- 0:05Speaker 1: Doctor Watson, you've entitled to Night's story, the Adventure of
- 0:08Speaker 1: the Blood Salt Wagon. Why why it must have been
- 0:11Speaker 1: a hideous spectam.
- 0:13Speaker 2: It was, mister Harris began one awful night in the
- 0:16Speaker 2: fall of eighteen ninety nine on the outskirts of London,
- 0:20Speaker 2: on a vast, desolate meadow in the dead of night,
- 0:24Speaker 2: a huge series of bonfires was blazing, surrounded by the
- 0:28Speaker 2: silhouettes of armed men. Some men were shoveling what seemed
- 0:31Speaker 2: to be piles of paper into the flames. Others stood
- 0:34Speaker 2: about revolvers at the sizes. Holmes had invited me to
- 0:38Speaker 2: meet him at the gateway to the meadow. Well, so,
- 0:42Speaker 2: sir enough, why have you asked me to come out
- 0:44Speaker 2: here at this sar? What is this weird ceremony?
- 0:47Speaker 3: I had no doubt you find it most intriguing, my
- 0:49Speaker 3: dear Watson, lest what is it? You know? Our British
- 0:52Speaker 3: bank notes become dirty and mutilated from constant use.
- 0:55Speaker 2: Of course, the.
- 0:56Speaker 3: Bank of England periodically calls in such currency and replaces
- 1:00Speaker 3: the old banknotes with new issues. The old currency is
- 1:03Speaker 3: then destroyed by fire.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Then what those men are shoveling into the fires is
- 1:07Speaker 2: currency exactly astonishing their burning fortunes. But Holmes, why are.
- 1:13Speaker 3: You here the bank? Watson, foresighted as ever, realizes that
- 1:17Speaker 3: this operation has its dangers. If anything were to go wrong,
- 1:20Speaker 3: the financial stability of the empire would be gravely threatened. Therefore,
- 1:24Speaker 3: they invited me to be present, stating that they'd feel
- 1:26Speaker 3: more secure. Their sentiment was easily understood, and the invitation
- 1:30Speaker 3: quickly accepted.
- 1:31Speaker 2: A fascinating operation.
- 1:33Speaker 3: This wagon the forest, for instance, it's typical three men
- 1:37Speaker 3: on it, the driver and two guards.
- 1:38Speaker 4: All armed.
- 1:39Speaker 2: Those others carrying the bundles from the wagon.
- 1:41Speaker 3: Or they've removed the lower denomination bundles, the very highest
- 1:44Speaker 3: value notes still remain in the wagon.
- 1:46Speaker 2: Yes, I see, they'll be extra cautious now. I imagine
- 1:48Speaker 2: you see the driver's taking out his revolved The guards
- 1:51Speaker 2: are going to step down, Holmes. The driver shot the guards.
- 1:55Speaker 2: It looks as if these killed bundle them. Yes, Watson,
- 1:57Speaker 2: good lord, he's driving off up.
- 2:05Speaker 3: You want a man fire wagon?
- 2:11Speaker 2: The wagon homes, but not the driver after him, Watson,
- 2:13Speaker 2: the carriage I came in homes. We can use that
- 2:15Speaker 2: as over there. Come off the driver about I told
- 2:17Speaker 2: him to way so difficult to find a cab out here. Yes, sir,
- 2:20Speaker 2: he is driver. We want to puddle that wagon.
- 2:23Speaker 5: Drive my fine, no carriage after that madman me drive
- 2:27Speaker 5: after him, says we can all have our hedge blown up.
- 2:29Speaker 3: Perhaps this will change your mind. Five yes, there's five
- 2:34Speaker 3: more if we catch that wagon. Hal the war gentlemen quickly,
- 2:37Speaker 3: man quickly, right up, set up here.
- 2:51Speaker 2: But who can the steamsh murder be home?
- 2:53Speaker 3: I have no idea Watson, except that his name is
- 2:56Speaker 3: Robert something. I distinctly heard him call to his horses.
- 2:59Speaker 3: Get up from master Robert. If Robert was clever, he
- 3:03Speaker 3: knew it had be black as pitch along this road.
- 3:04Speaker 3: He's doused his wagon lights. Faster, driver, fastery, this is
- 3:08Speaker 3: the best weekend those We must catch up with him.
- 3:11Speaker 3: That insane criminal is racing across the countryside with two
- 3:14Speaker 3: corpses and thousands of pounds of currency.

- 3:18Speaker 2: as but how the nose will recorded? The warning will
- 3:20Speaker 2: be out, yes.
- 3:21Speaker 3: Just as in counterfeit currency. But it's impossible to prevent
- 3:24Speaker 3: Roberts using it anywhere in the world. He can find
- 3:27Speaker 3: countless persons who won't know that the currency is invalid,
- 3:29Speaker 3: and it isn't counterfeit in manufacture, it's genuine.
- 3:32Speaker 2: I have in my service revolver homes. But if we
- 3:34Speaker 2: do find the bloodsoak wagons, Driver of the raids, how

- 4:10Speaker 2: Stand at the dancing lady. Driver, Yes, sir. Perhaps Roberts
- 4:15Speaker 2: hitting his wagon behind the inn the head homes. He
- 4:17Speaker 2: might be stalking about with his revolver, waiting to dispose
- 4:20Speaker 2: of anyone who's followed him in Perhaps that whoa hey.

- 10:50Speaker 6: He could a job and a circus down a road,
- 10:52Speaker 6: buton't no use.
- 10:53Speaker 3: This wagon was driven by a criminal. Aiding him constitutes

- 11:00Speaker 3: enough an honest surely someone with the prison pallor has
- 11:02Speaker 3: pronounced as yours. It's familiar with the law. Shall we
- 11:05Speaker 3: escort you to the police as a suspect. Shall we
- 11:08Speaker 3: examine your pockets, for instance, where we'd find currency, it'd
- 11:12Speaker 3: be a special type. I imagine he did dirty stolen
- 11:16Speaker 3: by the driver of that wagon, and presented it was

- 14:57Speaker 3: The air to the bread what passed him? Axiously, there's
- 15:03Speaker 3: a dead shot. Walk toward the woods and keep watching him.
- 15:07Speaker 2: Just a few more steps of rage.
- 15:11Speaker 3: He's looking this way for mind.
- 15:13Speaker 2: Walk on, he's losing a dot, stirring at us.
- 15:18Speaker 3: Where past his range? Now over the ropes, across the
- 15:21Speaker 3: road to the woods. Rump. It's not much life, Watson,
- 15:33Speaker 3: just the moon pick foliage. It's clearing a head. I
- 15:38Speaker 3: see water. Yes, there's the Thames.
- 15:41Speaker 2: There's the Thames.
- 15:42Speaker 3: Stand away. You are about it. You've let us most
- 15:46Speaker 3: intriguing chase Robert here to this river bank.
- 15:50Speaker 6: You're going to die now, don't know.
- 15:52Speaker 3: You're waiting for a small boat day, Robert, with your
- 15:55Speaker 3: dreams in those great parcels. If your feet the stolen currency,
- 16:00Speaker 3: the boat will be headed across the river to fresh horses.
- 16:02Speaker 3: I presume you want to live to spread an alarm.
- 16:04Speaker 6: You don't ask my whereabout? You're going to die like
- 16:07Speaker 6: the two gods.
- 16:09Speaker 2: I still have my revolving you, Sae. We must stop him.
- 16:11Speaker 3: Oh, we have a moment, Watson. Robert must wait for
- 16:14Speaker 3: the boat and for his masters.
- 16:16Speaker 2: Master, what do you know of that?
- 16:17Speaker 3: A great deal? You must be joined by the man
- 16:19Speaker 3: who defines this scheme, your employer.
- 16:22Speaker 2: Who is the innkeeper, the vagabond? Someone back of the middle.
- 16:25Speaker 3: There someone no Watson ahead of this operation, has been
- 16:28Speaker 3: with us ever since this chase began. He's what the
- 16:31Speaker 3: man behind this criminal maneuver. It's the driver of our carriage, Watson,
- 16:35Speaker 3: our drive. He's not an ordinary carriage driver, however, not
- 16:37Speaker 3: an ordinary criminal. This clime is the brainchild of the
- 16:41Speaker 3: one man for whose powers I have a certain degree
- 16:44Speaker 3: of respect, the most dangerous man in England, Professor Moriarty.
- 16:52Speaker 5: You again justified life faith in your cause of deduction.
- 16:56Speaker 3: Homes pleasant to reach you by your correct name, Mariotti.
- 17:00Speaker 3: I see you, but dropped your disguise.
- 17:02Speaker 5: It's no longer necessary. Robert will now kill both of you.
- 17:08Speaker 3: I admit to having been deceived earlier. Mariarty but you
- 17:12Speaker 3: committed an error too. I as we left you at
- 17:16Speaker 3: the carriage by the fair gate, you referred to this
- 17:18Speaker 3: man as Robert Sylvester. No one mentioned or even knew
- 17:22Speaker 3: this chap's last name, but you did. It meant that
- 17:24Speaker 3: our driver had a direct connection with the estate criminal.
- 17:27Speaker 3: At the same moment, I realized that this was my
- 17:29Speaker 3: first opportunity to night to look at our driver. Firstly,
- 17:33Speaker 3: under the fair bright lights, Witch Watson, admire, and.
- 17:36Speaker 2: You saw through my disguise.
- 17:38Speaker 3: There precisely a superb I dear to be the carriage
- 17:42Speaker 3: driver who brought Watson to the meadow. You could observe
- 17:45Speaker 3: every effort to apprehend Robert.
- 17:46Speaker 5: It is an inspiration, I thought. One commits a crime,
- 17:52Speaker 5: yet one is with the forces of law as they
- 17:54Speaker 5: seek to sulm the crime. Delightful experience for me, it
- 17:58Speaker 5: appeased my appetite for new adventures in the world being
- 18:04Speaker 5: you see the lights of our boat approaching one.
- 18:07Speaker 2: Robert, You're killed, Doctor.
- 18:09Speaker 5: Watson, and Hose, now empty your revolver into those two.
- 18:14Speaker 4: Yes, ready, Robert, ready.
- 18:19Speaker 5: I have always warned you, Hose, that the ultimate triumph
- 18:23Speaker 5: in our years of combat.
- 18:26Speaker 3: Would be mine. Oh there you are the constable from
- 18:29Speaker 3: the circuses.
- 18:31Speaker 2: I haven't home, No stay where you are on? What
- 18:33Speaker 2: would nurse? This all about?
