• 0:00
  Speaker 1: And doctor Watson Flory, Well, mister Bell the story.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: It began on a certain September afternoon in tell More
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: years ago, and I'd like to admit Holmes and I
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: were seated in our Baker Street lodgings, having returned a
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: few hours previously from a much needed holiday in Devonshire.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Though I clipped prood far from RESTful, as far as
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: I was concerned, I could see that the change had
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: worked wonders.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: For my old friend. There was a distinct touch of
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: color in.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: His usually pale face, and you better sparkle in his
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: eye that he was happy to be back in harness
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: as he sat there skimming through the letters that had
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: accumulated during its tap.
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: Watson, has it ever occurred to you that the entire
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: course of history might have been changed, probably for the better,
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: if paper and ink had never been invented or rubbish?
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: It's good to be back in Baker Street again.
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: Ay Holmes, Hm, Yes, back to the routine of stupid
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: letters from stupid people. After two peaceful weeks at the seaside, peaceful.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: And you spent most of your time solving the problem
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: of the lifeguard Calabash and the dying nurse made merely
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: a routine matter Watson, though it did have its points
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: of interest.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Anything startling in this morning's post.
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: The usual trivialities. The Duke of Grennoch suspects the Duchess
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: of planning to Elope with the under footmen.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Knowing the Duke. I can't say that I blame her.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: Quite doesn't anyone use imagination and committing crimes anymore? Ah?
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: This looks more promising.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: What is it?
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: Home, h I shall present my problem to you at
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: three o'clock tomorrow afternoon song as three now? And the
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: letters dated yesterday.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Sound particularly promising to me? Who's it from? It?
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: Simply signed Ferdinand and odd Holmes.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: It might be royalty only raiding monarchs signed themselves to
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: strangers simply by their first names.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: If you're referring to Ferdinand of Spain, he's dead.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: You know, pulling well if still, I can't recall a
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Ferdinand on any current European.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: Throw, now can I? And yet there is a certain
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: tone of royal peremptor in this and the phrasing.
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: There's a front door objactly three o'clock that could be him?
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: Now is while missus Hudson answers the door suppose we
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: have another look at this note, expensive paper written with
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: a quill pen, and the presumably august scribe was unfortunate
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: enough to get a smear of ink on the outer
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: side of her right little finger.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Now do you say her right little finger?
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: So a woman's writing? Oh, come in, Yes, missus Hudson,
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: you have a.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Visit to mister Jones.
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: And she's gonna we dog with us.
• 2:35
  Speaker 7: She said you might be.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: Where are Missushudson?
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Shut up?
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Plays yes, woman and a wee dog, and here we
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: are waiting for royalty.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: Watson and I have sometimes observed a distinctly snobbish strain
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: in you, most regrettable in these democratic days.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Democratic girl, you concern the normal.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Life roles.
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: Comes you.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Dear dear man. Oh, I've had so much about you.
• 3:00
  Speaker 7: I suppose you're wondering who I am?
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: Naturally, Madam, sit down, won't JOm? I I introduce my friend,
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: doctor Watson. How do you do?
• 3:07
  Speaker 7: I'm Missus Flampton, Missus James Fampton. That's the Buckingham Shell.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Frampton's, you know.
• 3:12
  Speaker 7: And I traveled all the way up here with Darling
• 3:15
  Speaker 7: little Thursly do trains, don't you see that?
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: By the way, missus Frenton, would you mind telling me
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: why you signed your note? Ferdinand? Why, mister Holmes, whatever
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: makes you think.
• 3:26
  Speaker 7: I wrote your note?
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: Among other things the slight trace of an ink stain
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: on your right little finger.
• 3:31
  Speaker 7: Oh dear, it's so simple when you explain it, isn't
• 3:36
  Speaker 7: it right? Well, since you're so clever, I did write
• 3:39
  Speaker 7: that note, but only the Coustudinandia asked me to. Just
• 3:44
  Speaker 7: the darling dictated it all by himself, he said, And
• 3:50
  Speaker 7: I had wrote it all done for.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: God writing note doloner.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: Think Missus Fenton, that if your dog has any problems,
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: a veterinary sarch and would be the logical person to
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: come song. Oh dear, now you've upset him.
• 4:04
  Speaker 7: He's so terribly sensitive, Doctor Watson. I wonder if you'd
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: mind taking him out for a little roar for me.
• 4:11
  Speaker 7: I'd much rather he was out.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: Of the way.
• 4:13
  Speaker 7: When I tell mister Holmes a dying he's so human,
• 4:16
  Speaker 7: you know, I'm quite sure he understands every word I say.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: Oh please, doctor, can't you see the little fellows dying?
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: For some man? I think a little walk would do
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: you both well?
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Come along, you will reply little for alcohol.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: And now Missus Prampton, May I ask what has brought
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: you to see me where mister Holmes.
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: Two weeks ago one of the thirties gold collars were stolen,
• 4:43
  Speaker 7: and a week after that he was sent back to
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: me with a very strange note.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: You have the note with you?
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: Yes? Is?
• 4:48
  Speaker 7: It's here in my purse? Put your hands up, mister Holmes.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: Well that's right. Do you mind pointing out revolver another way?
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: Missus Brampton.
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: I have no intention of pointing it another way. Further More,
• 5:00
  Speaker 7: you'd be astonished at my skill in using it, not
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: at all.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: Oh, when a woman has the audacity to call on
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: me with the outline of a revolver plainly visible through
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: the side of her purse, I naturally assume she is
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: able to use it. You knew I was armed, and
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: I regret to say that sometimes my curiosity overcomes my caution.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: And I was very curious as that the purpose of
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: the ridiculous rules of the letter writing dark. I still am.
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: You'll very soon see. Go and sit in that upright
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: chair at the desk there, mister Holmes. I assure you
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: I won't hesitate to use this revolver.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: Go over to that chair. Very well.
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: Sit down in it with your back to me.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: That's it.
• 5:40
  Speaker 7: I was admiring these handcuffs on your little piece.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: They'll do very well to fasten you to the chair.
• 5:46
  Speaker 7: Put your hands behind you.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: Thank you. What's the game, missus penton daylight?
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Robbery?
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Or murder?
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: If you don't help me, you realize that my friend
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: is liable to come back at any more.
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: Oh no, mister Holmes, that beastly dog was a deliberate
• 6:03
  Speaker 7: device to separate you and your friends. A colleague of
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: mine will see that doctor Watson has taken care of
• 6:07
  Speaker 7: as soon as he gets outside. And now, mister Holmes,
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: I do hope you're not going to be too difficult.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Come along, you stupid creature. You don't have to stiff
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: ever it.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Come on playing nursemaid to pick and es if I
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: don't run in genlemen, I know, Come along, little Brook,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Come on, you got match?
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: You're half a nice little dog Gardner?
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: What's his name?
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: His name?
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Never mind?
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: You'll?
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Why are you? Tom?
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Will? Put on that?
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: Madam? If you just tell me what you're looking for,
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: I'll be delighted to tell you where to find it.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: There's no sense in messing all my files up. I
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: want your records of the Rothier case in the third
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: draw of this cabinet.
• 7:16
  Speaker 7: Oh, well here we are, then, O P. Random Rothier.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: Well thank you, mister Sherla Holmes. Ah, there's the rescue party, said,
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: can't be doctor Watson, a feeble to.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Take care of him.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: Doctor Watson has resources that might surprise you. Sometimes they
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: surprise even me.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Well I've got.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Right, Holmes, I had the most amazing experiences.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: You were set upon by a ruffian in the street.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: He'll ask for I match and then uh, oh.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: You know elementary, My dear Watson. Now please get the
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: key off the mantel piece and unlocked these handcuffs. Good
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: heavens who trust you up like the missus Prampton at
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: Revolver Point.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: You see, who hadn't made me guard with that si
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: little dog, you.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: Would never have revealed her purpose in coming here, Watson.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: The whole thing was a plot to gain access to
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: my files on the Rothier case.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Rothier case.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: Why hurry up with that key, will your chaps?
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Of course there you are. I say, how did that
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: woman get out?
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: Obviously down the back stairs, as you didn't pass on
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: the front. I assumed her acomplice got away too.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: Yes, you wouldn't have. I hadn't tripped up over the
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: dog leash.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: I left the sylttle beast downstairs, Missus Hudson.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: Suppose we see if our caller took anything of any consequence.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: But Holmes, why should anyone go to such fantastic lengths
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: to steal the file on a criminal case that happened
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: years ago?
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: That's what we have to find out. You will recall
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: the Rothier fair Watson.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Yes, I could do something to do with the dural robbery,
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: was it?
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: Yes? Rotheer and his English accomplice, A gentleman known as
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: Touttering Steve Hacker, stole the famous Shrewsbury Emerald. Yes, yes, yes,
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: of course jewels I never recovered, but I was instrumental
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: in bringing the men to justice.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: I remember it now. Rothea was killed resisting arrest.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: Was me, Yes and stuttering Steve Hacker was sentenced to
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: seven years and died for by George Watson. I recall
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: reading a small item in yesterday's paper that told of
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: Hacker's death in prison. That's the answer.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: I mean that on his.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Deathbed Hacker might have told some of the secret of
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: where the.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: Juror is hidden precisely. The key to that secret must
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: line these files. Let me see, yes, yes, I recall
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: the case vivided. Now there was a small piece of
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: paper found on Rothea's body and apparently meaningless series of
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: numbers and figures. It was here in the file. Now
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: she's got away with it, Watson. I deserve to be
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: kicked from here to Night's homes and listen to me.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: I was going through the file a few weeks ago
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: making some notes of my stories, and I remember coming
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: across that tipt of paper. I covered the figures down
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: my notebook.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: Bro bol Watson, I don't know what I'd ever do.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Hold through just a minute, just a minute, here there, here,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: we are here because T two N three O two
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: S five.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: Oh, what the deuce? Does it mean? Homes?
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: I don't know, but I think I may have a glimmering.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: Get your coat and hat, old Chap, the game's afoot.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: Where are we going to Scotland Yard? And then I
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: hope we'll be on the track of the Shrewsbury Emeralds.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: I say, Holmes, if you don't want to talk, you
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: might at least tell me why we're driving about in
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: this dreary part of London.
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: I don't care for it at all, especially at dusk.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: Sorry, Watson, I was thinking inspectorless. Charat has just informed
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: me that he's unearthed a new clue in the case. Oh.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: It seems that when Rothey was hiding from the police,
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: he worked for a time in this Maple Oh well,
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: at a place known as Gaunt's Castle. It's somewhere here
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: off the Island Road directly. It's the sort of museum
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: run by a certain eccentric man named Jezra Gaunt. Its
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: maintained to distinction is that it contains a catacomb, or
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: to be precise, several catacombs, drawing an ideal place to
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: hide stolen jewels.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: I'd say catacombs here in London impossible, not at all, Watson,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: But I thought they were vast underground combs only found
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: in Nicolas.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: Now these are reputed to be reproductions of the early
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: catacombs of Road gracious me. Apparently mister Gaunt found these
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: deep underground cabins some years ago, and their natural contours
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: made it possible for him to convert them into a
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: modern counterpart of the Italian bodies.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: All right, Kevin.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: This is the place.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: Here you are keep the change, Thank.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: You, Governor. Come on, get up. So this is Grunce Castle.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: I been looking closed like a prison. It's getting dark.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Why can't we come back in the morning, homes.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: And I think there's somebody watching us through the people
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: in the door.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: As there would be.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: Ah huh, he's opening it.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: Good evening, gentlemen. You're late. I was just knocking my
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: museum up for the night.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: You are, mister Jester Gone, Yes, sir, your service. My
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: name is Sherlock Holmes and this is my friend, doctor Watson.
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: How do you do mister Gone, mister Holmes and Dr Watson. Well,
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: this is a great honor. Please step inside, gentlemen. I'll
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: turn the gas up, eh. I hope you'll find the
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: castle as I call it interesting.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: Mister Gaunt, time is vitally important. Some three years ago
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: you had a man working for you as a laborer.
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: His name was rot Yer.
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: I can't recall any man of that name, mister Holmes.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: He was a Frenchman, mister Gaunt, does that.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: Mean anything to go?
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: I'm sorry, but in this part of London there are
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: many foreigners, and many of them have worked for me.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: The this maner of Favor was a jewel thief. He
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: is known to have hidden some very vailable emeralds, and
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: it seems quite possible he may have hidden them here.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Dear me, stolen jewels in my catacoubs.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: Mister Holmes, Oh no, I want you to give us
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: your permission to deduct a detailed examination of your caves
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: and to take some measurements. Yes, of course, what an
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: extraordinary coincidence. Coincidence. Yes, a man and a woman were.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: Here a little while ago.
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: I didn't pay much attention to them as they entered,
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: but I happened to observe them later in the catacombs.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: They were taking.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: Measurements, like Joe Malmes, go on, mister Gaunt.
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: When they saw her was watching them, they were very
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: evasive and left after a few moments. Until you mentioned
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: taking measurements, the whole incident seemed unimportant.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: It was far from unimportant, mister Gaunt. They're desperate. We
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: must work fast. They would start our search at once.
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: As of course, of course, I'll go and like to guess.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Holmes, missus Frampton, that a compass attack may must have
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: come here straight from Baker.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: Street heres and over back troubably tonight, it's a race
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: against time.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: So far, they apparently haven't succeeded in deciphering the code,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: and either of we Watson is a battle of whits.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Oh rue.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: They won the first round. Let's hope we can win
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: the second.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Doctor Watson will continue his story in just a moment.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: In the meantime, I'd like to say, and just see
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: if you don't agree with me. Any man who wants
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: that modern prosperous appearance should certainly use a hair dressing
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: and men, I'm right here to tell you I wouldn't
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: use anything else but Kremmeel hair tonic.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Do you know why?
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Because Kremmel is one hair tonic I've been able to
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: find that really keeps my hair well groomed, every hair
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: neatly in place, yet it never has that greasy, plastered
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: down look. Kremmel always feels and smells so clean on
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: your hair. In addition, Kremwell Crembell does lots more than
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: just keep hair looking handsome. It relieves itching of dry scalp,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: It removes dandra flakes. Kremell actually helps condition the hair
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: in that it leaves it feeling so much softer, easier,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: to manage. Why not ask for an application of cremmel
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: at your barbershot, buy a bottle at any drug counter.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Just see how attractive looking it.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: Keeps your hair. It's spelled k R E M L
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: krammel hair.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Tanny, Well, doctor Watson, how did you and the great
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Sherlock Holmes make out when you explored the underground caves?
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: So that first hour we searched that strange place exhaustively
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: without finding a clue. Then I remember we descended into
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: one of.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: The deepest and darkest caves. The must have been a
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: weird picture as we stood there, our.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Voices echoing hollowly, a vast black chasm yawning in front
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: of us, and a feeble flicker of gaslight throwing a
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: pool of light on the piece of paper which Holmes
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: held in his hand.
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: Watson, I'm certain the figures on this paper are the
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: clue to the missing emeralds. But why can't I get
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: the cube? T two N three O two S five.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: They might be facing direction obviously, but beginning were I
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: don't know, but two N could be.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Two places north.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Still about T and oh.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: The T being the first letter is presumably the starting point,
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: But what does it stand for? But the course here's
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: the answer. Look here on the wall.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: You mean that colored tablet.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: Yes, it's a common Early Christian symbol known as Saint
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: Antony's cross, and it's also the Greek letter T. This
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: is our starting point. T is the first letter in
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: this code.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: Then comes two N.
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: Let's try it two paces north. So then comes the
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: letter oh, oh oh, it could mean zero, Yes it good,
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: old Chap wore it might be no, no, I have it?
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: Remember that road? Here was a frenchman.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: Who's that got to do with that?
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: The French word for west is west spelt O U
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: e s t French compasses happen?
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Oh? Where ours have the W?
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: Two faces north three O three paces west? See if
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: guanto lend lend us a spade? What's in, dear chap?
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: Will you? We're getting warm, We're getting decidedly warm.
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: Homes holdser I think we've drawn a blank?
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: So do I?
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: Yet?
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: The code is a logical one two paces north three west,
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: two south five way. Wait a minute. Paces are nicer
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: at watson, they vary. A man would surely leave his
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: records and carefully measured feet.
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: Here's a tape measure. Why don't you try measuring.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: It out and feet? Thanks?
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: Now two feet north, three west, two south, five west
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: would be here. Give him the spade, Watson. I'll do
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: it again this time, thanks.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Very much, Homes.
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: If you dig any deeper, you'll come out in Australia.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: And yet I know we're basically on the right track.
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: What an unmitigated idiot I am, Watson. Look on the
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: other side of this tape.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: Measure what's on it?
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: It's marked in meters. Rotae was French. Now we have
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: the answer, Watson. Two meters north, three west, two south
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: and five west. Get into spade again. Peare if I'm
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: wrong this time, I retired from my profession. What's that?
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: That's a metal box, Watson, Unless I'm very much mistaken,
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: We've found the shrowsbery emerald.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Grapes ut.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: Boxes, a little channish, a little rusty, but its contents
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: are undamaged. Look at these emeralds, Watson, Aren't they.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: Exquisite in this gaslight?
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: They look just like liquid j Quite a poet, an't you,
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: doctor Watson?
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Oh, hollos to go, you quite startle me. We've we've
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: found a treasure.
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: I'm so glad, gentlemen, you've done the.
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: Hard work for Come back here home, drop the ball
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: of God. I missed our friend, Dr Watson, but I
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: won't miss your stand where you are in any case,
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: mister Holmes can't get away, fortunately for us, he's run
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: into a cave from which there.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: Is no exit.
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: Get rude, healthy, Here we are, and yes, my dear Clipper,
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: often wasn't it.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: I doubt whether we could have solved the code without.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: Their health coundrels. I wist not get my hands on
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: you a Doctor.
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: Watson, Shirley, you are in no position to threaten. The
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: three of us are armed, and your friend can't help you.
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: Mister Sherlock Holmes, come out of that cave with your
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: hands up. We've won the final round.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: You haven't already out of.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: Them last year.
• 19:46
  Speaker 7: It seems to me, Doctor Watson and mister Holmes is
• 19:47
  Speaker 7: being unusually.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: Stupid to game.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Be careful.
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: Homes homes, dear me, I'm afraid your friend's been injured.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: Doctor, let me go to him.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: I'm a doctor.
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: I'm afraid I can't trust you. However, I'll tell our
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: to drag his body out here.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Alphie.
• 20:02
  Speaker 8: Never mind about Alfy, I just come counting one on
• 20:06
  Speaker 8: the forest offesterone.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: But boys, it's stuffing. Steve Hacker can't be Steve Hacker's dad.
• 20:12
  Speaker 8: That's what you was the thing. But but he ain't dead.
• 20:15
  Speaker 8: I bribe the prison doctor in his kind. Remember I'm
• 20:18
  Speaker 8: in the little dog. You can't see me, but but
• 20:21
  Speaker 8: I can see you. You're standing in the light. But
• 20:24
  Speaker 8: you better better do like I say, Doctor Watson.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: Yes, what is it?
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: I remember you doing the bad sort of a text assistant.
• 20:34
  Speaker 8: I trust you more than these of rats. If you
• 20:37
  Speaker 8: don't want me to shoot you, better drop your for
• 20:39
  Speaker 8: doctor revolvers. At doctor Watson's speak, I'll trust him.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: Go on, drop them.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: You better do as he says. I think he means business.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: Hi Hacker here, now yours did go thru it?
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: There?
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: Pick him up, doctor w Watson.
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: I've got him slending loans than hand me one.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: But Holmes, where Steve Hacker.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: Aside from the fact that he's dead, I have no
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: idea chap. I took the liberty of impersonating him, or
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: rather his ghost temporarily.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: You shot half.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: Certainly he was about to shoot me. But he is
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: not quite dead, unfortunately, And now what's no chap? I
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: think it's about time we turn this unsavory little gathering
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: over to the police. Watson, it's rather pleasant to be
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: back in Baker Street. It's been a tiring day, you.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: Know, Holmes.
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: The way you imitated stuffling Steve Hacker.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: Was amazing.
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: You.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: You had them completely fooled. Cause I should total the
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: whole thing im all of course, do you.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Very clover, you shall help Fie and then fake your
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: own wounded groans.
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: Yes, it was remarkably effective, and Alpha's subsequent confession confirmed
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: my suspicions. Hacker, ill and afraid of dying, talked with
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: Alfre during his recent stay in Dartmoor and told him
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: to find the booty and share it with Hacker's wife.
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: But Alphie, as soon as he was released from prison
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: and thinking Hacker dead, decided to get it all for
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: himself and his accomplices. Humph, that's pretty tangle of criminalities.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: I ran into, perhaps your return to practice with his dolls,
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: you think, come in?
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: Excuse me, mister Roome. What about the dog?
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Dog?
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: What dog?
• 22:27
  Speaker 7: A nice sweet fello the lady brought this afternoon.
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: He's still dancing.
• 22:31
  Speaker 7: I gave him a bath and a nice big beasone.
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: Now what do you want me to do with me? Hmm,
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: an intriguing problem, we see now he's been cooked up
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: a long time. Oh here, I think it'd be an
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: excellent idea, Doctor Watson took him for a nice walk.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: Nice walk, would holder very Oh come Watson.
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: Remember he's quite a remarkable animal. He wrote a letter,
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: he convinced you that he was royalty, and then undoubtedly
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: saved your life. I think you owe him a little consideration,
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: don't you.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: Well, of course, if you put it that way, I
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: suppose it's go
