  Speaker 1: And now doctor Watson, supposing we get back to her
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Majesty's diamond jubilee and the gentleman who tried to spoil
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: the celebration.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Yes, well, all London was on fate, mister Hannis.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: The festivities were endless garden parties, concerts, parades.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: The entire city was in a holiday mood. Or but
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: my friend Sherlock Holmes.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: He had drawn the blinds to shut out the brilliant
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: spring sunshine and lay moping on the sofa, mostly pulling
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: apart the tassels of.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: His ancient dressing gown.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Oh, for heaven's sake, homes back up and stop strewing
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: bits of silk all over the carpet.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: You look as if you were molting.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Everyone else's overjoyed at the celebrations, even alone.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: I'm having my own private celebration.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: H What are you celebrating in this particularly lugubrious fashion?
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Watson, you realize it's just six years since Professor Morriotty
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: and I pushed each other into the writing back falls
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: him back.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: But you're not going to tell me you're sorry. You
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: finally rich society of that monster.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: No, I suppose not, but think what an occasion of
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: this sort would have meant to him. Theaters and ballrooms
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: fairly dripping with jewels, intrigue and cabals on every street corner.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: But a veritable Eldorado for a master criminal like Professor Moriarty.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: And what's happened? Nothing?
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Absolutely nothing. Well, you make your Scotland Yard some credit.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: They have been working night and day to protect the
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: holidaymakers Scotland Yard.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: How would Scotland Yard have prevailed against a mastermind like Mariarty? Yes,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the one antagonist I ever found who was my mental
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: equal army.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: You forget. If you hadn't finished him, he'd have finished you.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: You ought to thank you like his tars, he's gone
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: instead of moping about like a dying duck.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: And see what it is, Watson, that's a good fellow.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: In activity, that's rather that's wrong with you, homes, if
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: you've engaged in any normal occupation. Yes, there's a letter
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: for you, homes. Miss Hanson says it was delivered.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: By hand, probably some female whose pet poodle is a
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: lope with someone else's spaniel.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: I'm not interested.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Purple letter paper, addressed in a large scrawling hand. There's
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: a strange sort of crisscross in the upper left hand corner.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Of the envelope. What's that, Watson, give me that envelope? Well,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: all right, you needn't snatch it out of my hand.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: By all that's holy, that's not a double crisscross. It's
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: a letter, m Watson. It's Professor Moriarty's handwriting.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, you're off your head, Holmes.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: This little Mariarty business has become an obsession.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: A hei feis.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: You'd better go out in the fresh air and get
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: some exercise, or you'll be imagining that.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: You see, Watson and listen to this to the world's
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: greatest detective, mister Sherlock Holmes. Warning, at least he doesn't
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: underrate me, Watson, Oh, go to blazes. You will doubtless
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: be astounded to learn. I am alive. I managed to
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: survive our little personal encounter in Switzerland, not without sustaining
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: physical damage which kept me in the hospital for over
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: a year. The remainder of the time which has intervened
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: since we last met, has been spent in building myself
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: a new organization. You've destroyed my last one, If you remember,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: I shall not soon forgive you for that. You doubtless
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: look on yourself as society's protector.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: You are wrong. I like that, don't it? To rout Watson.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: The more I am thwarted, the greater is my thirst
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: for revenge on society. I have held my hand long enough.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: From the day forward, look out for me. I shall
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: begin this afternoon by staging a daring jewel robbery in
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the strand. Tonight a certain lady at the command performance
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: in Albert Hall will lose her famous emeralds. Tomorrow, and
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: the day after I shall perpetrate some new outrage.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: He's ranting like a madman.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: And last, but not least, you and your colleague doctor
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Watson will be.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Put out of the way.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I take pleasure in advising you of the fact that
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: your hepatudinous friend Dr Watson will be the first to go.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Signed Mariarty. So I'm a bit of first. He doesn't
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: fight me, the old babbelheaded blow hard. Oh, I say, home, sir,
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: what is hebitudinous?
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Hebitudinous, my dear Watson means rather blunted mentally?
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Oh it does does it? What's happening out a hall
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: to night? Watson?
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: I believe it's a concert bad and in a petty
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: everyone will be there.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: You ain't thinking of attending. I suppose why not, Watson?
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Why not?
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: You might tell missus Hudson to shake the camphor out
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: of our evening clothes. I wonder if I have a
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: clean stiff shirt.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Oh dash it. All these seems to be the difficulty, Watson.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Oh everything shrank my collar, my waist, could even my
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: evening pumps. Why is it when anything's laid away in
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: muffballs for a few months and inevitably comes out of
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: size smaller.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: It couldn't be because you've grown a size larger.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: I suppose. Oh, shut up right there? You see? You
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: see what happens when I lose my temper? What? I
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: just popped another button?
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I suggest you to send to the kitchen and allarm
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: missus Hudson to repair the damage.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: No, now what it sounds like one of your confounded clients.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Don't worry.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I'll get rid of him in short order. I better
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: take the backstairs down to the kitchen. Watson, you don't
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: want to be brought in a disarray in case the
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: client is a lady who good Lord, the flowers that
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: bloom in the spring trailer come in, mister Holmes, Mister
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Sherlock Holmes, yes, I have Hector Pumfret of Pumfret, Pumfort
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: and Smock. We are the best known duel as in London,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: mister Holmes, by appointment to His Highness, the Prince of Wales.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: No less, of course, of course you have a shop
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: in the strand and you've just been robbed.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: But mister Holmes, how did you know it happened less
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: than an hour ago?
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: My dear mister Pumfret, I have rather special sources of information.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: It's incredible I haven't informed anyone, not even the police.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: You see, some of the stolen jewels weren't my property.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Lady Biddlesburg's pearls, for instance, as she said, would be restrung.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Then, of course the great Burmese ruby I had upon consignment, I.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Practically sold it to that wealthy mister Comps Jones from Denver,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: who it will ruin my business if they about recover. Pity,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: But it's out frazeous that such a thing should be
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: allowed to happen in a civilized country, and in broad daylight.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: What's happened in broad day strake? Where did you come from?
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: And what in thunder you mean? Bursting in honest like this,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: mister Pomfret, I.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: Understand you've been burgled. I've come to see about it.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: I'm inspectorless charade of Scotland yard. Well, I don't want
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: you to go away. You may not rot me, mister Pomfret,
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: but your partner, mister Smart does. He's the one that
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: sent for me. He telled me where you'd popped off to,
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: so I came round to make sure you didn't get
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: any bad advice.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Thank you, lestrade for the vote of confidence. And now
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I suppose you sit here quietly. Well, mister Pomfret tells
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: me just what occurred where mister Holmes. I was in
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: the shop alone, it was getting late and I was
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: about to lock up when a nice, respectable Youngish man
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: walked in the door. He wore a Prince Albert, carried
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: a silver headed Malaco stick, a small plato, and had
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: just the suggestion of.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: A limp.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Pardon me or mitt Hamfred. I believe the thing I
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: could do for you, sir. I want the pot of
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: locking up, but if there's.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Anything you want to not a crystal of my watch.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: I'm a doctor who saying my watch is a rather
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: important bit of equipment.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: In madrafer.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Of course, I asked them, well, how if we have
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: a crystal to fit, if you don't mind waiting a moment,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: not at all.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: I had him red myself by looking at the handsome
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: baubles in this showcase. More than baubles, I assure you,
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: mister Watson, Dr Watson, well that ruby in the middle
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: is worth a king's ransom. As they say, yes, here
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: we are this crystal's perfect fifth.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Just as likely the pressures so and there we are.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Did you watch, doctor Watson? The charge to be too
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: shill keep.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: The watches served his purpose. I prefer the ruby.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: The other bables you can beck, or you'll be cut
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: by flying cloff for doctor Watson put down my case.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Well stop him, I've been robbed. Stop me, stop quick.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: As a flack of contents of the showcase ran out.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: The door and was lost in the crowds, showing no
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: signs of a limp. I take it, mister comfort, Why
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: no stones the lips certainly wasn't evidence. He ran out
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: of the shop leaving his watch, and yes, I brought
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: it with me. I've heard you can deduce a man's
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: in time history from his watch. Whether it is interesting
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: very interesting.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: The thing that interested me about mister Pomford's story was
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: the thief's name, Watson, Doctor Watson, my dear lestrade.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: You don't suppose any jewel thief is going to be
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: foolish enough to give his right name.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: I'm not so sure. What did he? Plager's a Potford, Oh,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Not bad hype, military mustache, slightly green at the temples.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think that a hold. If I
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: don't take a deep breath, I'm sorry.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Well, as a matter of fact, the thief looked very
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: much like Oh no by Joe.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: He was this gentleman who just came in. What thief
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: you're talking about now? Oh?
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: We're evening in the star House, a Scotland Yards prize
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: watch dogger homes my watch.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Where on earth did you find.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Where you left the doctor Watson in my shop when
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: you smashed my showcase and made off with the Burmese ruby.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Doctor mentioned Lady Biddleswod's pearls. It was what the man
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: raving about. You didn't know, so you turned thief, Dr Watson.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: This association with Sherlock Elves is responsible, no doubt. I've
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: already suspected you do out both side the street.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Once it is all about Hermes. Has everyone gone mad?
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I think I can explain the confusion.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Watson. You'll not talk your way out of it this time.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: Mister shirlack Elms, we've got the goods on your friend,
• 9:12

• 9:22
  Speaker 1: fool than the Lord intended.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: It's also perfectly simple. Here.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Read this letter I received this morning and see if
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: you can comprehend what danger.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: We're really in. It'll take more than a letter.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Shut up and read it now, then, Watson, when did
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: you first miss your watch?
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Let me see it? But it was this morning when

  Speaker 3: the bureau, I sometimes, do you know?
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: No, Watson, you took it with you. Remember you told
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: me you were about to leave? Yes, right, so I did.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Then how did you get here? The watch was lifted

• 10:10
  Speaker 2: can give me an alibi, homes that's really easy coats.

• 10:16
  Speaker 2: She spent the.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Afternoon letting out Dr Watson's dress shirt and fitting it

  Speaker 1: communication from Professor Moriarty this morning.

  Speaker 1: you too, you know, Lestrade, go on, I shall arise betimes.

  Speaker 1: At two Darnis Traphagen's famous cameos will be missing. At
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: four Mortimer Brewster, the American millionaire, will find it convenient
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: to pay me one hundred thousand pounds to cover up

  Speaker 1: a few little irregularities in his shipping business. Then I
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: shall go home for a bit of a nap, a
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: late dinner and then the grand finale.

  Speaker 1: shall blow the whole place to kingdom. Come until then,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: au Revoir signed Mariotti.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: He's joking, of course he must be joking.
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: Blow up the palace, good lord, it's unthinkable at it.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: It's a nightmare.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: It's worse than that Lustrant. It could very well be
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: the twilight of the gods for the British Empire.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: Your joking, homes I was never more serious in my
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: entire life.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Come in, Inspector Lestraza Scotlandyard sent me.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: They thought you ought to know what Albert and straighten
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: your tuni Here, sir.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: The Sailors and Merchants banks has been robbed, and the
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Merchants guild all has been set afires. You can't very
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: well blame Watson for those calamities.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Lastrant. Maybe we should have locked you up to elf,
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: But there's something else. What's that?
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Albert A mister Pomfret, Sir, mister Rector Pomfret was found
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: tied up this flat when his CHARLIEY come to work.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: This morning, said, good Lord said, he says he's been
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: tied up since you went home to dress for the
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: concert last night. But he was at the concert. I
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: saw it with the own two eyes.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: No, Lestrade, you saw someone who impersonated Hector Pomfret, the
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: same man who earlier impersonated doctor Watson. I suspect I
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: was pretty sure it wasn't Pomfret himself. When he arrived
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: so promptly, he hadn't had time to change, you though,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: And then when I saw his ears, I was certain
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: his ears what they ought to do with it? A
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: good makeup can disguise any feature except ears. The ears
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: on the man who escorted Missus de Coumsey Jones were
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: not the ears I'd noticed on mister Pumfret earlier in
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: the day.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Whose ears were they dispose?
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: I rather imagine they belonged to Professor Mariotti. I'm convinced
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: he spent the last few years studying the art of.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Disguise, But then we wouldn't know him if we ran
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: into him. I would lestard.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: I should be looking for his ears to night at
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: the ball at Buckingham Palace. But do you think you
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: could manage to release Watson.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: In time to accompany me. I hate to carry my
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: own folver. It destroys the fits to one's evening clothes.
• 18:01
