- 0:00Speaker 1: Now, doctor Watson, what about the adventure of the cat
- 0:03taking in the horror?
- 0:04Speaker 2: It all began with this very letter, which I have
- 0:06here in my hand, mister Bell, a letter.
- 0:09Speaker 3: From the most prosaic firmuses of the sisters.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Holmes and I were breakfast one spring morning in June
- 0:14nine hundred and two, shortly after the end of the
- 0:17South African War. Holmes had been bored and restless since.
- 0:21Speaker 4: Conclusion of our last case.
- 0:23Speaker 3: And this was the first time that I'd heard him
- 0:25last the day.
- 0:27Speaker 5: I must say, Watson, that the morning Post has brought
- 0:30at least one unusual communication. For a mixture of the
- 0:33martin and the medieval, of the practical and the wildly fanciful.
- 0:37This letter is really the limit. Oh why Holmes listens
- 0:41twenty four Grays in London, June the fourth re vampires
- 0:45re what re vampires? The legal mind is always precise,
- 0:49no matter how of the subject. The letter goes on
- 0:51as follows, mister Sherlock Holmes, Sir, our client, Count Paul
- 0:56Romany of Graisner and Carpaisier, whose trustee, as we are,
- 1:00has made inquiry from us in the communication of even
- 1:03bait concerning vampires and demoniac possession, as our firm specializes
- 1:09entirely in trusteeseous and chancery. What the matter hard that
- 1:12comes within our purview, and we trust that you will
- 1:15be able to take the matter in hand. We hope
- 1:17you will call upon us at your earliest convenience with
- 1:20a view toward undertaking the case. Please ask for our
- 1:23mister Caterbury. We remain, sir, faithfully yours Wilkinson, Wilkinson, Entwhistle
- 1:28and dog.
- 1:30Speaker 2: God harms us the weirdest frog of legal jargon and
- 1:33sheer nonsense.
- 1:34Speaker 5: However, I wonder, Watson, the mention of Carpace is most
- 1:38significant for one thing. That remote mountainous section of southeastern
- 1:43Europe has been the stronghold for centuries of all the
- 1:46legends of vampires, all rubbish. Sure, come come, Watson, where's
- 1:49your spirit of adventure? After weeks of lying in the doldrums,
- 1:53he has a fresh breeze from the unexpected environs of Braisen.
- 1:57Come on, it's a beautiful morning for a walk, Wilkinson, Wilkinson,
- 2:01and Whistle and dart. And then I hope Carpathia.
- 2:19Speaker 2: Very harms of all of the saken spots that I've
- 2:21ever seen. This is the worst on a light in sight,
- 2:23on a sign of human habitation Vagne two thirds of
- 2:27the way across Europe on what will unquestionly prove a
- 2:30wild thoat case.
- 2:31Speaker 5: And at least we have our fishing rounds with us,
- 2:32my dear fellow, and we can always console ourselves with
- 2:35the promise of some of the best sprout streams to
- 2:37be found anywhere. And you must admit that this mountainous
- 2:40Carpathian country office, in the sub Serb scenery.
- 2:42Speaker 2: Is and I've admitted to Baggot said as it's black as.
- 2:46Speaker 3: The ash of state cone of phrase.
- 2:48Speaker 5: Ah, there we are here, look out of the wind
- 2:50on this side. There are the lights of the castles here.
- 2:53Speaker 3: If he says how much, sir, when is that far Atambra?
- 2:56Say that this has been built the first counter Roman.
- 2:58Speaker 5: You built it in fourteen ten.
- 3:01Speaker 4: Let's given it almost five hundred years.
- 3:03Speaker 3: And Richard s symtegrate fill me a pile of stone
- 3:07if ever I saw one. Look at all.
- 3:09Speaker 2: Those tallets, battlement probably damper inside and other.
- 3:13Speaker 3: Well, well, soon a careful with that lugged driver.
- 3:18Speaker 4: Careful here you are, my man.
- 3:24Speaker 3: Well, let's follow that driver. You think the devil was
- 3:26after the way he drove off.
- 3:28Speaker 5: And he shunk up the moment he heard our destination.
- 3:30Evident that the Count's local reputation is not an enviable one.
- 3:34I can't say we're getting of any warm reception.
- 3:36Speaker 3: They must have heard this, drimer. Here's the dog. But
- 3:39I can't see any side.
- 3:40Speaker 5: Of a bell, and they've seen a traple short of
- 3:42modern conveniences. Let's try to knock her.
- 3:47Speaker 3: I really think this is perfectly outrageous. Homes. Why are
- 3:49the devil's a name?
- 3:54Speaker 4: What's it say?
- 3:55Speaker 3: Eastern name?
- 3:57Speaker 4: Oh no, they speak English?
- 4:00Speaker 5: What do you want? Nobody can come in, Count Romanya,
- 4:04see nobody. Count Romania is expecting us. Mister Shallock Holmes
- 4:08and doctor Watson. You've got letter, Yes, yes.
- 4:15Speaker 3: Come, I tell your homes.
- 4:21Speaker 2: Look at these walls simply boosing dampness.
- 4:25Speaker 5: You wait here, Fare Watson. That's better, isn't it. That's
- 4:33why I will take the chill out of your bone.
- 4:34Speaker 3: I need something to contact effectival.
- 4:36Speaker 5: Those tabilent portraits I'm looking love remarkably interesting collection. Jhow
- 4:43us how the family likeness remains unmistakable through so many generations,
- 4:47Judging from the.
- 4:48Speaker 3: Looks that follow in the wig.
- 4:49Speaker 2: Cirrhosis of a lover must have been another of the
- 4:52family's inheritances.
- 4:54Speaker 4: Hard thinking crew probably sult.
- 4:57Speaker 5: I'm Count roman I can't tell you how glad time
- 5:00to see you. Thank you, Count Romen you this is
- 5:02my colleague, doctor Watson.
- 5:03Speaker 1: How do you do, Doctor Watson? It was good of
- 5:05you that comes so fun something to drink and a
- 5:09little something you go very well.
- 5:10Speaker 3: I guess.
- 5:13Speaker 5: I don't know just how much my service the first
- 5:15in London may have told you, mister Home a very
- 5:17little countermany, so little in fact, that I must confess
- 5:20my surprise at you're a perfect command of our language.
- 5:23Oh my father had me educated in England.
- 5:26Speaker 3: My answer couldn't do better.
- 5:28Speaker 5: Sit down, I I have the nowhere to begin my story.
- 5:36The whole thing so horrible. They have to make it
- 5:38a bit easier for you. If I tell you that
- 5:40mister Atterbury showed me your letters to him, then you
- 5:44know that that I believe I'm going mad for the worse. Oh,
- 5:49Dr Watson will bear me out, Count Romanee, when I
- 5:51tell you that people who really are on the verge
- 5:54of insanity never think it of themselves that I wish
- 5:57I could share that belief. But you see these portraits
- 6:01of my family.
- 6:02Speaker 1: There have been strange legends coming down through the years
- 6:05of occasional weird, anameless horrors that have taken possession of
- 6:08each fourth generation. Before Romanya died, Mad the Ape lived
- 6:14out his life in a locked and guarded tower of
- 6:16the castle. And I am the twelfth woman.
- 6:19Speaker 5: All old families have legends that, sir, hardly a basis
- 6:22for any fear. I quite agree with you.
- 6:25Speaker 1: But some months ago my father died and I became
- 6:27the twelfth count. A few weeks later I retired to
- 6:31bed one evening after reading quietly here in the library,
- 6:35only to undergo a dream of such vividness that I
- 6:37shall never forget. It had reaped a brightly colored corridors,
- 6:43the length stretching endlessly into the distance. There was echoing
- 6:48with strange, unworldly music. In my dream, I hurried from
- 6:54empty room to ety room through flights abrasion very colored light.
- 6:59I saw no no living thing, only the rooms of
- 7:03ruby and gold, and jet and sapphire an emerald. At times,
- 7:08the music seemed to be far away, thin and cold.
- 7:13It's opening from the depths of intero stary space and
- 7:17then again, it was seemed so near that I was
- 7:19searching I would find its source in the next room
- 7:21that I.
- 7:22Speaker 5: Entered, And my end was searched for.
- 7:24Speaker 1: I knew not what at last, after I answer time,
- 7:30I will to find myself in my own bedroom.
- 7:33Speaker 3: Oh but, my dear fellow, my dear fellow, if.
- 7:36Speaker 1: It dreamed nothing unusual, It wasn't a dream, doctor, It
- 7:40was what I saw upon awaking in my room.
- 7:44Speaker 5: My door was still locked, but the rod bore the
- 7:46imprint of wet and naked feet, and across the foot
- 7:50of my bed there lay still dripping some strands of
- 7:54weed from the moat of the castle. I'm surely there's
- 7:57a natural explanation for that.
- 7:58Speaker 4: Yes, my boy, are you buy an I chant subject
- 8:00to walking in your sleep?
- 8:02Speaker 1: No, doctor, wards, And even if I were, I could
- 8:05not have walked through a lot and bought the door
- 8:07and the windows.
- 8:08Speaker 5: The windows of my room.
- 8:09Speaker 1: Give on the wall of the castle that dropped sheer
- 8:12for sixty feet. Nothing but that flight had to up
- 8:15or down.
- 8:17Speaker 5: Where mister Holmes.
- 8:18Speaker 1: The next morning, a dog belonging to one of the
- 8:21local woodcutters was found dead in the castle.
- 8:23Speaker 5: Moat, and with no blood lift in his body, and
- 8:28the next time time, Count Remedy, I am certain I
- 8:31must have been repetitions to bring you to your present fear.
- 8:34The next dream came a few weeks later. Again I
- 8:38saw the brilliantly colored rooms.
- 8:39Speaker 1: Again, I heard the unearthly music, And when you awoke,
- 8:42I was in my bed, and for a moment I
- 8:44thought that nothing was wrong. Then when I turned up
- 8:48the lamp, I saw streaks of gray across in my
- 8:52bed spread, and his grayish foot strims upon the rug
- 8:56dust dust, mister Holmes. And a moment later I received
- 9:00hard the confirmation of its source. For lying beside me
- 9:04on the pillow was the heavy ancient rod and key,
- 9:08which a lot of the burial us at the Romanue thing.
- 9:11Speaker 5: Since your action and sending for me shows but you
- 9:13don't like for moral carriage, Count Romani, I'm certain that
- 9:16you paid an immediate visit to your family vault. Quite right, mister,
- 9:19quite right, in the company of my cousin Peter and
- 9:22several of the Sevens, and.
- 9:24Speaker 1: With torches to light our way, we visited the subterranean vault,
- 9:28which is cut into the mountain side under the cass
- 9:30and you found which we found out the coffin at
- 9:33the fourth and eighth, Count Romaniu had been opened. There
- 9:38are lids shuter side, and the bones of my ancestors
- 9:42stumbled out upon the stone.
- 9:47Speaker 5: Break this, thank you, doctor, Well you understand, mister Holmes
- 9:55via Synbury, I do. Indeed, I consulted doctors. They gave
- 9:59me a pill to make me sleep, when sleep was
- 10:01the one thing I'd reread it.
- 10:03Speaker 4: The local priests spoke.
- 10:04Speaker 1: Learnedly of exorcism. It's possession by the devils, but it
- 10:08could not remain to my dreams. The servants have run
- 10:11away in superstitious fear, or except Olentan readmitted you. The
- 10:16peasants flee at the sight of me. Only my cousin
- 10:19Peter Hallis, who stayed bravely and loyally in my side,
- 10:22still remains with me, Mister Holmes, and my mad tell
- 10:27me am I mad or in I closed by some
- 10:29fearful family.
- 10:30Speaker 5: K al that I can tell you at the moment,
- 10:32Count Romanie, is that the priest was not mistaken when
- 10:35he said the devil has been at work here.
- 10:49Speaker 1: I must apologize, gentlemen, for our limited cuisine. But a
- 10:52lot of the staffs don't except a lent, and our
- 10:54meals are rather scratch it.
- 10:56Speaker 4: Oh my dear God Romania, your wine sell the more
- 10:58and makes up for it.
- 10:59Speaker 6: You know, if you would take my prescription, Pall and
- 11:02get out on a horse every day for a few
- 11:04hours of hunting, you would have a better abbitt.
- 11:07Speaker 5: My cousin Peter is quite a material a strangeman.
- 11:10Speaker 1: He believes that all the evils at the flesh and
- 11:13the spirit can be cured by anoth exa son.
- 11:16Speaker 5: And I evaded that doctor Watson agrees with me.
- 11:20Speaker 3: And act Well's a good deal to be said for your.
- 11:22Speaker 4: Theory, Miss alush Men's son, I incorporate, Sonho.

- 11:29us earlier account romonym. Of course, mister Holkson had no
- 11:32secrets from good old Peter here. And what is your
- 11:34opinion of these strange events, mister Halush So much reading,
- 11:37too much, thinking, too much pruding about these seems of
- 11:40our ancestors.

- 11:45that all these dreams of his hand just a lot
- 11:47of nonsense.

- 12:22of us shall keep the Count's door and observation all night.
- 12:24Speaker 3: And so why there's no doubt in your mind? The
- 12:27poor chap is definitely unbalances?

- 16:55Speaker 4: Well, here's the poor fellow's room.

- 20:13responsible for everything he has done as any other sane person.
- 20:16Speaker 2: Sort of riddler you ask you homes are you attempting
- 20:19to deny can remise dreams?
- 20:21Speaker 4: Episode of a dog, veil vault, horrible death of that girl.
- 20:24Speaker 5: I'm not offering a riddle, Watson, but it's solution your dreams.
- 20:28Count Romania had one feature which immediately led me to
- 20:30suspect their unnatural origin. You spoke of brilliant colors, of
- 20:34unearthly music, of a distorted sense of space and time,
- 20:38all characteristics of the dreams or more properly, visions induced
- 20:42by the drug cannabis indica more commonly known as Hashish
- 20:46good have. And since you showed none of the signs
- 20:48of the habitual drug taker, it was at once obvious
- 20:51to me that your dreams were being induced by someone else,
- 20:54someone who administered the drug to you in your food
- 20:57or wine on those occasions when they desired you to
- 20:59have one of your hallucinations.
- 21:01Speaker 3: But last night, the girl, the blood blood.
- 21:03Speaker 5: Stains were the final confirmation, if I needed any, that
- 21:06you had not committed the crime. The real killer slipped
- 21:09Badger there. It did not occur to him when smearing
- 21:12the blood upon you in the bedclothes that during a
- 21:14four mile walk from where that poor girl was killed
- 21:17the girl, the blood would have dried upon you and
- 21:20not come off upon the bedclothes. Peter Hallish, have you
- 21:24ever seen an execution in this country? Why do you
- 21:26address me?
- 21:27Speaker 3: What have I to do with all this?
- 21:29Speaker 4: Who?
- 21:29Speaker 5: But you would inherit the Romania title in the States?
- 21:31No No. On the early hours of dawn, the prisoners
- 21:34led out, his hands tied behind him, the priests walking
- 21:37in front of the jailers on each side.
- 21:40Speaker 4: He is led to the stained green flock in.
- 21:42Speaker 5: The center of the prison courtyard, where there stands a
- 21:44giant figure in full evening dress, his hands covered by
- 21:48white gloves, his face masked. It is the execution. Then,
- 21:52as the all is bent forward on the block, the
- 21:54executioner raises his gleaming axe high into the air for
- 21:57the final blow.
- 21:59Speaker 4: Have you ever seen that Peter Hannash show up. I'm inocent,
- 22:02I swear.
- 22:02Speaker 3: Do you think I Judge will believe you. No, he
- 22:05did not do it. He speaks true, which was I
- 22:08you should do nothing to hum heret on you.
- 22:10Speaker 1: Why it is impossible.
- 22:11Speaker 3: I do it for my master and for events, but
- 22:15you never take me alive.
- 22:17Speaker 2: That will.
- 22:21Speaker 5: No need to look out of the window. It's a
- 22:23drop of one hundred feet to the courtyard below, And
- 22:26perhaps it was best it ended that way, because I
- 22:31still don't understand. It's not difficult if you study the
- 22:34fans poor uncon But why did you accuse me owns
- 22:38Anton's fanatic pop to drive the camp to madness or suicide?
- 22:42And as you see you in his place almost succeeded.
- 22:45Mister Hadash. When his sleeve slipped upward and I saw
- 22:48the cut he'd made on his arm to supply the blood.
- 22:51I knew that he was the girl's murderer, But there
- 22:53was only one way by which I could foss the
- 22:55truth from him, and I suspected that his devotion to
- 22:58you was so strong that only an accusation against you
- 23:01would unseal his lips. I hate for the anthem must
- 23:04have nursed since childhood.
- 23:06Speaker 1: I knew that my father had run his family, but
- 23:10I I thought that was all dead and buried history.
- 23:12Speaker 5: Not to a fanatical Carpathian peasant, Count Romeny. Mister Holmes,
- 23:16you've given me back my life by sanity. No, there
- 23:18was never any question of your sanity, Count Romedy. I
- 23:21saw that from the moment you first told me about
- 23:23the story of your dreams, and nevertheless I done the
- 23:25HI can ever thank you properly If you and your
- 23:29cousin will introduce Watson and myself to some of your
- 23:31famous local fishing, I'll consider it thanks enough. And that
- 23:35reminds me, Watson. Would you mind taking down a telegram
- 23:38for me? This little cutter momentarily precludes the use of.
- 23:41Speaker 1: My right telegram, or you'll find the pen and ink
- 23:44on the table there, all right?
- 23:46Speaker 5: Who's it to? Messrs Wilkinson, Wilkinson and Twistle and Dodd
- 23:52raised in London, England will dog for two d's Watson
- 23:56Real Vampires. Gentlemen, I take place in informing you that
- 24:01I have brought the matter of your client, Count Paul
- 24:04Romany to a satisfactory conclusion, trusting to be favored by
- 24:08you with any further such commissions that may arise. I
- 24:12remain your Obegian servant, Sherlock Holmes
