  Speaker 1: And now let's look in on our old friend, doctor Watson.

• 0:07
  Speaker 3: Good evening, Docers, good evening, mister Buckell, throw up your
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: usual chair. I'll get on with the night's new Sherlock
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: Holmes adventure.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Well, how did the story begin, Docan?
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: It was one day in the autumn of eighteen hundred
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: and eighty seven, I remember, Holmes, and I was seated
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: on either side of the fire in our Baker Street
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: lodging the great man, his eyes half closed, his long,
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: thin fingers pressed together, laid back in his chair, filling
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: the room with large blue clouds of tobacco's smoke, and
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: discussing on one of his favorite subjects.
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: Professor money Artist. I can almost hear him now, mister
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: buck tell as.
• 0:43
  Speaker 5: He said, crime Watson is the organizer of half that
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: is evil and nearly all.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: That is undetected in this great metropolis.
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: Who surely that's an exaggeration.
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: There's a brain of the first order, and his agents
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: are numerus and splendidly organized. He himself sits mostionless like
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: spider in the center of his web. But that web,
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: there's a thousand radiations, and he knows every quiver of
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: each one of them, and it's fortunate for me that
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: there's only one money at it. If every criminal were
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: equally as cute, I've been bankruptcy within the year.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: I don't think you.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Need to worry about bankruptcy homes as I came in

• 1:33
  Speaker 5: of my services.

• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Oh listen to this, Watson.
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: I seen you yesterday when you come to that cricket match.
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: You wasn't watching the cricket. If you value your life,
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: keep your filthy long nose to yourself and its signed.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Joe the Butcher.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: Joe the Butcher, I about a.

  Speaker 5: Criminal that I was instrumental in sending to prison for
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: sure term, that is himself. Though I was watching the cricket.

• 2:32
  Speaker 1: What's not for love?
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we were talking of Mariatti just now. I have
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: a feeling that this letter may.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Lead us to him.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: What makes you say that?
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: France? Why do you like?
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: The writer of this letter is recognized in France as
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: the one indisputable authority on the paintings of Jean Baptiste
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: gurz Well.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: I still don't see the connection with Mariatti.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: If there is one thing Mariatti loves more than the
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: dazzling abstractions of mathematics.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: And even more dazzling achievements of crime, it is the
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: paintings of girls.
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: The suggestive combination of been any danger and it grows
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: experts spells Mariati to need. Can get your hat and

  Speaker 1: his room. Uh huh, he's the other night disipated. Come on,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: let's go in.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: It doesn't look as if anyone's occupying this froom.

  Speaker 1: We're too late. Come on, do no more good here
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: if you're not giving up home. No, of course not. Hello.
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: Let's see what we can find out from Mitchel manager
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: and refuse to believe that in the nineteenth century a
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: distinguished foreigner can vanish into thin air.
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: Yes, Monsieur de Luc did have a visitor early on today.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Mister Holmes, you remember his name? I think it was
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Perkins or Parsons. Of that, I'm not sure. Can you
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: describe his appearance? I think so, mister Holmes.
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: He was a very tall gentleman, tall and thin, with
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: deep sunk eyes, thing shaven.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes, sir.
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: He had a high forhead and a free way of
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: moving his head from side to side.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: Johns, that's almost an exact description of my.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Ch Jackie Watson.
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: Have you seen Monsieur de Lax since this mister Perkins
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: or Parsons called on him.
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: No, I haven't, sir. But his visitor came back only
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: an hour ago. He had some men with him. They
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: carried some mode packages out of hot packages, but not luggage, eh,
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: no packages.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Mister Holmes, has.
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: Misieur de Lac received any other visitors since he arrived
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: here and that had been here to see him, sir?
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: But I understand that Sir Henry Davenant has been most
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: anxious to get in touch with him.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Sir Henry Davenant, thank you. I'm extremely obliged to you.
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: Come on, Watson, always proud to be of service to
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: mister Sherlock Holmes. The plot begins to clear, Watson, what
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: makes you say that Sir Henry Davenant is a millionaire
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: whose art collection is world famous.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Here a goo. The papers were full of his latest.
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: Acquisition, the gem of his collection, Jean Baptiste Kurz painting
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: Young Girl with the Gazelle.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: And now it would appear that.
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: For some reason Mariarty wish is to prevent a meeting
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: between Sir Harry Davenant mister du Lac, a GIRs expert.
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: Now do you see why the plot begins to clear?
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: What are you going to do?
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Dabon? I said to the not permit you.
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: Won't have anything to do with officials, interviewers and people
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: like that. But we know that he wishes to consult
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: an expert on the paintings of Jean doctor Spurs.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: The next move should be obvious. Hold pass me.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: You mean that you'll impersonate one.
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: Certainly, if a gross expert is what he wants, then
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: a gross expert is what he's going to get.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: I must say, your disguises is amazingly affect you.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: You give me the great honor if I appear convincing
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: to the astute Dr Watson. How can I fail to
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: convince pulling the good chevyaza to Henry's house and that's
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: her for the best, Old Collon.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: I don't know exactly what the French art expert looks like.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: I could certain believe you.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: I only hope that I can quite convincing in the
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: role of a patron of the art.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Certainly look aparo jack the afternoon, can.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: I hope you?
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: My name is Verne andre Bne and most anxious to
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: make the affingrums of Sir Henry Denn. I'm afraid that
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: Sir Henry is extremely difficult to see her. I can
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: tell him you're ear, but he very rarely gives interviews.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: That is a great disappointment to me. Perhaps you would.
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: Just go and tell him a pupil of anti discipling
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: of the great Concis Dulia.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I will do what I can, Sir, come in, won't you?
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: Gentlemen? If you're wait here for a moment, I'll take
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: your message. But what was the name Againne Andre Ernie,
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: and this gentleman is mister Watson.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Very good, sir, Well we got into the house.
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: Now let's hope that you can impress the master of it.
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: As easy a taskape here I have the match opinions
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: on the paintings of hers with an expert.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Your knowledge of the subject is someone's sketchy on mine
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: is absolutely milk.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: Heirs was a naturalistic painter who punished at the close
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: of the eighteenth century, and there his painting his command
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: of fabulous fee in this day and age.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: He himself died in great poverty.
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: Someone's coming, Will you and mister Watson come with me?
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: Henry's most anxious to lead you, see, mademoiselle, my name
• 8:22
  Speaker 7: is Vallette Jackson. I look after Sir Henry's art collection.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: Indeed a very pleasurable job. I'm sure, my dear, from
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: what I hear, he has a magnificent gallery.
• 8:30
  Speaker 7: He has one of the finest in the world. His
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: latest acquisition is the famous young girl with the bizill
• 8:35
  Speaker 7: like birds. However, I'm sure you know all about that,
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: Monsieur Verne. I think you said in your message you
• 8:41
  Speaker 7: were a student.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Of the great Tula. I have that inestimable privilege. This
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: is a Henry study.
• 8:51
  Speaker 8: Oh, thank you about it? You may go, Yes, Henry,
• 8:55
  Speaker 8: you're the ernie, I'm sure.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: And this is mister Watson to Hena Saverne is staying
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: with me?
• 9:02
  Speaker 8: I see, well, sit down, won't you look? You're a
• 9:06
  Speaker 8: friend of Dolus, an't you? I think I may claim
• 9:09
  Speaker 8: that on earth? Miss whyant thunder? Can't I get in
• 9:11
  Speaker 8: touch with him? He's staying at the Carlton Hotel, isn't he.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: He was or has been staying there? Next year me.
• 9:18
  Speaker 8: I've left half a dozen messages. Boy, I'm asking him
• 9:20
  Speaker 8: to come and see me, and he hasn't answered one
• 9:23
  Speaker 8: of them. I can't understand it. It's most important that
• 9:25
  Speaker 8: I see Monsieur is in some trouble. Perhaps perhaps now
• 9:29
  Speaker 8: you fellows are familiar with the painting by girls, the
• 9:32
  Speaker 8: young lady with the gazelle, aren't you?
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: Oh yes, Henry, Yes, indeed you are.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: What do you think of it?
• 9:39
  Speaker 9: One of the greatest in my humble beion this year?
• 9:43
  Speaker 9: Of course, I have only seen a pay production, but
• 9:46
  Speaker 9: it seemed to me to have I questions. Have we
• 9:48
  Speaker 9: got off the flesh and say, great Fermi's hunt, brilliance
• 9:51
  Speaker 9: of line? You are indeed the fortunate to own it, Missieu.
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: Don't know how fortunate cost me for pounds?
• 9:58
  Speaker 9: I still say you are both fortunate miss, ye, would
• 10:01
  Speaker 9: you get me the honor of to examine your regiment?
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know whether I ought to.
• 10:06
  Speaker 8: I've had reguarded very carefully ever since this, but perhaps
• 10:11
  Speaker 8: in your case I can make an exception.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: You will see freends regarding the paintings to Henry.
• 10:15
  Speaker 8: Yes, I have, mister Watson, and they worried miss so
• 10:17
  Speaker 8: much that I've even thought of engaging the services of.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: A private detective. Are very incouraging, so the Duke of Carlyle.
• 10:24
  Speaker 8: Strongly recommended a fellow by the name of Sherlock Holmes.
• 10:28
  Speaker 8: I was seriously thinking of going to him instead of
• 10:31
  Speaker 8: which he has come to you, Sir Henry, and in
• 10:33
  Speaker 8: fact it will save us all a lot of time.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: I'm sure what kind of horse pay is this? Who
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: the devil are you? Nine name is Sherlock Holm?
• 10:39
  Speaker 8: Then why do you come here masquerading as a French artics.
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: Because I'd heard of your aversion to giving interviewers and
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: I wanted to see you urgently. I hope that in
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: the character of a supposed greer's expert, I was most
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: likely again immediate admission.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Well, then your friend here, doctor Watson, my colleague.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: Well it's all turned out for the best, Henry. You
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: wanted to consult mister Holmes, and he was most eagulous
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: to see you.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he is.
• 11:02
  Speaker 8: Well, I'm there, You fellows are here. You see, I'm
• 11:05
  Speaker 8: devilish worried about that girls of mine. Oh why, sir, Henry, Well,
• 11:08
  Speaker 8: I thought it was an auction. There was another man
• 11:10
  Speaker 8: bidding against me all the time, and when he was
• 11:13
  Speaker 8: finally knock down in my name, he became most insulting.
• 11:16
  Speaker 8: He seemed unable to bear not owning the picture himself.
• 11:20
  Speaker 8: He told me bluntly that I wouldn't enjoy it long.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: I didn't think much about it.
• 11:25
  Speaker 8: At the time, but lately I've been receiving postcards repeating
• 11:28
  Speaker 8: the threat. I don't like it, that's a fact.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: Well you've kept the postcards, I hope to Henry.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: No, throw them in the power where they belong. Can
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: you recall the name of this bitter at the auction
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: who threatened you? No, I didn't know his name. Can
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: you describe his appearance?
• 11:43
  Speaker 8: Well, let me see. He was the tall king, shaven,
• 11:47
  Speaker 8: I'm a curious habit of moving his head from side
• 11:50
  Speaker 8: to side.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: Again.
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, o chat, My supposition was correct, and TONI, Sir Henry,
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: the paintings safely guarded, Well, i'd say that it was
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: impregnable homes, It's.
• 11:59
  Speaker 8: Not in my regular galleries. I had a special strong
• 12:02
  Speaker 8: room built fort when I started to receive these threats.
• 12:05
  Speaker 8: It has a lot which only I know the combination,
• 12:08
  Speaker 8: and a special clockwork device that so controls the room
• 12:11
  Speaker 8: that even I can only enter it there during certain
• 12:14
  Speaker 8: daytime on.
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: And yet, Sir Henry, with such thorough precautions, you appear
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: to be frightened.
• 12:18
  Speaker 8: Why I hardly dare trust my own shadow home. As
• 12:22
  Speaker 8: you possibly know, one of Gurz's pupils, a certain Madame Ladoux,
• 12:26
  Speaker 8: imitated his paintings most successfully.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Several of the experts were. I confess that.
• 12:32
  Speaker 8: I've been frightened lately since I've received the threat that
• 12:35
  Speaker 8: a clever man might try and substitute a fake painting
• 12:39
  Speaker 8: for the original, if indeed he hasn't already done so.
• 12:43
  Speaker 8: That's why I was so anxious to get in touch
• 12:45
  Speaker 8: with Delight. He'd know a fraud at once.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: A substitution would be impossible if you're the only one
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: that knows the combination.
• 12:51
  Speaker 8: To the luck of the strong room, well, that's what
• 12:53
  Speaker 8: my logic tells me to doctor. Yet I'm very uneasy
• 12:57
  Speaker 8: and not confessed.
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: It's still daylight, Sir Henry. Would it be possible for
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: us examine the painting now?
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Certain?
• 13:02
  Speaker 8: By the way, what happened to Dela? Did he leave
• 13:06
  Speaker 8: the cottonertel?
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: He did in the circumstances of his departure.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Easier?
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: In what way?
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: His room was empty with no signs of luggage? And yet.
• 13:17
  Speaker 8: Then that's vallot?
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: What is it.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: I who left the ballot?
• 13:26
  Speaker 8: Did he give his name to Henry?
• 13:28
  Speaker 7: That he was a tall, thin man with deep sun Guys?
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: What the note saying? Right? It's the same fellow again.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Listen to this.
• 13:38
  Speaker 8: I told you you wouldn't enjoy the painting for long?
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: You didn't.
• 13:43
  Speaker 8: Did you got.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Arms?
• 13:46
  Speaker 8: I don't say anything funny about this.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: What makes you laugh? It's obvious that my painting has
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: been stolen. I find nothing funny about it either, Sir Henry.
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: But I must admit a certain pleasure. Once again, I'm
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: crossing swords with an adversary who was.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: More than worthy of my steel.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: You'll hear the rest of doctor Watson's story in just
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: a second. So I'm just going to remind you that
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Petree sherry could really be called the all round all
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: American wine. That's right, Petrie California sherff. Now, the reason
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: I say that is because Petrie sherry is not only
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: a swell before dinner wine, but it's a perfect wine
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: for almost any acasion when company drops in, Sir, Petrie
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: sherry after dinner, when you're just sitting around chatting. Petrie
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: sherry again is just right. Believe me, you couldn't ask
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: for a better all round wine than sherry. You couldn't
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: ask for a better tasting sherry than Petrie pet Tree sherry. Well,
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: doctor Watson, you kept me on the edge of my
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: chair so far with your story.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: What happened next?
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Did Sir Henry Davenan take you to see his famous.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: Thing to give her?
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: With mister vonnic Jackson, we descended conscious fight to chairs,
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: doors open where no one expected the door to exist. Finally,
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: after walking down a narrow stone stacks that turned and twisted,
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: we came up against a blank wall. It seemed that
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: we could go no further at a time, cluck, a
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: combination of numbers and a hidden door slid back.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: We stood in the interior of a small room, A
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: room with no windows, hardly any light. Loyal painting stood
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: on an ease for the pot.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: It was incomparable girls painting for the young girl with
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: the gazelle.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: We stood looking at it for a brief moment, and then.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Heavenly painting is still safe, Yes, sir Henry, if it
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: still is the same painting.
• 15:45
  Speaker 7: It looks the same, mister Holm.
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: That it is to me that commands that only at
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: once one you like to tell us if it is
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: the same or a brilliant copy, Yes, moeur, you like
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: to have been silent, it would seem, of course, we
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: asked the experts of the British Museum to past judgment.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: But how could it have been stolen?
• 16:04
  Speaker 8: It'd be impossible to smuggle it out of here, Henry,
• 16:06
  Speaker 8: place it with a copy.
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: There's only one way of being absolutely certain. With your permission,
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: Sir Henry, I should.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Like to make a test.
• 16:11
  Speaker 7: You're going to take a sample of the paint, mister
• 16:13
  Speaker 7: her Yes, that should give a certain proof.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Well, very well, then, yeah, you'd better do it by
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: but be careful.
• 16:20
  Speaker 8: Remember the painting cost me forty thousand pounds.
• 16:22
  Speaker 7: My new fragment of paint would be sufficient for the
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: test with my fingernails for Henry, I'll stretch off a
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: tiny sample.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: I've got to work.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Hey you, amster home?
• 16:35
  Speaker 8: Is that enough?
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Splender with Jackson splendid? Thank you. He's putting on this
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: envelope for me, you know. And that's it?
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: And how, sir, Henry, I shall return to Bake Street
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: and analyze this paint. But then how and I should
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: be able to tell you whether the painting is worth
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: forty thousand pounds or a plug party?
• 17:04
  Speaker 8: Well, well, Holmes, did you make the test?
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: I did, say Henry, I'm afraid there's no doubt for
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: your painting. Sample of PAINK Knight examined. It was a
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: manufactured not more than twenty five years ago, and Gres
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: died in eighteen hundred and five.
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: Well, I still say that if the fine painting, whoever
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: did it?
• 17:23
  Speaker 7: I agreed doctor Watson. In fact, I'll be glad to
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: buy it. It's a brilliant copy, and more than likely
• 17:29
  Speaker 7: it was done by Madame Ludou.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: You're remarkably quat, say Henry, for.
• 17:33
  Speaker 8: Ten thousand pounds.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: Forty thousand non announcer, put that knife down, homes help
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: me grab him.
• 17:41
  Speaker 8: I don't want to gentlemen, I know that, which still
• 17:43
  Speaker 8: I didn't despair, and that's what you're thinking.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Now, Why are you grasping that knife, sir?
• 17:47
  Speaker 8: Because I have work to do in my tunge room.
• 17:50
  Speaker 8: I'm going to use this knife to slash that lying
• 17:53
  Speaker 8: canvas into forty thousand pieces.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: As well.
• 18:10
  Speaker 8: I suppose you're right, Violet's childish to mutilate this door.
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: But it's a brilliant broad to Henry, I'd like to
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: have it. I'll buy it from you, gladly buy it
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: from me. You can have it, go and make arrangements
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: that have the wretched thing taken away at once. I
• 18:25
  Speaker 7: don't wonder any frauds in my collection. Thank you now,
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: mister Sherlock Holmes.
• 18:31
  Speaker 8: I'll pay you any you name if you can tell
• 18:34
  Speaker 8: me how the original painting was stolen.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Well, Sir Henry, they how must here perceive the who?
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: And how I must have bees? Seems impossible.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: I agree. This is the sealed metal room. The only
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: entrances to the door that has a combination that only
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: you know, sir, Henry.
• 18:51
  Speaker 8: True, it's impossible for anyone to enter this room without
• 18:54
  Speaker 8: my being present, or I would have sworn.
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: It was examined these words. But uh huh then later,
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: oh method of entrance here.
• 19:09
  Speaker 8: Well, you'll find no flaws. I'm sure this room is
• 19:13
  Speaker 8: built like a giant stick, and the time lock on
• 19:16
  Speaker 8: the door is equally solid.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: The time lock working now.
• 19:19
  Speaker 8: Yes, it started five minutes ago when we opened the door.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: But don't worry.
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: It's fasanily safe with the door open, and.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: When the doors closed it couldn't be reopened again. I
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: take it to her, not.
• 19:28
  Speaker 8: Until the morning, doctor, No. I had the lock specially
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: design and engineers.
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: This presents us pretty a problem as ever, I've tackled,
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: Sir Henry, a large painting stolen and a thick one substituted,
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: and a seal room to.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Which only you have access.
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: Must confess the house seems utterly impossible.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: Remember what you always say home, throughout the impossible and
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the possible.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Man. Let's consider the who for a moment. Is your butler?
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Absolutely reliable? Absolutely? How about this? You?
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: Completely trustworthy? Brought letters of recommendation from most of the
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: leading art galleries in London.
• 20:06
  Speaker 8: Intelligent too and serious minded. She's made a deep stelling
• 20:11
  Speaker 8: it mathematics as well as her knowledge of painting mathematics.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: How do you know that's Henry had a book.
• 20:18
  Speaker 8: With her the other day. How surprised as the title
• 20:21
  Speaker 8: could have been a novel, but no, it was called
• 20:24
  Speaker 8: The Dynamics of an Asteroid and it was inscribed to
• 20:27
  Speaker 8: her by the author and an Asteroid.
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: And inscribed to her by the author. Thank Heavens to
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: be your memories, Henry.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: That book was written by Professor Mariatti. On it Jackson
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: must be accompassed his.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: Doort.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Yes, and it's not very hard to guess who that
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: someone is. I can't believe that.
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: There's a note being pushed under the door.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Strike a naturally overlo.
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: What to say home.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: For give my n lady like eaves.
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: Dropping, But with mister Sherlock Holmes as near the truth
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: as he is, I'm afraid it would be unwise for
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: me to remain here any longer. On the other hand,
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: you are in no danger of smothering in the strong rum,
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: but your imprisonment should delay my pursuit till morning. By
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: the Jackson, he's a scaped as Holmes Down't worry Watson.
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: Jackson's failure to procure the painting for Mariati will lander
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: and a far worse dilemma than anything weak subject her to.
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: Maniati has never tolerated failure on the part of his minions.
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: A brilliant pot, a brilliant plot. Aniati is the senest
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: of his powers. How fortunate that we were able to
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: foil him?
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Do you mean foil him? My painting's been stolen? Are paintings?
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, no, it's a it's here in
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: this room.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: What on earth are you talking about?
• 21:45
  Speaker 8: Home?
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: You reminded me of my own dictim Watson. I discarded
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: the impossible.
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: It was impossible that the picture had been stolen, therefore
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: it had not been stolen.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: You mean that this painting is the original gridlessness of Corca.
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: Surely the plot is crystal clear, now just about a
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: clear's porridge to me. Well, then let's explained the whole
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: episode of France. White du Lac pronote to be the
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: emphl room, and the significant bloodstains and the apparent disappearance
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: of du Lac were all part of Mariati's blood. The
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: real newc never left France. Mariatti created him in England to.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Lure me into the case.
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: Why and thunder should he want to do that home.
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: Yes, I should think you're the last person he'd want
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: on the scene on the country. He knew that I
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: grabbed at his bait, the apparent murder, a Kurz expert
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: who would make it seem likely that your painting had
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: a substitute, Sir Henry.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: He wanted me to test the beating, which I did.
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: I fell into his trap for any clay the paint homes.
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: You said that it was no more than twenty years old.
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: Yes, my dear fellow, the answer should be obvious.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: I see it.
• 22:48
  Speaker 8: Violet was his accomplass had prepared the painting beforehand and
• 22:52
  Speaker 8: carefully straked off a piece of muddern.
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: Paint, exactly Henry and Mariatti had assumed, quite correctly, as
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: it turned out. But as soon as you thought your
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: painting was abraud you want.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: To get rid of it, and that girl's going to
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: take it out of this house with your full approval,
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: and of course turn it over to my arter.
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: What a fantastic scheme, A devilishly clever one old chap.
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: It hadn't been the chance to mark about the book
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: on mathematics, Sir Henry, I'm very much afraid the young
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: lady with the gazelle might even now be on our
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: way out of your house homes.
• 23:18
  Speaker 8: I can't tell you how grateful I am. I'm going
• 23:21
  Speaker 8: to express that gratitude in a very material manner.
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: I assure you, thank you, Sir Henry, and I wouldn't
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: dream of accepting a fee for this case. I've been
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: shockinglycuse I might basically have let them walk away with
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: your pleasure night on our noses.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: We locked in here.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: I'm very much afraid so Dr Watson.
• 23:38
  Speaker 8: Oh, I shouldn't be surprised if the butler notices our
• 23:40
  Speaker 8: disappearance and comes looking for us, But he won't be
• 23:44
  Speaker 8: able to open the door. It'll need a professional lucksmith
• 23:47
  Speaker 8: to get us out of here.
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: It looks as if we'll spend a.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Don't be gloomy, my dear fellow.
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: You're locked in with one of the loveliest girls in history,
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: and she's genuine at the son of that Joe Jap.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Don't be Let's let's look at it once again.
