• 0:01
  Speaker 1: And now I'm sure our good friend and host, doctor Watson.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Is waiting, so let's go and join.
• 0:05
  Speaker 3: Him in at darting good evening here, down load it.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Dancing, Barry Chepper to night tonight.
• 0:15
  Speaker 4: Yes, that they've been in disgrace most of the days,
• 0:19
  or what.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Have they been up to after these seals?
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: Again? Oh, my boy? This time it was chickens.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: They got into my neighbor's coop and had a delightful time.
• 0:27
  Fortunately there were no casualties. But I'm afraid that my
• 0:31
  my good neighbor policy has suffered a slight diplomatic strain.
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: But you've come here to.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: Listen to Sherlock Holmes's adventures, not those of my dogs.
• 0:39
  So drow up your usual chair and make yourself comfortable,
• 0:42
  and I'll get on with tonight's story.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Last week, Gotty, you told us it was a case
• 0:47
  in which Sherlock Holmes found the solution without having meeting
• 0:50
  any of the suspect.
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: That's quite correct. About as remarkable as an exhibition of long.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Distance detection as I ever recall, but judge the story
• 0:59
  for your solf, my boy, in the autumn of nineteen
• 1:02
  hundred and three, and Sherlock Holmes was about to retire
• 1:05
  to his bee farm on the Sussex Downs. I must confess,
• 1:09
  mister Bartell, that my heart was heavy during those last
• 1:12
  few weeks we spent at Baker Street. I thought of
• 1:15
  the countless adventures if we'd share together. I remembered those
• 1:19
  many evenings of quiet comradeship and companionship, a.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: Far blazing away in the hearth.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: As homes lay back in the shadows, playing his beloved violin.
• 1:29
  And then, mister Bartell, has so often happened, there'd be
• 1:31
  a violent jungle on our doorbell, and some wretched soul
• 1:34
  in misery would be standing before us and pouring out
• 1:37
  his troubles. Suddenly the violin would be discarded, and Holmes,
• 1:40
  a dreamer, would become Holmes, the man of action. Come
• 1:44
  wat's in the games of foot, he'd say, And in
• 1:46
  a few moments later we'd be rattling off in a
• 1:49
  cab through the foggy gas at London Street.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Yes, doctor, I can imagine it was pretty hard for
• 1:54
  you to leave Baker Street.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: It was, mister Boutell.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: However, as it transpired, there was one more adventure awaiting
• 2:02
  us before we left, a few days before the actual move.
• 2:05
  I persuaded Holmes to take an afternoon off from his
• 2:08
  packing and accompany me on a visit to the laboratory
• 2:11
  of an old friend of mine, a Professor Jean Boulain.
• 2:15
  He was an eminent French scientist engaged in very important
• 2:18
  work at the London University. But by the way, this
• 2:21
  was at a period, mister Bartel, when radium.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: Was something extremely new and extremely rare.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: The university had just acquired a minute but invaluable portion
• 2:31
  of the element, and Professor Bouhlin was in charge of
• 2:34
  a research connected with it. I can remember the picture
• 2:37
  so well as Holmes stood Albarte talking with keen interest,
• 2:43
  with a distinguished side.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Amazing, quite amazing.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: I think that this tiny leaden vessel contains one of
• 2:51
  the most precious substances in the world.
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: Yes, mister Holmes, they have a great deal to thank
• 2:55
  Madame Couri for this new element. May force us entirely
• 2:59
  to advise our concepts of all physical structure.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: Your search is a great responsibility.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Bull it is Watson.
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: I must profess that I wish the authorities here would
• 3:08
  give me a free hand. I see such infinite possibilities
• 3:12
  in the use, particularly the medical use of radium, but
• 3:16
  my conservative superior seemed to regard it only as a
• 3:20
  toy as scientific curiosity.
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: Limit your experiments according as birth exactly.
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: I'm given no opportunity to do anything that's in the
• 3:28
  least radical disheartening.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: How can re search ever get anywhere along those lines?
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: It is a great misfortune, Holmes, that you've determined to
• 3:37
  attire to your bee farm this project. We could use
• 3:40
  such an analytical mind as yours, professor.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: How many assistants do you have working with your buller? Three?
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: But none of them are very inspired.
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: I'm afraid my best assistant is a mania in Barker.
• 3:52
  He's a little on the conservative side too, but he
• 3:55
  is extremely adroit. The other two a young man called
• 4:00
  and the girl Gladys Hughes. They mean well, but coast
• 4:04
  I fear is the only word to describe them.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: Where do you lie?
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: I was just amused to observe that in describing my assistance,
• 4:13
  I chanced to be literal as well as figurative. It's
• 4:16
  odd that random symbolism can sometimes, But never mind that
• 4:21
  you would like to see those still the laboratory. I
• 4:24
  have some extraordinarily interesting photographic plates that they called the
• 4:29
  emanations of radium over here.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: I think you will find them most fascinating.
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: Baker Street, particularly when our rooms are full of packing cases,
• 4:47
  seems rather grab after the scantific stimulations of Professor Bulan's laboratory.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: Jabe grab.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Even if we hadn't been the same, I feel frightful
• 4:56
  the press.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: I just don't know what I'm going to do with our.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: The young man Watson and a susceptible one. You'll marry again, No,
• 5:04
  I won't.
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: You will old Chap, and you'll end up by being
• 5:08
  glad that your old roommate, your difficult, rather unsociable old
• 5:11
  room mate, is living in retirement on the Sussex down rubbish.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: I shan't feel a living of the kind in any case.
• 5:17
  I don't think you'll be able to stay in retirement
• 5:19
  for long. Your mind as much to a left to
• 5:21
  be satisfied by being a sort of midwife to a
• 5:24
  bunch of beastly beeble.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, dear Watson, I feel this will never eat honey again.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: Yes, you can laugh.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Homes, but I could see how excited you were when
• 5:33
  Bulla suggested that you might help him with his radium experiments.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Aftering suggestion, I must have pick my dear fellow just
• 5:38
  to say, oh, now hoo, the devil's that.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: From the urgency of the tag on the bell pull,
• 5:43
  I'd say that.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: It was a client and don't head him off. Forty
• 5:45
  want chap.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: Yes, I'll do my best.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'll watson explain that I'm no longer in practice.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: Two late homes. He's best pass Missus Hudson.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: Here he comes, rushing up the stairs.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: I can't found it.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: I beg your pardon, sir. No, I am not sure.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Then you must be missed Holmes. Here's my name, sir,
• 6:01
  But may I ask what accounts for your rather wild
• 6:03
  wind entrance? My housekeeper, Missus Hudson, I haven't any time
• 6:06
  to consider etiquette. My sister, Gladys Hughes has vanished, vanished
• 6:09
  into thin air. You've got to find it for me,
• 6:11
  mister Holmes.
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: I'll pay you any fee you name, but you've got
• 6:13
  to find mister Hughes. I'm extremely sorry that your sister
• 6:16
  has vanished, but I'm afraid that I can do nothing
• 6:17
  to help you.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: I'm retiring, I'm giving up my practice. If you won't
• 6:21
  help me, I'll go to someone who will.
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: That's exactly what I mean, sir, I suggest that you
• 6:24
  go to the police, or if you insist on a
• 6:26
  private investigator, I can strongly recommend mister Martin Hewitt's. Yes,
• 6:30
  his address is thirty nine Punt Street, Knightsbridge. Good date
• 6:34
  you and good Dame's Hughes.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: And it was like.
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: Nunstand his concerned that his manners need a great deal
• 6:41
  to be designed.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Homes homes Gladness Hughes is missing, sister. That was the
• 6:45
  name of what a Professor Buller's assistance was.
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: That true, follow, but it's probably only a coincidence. Both
• 6:51
  Christian and surnames are extremely common ones.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: Well, I I have a feeling that it may not
• 6:56
  be a coming.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Come now, my dear fellow, you try and embroil me
• 7:01
  in a fresh adventure. I've retired and I'm leaving for
• 7:03
  Sussex in a few days.
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: And if any more plans come runching at my Doorbill,
• 7:07
  I shall ignore them.
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: But mister Holmes, you've got to help me. My son
• 7:16
  Jeffrey Barker has disappeared.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, missus Barker, but I'm afraid I'm homes.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Jeffrey Barker was the name of Professor Buller's chief assistant.
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: Watson, please believe me when I say that I am
• 7:26
  not being bageled into any further.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: And Missus Taylor, I'm sorry, but I can't help you.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: But mister Holmes, it's my husband.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: He's disappeared.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: We've only been married three months from now.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: It's terrible.
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: I've been so worried ever since he started to work
• 7:43
  on that strange new radium with Professor Jean Below Homes.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: You can't pretend it's coincidence in Alana Gann's hues, Jeffrey
• 7:49
  Barker and now Taylor, the three assistants.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: Of Professor Buller.
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: I know it, Watson, Missus Taylor, the moving van will
• 7:55
  be hit brow to take my things to Sussex. I
• 7:58
  shall follow them immediately. I have retired, madam. Do you
• 8:01
  understand that retired?
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Yes, another telegram photo homes.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: For the fourth today. Why would Scotland Yard leave me alone.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: To put a strange business.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Three people engaged in the search of this new element radium,
• 8:20
  We've all disappeared within forty hours.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: Scotland Yard needs your.
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: Help at them earn their salaries. My dear Watsons and
• 8:27
  I've helped them for the last time. Well, let's see
• 8:29
  how they've catched their latest diffusion. Oh this isn't from
• 8:33
  Scotland yard, it's from.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: My brother Micraft.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: Micraft, what's you gotta say is.
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: Now Professor Bullan has disappeared Great Scott and the radium
• 8:42
  with him.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Surely the pattern is obvious. Shrlock.
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: Radium must be found, could solve the problem for you,
• 8:47
  But I'm too lazy. Consider what a flashy case for
• 8:50
  you to retire? On regards Micraft, the old devil terms,
• 8:55
  this is shocking.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: My old friend Bulla has.
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: Disappeared, Watson, and now my brother asks me to to gate. Hmm,
• 9:01
  the pressure becomes irresistible. Very well, I bow to Paeton
• 9:05
  postponed my retirement for a few hours. Good man, you
• 9:07
  know you'll you'll never really retire oously, as my crop says,
• 9:11
  there's an obvious pattern in this case.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Our first step, of course, will be to interview all
• 9:15
  the doctors who freak patients without charge.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Why, surely that's obvious all obviously here.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: I don't know why you always leave me in the dark.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Well, what makes you laugh?
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: He left in the dark. It's just like the old
• 9:28
  times in it home. Come on, old fellow, let's go.
• 9:31
  The game's a foot, doctor McDonald, This is mister Sherlock home.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Mister Sherlock Holmes. I'm very glad to meet you, and
• 9:49
  are you doctor McDonald.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: I swear that I've never been as many doctors' offices
• 9:53
  I have today. That mister Holmes is in search of
• 9:56
  some information. Perhaps doctor you you can help him.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: I will do my best. What do you want to know,
• 10:01
  mister Hole?
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: Whether you have any charity patients with skin eruptions or
• 10:06
  growths of any kind, and patients that have not kept
• 10:09
  their appointments recently.
• 10:10
  Speaker 8: Perhaps now let me see wait? Why, yes, I do
• 10:15
  old missus Pendle. She has a very bad case of lupus.
• 10:19
  Keeps you for a treatment here yesterday, and I've seen nothing.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Of her splendid. Can you give me her address or
• 10:24
  certain it's in my book here?
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: I hope this isn't the false trial homes.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: You can explore it and see that chap here.
• 10:31
  Speaker 8: We are Missus Pendley thirty six, ELM Gardens, Flapham.
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: Missus Pendall thirty six, Young Gardens, Clapham. Thank you, rotor.
• 10:42
  I'm greatly obliged to you. Getting restless Watson.
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: Yes, I am a little.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: We've been waiting outside missus Pendall's house over now.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: Do we not the door? No?
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: No, no, my chap, we mustn't fight, man. I hope
• 11:05
  that she's going to lead us to our quarry. You
• 11:06
  see the doors opening. A woman's coming out. Yes, it
• 11:12
  is Missus Pendle, beyond doubt with that bandage around the
• 11:15
  upper part of her face.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: Hello, she's turning down the street. We're going to follow hers.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: But naturally, but let's give us a Let's give her
• 11:22
  a start to me. We don't want her to suppot us.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: Well while we're waiting, perhaps you clear? What are two
• 11:27
  points for me? I'm still very much in the dark.
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: The pleasure chap puzzles you're well one of the things
• 11:31
  that I hunted. Well, we've given her enough of us start.
• 11:34
  Let's follow up very well, but we'll kill you.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Asked me what I didn't understand?
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: Two things puzzle me.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: What did Micoff mean by the pattern of the case?
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: Why are we following a poor.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Sticle lady through the London street?
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: I'll ask answer the first question, and I think the
• 11:51
  answer to the second. Roboso the parent. The pattern of
• 11:53
  the case is clear.
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: Professor buland his three assistants have vanished together with the radium,
• 11:58
  but their disappearance is not simultaneous. Had they been so,
• 12:02
  it would have been a transparrent.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Case of theft.
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: But with the disappearances gradual rather than simultaneous, the emphasis
• 12:08
  has been subtly shifted.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: Yees, I can see that, Holmes, But what do you
• 12:12
  suppose is the.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Back of the whole business can't be a simple case
• 12:15
  of theft. Radium is enormously valuable, but it'd be hard
• 12:18
  stuff to sell again.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Not to an unscrupulous criminal with a knowledge of medicine. Watson.
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: My own theory, and I admit at the moment that
• 12:24
  it's purely a theory, is that Professor Bulan was worried
• 12:27
  because he was so hampered in his research. You remember
• 12:30
  that he stressed his great faith in the medical values
• 12:33
  of the new element radium.
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes he did.
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: It's more than possible that he places the rights of
• 12:38
  science about the rights of property, that he's determined that
• 12:40
  he and his group will carry on their invaluable research
• 12:43
  unhampered by the conservative restraints of the university.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: I see what you mean, Holmes, But how does missus
• 12:48
  pendle the poor woman that we're following into the picture,
• 12:51
  because one.
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: Of the chief lines of radium research on the continent
• 12:53
  so far has been with her sort of trouble. Professor
• 12:56
  Bullan's obvious move, if my theory is correct, would be
• 13:00
  countact povertystricant patience, promise them relief, induce them to abandon
• 13:04
  their regular treatments and submit to him.
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: By Joy's holmes, that seems.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Perfectly logical, And yet I can't believe that Buller would missus.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Ben Gorton has reached her destination. She's turned on the driveway.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: Yes, she's walking up to what looks like an asserted
• 13:18
  warrior chap.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Don't get her out of our sight.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: She's opened the door without knocking. She's gone in.
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: We'll wait here for a moment or two, then we'll
• 13:28
  follow her. I have a feeling that your old friend,
• 13:31
  Professor Buller is not far away way since you're.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: Probably right, but I hope we can do something to
• 13:35
  protect him from the consequences of.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: What he's done. It might easily mean the finish of
• 13:39
  her brilliant career.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Everything in my power, but you know as well as
• 13:42
  I do.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: Look, Look, look, look she pals coming out.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Yes, she's in tubble. Come on, missus Pendle, what's wrong.
• 13:52
  I don't know how you know my name or will
• 13:54
  you plea? But he ask me what's wrong?
• 13:57
  Speaker 7: They tell me to come here to this address and
• 13:59
  I'll find a doctor to do deal my face that
• 14:02
  comes to here.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: And what did you find, madam?
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: A corpse?
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: That's what I find.
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: A dead man lie there in a great pool of
• 14:10
  his own blood.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: You ll have the rest of doctor Watson's story in
• 14:24
  just a second. So I'm just going to remind you
• 14:26
  that there's one wine which everyone likes and which is
• 14:30
  good on any occasion. Petrie California is sherry. Do you
• 14:34
  want to swell wine to serve before dinner? The perfect
• 14:37
  answer is Petree Sherry. If you want a wine that's
• 14:41
  delicious after dinner or later in the evening when you're
• 14:44
  just talking things over with your friends again, you want
• 14:47
  Petree Sherry. And if you want a wonderful wine to
• 14:50
  serve at cocktail time, naturally you want Petre sherry. Sherry
• 14:54
  is a wine that's good at any time. And Petrie, well,
• 14:58
  Petri is the wine it's good.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: All the time. Well, doctor Watson.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: So, following the tracks of all Missus Pendle led you
• 15:07
  to a corpse.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: Yes, of course, Sherlock Holmes and I went at once
• 15:10
  into the broken down warehouse to examine the scene of
• 15:12
  the tragedy. Slumped over the desk in a dark and
• 15:16
  chabby room, afflicting candle giving him a carb liking to
• 15:19
  the scene was the body of a man. I think
• 15:23
  I knew it's identity even before Holmes turned to me.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: He said, as a bull, all right, Watson.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: Murdered the case.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Yes, but examine him for yourself, will you?
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: Yes, there's no doubt about it.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: This wound couldn't have been self inflicted. The right oracle
• 15:45
  of the heart has been pierced.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with your comid. Death took place, Uh
• 15:50
  not more.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: Than a couple of hours.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Ago, I should say on how to reconstruct the killing.
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: The murderer came up from behind Boula as he sat here,
• 16:00
  crypton armor around his throat. Yes, see the finger marks
• 16:04
  on the right hand side of the neck here, then
• 16:07
  stabbed him in the chest, then with do the weapon
• 16:09
  and disappeared, leaving no traces confounded. Dusty room is an
• 16:13
  ideal place for recording footprints, but have a doesn't Different
• 16:17
  prints here, including missus Pendall's hello, here's the prince. A
• 16:21
  smaller woman sho.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: Who must be out of Galet Hughes his assistant.
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: Doubtedly, but that really proves nothing except that she was
• 16:26
  here with him, in the fact that we were convinced
• 16:28
  of anyway. The question is, come on, let's go outside
• 16:31
  and talk to missus Pendle again.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: Poor buller, what a shocking way to.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Die, What a great loss to science.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: I suppose the murderer must have stolen the radium. We
• 16:43
  found no trace of it in there.
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: Undoubtedly the possession of the radium as the motive for
• 16:47
  the murderer. Missus Pendall, the poor man is dead, ain't tis?
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: I'm afraid so, Madam.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: I knew it. I never should have come here, I
• 16:57
  never should have left.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: Doctor McDonald.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: Missus Pendall, let me ask you a question.
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: I can't be answering no question, sir. I don't know
• 17:03
  nothing about how the poor soul got hisself murdered. What
• 17:06
  would the poor woman like me know about? No?
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: No, no, my good woman, my friend isn't suggesting it
• 17:12
  told you know anything.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: About the murder?
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Then what do you want to know, sir? Who told
• 17:16
  you to come to this address today?
• 17:18
  Speaker 7: Missus Pendall, a young lady now a young lady.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: She was too.
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: She met me coming out of doctor McDonald's yesterday and
• 17:25
  tell me that if I come here today, i'd find
• 17:28
  a doctor who could cure me.
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: That was Simmus Hughes's homes. I believe that you're there.
• 17:33
  It was right.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Come on, Missus Pendle.
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: We'll just scart you to the nearest police station where
• 17:37
  you can't report the murder. Yes, sir, and then Watson,
• 17:41
  we must keep on the track of the radium that
• 17:43
  perhaps is more important than any life.
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: How are we going to do that? We haven't a
• 17:47
  clue to go on.
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: Remember, the Professor Bullan's three assistants are still missing. We
• 17:51
  must go to the homes of each of them and
• 17:53
  see what can be found out.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Excuse realized by now that.
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: Your sister's disappearance is part of something vastly more significant
• 18:04
  than you think.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: I must ask you and that my sister didn't disappear.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: What do you mean so you came to us and
• 18:08
  said that you had or it.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Was all a mistake, gentlemen. She came back today.
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: She'd just been down to the seaside for a short rest,
• 18:13
  and she'd forgotten to let me know. I'm sorry to
• 18:16
  have bothered you. May I see your sister at once, please,
• 18:18
  I'm sorry, mister Holmes, but she's out just now. I
• 18:20
  don't know where she's gone or what time she'll be back.
• 18:27
  Missus Baker, I've come to you about your son's disappearance.
• 18:30
  Speaker 7: I'm afraid that my son didn't disappear, mister Holmes, it
• 18:33
  was all misunderstanding.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: He came home today.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: Well, may we speak to him produced Missus.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Bar I'm afraid that's impossible.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: You see he does.
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: Missus Taylor, I want to talk to you about your
• 18:46
  husband's disappearance.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Oh that he came home this afternoon. Mister Holmes. At
• 18:51
  first I was so suspicious.
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: But when he explained, well, I'm sure you know how
• 18:57
  it is in the first few months of marriage those.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Confound it, Watson, we are no nearer the solution.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: I meanwhile, here we are back in Vega Street to
• 19:11
  find the moving there has taken all your things off
• 19:13
  of Sussex. Perhaps you should give up the case homes
• 19:16
  and follow them.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: There's my career and another failure. No no, no, no,
• 19:20
  my dear fellow. I shall not leave London until this
• 19:22
  problem is solved.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: The case I'll sit down, looks to me as if
• 19:28
  it may prove a lengthy weight.
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: I rarely felt more prostrated Watson. All three vanished technicians
• 19:34
  home safely with plausible stories or at least plausible alibis,
• 19:38
  and poor Bullah murdered.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: The radium is stolen.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: Musta it makes no sense to me.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: It must make sense. Paton was well enough to find
• 19:47
  in the beginning.
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: It's just a question of finding the right key. In
• 19:52
  a way, it's clear enough what's happened. One of the
• 19:55
  three assistants, placing the financial value of radium above its
• 19:59
  value to science, murdered Boulin to obtain the prize.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: The other two, fearing that they're complicit in the.
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: Original Plotwood, involved them as accomplices in murder, ran home
• 20:09
  and established an alibama.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: The murderer did the same thing. For it's obvious one
• 20:13
  of the three must be the killer and the thief.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Yes, the question is which one of the three is
• 20:18
  the culprit.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: If poor Bulin were alive, he could help.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Us, my dear Chap. If Boulin were alive, there would
• 20:25
  be no murderer.
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: Now, let's see, let's see Let's see Boulan gave us
• 20:30
  a few bare facts about his three assistants.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: But of course, what's more. I have the answer. The
• 20:37
  case is solved.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: What do you mean, Holmes, that cannot be solved if
• 20:39
  haven't done enough investigation.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: If it comes to that you haven't even seen any of.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Your three suspect isn't necessary, you know, did it? Yes? Watson?
• 20:48
  And so should you.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: But we know nothing to set them apart from each
• 20:51
  other except that one of them is a girl.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: You know more than that, my dear fellow, think hard?
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: Wha Bouhlin told us that Jeffrey Barker was an excellent technician, while.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: The other summer you know even more than that.
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: That's why I know what home.
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: I shan't even need to stay in London and follow
• 21:06
  the case through to its logical conclusion. A telegraph to
• 21:10
  my Craft and another to Scotland the arch to take
• 21:13
  care of it. Yes, and I can.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Be in Sussex before the moving van after all?
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: You mean your going now before the case is solid.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Is solved, my dear fellow. Well, that remains to be
• 21:21
  done is some purely routine work. What's the time splendid?
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: If we hardly can catch the three forty five Express
• 21:29
  from Waterloo.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: We yes, I was.
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: Counting on you spending a few days down there with me,
• 21:34
  old Chap. I hope you can spare the time. I
• 21:36
  should hate to make so plastic a change without my
• 21:39
  good old friend Watson at my side.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: Oh delighted, But but what, my dear boy, the case
• 21:45
  of the disappearing scientists.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Wait until we get to Sussex, shall we? As soon
• 21:50
  as I get an answer to my telegrams, I'll explain
• 21:52
  the whole thing to you. Man. Now, let's hurry, shall we?
• 21:54
  Our train leaves in forty minutes?
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: What he? What's in vane? Boy?
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Peaceful down here?
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: Isn't it extremely the moment was confessed? I find it
• 22:14
  rather nerve wrecking. Oh why you know why? Holmes?
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: I want you open that telegram and tell me if
• 22:20
  your solution to the Buller case was the correct one.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: Jap.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Let's see m it's from Miecraft. Listen. Murderer arrested and
• 22:32
  radium recovered.
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: Well done, Sherllock, though you took longer than I expected
• 22:36
  regards Micraft.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: You can get relations with homes and now perhaps you'll
• 22:39
  condescended to tell me I resolved.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: Don't be angry with me, old jab I only wanted
• 22:43
  to make sure that my solution was correct.
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: You remember the nature of the fatal wound on Bullan's body.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: Of course, he stabbed through the right oracle.
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: Of the heart from behind, proving that the mirror was
• 22:56
  clearly right handed.
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: What does that signify almost everybody's right hand.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: Oh no, not in this case.
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: If you recall, Professor Bullan said that Jeffrey Barker was
• 23:04
  adroit while his.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Other two assistants were gush.
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: Then he laughed because he said his funk was true,
• 23:11
  both literally and figuratively. Oh come, now, can't think of
• 23:17
  the origin of the word adroit. Abdoidis is the French
• 23:22
  word for right, and gush is the word for left,
• 23:26
  meaning the two Ghosh assistants were left handed, and therefore
• 23:30
  only the adroit, the right handed Baker, could have inflicted
• 23:34
  the fatal wound.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: I see it now, Holmes, fight.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: You know, if you remember that mark of Bullans at
• 23:39
  the time we found his body, you could have solved
• 23:42
  the case much sooner as.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: To very true.
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: And when my old friend Watson points out that my
• 23:47
  memory is failing and my mind's sluggish, then I know
• 23:51
  that my retirement has been postponed for far too long,
