• 0:01
  Speaker 1: And now for our weekly visit with the good doctor Watson.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: May I come in, doctor?
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: You know me better than that.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: Of course you can come in.
• 0:10
  Speaker 4: I'm expecting you.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: I always look forward to these Monday evenings together.
• 0:13
  Speaker 4: You know me too, doctor.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: In fact, I always say, this is the one doctor's
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: appointment that never scares me.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: My boy, you have to turn to make you so comfortable.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Thanks, and what prescription do you have in mind for
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: us tonight?
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Doctor?
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Let me see take one measure of subterranean peril, one
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: of aristocratic lady in distress, a sprinkling of assorted villains,
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: a corpse or two, and a little more than a
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: dash of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. Take the mixture well,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: and you have the case of the out of date murder?
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Or how did the adventure begin? Doctor?
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: Was there enough?
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: It was in September of nineteen hundred. I remember that
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Holmes and I went to Eastbourne for a much needed rest.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: First couple of days we spent in soothing idleness. On
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: the morning of a third day, homes a dash of
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: car back in his cheek and the hint of the
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: old sparkle in his eye suggested that you should go
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: and call on his good friend Evan Whitnell, curator of
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: a nearby museum. And so just after lunch on that
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: September day, found the two of us talking to Professor
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Evan Whitnell in his private office at the museum.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: It only seems, yet, with all your recent discoveries in
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: this part of England have made you world famous instead
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: of just nationally famous. My congratulations, professor, I do wish
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: you tell me your discovery with pleasure to doctor Watson.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: There less than two months ago I was excavating on
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: the Downlands in this neighborhood, when I was fortunate enough
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: to discover a number of underground caves, caves saturated with
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: a heavy deposit of line that gave clear evidence of
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: having the property of rapidly mummifying any flesh human or
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: animal deposited in them.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Interesting. In what treasures have you unearthed?
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: We are a number of mummified specimens of animals carely
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: belonging to bygone eras. My prize specimen is the body
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: of a large wolfhound. The inscription on its collar identified
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: the animal as having belonged to some local squire in
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: the year seventeen hundred and forty eight.
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: Amazing.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that limestone has qualities of preservation.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: Come in, come in, yes, allan, what is it lady Clavering?
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Professor you asked me to tell you that she was
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: in the museum.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: Oh yes, yes, yes, sir, sure up here will you allan?
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: Very good as God. I'm most anxious for you both
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: to meet her, and she, in turn is even more
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: anxious to meet you.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: I dined with her last night. When I told her
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: that you were coming here today, she insisted on meeting
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: No wit.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: No use scoundaled with a twinkle in your eye.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: I suspect that Lady Clavering has yet consulted me in
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: my professional capacity, and that you engineered the meeting. Perhaps
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: I might have dropped a head.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I own you.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Professor Holmes can't become involved in another case.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: He's completely run down.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: Well, don't worry, doctor. All that Lady Clavering.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Requires is a little advice.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: I knew you wouldn't mind. Homes Ah, helen and mind
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: dear there you are, come along in, Thank you, Adam.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: Now need to introduce Lady Tlavin, Mister Sherlock Holmes, and
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: doctor you are, my dear. Sit down here, I may
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: as well tell you, Helena that our little pot has
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: already been discovered.
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: Oh, dear, and I was just getting ready to exert
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: all my feminine wild in an attempt to persuade you
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: to help me.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Mister horn I'm certain that you find it ut irresistible.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Lady Clavering, you flattened me.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: I mean it.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: The professor tells me that you're in need of a
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: little advice, Lady Clapping.
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: Yes, mister Holmes, I have my question Simply, five years ago,
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: my husband, Sir George Clavering left me. This is me
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: I haven't I've seen or heard tell him since I
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: now wish to remarry, But of course I couldn't do
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: that without having my husband declared legally.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: Did my dear Lady Clavering, I can't help dealing with
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: the lawyer as the proper americansult not a detective.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: But you're suggesting that there was fould playing connection with
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: your husband's disappearance.
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: Oh no, doctor Watson. The Claverings are a strange family,
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: self willed and headstrong. George and I were not happy together.
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: I think he disappeared.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: Deliberately parted disappearance to the police. Of course, yes, mister Holmes.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: But they've never been able to trace him. This kind
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: of thing has happened in the family before. Holmes tell
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: him about Sir Nigel Helena.
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: He was one of my husband's ancesters. He walked out
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: one day in seventeen seventy seven was never.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Seen again, disappearing.
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: Knew the legend. They often threatened to do the same
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: thing himself.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: But your problem, Lady Clavering, is not that of your
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: husband's fate, but rather of your own freedom.
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: Yes, mister her Well, I'm.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: Afraid my advice can be of little consolation to you.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: The law has specified a number of years that must
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: have leaped before any one disappearing could be declared legally dead.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: I would suggest that you possess your soul in patience
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: until that period has elapsed.
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: Oh dear, and I was hoping you'll be able to
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: think it's some terribly clever way of getting round the law, mister.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: Holmes, Lady Clavering, sometimes perhaps my methods may be unorthodox,
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: but I assure you that getting around the law, as
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: you put it, is a procedure.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: I do not indulge in.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Oh dear me.
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: I've oftend you miss your hon and it's the last
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: thing on earth I meant to do. I was sure, my.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Friends, a little touch about matters concerning his professional honor.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Nonsense, my dear Watson, I'm not touching. I'm not offended.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: And now may I.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: Suggest we all examine the professor's made his treasures, and
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: after that, perhaps you'll take us for a stroll on
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: the downs. I'm most anxious to examine those lime pits
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: of his. The lime pits are about a mile from here.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: It's a nice walk across the cliptops.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: I'm final, Little Curring didn't want to come with us,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: this charming woman, even though though she did rub you
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: up the wrong way.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: A beautiful woman, Watson, but I must confess her charm
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: and mute me alext concern about her husband's fate seemed
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: completely unnatural and not if you'd known her husband, Sir
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: George Tavern. He was a tyrant and a bullet, both
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: in his whole life and in the village.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: Well, who's this coming towards us?
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: It's air Timmy death Timmy, they call him in these parts.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: He isn't quite right in the head, poor fellow, but
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: he's perfectly harmssed. Has two passions in life, birds and bonfires.
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: Hello, Timmy, I've got something beautiful to show you.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: Oh it's so beautiful. Well what is it, Timmy? Look
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: it's in my camp. See.
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: Oh, isn't it lovely?
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Robin's egg?
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: I found it when I was burn nesting. Did you
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: ever see such a blue egg?
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: It's beauty to me?
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Where did you find it?
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: Mama?
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: Gone by the line?
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Bits. Oh, I'm going to build.
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: A lovely fire on the tonight. I'll let you come
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: and watch it if you give me a shilling.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: Now, you'll be careful, Timmy, or you'll be in trouble again.
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: Timmy doesn't get in trouble anymore now, not since he
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: has George carried away.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: So George Tavern used to Timmy when he found him
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: on the land. Timmy, tell me, how did you have,
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: sir George, as you put it, carried away?
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: I told my birds about him. I told them how
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: he used to to beat poor Timmy. And they said
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: they'd carry him off and drop him over the cliffs.
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: And that's what they did, because he never came back again.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: Oh Lord, here comes Harris Gordos.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Brother.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: Now there'll be trouble, Timmy. You've got a run, no, Timmy,
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: CON's run.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: Her bread is pretty blue.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: Eh, Kenny, get off my land. I catch you here again.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: I'll take my riding.
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: Timmy hasn't done anything.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: On beyond you.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: You're here.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: I'll tell my birds about you. That's what I'll do. Book,
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: don't forget my bunfire Bernald's scoundrel.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: Hello, Hello, Harry.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: Have you met Shlock Holmes and Dr Watson? Oh? Sherlock
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: Holmes the professional nosey Parker.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Eh, yes, yes, Helen. I was just telling me about you.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: I'm very angry with her, but talking to you about
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: my brother private affair.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: And I intended to remain one understand.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: He pull myself.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: What's double with your brother, sir?
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: And with you? I'd advise you to remember that you're
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: not addressing a half witted village.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Oh can't defend himself. If you know what's good for you,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: you'll do what I say.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Certman Bruce, he spoke to you if you were stable
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: by home.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: He was quite refreshing.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: I'm reminded of an opposite quotation of my young friend
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: James l Roy Flecker, dying impudence, have a monstrous beauty,
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: like in the behind quarters of an elephant. He's almost
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: as much disliked as his brother of the poem tell
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: me you, does he succeed to the title when his
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: brother is the care legally dead. Yes, and what's more,
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: he's Helena's unofficial can't say it worse luck I see. Personally,
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: I'm beginning to get a trifle board with the affairs
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: of the Clapping family.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Let's go on to the line case showing these caves
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: are amazing.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: It must be fifty people on the level of the ground.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: Aren't we not?
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: Well? More than that, I should say formation, it's most
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: unusual a series of caves connected by a vertical honeycomber tunnel. Yes,
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: I think i'll light the lantern now. It's to be
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: dark in here. And I haven't explored this particular cave before,
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: and so I got a wall cave in on me
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: a couple of times. So you'd better watch where you're walking. Ye,
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: Now we can see better. Let's go deeper, shall we?
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: But do watch your stirf hmm?
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: Given here and now.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: What does the courage yet.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Looks like a mummified bird of some kind.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: It is a beautiful specimen, judging by its markings of
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: black streak here and bars white.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Author said with a pelgree.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: That's exactly what it is. A falcon taking back a
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: couple of hundred years, I should say, and in a
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: perfect state of preservation. This is a treasure. But come on,
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: let's explore.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Deeper another cave over here, old land and have a
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: little old Oh.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: Lord, the whole wall collapse? What's never hurt?
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Are you?
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: No?
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: How? Time?
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: All right?
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: Why you run earthed another cave? Dr Watson less coda.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: I think we can just manage to call through.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: Right color. I don't believe mind quick, this is a pressure. Indeed,
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: I don't think it preserved.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: Body dressed in aching sentory costume putteed with him all yes,
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: and there's no mistaking who it is at that typical reap. Profially,
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: it's a Clavering and it isn't hard to identify which
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: one do you mean? The one the lady Helen had
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: told us about this afternoon. Exactly without doubt, this is
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: the body of Sir Nigel Clavering, who disappeared in seventeen
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: hundred and seventy seven. Let's search his pocket through my
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: crime has some identification. He has a stop box of
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: the period and some coins.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: The inscription of George the third is still visible on them. Hello,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: here's here's his Dirrey. This is unbelievable.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: What are you up to, homes but examining the body, Watson,
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: This man was murdered, murdered.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: This wound just about the hut, obviously inflicted with a
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: sharp instrument poppaper dagger. This is interesting, an italed you
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: experience for me, the opportunity of solving an unsuspected murder committed.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: Well over one hundred years ago. Fan that die watch
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: when he won't check. Let's see if the part devil suspected.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: His feed m.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Hard to read.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: All the essays look like the peaciliarity of the eighteen
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: century writing.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: They are paying saying they are paying in the coffee half.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: But my brother Harry have been coverting my wife.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: This is amazing. See how history repeats itself. It's an
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: exact parallel of the situation existing today. Harry is coverting
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: his father's wife Helena, and Sir George has not been
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: seen for hid.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: One extronic instance if it were one.
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: As it is, it's one of the most ingenious frauds
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: I've ever seen.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: Dolding appears authentic.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: Sort of the coins and made the ink the paper
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: of the dari and due to the peculiar mummification of
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: the body, it would be almost impossible to say how
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: long it's been here. Nonetheless, I'm convinced that this is
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: a recent cause, and undoubtedly that of Sir George Tavern.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: What makes you so sure?
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: How writing the diary it can century used an S
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: it looks like an F. It is true, But never
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: at the end of the word you will recall Watson
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: that you were reading H A F half or H
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: A S hand that's perfect the two I was, well,
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: that would be incorrect in genuine eighteenth century writing.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: Now, obviously this is an extremely clever.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: Attempt to disguise the comparatively recent murder of Sir George Flavering.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: It's an incredible pose.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I believe you're right. I'm sure of it.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: What are you gonna do about it?
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: Do you and I?
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: Al Chapel have gone over the body? You, my dear,
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: with all if you don't mind, will be good enough
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: to go to catch the police. Homes God Jack, what
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: are you supposed to keeping the police?
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: Witnow must have gone over and now the lantern with him.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Here we are clutching the darkness, smelly cave to pick
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: it under the cliffs to the monified corps.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Who I do?
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: Ahh, Here comes Alund to mister.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: W I'm the pacho.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: That you.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: That's blinding me.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: That doctor Watson's story will continue in just a second,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: and I'm going to take that second to ask you
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: what you think of when I.
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: Say good food. When you say good food.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: To me, I can see myself really going down on
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: a piece of fried chicken, but really fried, you know,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: crisp and sort of a light brown. When I see
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: that chicken, I sure want to see some Petri Kelli
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: so turned, because, believe me, Petree so Turned, there is
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: a white wine that's the wine for chicken. That Petrie
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: so turn has a delicate kind of flavor, delicate like
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: its pale gold colored. What a flavor?
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: What a wine?
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: If you want to swell white wine, you certainly want
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Petree so Turned try it and see. And now back
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: to doctor Watson and tonight's story, the case of the
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: out of date murder. Well, doctor you certainly had me
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: on the edge of my chair during the first part
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: of the story. Say what happened when Sherlock Holmes yelled
• 15:40

  Speaker 6: Never?

  Speaker 3: To me, it's lovely comforting inside.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: I've seen the last couple of.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: Hours just one thing's battle.
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: Somebody tried to burn a book in my lovely fire.
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: Must have been and I was off getting more wood.
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: I found it when I came back, and I pulled
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: it out of the fire and stamped on it.
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: See here it is, Hello. It's the guy that we
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: found on the body in the lime pits, precisely, Watson.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: Now I begin to see daylight.
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: People shouldn't burn books. Books are nice. Books are like
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: birds and bonfires, but then.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: Nice to be near.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: Oh God, lighting game must be called. I get some
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: more twisted burn.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: That fellow's gone away for a moment. I can see
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: why we'll retep tonight. Murmurer knew that we were going
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: to the cave. He was afraid that his devilish plot
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: wouldn't stand up under your scout.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: New so he watched it.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: When we discovered the body and sent whitt a lot
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: to the police.
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: He knew he'd gotta get rid of us.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: And who do you think that's somebody is odor?
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: Well, that's easy.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Any one pusts fall enough to not just poised out
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: and shifted our bodies the gad, Sir George's brother, hurry.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: Clavering, I think servis. We entered the caves, the pick
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: axes and wheelbarrows were much in evidence. That's right they were.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: Strength was not required under the circumstances.
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: We were extremely vulnerable in the darkness. Any man with
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: a modigamuth cunning could have disposed of us, or any
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: woman for that.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: Good lord, you're you're not suggesting that?
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: Oh no, why your favor? I've had the police with me.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: We'll ask time if we couldn't find you. He went by.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: I left true with no.
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: I want you in the police to take me to
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: Lady Tavering's house at once. After that, I wished to
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: lodge information and make a charge of assault and possibly
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: a charge of murder. And that's, Lady Calavering, is the
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: story of how we found your husband's body.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: Horrible, hor much.
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: Whoins thunder could have planned such a devilish plot? Why
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: did the murder attack you? And Watson?
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: There, my dear, But no, you have the key to
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: the murder identity.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: The man who so cunningly conceived and executed the murder
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: of Sir George could never have bungled the job of
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: disposing of Watson and myself unless he had meant to
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: bungle it.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: You mean he didn't mean to kill it exactly. He
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: merely wished us out of the way while the incriminating
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: evidence was removed. You mean the d of course I do.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: You will recall we found it partially burnt in Timmy's bonfire.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: It was Timmy. No, no, no, my dear fellow.
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: Surely it's obvious one person and only one. You the
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: Padari was the key to the murder's identity. The man
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: who was present when we discovered it and detected.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: The floor, Great Scott, Professor Whitnock Witnell, You murdered my brother,
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: heaven you?
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: Oh no, I did it because I love you, Helenah.
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: All these years, There's been nothing in my life that
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: meant anything but you. How could I thought that, if
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: George were out of the way, I could make you
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: care for me. And when I realized that you loved Harry,
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: I I was mad with jealousy. So I planned to
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: conceal George's body forever. It was a rover plan, you
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: said to yourself, Holmes hadn't been for you. But work, yes,
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: but diabolically clever withdre But I'm afraid that no amount
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: of levin is now can prevent you from paying for
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: your crime. Sir George, I suggest that you instruct the
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: police to come in. Our work is done.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Look there on the point, him is Banfi, still burning away.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: Him is a simple fellow with simple tastes. Why are
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: you so gloomy? You saw the case presently, my.
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: Fellow, my feek in human nature has been said, is
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: shaken all heaven. Whit More was a good friend and
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: an old one heart instrumental in sending him.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: To the gallows richly deserves it. I know it is.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: That's quite true, But it's depressing just the same. Come
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: on continue. I walk home across the downs, her offering
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: you a fee?
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: Did you take it? No? I didn't, But I did
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: accept his offer of an acre of land on the
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: downs Over there, near the abbey ruins. You can see
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: them silhouetted against.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: The sky, naked plan. What on earth would you do
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: with that?
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: Well? When I retire, and I shall retire, soon. I've
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: often thought of bee far. This would be a heavenless
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: part for such a venture.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: I can't imagine you be keeper.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: Why not?
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: After a life spent on raveling the tangled affairs of human.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: Beings, it would be soothing in the twilight of one's
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: days to study the exact and predictable behavior.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: Of bees, singing masons building roofs of gold. Oh well,
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: one day, perhaps, perhaps one day
