Sherlock Holmes Radio Poisoning at Eel Pie Island Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bru · Sherlock Holmes

0:01
Speaker 1: Now back to the fatal poisoning on eel Pie Island.
0:05
Speaker 1: The title sounds indigestible to begin with, Dr Watson, eel
0:09
Speaker 1: Pie Island.
0:10
Speaker 2: Look, is there really such a place for the ignorance
0:13
Speaker 2: of the men? If you'd ever been builting on the Thames,
0:16
Speaker 2: you'd know it well. Yes, seated Pie Island lies in
0:20
Speaker 2: the prettiest stretch of the river between Richmond and Hampton Court. Furthermore,
0:24
Speaker 2: it has a very popular inn which is famous for its.
0:27
Speaker 3: Ail and its eel pie Oh naturally.
0:30
Speaker 4: Cold refreshing mug of ale off to pull up the
0:33
Speaker 4: river in the hot sun, and a delicious slice of
0:36
Speaker 4: cold eel piem.
0:38
Speaker 1: I could certainly go over the first item, doctor Watson,
0:41
Speaker 1: but I'm not quite so sure about the second.
0:43
Speaker 4: You know, mister Harris. That's exactly what Holmes said. Some
0:47
Speaker 4: twenty or so years ago. It was Sunday afternoon and
0:50
Speaker 4: Mary was expecting some relatives for Tea. Noticing my agonized expression,
0:55
Speaker 4: she handed me this blazer and suggested Holmes and I
0:58
Speaker 4: go for all and you'll dune boating expedition up the Thames. Consequently,
1:04
Speaker 4: four o'clock found us in a four odd skip risk
1:07
Speaker 4: discoming past Camphouse, the Jacobeane seat of the Earl of
1:10
Speaker 4: Disart back in sixteen ten.
1:13
Speaker 5: Of course, oh obviously.
1:15
Speaker 4: Yes, we were skimming. Holmes was as fish as a
1:18
Speaker 4: daisy after miles pool up from Richmond. I'm afraid I
1:23
Speaker 4: had begun to melt broke.
1:48
Speaker 6: Get you back into it, Watson, Stroke, stroke, Watson, that's
1:56
Speaker 6: the third time you's ms count stroke.
2:00
Speaker 4: My stomach keeps getting in the way.
2:04
Speaker 6: That's what comes of being a married man, meals at
2:06
Speaker 6: regular hours.
2:08
Speaker 5: Nothing to joke you out of your rut.
2:10
Speaker 4: I was jolting out of it four years when I
2:13
Speaker 4: rejoined during the late War. I enjoy my rut.
2:16
Speaker 5: Thank you.
2:16
Speaker 4: I don't wish to be joty out of it again.
2:20
Speaker 6: You mean you don't ever miss the old Baker Street days,
2:23
Speaker 6: the excitement, the suspense, danger.
2:28
Speaker 4: I enjoyed all in retrospect. I say, hood, that's eve
2:33
Speaker 4: Pie Island, upperhead. What do you say we put under
2:38
Speaker 4: those willows for a bit of a breathering, I don't
2:40
Speaker 4: need a breather. I wonder if the a that the
2:44
Speaker 4: inn is as cool as a memory round tangye. I
2:49
Speaker 4: can just feel it trickling down my throat. And the
2:53
Speaker 4: ear pie crustal, flaky and tender.
2:57
Speaker 6: I have no interest whatever an eel wants and nasty,
3:00
Speaker 6: slimy fish. Besides, we're duty bound to demolish the contents
3:04
Speaker 6: of the hamper. Missus Watson prepared for it. Some loving
3:07
Speaker 6: care from the contents. I suspect she hoped will be
3:10
Speaker 6: gone a week. No, Watson, no eel pie.
3:14
Speaker 4: Strow Holmes, you are feeling.
3:18
Speaker 6: However, I do think I could be interested in a
3:21
Speaker 6: mug of ale.
3:22
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, Watson, they are right.
3:26
Speaker 3: Stroke.
3:28
Speaker 4: Thank god you have some human weaknesses.
3:45
Speaker 5: There.
3:46
Speaker 6: We are all tied up in ship shape. Watson, you
3:48
Speaker 6: unpacked the hamper while I go for the ale.
3:50
Speaker 4: Oh oh no, don't bother I go. I want to
3:52
Speaker 4: stretch my legs.
3:53
Speaker 5: No, what's not going I thought of it first.
3:54
Speaker 4: Oh so you can have an extra mug while you're waiting. No,
3:57
Speaker 4: you don't. Re both go for the ale.
4:00
Speaker 7: Come along then, careful you the rivers, these white trousers.
4:05
Speaker 7: They must have shrugged since last summer. I can't go
4:08
Speaker 7: downing about like a mountain. Chammois the way you do.
4:12
Speaker 5: That's a perfect day.
4:14
Speaker 6: What is more charming than the Thames on a Sunday
4:16
Speaker 6: in June, the little boats filled with the flower of
4:20
Speaker 6: the countryside, the the dainty parasols, the air addresses, the
4:24
Speaker 6: lacey petticoats or coquettish they displayed.
4:27
Speaker 4: I thought you were supposed to be a woman hater.
4:30
Speaker 6: I was admiring the scene quite impersonally wants and from
4:33
Speaker 6: the artist viewpoint, I have artistic blood in my veins,
4:36
Speaker 6: you know on my mother's signe or border dash.
4:40
Speaker 4: Hell did you hear that?
4:44
Speaker 5: Yes?
4:44
Speaker 6: It's a fat woman and the curtle bombazine of the
4:46
Speaker 6: next punt. She's managed to terrify completely, the little whispery man.
4:49
Speaker 6: Who's the escort?
4:50
Speaker 4: What you have?
4:52
Speaker 5: A doctor?
4:54
Speaker 3: You wanted to die?
4:55
Speaker 4: I'm a doctor, madam. May I be of assistance? Yes?
4:58
Speaker 3: Please please. My sister thinks she's been poisoned. I know
5:03
Speaker 3: I've been poisoned.
5:06
Speaker 4: And my tea.
5:07
Speaker 3: I just made us a nice pot of tea. It
5:10
Speaker 3: was quite all right, man. I drank some too.
5:13
Speaker 4: You know my cup wasn't all right.
5:17
Speaker 3: It tasted bitter.
5:19
Speaker 5: Then why did you drink it?
5:20
Speaker 3: I didn't.
5:22
Speaker 8: Just a mouth book. The stomach, The pain of my stomach.
5:29
Speaker 8: My next note stiff all day, the pain of my stomach.
5:35
Speaker 3: He has a the diaphragm.
5:39
Speaker 4: Contracting it.
5:40
Speaker 3: I want hot water, kettlest in halfhol I can like
5:45
Speaker 3: the spirit, lamb.
5:45
Speaker 4: We haven't tied salt? Have you some salt or mustard?
5:50
Speaker 3: We have both? Mini always brings everything.
5:53
Speaker 4: Have to give her a good e medic.
5:58
Speaker 3: I won't take it. I won't, won't, Minnie, Minni good lords.
6:11
Speaker 5: Horrible grin, the reesa sardonical I'm afraid we're too late.
6:17
Speaker 3: Oh, oh, dear, I do you wish the police or
6:38
Speaker 3: the colonel would get here? It seems so awful to
6:41
Speaker 3: leave poor Minnie stretched out in the boat. Oh that
6:45
Speaker 3: dreadful grin on her poor dead face. If only she
6:49
Speaker 3: hadn't suffered so before she died.
6:51
Speaker 5: She was very fortunate, mister, mister.
6:54
Speaker 3: Weatherby, Walter Weatherby, Minnie was my sister.
6:58
Speaker 6: Miss Weatherby was very fortunate, mister Weatherbay. She died remarkably fast,
7:02
Speaker 6: all things considered. If she'd been a younger, stronger woman,
7:05
Speaker 6: death might have been delayed for hours, even days. I
7:08
Speaker 6: take it she had high blood pressure and we can't.
7:10
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, and diabetes too. We all have it in
7:14
Speaker 3: our family, that is all. But Robert, Oh, thank heaven,
7:18
Speaker 3: she went quickly. I can't bear to see anyone suffer.
7:22
Speaker 3: I can't even bear to kill a fly. The only
7:25
Speaker 3: reason I keep that vermin killer in the potting shed
7:28
Speaker 3: is because the nasty things have been destroying my tulip bulb,
7:31
Speaker 3: don't you know.
7:32
Speaker 6: Oh so that's where the strickenine came from. What, Stryckney,
7:35
Speaker 6: the strychnine that made your sister's cup of tea taste
7:37
Speaker 6: so bitter?
7:38
Speaker 4: Of course, Holmes, that's what brought on those convulsions, Stryckney.
7:42
Speaker 5: Me. They're quite tipital, were they, Watson? But of course.
7:45
Speaker 4: Gasping for breath, protruding eyeballs, the rigidity and convulsion, remember it.
7:50
Speaker 3: They couldn't have been any strychnine in the tea. I
7:53
Speaker 3: drank four cups myself.
7:55
Speaker 6: Tell me, mister Weatherby, did your sister have anything in
7:57
Speaker 6: her tea that you didn't share?
7:59
Speaker 5: Cream, a drop of rutten, bit of mint.
8:01
Speaker 3: No, No, nothing like that. We both took it weak
8:05
Speaker 3: with a lot of milk. Oh, Minnie did have stricken
8:09
Speaker 3: in the cough, That is Zacharin nice should say. I
8:12
Speaker 3: prefer to go without sweetening myself. We aren't a loud sugar,
8:16
Speaker 3: you know, because of the diabetes sacerin. Of course, she
8:19
Speaker 3: carried the pills in a box a reticule. Oh no, sir,
8:22
Speaker 3: as she had a plain paper envelope. Here it is
8:25
Speaker 3: on the floor of the planet.
8:26
Speaker 6: Don't touch it. Don't touch it, I say, oh no, sir.
8:29
Speaker 6: Not if you say not, hand it to me. Watson
8:31
Speaker 6: with your handkerchiefs hmm empty.
8:38
Speaker 3: She used up all the pills. I guess in no
8:40
Speaker 3: wonder if she had six cups of tea. Minnie did
8:44
Speaker 3: enjoy her afternoon tea, and she did enjoy all her meals,
8:48
Speaker 3: Poor Minnie, sir.
8:50
Speaker 4: How do you count for the fact that the five
8:52
Speaker 4: previous cups were drunk without complications.
8:54
Speaker 6: Probably because only the sixth sacerin pill was poisonous and bitter.
8:58
Speaker 6: The shock of finding it poisoned to a woman with
9:00
Speaker 6: her heart that certainly helped to bring on the convulsions.
9:04
Speaker 6: It was undoubtedly pure accident that pill was saved to
9:06
Speaker 6: the last. You say your sister suffered from diabetes, mister Weatherbay,
9:11
Speaker 6: she doesn't look it.
9:12
Speaker 3: Oh, that's because my brother Robert took such good care
9:15
Speaker 3: of her. Love all of us. He gives us injections
9:18
Speaker 3: of that new drug insulin. As they discovered it last year.
9:22
Speaker 3: It does wonders for people with diabetes. Mister Holmes. My
9:26
Speaker 3: brother's been lecturing on it at all the medical schools
9:29
Speaker 3: all over England.
9:30
Speaker 4: By jove, of course your brother must be the famous
9:32
Speaker 4: doctor Robert.
9:33
Speaker 5: Weathererbay obviously Watson.
9:35
Speaker 6: Tell me, mister Weatherbay, how long have you and your
9:37
Speaker 6: sister suffered from diabetes?
9:38
Speaker 3: Oh? Only about four months. My other sister Nellie had
9:43
Speaker 3: it too. She died two months ago. She Oh dear,
9:48
Speaker 3: poor Nelly, she was really my favorite.
9:51
Speaker 4: You know who are gone for the incident to doless
9:53
Speaker 4: good I suppose.
9:54
Speaker 3: Oh no, sir, We none of us had any symptoms
9:57
Speaker 3: of diabetes before last year. I didn't have my dizzy spells,
10:02
Speaker 3: of course, but we never thought it was anything like that.
10:06
Speaker 3: Oh no, Thank heaven, insulin were discovered in time for us.
10:11
Speaker 3: Not that it seems to have saved Mini or Nellie either, But.
10:15
Speaker 4: Surely you must realize that your sister didn't die of
10:17
Speaker 4: a diabetic seizure, mister Weatherby.
10:19
Speaker 3: Oh no, Minnie went the same way as Nellie went
10:22
Speaker 3: of poison. Only I didn't do it.
10:27
Speaker 4: You must believe me. I didn't do it, I say, Holmes.
10:31
Speaker 4: Here comes a boat. It's turning in here.
10:36
Speaker 5: Yes, it's the police launch.
10:40
Speaker 3: Thank heaven for that. I thought they'd never get here.
10:47
Speaker 1: Oh well in a murder.
10:53
Speaker 6: Well well, if it isn't our old friend the bellowing
10:55
Speaker 6: Beagle of Scotland Yard inspect of astrade himself. Welcome the
11:05
Speaker 6: strand welcome aboard. We have quite a cargo for you
11:08
Speaker 6: to inspect her.
11:10
Speaker 4: Well, oh in hundred to get here.
11:14
Speaker 6: I am a burd of illumen, Thestran. I'm attracted to
11:17
Speaker 6: a crime like a bulcher to carry.
11:18
Speaker 4: On these really.
11:19
Speaker 6: Yeah, so you admit it is a crime, a murder lastrd,
11:23
Speaker 6: a beautifully staged little murder.
11:25
Speaker 4: But look here, I didn't do it. I'm innocent.
11:29
Speaker 3: I wouldn't hurt a fly.
11:31
Speaker 9: Oh so it's mister Walter Weatherby again. And I suppose
11:36
Speaker 9: this is another sister you've done away with so you
11:39
Speaker 9: could inherit her share of the weather be bills.
11:41
Speaker 3: You know I didn't do it. I didn't hurt Nelly either,
11:45
Speaker 3: I swear I didn't.
11:46
Speaker 5: I know you have slipped through our fingers. The last time.
11:49
Speaker 9: We had our suspicions right enough, but we couldn't prove anything.
11:53
Speaker 5: The jury thought you looked so meek and.
11:54
Speaker 9: Mild, butter wouldn't melt in your mouth.
11:56
Speaker 5: So they brought in a.
11:58
Speaker 9: Verdict of suicide, and the poison was found in her
12:02
Speaker 9: cough medicine that time, which poisoned the strand strictly in homes.
12:05
Speaker 9: What else gives people convulsions like the woman just had here?
12:08
Speaker 9: They tell me this chap's got a partty. She had
12:11
Speaker 9: a vermin killer, all full of stryckney.
12:14
Speaker 3: But I've kept it locked up ever since Nelly killed herself.
12:18
Speaker 4: I carry the.
12:18
Speaker 10: Key with me.
12:19
Speaker 4: Hmm.
12:20
Speaker 9: Interestingly, we don't need any of your fancy deductions this time, homes.
12:24
Speaker 9: This time he caught him red ended. There was no
12:26
Speaker 9: one in the boat but him and his sister. He
12:28
Speaker 9: gave her a cup of tea, and it killed her.
12:30
Speaker 6: He gave her six cups of tea, Lestrade, Only the
12:33
Speaker 6: last one seems to have contained anything suspicious. Then it
12:36
Speaker 6: is on top of the hamper and still seequat is fully.
12:40
Speaker 5: I'm surprised you didn't empty it out.
12:41
Speaker 6: I never tamper with clues, Lestrade. I mary point them out.
12:44
Speaker 6: It's up to you to draw your own conclusion.
12:46
Speaker 9: I don't worry. I've done that already. It's weather be
12:49
Speaker 9: chaps guilty and he won't we go out.
12:51
Speaker 5: Of it this time?
12:53
Speaker 6: By the way, the strand what do you make of
12:55
Speaker 6: a wool scarf wrapped around the victim's neck. It's a
12:58
Speaker 6: hot day, but is wearing a purple scarff?
13:02
Speaker 5: Next?
13:02
Speaker 9: As a version, tell me she wasn't poisoned, she was strangled.
13:05
Speaker 3: Oh no, I wouldn't. I mean, I'm not strong enough.
13:10
Speaker 3: Minnie was suffering from a stiff nick. It came on
13:12
Speaker 3: this morning. Robert suggested that I'd take her out on
13:15
Speaker 3: the river to see if the sun would make it out.
13:18
Speaker 6: Nevertheless, the scarf is significantly starred, and the violent contractions
13:21
Speaker 6: of the diaphragm. Don't forget those. I suggest you have
13:24
Speaker 6: your best surgeon to form the autopsy.
13:26
Speaker 9: We won't need any autopsy if we find stryctine in
13:29
Speaker 9: a teacup.
13:29
Speaker 5: Oh you'll find strycteine l stard. Never fear.
13:32
Speaker 11: What makes you so sure? I tasted it? You know
13:37
Speaker 11: I tasted it.

15:59

16:00
Speaker 4: I might have known. It was your insatiable first for
16:02
Speaker 4: information that brought you, not your humane instincts of all
16:06
Speaker 4: the code.
16:06
Speaker 5: That is quiet Watson.
16:07
Speaker 3: Someone's coming, mister Holmes and doctor Watson.
16:12
Speaker 5: Quite, the doctor will see you now a step as
16:15
Speaker 5: quite please.
16:16
Speaker 4: Thank you after you host this was your idea?
16:24
Speaker 10: Well, well, mister Sherlock Holmes, this is indeed an honor
16:28
Speaker 10: I am indeed grateful for your efforts on my poor
16:31
Speaker 10: sister's behalf.
16:32
Speaker 6: My colleague, doctor Watson, was the physician on the case,
16:34
Speaker 6: Doctor Weatherby.
16:35
Speaker 4: Well, that is everything possible was done, you understand. I
16:39
Speaker 4: can't begin to express my regrets.
16:41
Speaker 10: Oh please, don't blame yourself, doctor, I couldn't have done
16:44
Speaker 10: more for her myself. I'm sure an overdose of stricknean
16:47
Speaker 10: is so violent and so suddenly, don't you know?
16:51
Speaker 5: Then me autopsy showed stricknean.
16:52
Speaker 10: There was no autopsy necessary, mister Holmes. The contents of
16:56
Speaker 10: the teacup proved the case. And then, of course when
16:59
Speaker 10: my brother confess, confessed, Yes, it seems he had one
17:03
Speaker 10: of his dizzy spells while my sister was drinking her
17:05
Speaker 10: tea and lay down in the boat for a moment.
17:08
Speaker 10: He must have been unconscious for several moments. At least
17:11
Speaker 10: he doesn't seem to remember what happened during that length
17:13
Speaker 10: of time.
17:14
Speaker 4: Of course, a trance, some nambubilistic He must have administered
17:18
Speaker 4: the poison while in a semi conscious condition.
17:21
Speaker 10: Yes, poor Walter, I've always known he subconsciously resented both
17:26
Speaker 10: his sisters. They were so big and robust, Walter was
17:30
Speaker 10: always rather frail. I suppose I should have had him
17:33
Speaker 10: committed after Nelly's death. That well, somehow I couldn't persuade
17:37
Speaker 10: myself that he was really dangerous.
17:39
Speaker 6: I see, would it shot you very much, doctor Weatherby,
17:43
Speaker 6: if I were to assure you that your brother did
17:45
Speaker 6: not kill either.
17:46
Speaker 10: Of his sisters. But mister Holmes, the evidence the death
17:50
Speaker 10: struggle indicated strict name. A strict name was found in
17:53
Speaker 10: the tea cup. He was the only person with her
17:54
Speaker 10: all afternoon, and then his confession. You can't get around that.
17:58
Speaker 6: I imagine your brother Walter takes rather easily to any
18:01
Speaker 6: form of suggestion. D to Weatherbay with your permission, I
18:04
Speaker 6: should like to have a talk with him. He's in
18:05
Speaker 6: both steak jail. I understander, that's correct, mister Holmes.
18:08
Speaker 10: But I'm afraid you must postpone your interview until later
18:11
Speaker 10: in the day and he's had time to recover from
18:13
Speaker 10: his insulin injection.
18:14
Speaker 5: He's already handed.
18:14
Speaker 10: But no, as a matter of fact, I was just
18:16
Speaker 10: about to go around to the jail and.
18:17
Speaker 5: Give it to him. Splendid. We'll go with you.
18:19
Speaker 6: Doctor Watson is particularly anxious to learn this new technique
18:22
Speaker 6: of administering insulin.
18:24
Speaker 10: Some other time I shall be delighted.
18:26
Speaker 5: What better time than the present.
18:27
Speaker 6: We promise not to discuss your sister's murder, Dr Weatherby,
18:33
Speaker 6: but I understand that is Scotland Yard is in charge
18:37
Speaker 6: of the case.
18:38
Speaker 10: Would they permit interference?
18:41
Speaker 6: Scotland Yard has learned it's always wise to allow me
18:44
Speaker 6: to interfere.
18:44
Speaker 5: Dr Weatherbay.
18:46
Speaker 6: It so frequently saves them from making fools of themselves.
19:07
Speaker 5: This way, gentlemen, please any wait a moment I unlock yourself.
19:20
Speaker 5: It being's hard. Please, gentlemen, thank you.
19:27
Speaker 6: Well, Walter, we've come to see you. You remember us,
19:32
Speaker 6: mister Holmes and doctor Watson.
19:34
Speaker 3: Oh, oh, Robert, Robert. I didn't think you'd ever want
19:40
Speaker 3: to speak to me again. And these kind of gentlemen, Robert,
19:43
Speaker 3: and they did all that they could.
19:44
Speaker 5: Robert.
19:45
Speaker 3: It was too horrible the way she died. Oh, but
19:50
Speaker 3: how good. I My mind is all blurry, but everything
19:54
Speaker 3: is all.
19:55
Speaker 4: Confused, and that's because you haven't had your incident.
19:57
Speaker 10: That's right, Walter. You just wait till I pick be hypodermic.
20:01
Speaker 10: You'll feel better in no time after your injection. Just
20:04
Speaker 10: sit down, Walter, roll up your sleep.
20:06
Speaker 5: Well, quite a little party we're having here this morning.
20:10
Speaker 6: He told me you crashed in again, morning, Lustrade. Well,
20:13
Speaker 6: if it's against the regulations, inspector mustrade. I mean it
20:17
Speaker 6: was his idea, not mine.
20:18
Speaker 9: He shourled, write all right, Doctor Weatherby Scotland Yard grumbles
20:21
Speaker 9: a good deal about shirlick Olms his interference. But we
20:24
Speaker 9: found out it sometimes a good idea to let him
20:28
Speaker 9: raise many thanks, Lestrade.
20:30
Speaker 6: As a matter of fact, you came just in time.
20:32
Speaker 6: We are about to witness a very interesting demonstration.
20:37
Speaker 10: An injection of insulin isn't as drastic as all leethmostomes.
20:41
Speaker 10: In a few years, thousands of people will be getting
20:44
Speaker 10: into them daily, injecting it themselves in all probability.
20:48
Speaker 5: Ow hold out your arm water.
20:50
Speaker 6: Then it's really quite harmless, I mean, even to a
20:52
Speaker 6: person not suffering from diabetes.
20:54
Speaker 10: Oh yes, yes, it might accelerate the rate of metabolism
20:57
Speaker 10: slightly for a time, but nothing to worry about.
20:59
Speaker 6: Then Nelly's death and Minnie's death couldn't possibly have been
21:03
Speaker 6: caused by the injection you gave each of them the
21:05
Speaker 6: morning of the day in which they died.
21:07
Speaker 10: Quick lord, No, what a fantastic idea is.
21:09
Speaker 5: So fantastic, Doctor Webby.
21:12
Speaker 6: I am quite convinced that neither Mini nor your brother
21:15
Speaker 6: here suffer from diabetes.
21:17
Speaker 5: Your sister, Nelly I didn't see.
21:18
Speaker 6: Unfortunately, dear mister Holmes, without a blood test, how could
21:21
Speaker 6: you possibly tell? I had the eye of the trained diagnostician,
21:23
Speaker 6: Doctor Webby, the tone of the skin was too healthy,
21:26
Speaker 6: particularly in Minnie's case. No, I suggest you were giving
21:30
Speaker 6: your brother and sister injections, but are much more sinister.
21:33
Speaker 10: Reason, doctor, but that's preposterous. Even if they proved not
21:36
Speaker 10: to be diabetic, intil an injections wouldn't harm them.
21:39
Speaker 6: I grant you all. But the final injections were harmless,
21:41
Speaker 6: Doctor nonsense. My sister certainly didn't die for any injections.
21:44
Speaker 5: I gave them.
21:45
Speaker 6: Death in both cases was later, much later. Your positive
21:48
Speaker 6: those injections were harmless. Positive, you wouldn't care to prove
21:53
Speaker 6: it by giving yourself the injection you've just prepared for
21:57
Speaker 6: your brother.
21:57
Speaker 5: Why, I guess it?
21:59
Speaker 6: That is if I do, I won't be able to
22:01
Speaker 6: give him his nose. Only have one with me. As
22:03
Speaker 6: you can see, water is near collapse. I won't be
22:06
Speaker 6: responsible if he doesn't get his insulin. I prepare for
22:08
Speaker 6: that emergency. Doctor Watson's brought along a small amount of
22:10
Speaker 6: the drug. I'm sure it'll suffice, But what the fuck?
22:13
Speaker 6: This is really too ridiculous.
22:14
Speaker 5: Well, now, I'm not so sure. You say it won't
22:18
Speaker 5: urt you to take that incident, go ahead and take it.
22:22
Speaker 6: I now don't sound silly, but I've never had the
22:25
Speaker 6: nerve to give myself an injection.
22:26
Speaker 4: Oh, I'd be happy to oblige.
22:27
Speaker 5: No, no, Watson, let me.
22:28
Speaker 6: I'm quite good at it, and I don't want any
22:31
Speaker 6: accidents with the contents of that hypodemic.
22:35
Speaker 13: Now, then give it to me. Give it to me,
22:39
Speaker 13: I say, no, you can't make me. You can't stand that.
22:43
Speaker 13: Don't anyone touch that broken hypodemic or the fluid it contained?
22:46
Speaker 13: Good lord, why not?
22:48
Speaker 5: Unless I'm very much mistaken.
22:50
Speaker 6: It's a particularly deadly culture of tetanus bacteria. I'll just
22:55
Speaker 6: take a sample carefully between these glass lights. Now, Lestrande,
23:03
Speaker 6: if you'll tell the guard to bring the strongest carpolic
23:05
Speaker 6: acid you can find, I'd say we'll have this case
23:08
Speaker 6: just about washed up.
23:21
Speaker 1: A nice fellow, that Robert Weatherby turned out to be
23:24
Speaker 1: a doctor Watson. But look quite the strict mean in
23:26
Speaker 1: the first sister's cough medicine and the second sister's teak up.
23:30
Speaker 4: Because the symptoms of tetanus poisoning and strychnine poisoning are
23:33
Speaker 4: so remarkably similar, Tetanus takes much longer, of course, to develop.
23:38
Speaker 4: Robert could be sure of being at a safe distance when.
23:41
Speaker 5: The defica diabolical.
23:43
Speaker 4: I'd say, yes, Holmes suspected tetanus when he heard of
23:46
Speaker 4: Minnie's stiff neck. And notice the complexion of the sone
23:50
Speaker 4: of plexus. Those symptoms do not occur in stricting poisoning.
23:55
Speaker 4: Of course I should have noticed them too, But what
23:57
Speaker 4: with the presence of strickton in the cup? So easy
24:00
Speaker 4: to jump to the wrong conclusions, which is what Robert
24:03
Speaker 4: Weatherby had counted on.
24:04
Speaker 1: But again, why did doctor der Weatherby plant the stryct name.
24:07
Speaker 4: To implicate his brother, who was known to have a
24:10
Speaker 4: quantity in his position?
24:11
Speaker 1: Nothing like killing off the whole family in one fell swoop.
24:14
Speaker 4: Yes, and he would probably have gotten away with it
24:16
Speaker 4: if Sherlock Holmes hadn't happened along
