Where sailing for England in
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: a couple of days.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: And you come to hear the great Arcs singer before
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: you left.
• 4:25
  Speaker 7: Most understand a magnificent voice, Inspector, yes, a doctor and
• 4:30
  Speaker 7: still well, I am a devote opera over myself. Yet
• 4:35
  Speaker 7: I cannot help but feel it's a futuralizer with those
• 4:38
  Speaker 7: who can add a youth and bety into a great voice.
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: That's true truth in your But where can you find
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: such a combination?
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I have a found it here in the opera.
• 4:48
  Speaker 7: There is a girl. She is my protegee. Someday I
• 4:52
  Speaker 7: hope she will be my wife. At the moment, she
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: is only understudying Lavalcesi. If she should ever get to
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: the app fraternity of singing her her place, then a
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: new star will be born.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Really, what's her name?
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: Lisa Bordoni.
• 5:07
  Speaker 7: She has but recently come to Rome from Milano, where
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: she was studied with the great Alphaerra. Confidentially, I think
• 5:14
  Speaker 7: that Labor Casey is so jealous of all that.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Here is Lisa now, and that is her brother with her.
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: Lisa Karma, pleaser to join us, by George, what a
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: beautiful girl?

• 5:32
  Speaker 7: Ackholmes and his friend doctor Watts.

• 5:40
  Speaker 8: two gentlemen. No, I can't tell you how many times
• 5:43
  Speaker 8: I've read your stories, Doctor Watson.
• 5:44
  Speaker 7: In Liza, I'm very flattered, Lisa Karma, we were just
• 5:49
  Speaker 7: the saying that an youth and a beauty combine with
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: the voice Liza our future hope in the opera. Your
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: day will come, Lisa, Mia your they will come soon.
• 6:00
  Speaker 9: I hope you're right, Armando, But as long as I
• 6:03
  Speaker 9: understudy Gina Valcazy, I don't see when I'll get my chance.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: And she's disgustingly healthy.
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: If you're about my saying so, young lady, your name
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: is BORDONI you and your brother don't sound in the
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: least Italian.
• 6:13
  Speaker 8: Well we're not, mister Holmes, We're American. But to succeed
• 6:16
  Speaker 8: in Italian opera, my sister has found that an Italian
• 6:19
  Speaker 8: name is essential, so the Bordon family became the Bordonis.
• 6:23
  Speaker 9: In any case, my real name is Lizzie Borden. I'm
• 6:27
  Speaker 9: sure you, mister Holmes, is a famous detective.

• 8:25
  Speaker 4: The lady asks you to come and see her, and
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: when you do, she pretends she's never heard of you.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: And here it is nearly twenty four hours later, and
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: you've done absolutely nothing about it.
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: Dear old Watson, nearly quite upset over the affair, aren't

  Speaker 6: you well? If it will make you any happier, let

  Speaker 6: me tell you what I have done something about it.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I'm delighted to hear it.
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: What This morning I was able to obtain a specimen
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: about our cases handwriting from an autographed picture in the
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: possession of Inspector Biline. I compared the writing with that
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: on the note and I that I received from the
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: box last night. It was that it was the same,
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: proving that the message IRIS see it was authentical in
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: that case, Why did she snub you like that? Well,
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: something was to fight her. I suppose something or someone
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: who was standing at the dressing room door with us.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: Well, who was the Inspecta Bellini, Lisa Bordoni and her brother.
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: Therefore, we may assume that lave Alcaze had no wish
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: to recognize.
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: Me and their presence.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: But if you think that old, why haven't you been
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: in touch with her today? She may be in some
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: dreadful day.
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: If she is, she can find me easily enough. I meanwhile,
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: I'm perfectly happy to pet alone. The last few weeks
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: have been sufficiently strenuous without becoming involved in some fresh case.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: My so home, you must be tired. I've never known
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: you to be so indifferent to a case, Great Scott,
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: what it is?
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: Watson?
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Look walking to watch Signora vel Caze herself and.
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: Judging from the latest expression, she seems to be in
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: some distress. Could you mean, Senela?
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I must speak my jo.
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: This is my colleague, doctor Watson. How do you do? First?
• 9:53
  Speaker 9: I must apologize for my bievre last night. It would
• 9:56
  Speaker 9: have been dangerous if that Belkaty had acknowledged that she
• 9:59
  Speaker 9: had to communicate with you.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: That's just what my friend assume happened.
• 10:02

  Speaker 6: the horseman was?
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: No, she cannot speak seen you.
• 11:00
  Speaker 9: They say at the hospital that her skull is a fractured,
• 11:03
  Speaker 9: that she may not leave in your arms.
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: That attack.
• 11:07
  Speaker 9: It was immense for me. You must have protected me.

• 11:12
  Speaker 9: My No, what wrong, madam?
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Somewhere that a cat?
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: I know it's me.

• 11:45
  Speaker 1: cannot appear to be near a cat. I cannot tell
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: you what it DoD to me.
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: He may sound no, no, not at all, Senora. Such
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: a condition is quite common. In fact, I believe medical
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: science has given it a name. It's known as Laura pol.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Whatever it is it called.
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: It make me ill. I must go to my room.
• 12:03
  Speaker 9: I cannot stand much more.
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: My poor I imagine your sister death dogs in your life.
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: You will not sing tonight, sing your arms.
• 12:13
  Speaker 9: I love her very much, but even as sister is only.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: A sister, my art is my life.
• 12:19
  Speaker 9: In an hour, singer, I sing Hilda in a rigoletto.
• 12:23
  Speaker 9: You will attend the performance, and afterwards you will tell
• 12:26
  Speaker 9: a love Casey how she may trap this devil who
• 12:29
  Speaker 9: sit to destroyer.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Holmes. It's after nineteen thirty. We've missed quite a lot
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: of the opera.
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: How they was going to above now just been time
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: to hear at our case he sing the incomparable caronomy.
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: Let's slip in as quietly as we can.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: Seems to me we should have been in a box
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: from the beginning of the performance. She asked you to
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: keep an eye on it.
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: That's old Champ.
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: But it occurred to me that an attack on her
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: during the performance was unlikely, and that our time might
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: be more profitably spent thinking inquiries of the writing academy.
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: She drew a blank.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: We'll no trace of that mysterious writer.
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: No, but at least we tried. Here we are, let's
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: stand at the back of the theater for a few minutes.
• 13:26
  Speaker 11: Great Scott, that isn't our cases singing, it's the understudy.
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: But these protoghe the American girls. What a beautiful life one,
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: but with a beautiful, wonderful range. But yeah, we have
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: no time to listen to her. Now we must go
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: to the dark cases dressing.
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: Them at once. We know she left the theater to
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: night with the intention of singing.
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: I'm very much afraid there's the devil's work of what Watson?
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Why on earth doesn't she answer?
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: Listen the cats inside her dressing room. Come on, Watson,
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: lot with your shoulder to it. Come on, help me,
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: Come on, that's more. Come on now, what's there?
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: Fats cut?
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: She's unconscious, Watson, see what you can do for her.
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: She must have tinked of the fight. Yes, some fiend
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: knowing her deadly fear of cats as lucks her in
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: here with half a dozen nothing.
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: Shore, Shore on me Shore.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Her eyes are opening, Hose, she's coming to see ner Varkese.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Her lips are moving. She's trying to speak.
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: Sor tell me who did this to you? Hu, greats, heavens.
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: Her voice is gone. I've done many vicious crimes in
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: my lifetime, Watson, but to murder a voice, a voice
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: that was one of the treasures of the world, is
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: as viol like killing as I've ever encountered.
• 15:07
  Speaker 12: Doctor Watson will tell you the rest of his story
• 15:09
  Speaker 12: in just a few seconds. And right now would be
• 15:12
  Speaker 12: a wonderful time to try a glass of Petrie California
• 15:15
  Speaker 12: Port in the evening after dinner. Well, anytime you're taking
• 15:20
  Speaker 12: things easy is the perfect time for petre Port. Petre
• 15:24
  Speaker 12: Port is a rich red wine, the kind of wine
• 15:27
  Speaker 12: you like to sip slowly so you won't miss a
• 15:29
  Speaker 12: drop of its truly fine flavor. I'm not kidding when
• 15:33
  Speaker 12: I say you owe it to yourself and your family
• 15:36
  Speaker 12: to try Petri Port. In fact, you should try pet
• 15:39
  Speaker 12: Report and Petrie Muscatel.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: So don't buy one, buy.
• 15:43
  Speaker 12: Two, buy both Port and Muscatel.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: Just be sure you get Petrie, because Petree wine is
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: always good wine.
• 15:53
  Speaker 12: Dr Watson saw the great opera singer lost her voice
• 15:55
  Speaker 12: when someone locked in a room full of cats.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Huh, what did you and Sherlock Holmes do?
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: We took senior Valcazy back to her hotel at once
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: and saw that she was properly taken care of.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: How did the understudy, Lisa Bordoni make out?
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: Doctor, But tragedy that over took Clark Valcazy gave her
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: her great chance. She received a tremendous ovation of the
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: close of the performance, and it seemed certain that another
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: star had been born. But let me tell you the
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: story just as it happened, mister Bartel. A little later
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: that night, Holmes and I were once again standing on
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: the balcony of our hotel.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Watching a crowd of people that had assembled in the culture.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: You see that crowd, Watson yes, I suppose they've come
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: here to proclaim the news starf.
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: Oh no, my dear fellow, that crowd isn't planning a celebration.
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: Look at them and listen to their angry murmuring her faith.
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: There's going to be trouble. I don't like to look
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: at it.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Hello, here comes Lisa Border and his brother Wally. What trump, sir,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: mister Holmes, mister Holtes, You've got to do something.
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: What's happened?
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: Well, somehow the story about the cats and law Valcasey's
• 16:49
  Speaker 8: dressing room is spread. The crowd outside are saying that
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: my sister Lisa planned the whole thing so that she
• 16:54
  Speaker 8: could sing Valcazy's part in.
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: The opportunity with her sister now in a room at
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: the hotel.
• 16:58
  Speaker 8: Here, I managed to get her away from the crowd
• 16:59
  Speaker 8: and I locked her in. But then mob, I'm frightened.
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: Ah.
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: Here comes the official representative of blond daughter and inspected
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: Bilin Waale.
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: Where is Lisa?
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: I was just telling mister Holmes that I'd locked her.
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: In a room and that crowd's in a dangerous mood. Beline,
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: what precautions you're taking?
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: I ever thrown a card down of police around the hotel.
• 17:16
  Speaker 7: The mob is getting out of her hand and Lisa
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: must be protected. As a matter of fact, the situation
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: is even worse than the crowd knows. I have just
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: been thought that Lava Case's twin sister, Bella died in the.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Hospital tonight, that I had some murder charge.
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: If the crowd knew about that, I tremble to think
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: what might happen?
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: Did you see that lab Casey's sister.
• 17:38
  Speaker 7: Was a twin, Inspector sees in your homes? She was
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: a horror exact double in everything but voice.
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: Indeed, how very illuminating. If you don't mind, I strik
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: have a few words in private with my friend doctor
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: Watson excuses for.
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: A momentes, what do you make of at homes? Why
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: are you old? Chap Well?
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: The American girl seemed really charming and all that, But
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: she might have done it. It had to be either her,
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: her brother or the inspector himself. They all had a
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: motive for wanting lave bel CAZy to lose her voice.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: But I must say I can't understand the motive behind
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: the murder of her.
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: To insist, I think I can give you the answer
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: to that question. In a very few minutes. But meanwhile
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: the mob gets uglier and ugliar. The only way to
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: avert violence, Watson, is to give them quick proof and
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: a certainty of conviction and just go back to BERLINI
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: and the young American, and I want to keep an
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: eye on them. Meanwhile, I want you to slip out
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: and get me a cat.
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: Cat.
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: What a fool you will find out soon enough.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: What kind of a cat?
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: Any kind?
• 18:31
  Speaker 10: But hurry, come on, ki kitty, Come on.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Kid, there's a good kitty.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, here, what you're doing a hotel gas?
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: Senor?
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: You want to play with my cat? Or is he
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: your cat? Charley Middleville? I'd like to borrow him for
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: a little while.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Why you want to bottle my cat?
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: I thought I'd take him up to my hotel room
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: and have a little game with him. I've got some
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: old socks he can play with.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Deal the English had a crazy race. My cat does
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: not like to play with the old socks.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Look here, he has fifty.
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: Lira for you.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: I tell you my cat does not like to play
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: with the old socks. My cat would stay here and
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: you can keep it your money. I'll give you a
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: halfred lira, so that you may stuff my cat full
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: of old socks.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: No, no, give me back my cat. Oh that's Amazy
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: is with you. You're headed back there.
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: Stub him, stuff him, the crazy englishman. He's stealing my cat.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Well, I've got a cat for your homes.
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: But I wish you'd tell me what we're doing outside
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: val CAS's door with it.
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: I'm going to try an experiment. You open her bedroom
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: door softly, so slip the cat in so and close
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: the door.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Hold man, what the places you think you're doing? You'll
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: drive her?
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: Man, I think not. Listen and watch through the keyhole
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: if you can.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Homes it's come back.
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: Yes, I thought it might.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: I can see her through the keyhole. She's picking the
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: cat up by the scruff of its neck.
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: She's walking toward the balconyes, and towards the crowds down below.
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: An excellent opportunity for a public confession.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Come on, come up, what do you want?
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: I charge you with the murder of your sister, the
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: great singer about Kissy. If there was a magnificence inior homes,
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: a magniferson, the way you forced her to confess on
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: the balcony and a full side of the mark.
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: And so you saved Lisa. I can't thank you enough, mister.
• 21:14
  Speaker 9: Holmes, No can I, though I still don't see how
• 21:17
  Speaker 9: you guessed.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: She looked so much like a sister that she fool
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: even me her understand.
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: Yes, it was an extremely cunning plot. Bespname the real
• 21:25
  Speaker 6: Valcasein sent me that note last night. When I met
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: her at the dressing room door, she denied having sent
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: for me because the three of you were there.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: I suppose that she suspected one of us.
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: Oh, yes, obviously, and Lida no doubt. She told her
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: twin sister, Bella, about having sent me the message, and
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: also announced her intention of coming to see me. Bella
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: saw her opportunity murdered Lavalcase, assumed her identity, and to
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: give added realism to her role, followed through with her
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: sister's plans by coming to see me today.
• 21:51
  Speaker 8: But I still don't understand this business, mister Holmes. Why
• 21:55
  Speaker 8: did the twin sister lock herself in her dressing room
• 21:57
  Speaker 8: and fill it with cats?
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: What did it accomplish? Need a chance to see?
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: That's true, which is why Watson felt certain the criminal
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: must be you, your brother or Senor Belline. But you see,
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: the episode of the cats accomplished one other thing. It
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: made it plausible that the Great Falkase should never sing again.
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: To whose advantage would that be an imposter across.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: A person or a twin sister who could not sing,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: and who must surely end her sister's great thing.
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: Exactly, my dear fellow.
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: As soon as I knew they were twin sisters and everything,
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: but voyce it became more than a possibility. It became probability.
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: But it had to be tested. That's why I sent
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: for the cat, Watson. When the sister, thinking herself unobserved,
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: exhibited no terror for cats, well, it became a certain.
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: Day on my soul home.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: This is as fantastic a plot as ever.
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: We've met a diabolical plan, Watson, and I'm only thankful,
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: Miss Boudonney that we were able to expose it before
• 22:49
  Speaker 6: the crowd reached you tonight.
• 22:51
  Speaker 9: I don't know what I can ever do to repay you,
• 22:53
  Speaker 9: mister Holmes.
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: Oh that would be hard, my dear.
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: A box of cuff and garden for your London debut
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: would be well an ample repayment. And from what I
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: hear your reception in Brigoletto tonight. I shan't have to
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: wait very long for that reward, eh.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: It's a promise me.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: Excusedly pleased, all over the hotel, I look up for
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: my cat.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: I say to myself, pease, he's stealing my cat.
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: He's picked up Alina.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: You arrassed him.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: He tried to bribe him, and he ran.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Away with my cat.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: And fill them full of old English SARTs, oh the
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: shi
