• 0:00
  Speaker 1: It began on a summer evening in nineteen hundred and six.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: I'd been for a long walk in the park. I
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: remember when I returned to Baker Street and entered our rooms,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Holmes looked up at me with a twinkle and.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Spoke positively, glowing without Watson, Well, I have a spiled walk, Manipula.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: He should have come with me. The park was looking
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: particularly beautiful.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Well, Chap joining our absence, I've decided to write another monograph.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Oh, what's the subject?
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Occupational liability to murder? For instance, the immortality rate is
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: naturally high among policemen and detectives. Physicians are murdered with
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: fair regularity, but the murder of a dentist is rare,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: And whoever heard of a murdered veterinary Surgeon's quite true?
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: With what's the occasion for this little homily.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: I've been browsing over my newspaper clippings. Yeah, you would
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: call over hearing of a murdered to baconist, Watson.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: I come so that I know why. And yet my clippings.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Informed me that no less than three tobacconists have been
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: murdered in the past six months, and all the murders
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: have occurred in the same more shop of the eastern
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: to London. Now why were the first three tobacconists would
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: be murdered in the same shop?
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: Come hour for them.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Give me a logical solution to the problem, will you?
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Let me see you say that the shops in.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: The in the east end.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: Yes, is it near the river?
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: As it happens, it's on the water's edge.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: And supposing the tobacconists shop was the headquarters.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Of a smuggling ring, perhaps.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Boxes of cigars were unloaded from the docks and brought
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: to the shop, cigars containing.
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: Pearls or opiumers.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: And what, my dear fellow, you're doing splendidly? I must
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: walk in the park more frequently. You're positive it's sintilating.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Oh no, no, you're you're making fullow.
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: I'll show you. Why'm not?
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: You're expecting anyone?
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Oh no, probably a visitor, missus Hudson. Come on with
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: a fascinating period. Now why are three tobacconists murders?
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Well, because they they know too much, perhaps say the
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Amanda's share and the profits.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: So the head of the ring decides to kill them.
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: Clasped enough on some guy Phillamus. Congratulate them.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: I can see that I'm very lucky in having a
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: biographer with such amation.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: Thanks.
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: Oh, oh, Stana, get to see you. I hope I'm
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: not intruding, not at.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: All made along said down anything remarkable on hand? Oh no, Missholes,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: nothing very particular.
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: Ah, then tell me all about it. Strade.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Can't hide anything from you, can I say? Yes, there
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: is something on my mind and no mistake.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: And it concerns the three murder to Baconists.
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: I see splendid.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: Now that blazy did you know that?
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Yes, your magic.
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: I'll told many what's in It's simple deduction.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Observe the finding the guards peering out of the Strand's

  Speaker 2: restin bucket. They are of a fast superior quality to
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: his usual brand, obviously the scene of his latest investigation.

  Speaker 4: How about you, doctor?
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: Oh?
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: Thank you?
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: The stern about you coronas and.
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: Now inspect done. Tell me about the murder to Paconists.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: Well, how much do you know about the case.
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: That's what I've written, the papers.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: And curiously enough, we were discussing the affair as you
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: walked in the stud It's a strange business, gentlemen. Only
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: got hold of the old story today when I had
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: long talked to young Jack Lungworth.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: He's the owner of the show.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: In relation to Gerald Lungworth, the taller member of Parliament
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: who battled so successfully against the slum Kerrance Bill.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: His son, mister oones, what's nice, young feller too? When
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: his father died he inherited this shop, along with a
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: lot of other property in the East End.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Well, how big a shop.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: It wor just sold in the wall doctor, like all
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the other shops in their part of London. Young mister
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Lungworth tells me, first rents h to a man by
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: the name of George Grillith. He lives there with his
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: daughter Lily, and made it quite a nice go out
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: of the shop. Six months ago, when Jack Lungworth was abroad,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: George grillet has a stroke and nearly kicks the bucket.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: He nearly dies.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: And then what happened, Well, while he's in the hospital,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: his daughter gives up the lease on the shop.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: A few days later and Italian takes it over and
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: a couple of weeks later he's found with his float cut.
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: Did you investigate that first mode of yourself?
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: No, mister Romes, seemed like any of a dozen kiddings
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: we get in their part of London. A shop keeper
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: cut up his tail, emptied, no clue.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Who's the next tenant?
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: A scratchman look by the name of Macintosh. A few
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: weeks after he moved in the same thing happened to
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: him that time. I did go down there, but I
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: couldn't find out nothing.
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: Was Robberie again the palan motive.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir, that the kin wasn't the same, even was
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: strangled with a silk scarf.
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: Silk scarf. And who was the third tenant? The man
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: who was murdered yesterday.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: An indoor fellow, a man by the name of Muka Ge.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: He takes it over a week last Friday, and yesterday
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: we finds him night through the back of his money.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Of course, I was down there before you could say
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Crystal Palace, But once again I didn't find out nothing,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: no knife, no fingerprints on the till, no footprints, just
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: a very dead end. Was young mist along with the
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: landlord in England when these murders occurred, Ye that's the
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: funny thing about it, mister Roes.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: He doctor Tilbury yesterday morning. He didn't know nothing about
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: what had been going on.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I imagine he'd have difficulty in renting the shop.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: After three murders.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: That's just it, doctor, That's why he comes to me
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: at the yard. George Grilli, his first tenant of the shop,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: moved back there today with his daughter Liddy.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: Young mister Long was worried about them.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: If you ask me, he's more worried about that daughter
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: than he is a bad old man, Grillith. So the
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: original tenants of the shop back in residence again day,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: And what do you want me to do?
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: Well?
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: I thought perhaps you'd be interested enough to come along
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: with me and look at the shop, mister and I
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: very glad you, my dear Felope.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: It's courtin had Watson.

• 6:14
  Speaker 5: All right? Did right?
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Is that your brother home?
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: Yes? The strata. I do think you might have told
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: me the whole truth.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: Well, how do you mean, sir?
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: I thought your visit was prompted by a neat for
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: friendly as systems. I didn't realize that you came here
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: virtually on a government.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: Or the world. It wasn't just quite like that.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: It's true the government got to do with the case.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: And how does your brother Micraft into the picture?
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I'm sure yet, But the one thing we may be certain,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: there's obviously a great deal more in this case than
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Astrade would have us believe.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Why do you say that to home?
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: It was better in mind, old fellow, that occasionally Micraft
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: is the British Government.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Nice part of London to take a walk in on
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: a foggy night, anty, gentlemen. All our policemen work down
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: here in pairs, you know, so.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: I don't blame them. It's a vile neighborhood.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: There's the shop just head of us with a sign
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: hanging out. And know there he is again, see that
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: bearded Indo scouting off around the corner. There he's been
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: haunting the place ever since I came down here.
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: A bearded Hindu haunts the place.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Eh, Yes, and yesterday homes the Hindu propartor of the
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: shop was murdered exactly.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: Well, here we are I'll go in first pressing.

  Speaker 3: Look in place.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: That's Lily, George Grilit's daughter. Dulps him with the shop
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: to keep you.
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: Oh, it's you in speculus.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Yes, miss, I brought some gentlemen to see your father.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: This is mister Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson please to
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: meet you. Am sure?

  Speaker 7: No, Inspector, he won't be in till after dinner went

  Speaker 7: down at the docks. He did you see about some
• 8:11
  Speaker 7: cigar shipments?
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: Mister Longley?
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: After you if you want to see him. We were
• 8:16
  Speaker 7: just adding some tea in.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: The back room.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: Yes, I'd like these gentlemen to meet him.
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: Yeah, come out in the shop.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah. What is it, Lily? Oh, Inspector Lestrade and this
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: much with mister Sherlock Holmes and doctor Watson. I'm sure
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: how you do hims along with I'm very glad the
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Inspector was able to persuade you to come down here.
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: Mister Holmes.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I'm batifully worried about this business, particularly.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: Since Lily's father insisted on coming back here.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: I'm afraid they're in great danger, but I can't make
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: mister Grillet see it. Young lady, I wonder if I
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: might ask you a few questions. Of course, mister Jones,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: before your father had his stroke, did you see any
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: threats concerning his occupancy at the shop.
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: Well, if he did, he never told me about him.
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: It wouldn't surprise me. I often tell him his biggest
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: enemy is himself.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: If you know what I mean?
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: Do his grillid?
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: When your father had his illness, who decided to give
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: up the lae on the shop?
• 9:05
  Speaker 7: I did? No money was coming in, and well it
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: looked like Dad might be an invalid for life. Of
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: course I couldn't run the shop by myself anyhow, I
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: never did like this part of London.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: It wasn't the right business for father.
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: What was his reaction when you told him to have
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: given up the lease?
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 9:21
  Speaker 7: He was awful angry with me, said I'd no right
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: to do it without asking him.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: By the way, yet we saw that builded into again
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: as we walked up. Just now.
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: He's been in and around ever since we came back here, Inspector.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Has he actually come into the shop, Miss Grillet, No,
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: but he.
• 9:36
  Speaker 7: Keeps walking by and looking in the window. I'm sure
• 9:39
  Speaker 7: if we both went into the bedroom or left the
• 9:41
  Speaker 7: shop for a little while. Would he'd come right in?
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: Then?
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: I suggest we give him the opportunity you're seeking, Miss Grillard.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: I wonder if you wore miss along with would mind
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: leaving the shop for a while? Of course not, mister Holmes,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: And make your departure rather ostentitious, shall we say, so
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: that he can't help noticing it. Give us half an
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: hour or so and then come back. Perhaps you wouldn't
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: mind going with the mastrade.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: It's true, this is right?
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, I know, I know, But in a situation like this,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Watson and I work much better alone. We may have
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: to go a little outside the law, and your presence
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: might in dallases should never think I was a detective too.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: We'll be back half an hour. Poor, poor, all the
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: stud you get it touches as the usual.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: By I blame him, I'm leaving him completely in the dark.
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: Come on, Watson, behind the counter, No no, no, not
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: under the door, Chap. We lift the flap so I
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: just be clutched down behind here. Come on, that said,
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: have you gone to the father Watson?
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: Yes, it's in my pocket.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Good meantime, make yourself as comfortable as these clamp quarters
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: will permit you may have.
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: I don't wait ahead of us.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Look the clombs men do now the window?
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: Yes, yes, sir, here he comes. All right, Watson, put
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: your hands up.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: I got you covered with this revolver.
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: And now, my man, what are you doing here? Who?
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Who are you? Never mind who I am?
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: Just answer my question. I do not speak very good English.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: From me into standing by sector sick to hi higher.
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: Take me cross the tomorrow bay home Goo?
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: Who comes here? Umara bai from Johnny sector?
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: That's now you don't my man just telling me I
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: don't write watch to let him go? He's an our side.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: I wish you tell me what fun is going on?
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Who that man was, and why you let him go?
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: He's investigated from the Foreign Office Old Chap, given us
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: instructions by my brother Microft Microft.
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: Yes, o, fellow man.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: My brother fails to tell me all effects concerning this case.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: I begin to think these triple murders have far greater
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: ramifications than we ever dreamed of. Doctor Watson's story will
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: continue in just a second, just about time enough for
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: me to mention that any meal becomes a better meal
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: when you serve it with petree wine and say you'll
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: find that Petree California Burgundy and Petrie California So Turned
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: are just made to go with food. That Petri Burgundy
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: is a rich red wine that's bosom pals with.
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: Any meat or meat dish.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Boy, what a flavor. And that Petrie So Turned is
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: the delicate white wine that's just perfect with chicken or
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: with fish.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: Yes, there with food.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: You just can't feed our good Petree wine. And now
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: back to tonight's you Sherlock Holmes Adventure. A puzzling case
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: is occupying the attentions of Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Three murders have taken place in a small tobacconist shop
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: in the East end of London. As we rejoin our story,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: it's late at night and Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: accompanied by Inspector Lestrade, are once again walking toward the hill.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Fadd Star, Well, I don't see that you've accomplished much,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: mister Olmes, except that you just bought me a nice.
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: Dinner, making progressless rand.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: If everybody the elimination of obvious suspects that there's a
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: pattern to this case and that should give us a clue.
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: How do you mean home.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Hello, consider the obvious motive of these murders, and particularly
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: observed the results they obtained for the motive.

  Speaker 1: Ah, you inspector these gentlemen, mister Sherrick Holmes and doctor Watts.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: Did you meet young Lily?
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: Yes?
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Now, she told her she was going after the music
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: or mister Long. Word yes, I'm afraid we had quite
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: a set to about that. A very strong willed girl, Lily,
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: very strong will And i'd assume that you disapprove of
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: your daughter's association with mister Lungworth.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: Of course I do.
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: He's a top, he's got lots of money. That is
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: so blanche you can't see that he's up to no good.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: He's afraid I might find out what's really.
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: At the back of these ere murders.
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: And what is your theory, sir Well, I'll tell you
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: this inconfidence, got nothing to back it up now. I
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: understand there's been talk of widening the docks around here,
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: that it makes property values go up, you see. Of course,
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: young Long, we's been trying to buy up all the
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: other shops along the waterfront here, but they wouldn't sell if.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: You ask me.
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: He's had these murders done just a fastend people away
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: so that they he could buy cheap.
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: I'm not saying that he.
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: Did the murders himself, you understand, but he planned them.
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: And these part is easy enough any night to get
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: a throat cut for a couple of quid.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: That's why I'm glad.
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: You're ear Jance. You see I I just got another
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: warning warning? What do you mean to war on this note?
• 16:00

  Speaker 5: Possibly what's the time? Now it's past it?
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: I was open you gentlemen, would wait in our rooms

• 16:49

• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Don't you worry about us?
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Will oh?

  Speaker 6: I better turn up the gas. If this bloke spot
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: the light under the door in here, he might smell

  Speaker 6: a rat.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Uh.

• 17:22
  Speaker 5: Be the back of all this.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: You're listening home along with knows that Rilette doesn't approve
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: of his having into the du Lil, so when he
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: goes abroad.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: He leaves instructions to murder the tobacconists. The assassins don't
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: know about let having a stroke, of course, so they
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: keep murdering the wrong follow Well, that makes very good sense, doctor.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: What do you say, mister Jones?

  Speaker 1: gone away?
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: Aren't can serve your energy?
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: The murderer lies there, But that's really of course it
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: is such as pockets bots and I think you'll find
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: a blood stained knife said.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Look, uh, good lord here's a razor in his pocket.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: It's covered with blood. Do you mean to say that
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: he slashed himself.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: I stept the handcuffs on him in the stride while
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: he's still play acting. He may be more difficult to
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: handle when he realizes the game's up.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Very well, I've knocked your wounded men and out cold.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Perhaps you'll tell me what's going.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: On, mister O.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: Yes, I'm complete in the dark too.
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: Oh, it's very simple.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Really, Brillitt has just staged a fake attack on himself,
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: pull us into believing that someone else is.
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: The murderer's threatening composed by.
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: Himself for the occasion.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: But we heard voices, We heard the shop door open.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: We heard Grillat talking to himself and asked the shop door.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: That's how he gave himself away. How do you mean,
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: mister Olmes.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Whenever the shop door opens, there's a bell a jangles.
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: So that's right, there is jangle.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: When we were in the back, Roun Brillet cuts in
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: there the door on us unobtrusively.
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: And staged his little drama.
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: Which but we heard the door creak open and close.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Mistro, the creak of this flap in the counter would
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: sound exactly the same my defelon Anderson.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: Yes, but why Holmes, how did you spotted Grillet was
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: a man?
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: It was obvious from the beginning that, since nothing had
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: changed about the shop except the ownership of the attackers
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: were directed against any tobacconist who was not Grillet himself.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Of course, his daughter Lily obviously knew what was going on.
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: Well, I don't see how you figure that one out,
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: mister Owe.
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: Every remark that.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: She made so that although she loved her father, she
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: knew his failings. In any case, she gave me the
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: final clue. Oh what clue was that in very pointedly
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: asking me not to go into the back room of
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: the shop.
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: Of course she meant the reverse of what she said.
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: I followed her advice.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: When you were explaining our theory to this child, What
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: did you find, mister Rows, Miss Grillet had obligingly left
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: the secret door open, a door leading to a passageway
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: that seemed to go down to the waterfront.
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: Would examine it more foorowly in a minute.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: But I still don't understand Let's motive homes.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Either the wrial chap nor I suspect that from the
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: interest of the foreign office in the case, this shop
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: has been the headquarters of a of an espionage ring.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: I'm afraid the final answer to that question would have
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: to be given by someone else, Oh, by my elder brother.
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: And my craft humiliating, isn't it? Watson?
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: And what was the final answer to the question, Doctor
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: w Holmes, his writer's usual, mister Foreman, The shop had
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: been the headquarters of aspiring operated by Grilleth, and many
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: international criminals had been smuggled in England or foreign ships
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: mowed up the river.
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: And did mister grill And hang for his crime?
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: No, no he didn't, my boy, for he came to trial,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: he had another stroke and he died.
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: Probably just as well for his daughter's sake.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: Oh, his daughter a lovely girl.
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: Did she marry long way?
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Indeed she did, As a matter of fact, I answered
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: her wedding. It was a very wonderful wedding reception. It

  Speaker 1: would have been there yourself, mister Foreman. In fact, you
• 21:59

  Speaker 2: family really knows all there is to know about the
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: fine art of turning luscious sun ripe and grapes into fragrant,
• 22:19
