Speaker 1: Doctor Watson, you've entitled to Night's story, the Adventure of
0:08
the Blood Salt Wagon. Why why it must have been
0:11
a hideous spectam.
0:13
Speaker 2: It was, mister Harris began one awful night in the
0:16
fall of eighteen ninety nine on the outskirts of London,
0:20
on a vast, desolate meadow in the dead of night,
0:24
a huge series of bonfires was blazing, surrounded by the
0:28
silhouettes of armed men. Some men were shoveling what seemed
0:31
to be piles of paper into the flames. Others stood
0:34
about revolvers at the sizes. Holmes had invited me to
0:38
meet him at the gateway to the meadow. Well, so,
0:42
sir enough, why have you asked me to come out
0:44
here at this sar? What is this weird ceremony?
0:47
Speaker 3: I had no doubt you find it most intriguing, my
0:49
dear Watson, lest what is it? You know? Our British
0:52
bank notes become dirty and mutilated from constant use.
0:55
Speaker 2: Of course, the.
0:56
Speaker 3: Bank of England periodically calls in such currency and replaces
1:00
the old banknotes with new issues. The old currency is
1:03
then destroyed by fire.
1:04
Speaker 2: Then what those men are shoveling into the fires is
1:07
currency exactly astonishing their burning fortunes. But Holmes, why are.
1:13
Speaker 3: You here the bank? Watson, foresighted as ever, realizes that
1:17
this operation has its dangers. If anything were to go wrong,
1:20
the financial stability of the empire would be gravely threatened. Therefore,
1:24
they invited me to be present, stating that they'd feel
1:26
more secure. Their sentiment was easily understood, and the invitation
1:30
quickly accepted.
1:31
Speaker 2: A fascinating operation.
1:33
Speaker 3: This wagon the forest, for instance, it's typical three men
1:37
on it, the driver and two guards.
1:38
Speaker 4: All armed.
1:39
Speaker 2: Those others carrying the bundles from the wagon.
1:41
Speaker 3: Or they've removed the lower denomination bundles, the very highest
1:44
value notes still remain in the wagon.
1:46
Speaker 2: Yes, I see, they'll be extra cautious now. I imagine
1:48
you see the driver's taking out his revolved The guards
1:51
are going to step down, Holmes. The driver shot the guards.
1:55
It looks as if these killed bundle them. Yes, Watson,
1:57
good lord, he's driving off up.
2:05
Speaker 3: You want a man fire wagon?
2:11
Speaker 2: The wagon homes, but not the driver after him, Watson,
2:13
the carriage I came in homes. We can use that
2:15
as over there. Come off the driver about I told
2:17
him to way so difficult to find a cab out here. Yes, sir,
2:20
he is driver. We want to puddle that wagon.
2:23
Speaker 5: Drive my fine, no carriage after that madman me drive
2:27
after him, says we can all have our hedge blown up.
2:29
Speaker 3: Perhaps this will change your mind. Five yes, there's five
2:34
more if we catch that wagon. Hal the war gentlemen quickly,
2:37
man quickly, right up, set up here.
2:51
Speaker 2: But who can the steamsh murder be home?
2:53
Speaker 3: I have no idea Watson, except that his name is
2:56
Robert something. I distinctly heard him call to his horses.
2:59
Get up from master Robert. If Robert was clever, he
3:03
knew it had be black as pitch along this road.
3:04
He's doused his wagon lights. Faster, driver, fastery, this is
3:08
the best weekend those We must catch up with him.
3:11
That insane criminal is racing across the countryside with two
3:14
corpses and thousands of pounds of currency.
3:16
Speaker 2: Can he dispose of the money home? Indeed he can,
3:18
as but how the nose will recorded? The warning will
3:20
be out, yes.
3:21
Speaker 3: Just as in counterfeit currency. But it's impossible to prevent
3:24
Roberts using it anywhere in the world. He can find
3:27
countless persons who won't know that the currency is invalid,
3:29
and it isn't counterfeit in manufacture, it's genuine.
3:32
Speaker 2: I have in my service revolver homes. But if we
3:34
do find the bloodsoak wagons, Driver of the raids, how
3:36
should we season?
3:37
Speaker 3: It will not be a struggle of physical objects, Watson,
3:41
I should do battle with my wits favorite weapon, Your
3:44
humble servant, we must do that. At Driver, in Heaven's name, Watson,
4:00
there's an inn.
4:01
Speaker 2: See the sign, says the dancing lady.
4:04
Speaker 3: There's the chance Robert stopped here to water his horses.
4:06
He couldn't have gone much farther. The beast would be exhausted.
4:09
You should stop an inquire.
4:10
Speaker 2: Stand at the dancing lady. Driver, Yes, sir. Perhaps Roberts
4:15
hitting his wagon behind the inn the head homes. He
4:17
might be stalking about with his revolver, waiting to dispose
4:20
of anyone who's followed him in Perhaps that whoa hey.
4:26
Speaker 3: Wait here in front of the inn, Driver, step down, Watson,
4:30
see the wagon anywhere? No precious few lights in the inn?
4:35
Speaker 2: Oh, looky buildings half rodding away? Shall we go in?
4:40
Speaker 3: By all means? Open the door?
4:47
Speaker 2: Well, just dessert, no sign of life, So for the
4:52
candles flickering by the bar.
4:53
Speaker 3: The innkeeper must have heard our carriage. You'll be down.
4:56
Speaker 2: Someone's coming down the stairs.
4:57
Speaker 3: Maybe the innkeeper, but it may be Robert. Stand by
4:59

5:31
a huge wed and with four horses.
5:33

5:35
other men's business, even if I didn't know about this, Robert,
5:39
I'm not the one for tator tattle Ah, be.

10:12

10:14
of our hands, free of justice, prepared to flood the
10:17
world with worthless currency. Then your pardon, gentlemen, that there's
10:21
a prospers up ahead bout George. We wonder which four
10:24
Roberts take it?
10:25
Speaker 3: We may Watson book on the road ahead.
10:27
Speaker 2: A chap walking there, Yes, miserable looking creature than the
10:31
bondy pull up beside him.
10:32
Speaker 3: Drive on. Hell hello there, you have you seen a
10:41
large wagon with four horses go racing by? I didn't
10:45
see nothing so open? How long have you been in
10:47
this vicinity? Sleep by that pitch?
10:50
Speaker 6: He could a job and a circus down a road,
10:52
buton't no use.
10:53
Speaker 3: This wagon was driven by a criminal. Aiding him constitutes
10:56
a serious offense. I didn't didn't do nothing. I didn't
11:00
enough an honest surely someone with the prison pallor has
11:02
pronounced as yours. It's familiar with the law. Shall we
11:05
escort you to the police as a suspect. Shall we
11:08
examine your pockets, for instance, where we'd find currency, it'd
11:12
be a special type. I imagine he did dirty stolen
11:16
by the driver of that wagon, and presented it was
11:18
a pride all right.
11:21
Speaker 6: The bluff could pay me keep quietly, but didn't work
11:23
the sully five pound notice slip me. I won't risk
11:26
one back the person good work.
11:27
Speaker 3: When did he pass here? Where's he gone? Here? About
11:30
ten minutes ago?
11:31
Speaker 2: Took the left fork in the road toward the village.
11:33
Speaker 6: Wi me, and will you be a can't stole government?

11:57
Speaker 3: Yes, what's in his wagon? He's abandoned by the road top. No, no, no,
12:00
the abandoned wagons of no venue. And let's find a man.
12:03
And since that traveling circus the bag upon mentioned is
12:06
just ahead of us, I'd say that Roberts lift his
12:08
wagon here and race to the circus grounds. Pull up
12:11
by that entrance to the sircus driver, you will wait
12:20
here by this main gate driver. I understand, mister ol

13:22
Speaker 2: Oh you have have you, Constable, This gentleman standing before

14:00
Speaker 2: Hadn't we better take the Constable along that him the
14:02
see what.
14:03
Speaker 3: Means for t be. Now, let's look for Robert very carefully, Watson.
14:08
Remember he's squatting out a father, and he's already killed
14:11
two men. An additional two would mean nothing to him,
14:13
nothing at all. Begin the search.
14:29
Speaker 2: Well, no sign of Robert Holmes.
14:31
Speaker 3: We haven't inspected beyond the ground, Watson. There that would
14:35
sight might have dashed into those ones, then had strive.
14:38
Wait what is it? The dart came? What he was
14:43
passing slowly, the stocky chap swaring the darts.
14:46
Speaker 2: Ah, yes, he too might be and this was Robert.
14:49
If Robert's hiding in the woods, our dark playing friend
14:52
might send up one our way, just one could easily
14:55
be fatal.
14:57
Speaker 3: The air to the bread what passed him? Axiously, there's
15:03
a dead shot. Walk toward the woods and keep watching him.
15:07
Speaker 2: Just a few more steps of rage.
15:11
Speaker 3: He's looking this way for mind.
15:13
Speaker 2: Walk on, he's losing a dot, stirring at us.
15:18
Speaker 3: Where past his range? Now over the ropes, across the
15:21
road to the woods. Rump. It's not much life, Watson,
15:33
just the moon pick foliage. It's clearing a head. I
15:38
see water. Yes, there's the Thames.
15:41
Speaker 2: There's the Thames.
15:42
Speaker 3: Stand away. You are about it. You've let us most
15:46
intriguing chase Robert here to this river bank.
15:50
Speaker 6: You're going to die now, don't know.
15:52
Speaker 3: You're waiting for a small boat day, Robert, with your
15:55
dreams in those great parcels. If your feet the stolen currency,
16:00
the boat will be headed across the river to fresh horses.
16:02
I presume you want to live to spread an alarm.
16:04
Speaker 6: You don't ask my whereabout? You're going to die like
16:07
the two gods.
16:09
Speaker 2: I still have my revolving you, Sae. We must stop him.
16:11
Speaker 3: Oh, we have a moment, Watson. Robert must wait for
16:14
the boat and for his masters.
16:16
Speaker 2: Master, what do you know of that?
16:17
Speaker 3: A great deal? You must be joined by the man
16:19
who defines this scheme, your employer.
16:22
Speaker 2: Who is the innkeeper, the vagabond? Someone back of the middle.
16:25
Speaker 3: There someone no Watson ahead of this operation, has been
16:28
with us ever since this chase began. He's what the
16:31
man behind this criminal maneuver. It's the driver of our carriage, Watson,
16:35
our drive. He's not an ordinary carriage driver, however, not
16:37
an ordinary criminal. This clime is the brainchild of the
16:41
one man for whose powers I have a certain degree
16:44
of respect, the most dangerous man in England, Professor Moriarty.
16:52
Speaker 5: You again justified life faith in your cause of deduction.
16:56
Speaker 3: Homes pleasant to reach you by your correct name, Mariotti.
17:00
I see you, but dropped your disguise.
17:02
Speaker 5: It's no longer necessary. Robert will now kill both of you.
17:08
Speaker 3: I admit to having been deceived earlier. Mariarty but you
17:12
committed an error too. I as we left you at
17:16
the carriage by the fair gate, you referred to this
17:18
man as Robert Sylvester. No one mentioned or even knew
17:22
this chap's last name, but you did. It meant that
17:24
our driver had a direct connection with the estate criminal.
17:27
At the same moment, I realized that this was my
17:29
first opportunity to night to look at our driver. Firstly,
17:33
under the fair bright lights, Witch Watson, admire, and.
17:36
Speaker 2: You saw through my disguise.
17:38
Speaker 3: There precisely a superb I dear to be the carriage
17:42
driver who brought Watson to the meadow. You could observe
17:45
every effort to apprehend Robert.
17:46
Speaker 5: It is an inspiration, I thought. One commits a crime,
17:52
yet one is with the forces of law as they
17:54
seek to sulm the crime. Delightful experience for me, it
17:58
appeased my appetite for new adventures in the world being
18:04
you see the lights of our boat approaching one.
18:07
Speaker 2: Robert, You're killed, Doctor.
18:09
Speaker 5: Watson, and Hose, now empty your revolver into those two.
18:14
Speaker 4: Yes, ready, Robert, ready.
18:19
Speaker 5: I have always warned you, Hose, that the ultimate triumph
18:23
in our years of combat.
18:26
Speaker 3: Would be mine. Oh there you are the constable from
18:29
the circuses.
18:31
Speaker 2: I haven't home, No stay where you are on? What
18:33
would nurse? This all about?
18:34
Speaker 3: Mariati hiteshed back into the world.
18:40
Speaker 2: Is gone. That's about those trees Like a jack ribbon,
18:42
Shall I offer him home?
18:43
Speaker 3: Mariarty as a party is more adducive than your quickest animal.
18:46
Speaker 2: Well, so you came to rescue us, A constable rescue you? Yes,
18:50
Now there's our prisoner, Robert with his stolen currency, stuff
18:54
and nonsense.
18:55
Speaker 10: I came here to arrest you and your friend with
18:58
the cape do what she didn't afford cashier of a
19:00
proper change. Eh, she sent me after you. Took a
19:04
while to find you. But the jig's up now.
19:06
Speaker 3: I deliberately cheated the cashier Watson, you may recall I
19:09
noticed she was dull, easy pray. I knew we'd need
19:12
a policeman to save us where we in trouble. I
19:15
knew she'd send this lumbering woodenhead after us. Probably the
19:18
only way to come along.
19:19
Speaker 10: Lumber and wooden ed is it you whistle a different
19:22
June at the village jail?
19:23
Speaker 2: You will, Constable, don't you realize what's happened? Look at
19:26
those pasts, rip one open.
19:31
