Speaker 1: Now, doctor Watson, you have my undivided attention. How about
0:04
Speaker 1: the adventure of the hostless carriage.
0:06
Speaker 2: It all begun one morning when Holmes and I were
0:08
Speaker 2: breakfasting in our rooms in Baker Street.
0:11
Speaker 3: Holmes was opening his nails.
0:14
Speaker 1: If you can tear yourself away from the kidness and
0:16
Speaker 1: bacon for a moment, Watson, I'd.
0:18
Speaker 2: Like to read you a letter the herd Home thirdening
0:21
Speaker 2: your mind with problems with breakfast.
0:23
Speaker 4: It appears as is yesterday told you two hundred times.
0:25
Speaker 1: But my dear mister Holmes, my friend mister Alexander Holder,
0:30
Speaker 1: the banking firm of Holder and stephenson of fred Needle Street,
0:34
Speaker 1: informs me that you recently were great assistance to him
0:36
Speaker 1: in a highly confidential matter.
0:39
Speaker 4: I'm therefore taking the.
0:40
Speaker 1: Liberty of calling upon you at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, Tuesday,
0:43
Speaker 1: in the hope of obtaining your assistance and the device
0:46
Speaker 1: yours faithfully. Austin griers to.

Speaker 1: Thank you know, take a look at his letter and
0:55
Speaker 1: see you to conform any conclusion from it. While I
0:57
Speaker 1: have a glance at what our reference books can.
0:59
Speaker 3: Pop on.
1:01
Speaker 2: Mail yesterday, postmark Southampton. Mister Geerson is presumably well to
1:06
Speaker 2: do the old papers, expensive.
1:08
Speaker 3: Quality, Sabel Watson? What else?
1:11
Speaker 1: Nothing else I see, my dear Watson, nothing else that
1:14
Speaker 1: you observe?
1:14
Speaker 3: You mean?
1:15
Speaker 1: Mister Greerson has evidently written.
1:17
Speaker 3: Under the stress of strong emotion.
1:19
Speaker 1: Notice how the femnib has dug into the paper several points.
1:23
Speaker 1: He is evidently a man who is used to having
1:24
Speaker 1: his own way. The manner in which he appoints the
1:27
Speaker 1: art which he will call upon us today indicates that
1:29
Speaker 1: he is obviously mechanically minded, and despite.
1:32
Speaker 3: His wealth, still interests himself in machinery.
1:35
Speaker 4: Oh, now, homes, how can you tell us?
1:36
Speaker 1: There are traces of two fingerprints of the writer's left hand,
1:40
Speaker 1: where he held a paper with fingers.
1:41
Speaker 3: That were a trifle oily.
1:43
Speaker 1: And you are, Nostril, who should enable you to identify
1:46
Speaker 1: the very faint odor machine oil. Oh not smooth the
1:49
Speaker 1: lights that are over here near the window. Let's see
1:51
Speaker 1: what our reference books said, well, Austin Grierson, Chairman Board
1:56
Speaker 1: of Directors, Southampton Machine Web's patenty of Gearson's internal combussionation motiv.
2:00
Speaker 2: Ah, that's why I saw his name in a newspaper
2:02
Speaker 2: can't concerning a race of some of these idiotic new
2:06
Speaker 2: hossless carriages.
2:07
Speaker 3: Quite so.
2:08
Speaker 1: And furthermore, Watson, I can tell you that mister Greyson
2:11
Speaker 1: is fond of animals, and especially a large airdale.
2:13
Speaker 2: Our homes are absolutely refuse to believe that you can deduce.
2:17
Speaker 4: That from the fellow's letter.
2:18
Speaker 1: I never said I could, But it's precisely ten o'clock
2:21
Speaker 1: and mister Greerson, complete with airdale, has just.
2:24
Speaker 3: Been ushered in our front door by missus Hudson.
2:26
Speaker 2: Amazing deduction.
2:27
Speaker 4: Ever you saw that the blossed window.
2:30
Speaker 1: Come in, good morning, mister Gresson. I'm Charlotte Holmes, and
2:35
Speaker 1: this is my colleague, doctor Watson.
2:37
Speaker 3: How to home, Doctor Watson.
2:40
Speaker 1: I'm there, imitate Jeff quiet there. This is my colleague,
2:46
Speaker 1: a very good guardian. Joy I said to miss Aggresson,
2:49
Speaker 1: and tell me why you will feel the need of
2:51
Speaker 1: a watchdog. The newness of his collar lead would indicate
2:55
Speaker 1: that you've only recently acquired here. Quite right, mister Hermes, Well,
2:58
Speaker 1: I get to.
2:58
Speaker 3: The point at once.
2:59
Speaker 1: I made all my money and machinery. I don't mind
3:02
Speaker 1: saying that I'm a pretty wealthy man. During the past
3:05
Speaker 1: three years. I've divided all my time and most of
3:08
Speaker 1: my fortune to developing the coming wonder of the world, Sir,
3:11
Speaker 1: the motor car.
3:12
Speaker 2: Under the world, eh never replace for hows mister Gresson, you.
3:16
Speaker 1: Sound like my nephew Edward, Doctor Watson, he shares your opinion.
3:20
Speaker 1: But I assure you, sir, but if my new Moti
3:22
Speaker 1: car can only win the fourth coming endurance test, which
3:25
Speaker 1: you may have read, I shall have no difficulty in
3:28
Speaker 1: selling a part.
3:28
Speaker 4: I wait two cars a year.
3:32
Speaker 1: Nevertheless, it is the case, doctor Watson. In fact, mister Holmes,
3:36
Speaker 1: it is the very excellent of my prospects that has
3:38
Speaker 1: brought me to you. How's that, mister Gresson. I have
3:41
Speaker 1: just recently completed and been testing the first model of
3:44
Speaker 1: my new car, two cylinders instead of the old fashioned
3:47
Speaker 1: one tremendous power.
3:49
Speaker 3: Mister Holmes.
3:51
Speaker 1: In Jordan's test is to be held tomorrow over the
3:53
Speaker 1: course from Southampton to Alter I'm back a distance of
3:56
Speaker 1: over forty miles forty miles, and I feel certain be
4:00
Speaker 1: my new car will win, and as you can easily imagine, everyone,
4:03
Speaker 1: the ensuing publicity will be invaluable. In fact, mister Holmes, I.
4:08
Speaker 3: Have no hesitation in saying that I must win. I
4:10
Speaker 3: seem at least one.
4:12
Speaker 1: Of the backers of the other three car that entered
4:14
Speaker 1: this contest feels the same way. In the last two
4:16
Speaker 1: weeks have been one very definite attempt to damage my
4:19
Speaker 1: new car, and yesterday are second attempt almost per.
4:22
Speaker 3: Second of my death. And then to some people do
4:25
Speaker 3: take these horses, sa.
4:27
Speaker 1: Nurse doctor Watson, unlike you and my Nevy Edward all
4:30
Speaker 1: feels that I'm dissipating the family fortunes of a mad
4:32
Speaker 1: scheme come people do. Only the fortunate fact that I
4:36
Speaker 1: was driving slowly at the moment saved me from death
4:39
Speaker 1: when it's testing apparatus broke. It could not have been
4:42
Speaker 1: an accident, mister Greerson. Did the mechanism show definite signs
4:46
Speaker 1: of being tampered with?
4:47
Speaker 3: Beyond any doubt? Mister Holmes of a file mass on
4:50
Speaker 3: the steering YopE, And.
4:52
Speaker 1: You are certain of these attempts are being made by
4:53
Speaker 1: outside sources, not by members of your own family or
4:57
Speaker 1: persons associated with your intern, My family and fellow workers
5:00
Speaker 1: on above suspicions to homes. So I hope that you
5:03
Speaker 1: will undertake the guard both the car and myself during
5:06
Speaker 1: the next twenty four hours until the race is over.
5:09
Speaker 3: Under one condition, mister Gerson, matye, sir, I'm.
5:11
Speaker 1: Always anxious to experience a new sensation. My condition is
5:15
Speaker 1: that you take doctor Watson and myself for a drive
5:17
Speaker 1: in your race as soon as we can get to Southampton.
5:19
Speaker 3: What done, mister Holmes.

8:02
Speaker 1: I was gaining on until I climbed the fence near

Speaker 1: alarm bell from the barn to the house, Simmons is
8:23
Speaker 1: only to touch a leaver and the gone will ring
8:25
Speaker 1: in the main hall. Walter Simmons himself. They're such a
8:28
Speaker 1: thing as bribery. You know, I'd take my life on

Speaker 1: Joe's honesty.
8:31

8:55
Speaker 4: I'm glad to see you.
8:55
Speaker 3: Gismond survived your riding. My uncle's in permanent tribal dis
8:59
Speaker 3: I surprised me.
9:00
Speaker 4: I gather that you agree with my low opinions.
9:03
Speaker 3: The Foster's carry I've told my uncle offer nothing. I
9:06
Speaker 3: regard it in the same light as the south Sea bubbles. Now, Edward,
9:09
Speaker 3: don't get started under Kim.
9:12
Speaker 1: Just you wait until we won the race and are
9:14
Speaker 1: turning out cars by the dozen men. When then you'll
9:16
Speaker 1: find yourself with plenty of legal work on your hand
9:20
Speaker 1: taking care.
9:20
Speaker 3: Of damage to the Probably by the way, I ran
9:23
Speaker 3: across a rather odd thing today in a letter of
9:25
Speaker 3: inquiry from America.
9:26
Speaker 1: Did you know that in all countries except England people
9:29
Speaker 1: drive on the wrong side of the road. Do you
9:31
Speaker 1: mean to say that in other countries they don't keep
9:34
Speaker 1: to the left, Absolutely not, they drive on the right.
9:37
Speaker 1: Bar Eric, mister Holmes and doctor Watson are going to
9:40
Speaker 1: be staying with us, telling them Jim still arm.
9:44
Speaker 3: Shimmons, the car coming, hboy, Samons, let us in. You
10:00
Speaker 3: are right, I'm all right. Why did you ring the alarm?
10:03
Speaker 3: We'll look at that, mister Oones right, the dog, he's
10:08
Speaker 3: dead of all the.
10:10
Speaker 1: Rotten things and from the ridge of the limbs. I
10:12
Speaker 1: have no doubt he was poisoned, no question of at home.
10:16
Speaker 1: Scoundrel mus have been flackened off by the alarm bell
10:18
Speaker 1: before he could tackle Simmons.
10:19
Speaker 3: What do you think is to Holmes?
10:21
Speaker 1: I think, mister Gresson, that doctor Watson and I will
10:24
Speaker 1: stand God over the carn till racetime tomorrow. I wouldn't
10:27
Speaker 1: like to see Jeff's fate visited upon a human being.
10:50
Speaker 3: Before eight seconds to the.
10:52
Speaker 4: Good luck, mister Gresson.
10:54
Speaker 3: You got your job, mister Arms, I'll do that careful.
11:00
Speaker 3: You would not come back all in one feet out
11:02
Speaker 3: of the.
11:18
Speaker 1: What's the time, Helen, we're with rut the first constipt
11:22
Speaker 1: by finishing zoons from this, you are overlooking the time
11:24
Speaker 1: necessary for changing tires.
11:25
Speaker 3: Mister Holmes. After all, covering better than forty miles at
11:28
Speaker 3: top speed.
11:29
Speaker 4: They have to make two or three change ses.
11:30
Speaker 2: I never heard of having to change a Hawsey shoes
11:33
Speaker 2: three times and forty.
11:34
Speaker 3: Miles A d oh, quiet Watson.
11:36
Speaker 1: The day will come, doctor Watson, when you will see tires.
11:38
Speaker 1: It will go as much as five hundred miles without
11:40
Speaker 1: requiring replacements.
11:41
Speaker 3: Don't prime him, Dr Watson.
11:43
Speaker 4: He has the same delusions as my uncle, the future
11:45
Speaker 4: of the inspectful mate said, day, come on, God, what time.
11:49
Speaker 3: Is the tie?
11:49

12:35
Speaker 5: causing this trouble would try and he twix nat of
12:37
Speaker 5: the races over Desy.
12:38

14:31
Speaker 2: you saw the blood on the edge of the bonnet.
14:33
Speaker 3: Didn't do quite so.
14:34
Speaker 1: And I also noticed that Griersma's faces extremely failed. Did
14:38
Speaker 1: you notice that, Watson?
14:39
Speaker 4: Yes, of course, what of it?
14:40
Speaker 1: Simply the carbon monoxide victims invariably so at cherry rape.
14:43

Speaker 3: is no accident.
14:47

15:02
Speaker 1: Colm to the endeavors to solve the mysterious death of
15:05
Speaker 1: Austin Grison's. Every man who takes pride in his appearance
15:08
Speaker 1: should know that handsome, healthy looking hair needs a hygienic
15:12
Speaker 1: scalp That's why when you buy a hair tonic, be
15:15
Speaker 1: sure to gets your money's worth. Don't just settle for
15:18
Speaker 1: any hair dressing when you can enjoy the extra advantages
15:21
Speaker 1: of Creml hair tonic. This highly specialized hair tonic contains
15:25
Speaker 1: an amazing combination of hair grooming ingredients which is found
15:28
Speaker 1: in no other hair tonic.
15:30
Speaker 3: Crammel keeps dry, stubborn hair neatly in place all day
15:34
Speaker 3: and always gives hair.
15:36
Speaker 1: Such a natural, well groomed appearance, never sticky or greasy.
15:40
Speaker 1: But men, Cremmel does lots more than keep hair looking handsome.
15:44
Speaker 1: Cremmel leaves your scalp feeling so alive. At the same
15:48
Speaker 1: time it removes dandrus place. It's simply great to lubricate
15:51
Speaker 1: a dry scalp, and if your hair is so dry
15:53
Speaker 1: it breaks and falls when you comb it, Cremmel actually
15:56
Speaker 1: helps condition the hair in that it makes it feel softer.
15:59
Speaker 1: More so, Men, buy a bottle of Cremmel at any
16:03
Speaker 1: drug counter, ask for an application at your barber shop.

16:21
Speaker 1: Gerson had not.
16:21
Speaker 3: Died accidentally but had been murdered.
16:23
Speaker 2: Well, I was still the only one to whom Holmes
16:26
Speaker 2: had revealed the shocking discovery, and he'd caused me to
16:28
Speaker 2: say nothing of it. As we walked back to the
16:31
Speaker 2: house a few minutes later, I suggested a fares And
16:35
Speaker 2: on what do you.
16:36
Speaker 3: Base your suspicions of Edward Watson?
16:38
Speaker 4: That's obvious.
16:39
Speaker 2: Pearson told us last night that his two nephews would
16:41
Speaker 2: have headed equally, and Edward has made no secret of
16:44
Speaker 2: effect that he felt his uncle was showing away the
16:47
Speaker 2: family fortune in this wild venture.
16:49
Speaker 4: Besides, he had the opportunity.
16:52
Speaker 3: But do you think Homes and I think Watson? With
16:54
Speaker 3: the libel laws being what they are and Edward being a.
16:57
Speaker 1: Lawyer, you'd better not air your opinion where he can
16:59
Speaker 1: hear you, Ah, Edwin, how is Helen? He's resting upstairs
17:04
Speaker 1: to home one of the mazes, staying with us. This
17:07
Speaker 1: horrible affair has shaken her badly. Of course I've sent
17:09
Speaker 1: her a Simmons to time with a message for the police.
17:11
Speaker 3: Mister Holmes, thank you, Charles. I'm afraid it'll be the
17:13
Speaker 3: better part of an hour before we can expect them.
17:16
Speaker 3: I wonder Wson, that you would be good enough to
17:18
Speaker 3: take care of this little matter if I've noted down
17:20
Speaker 3: on the step of paper. Oh, that's right, I'll see
17:24
Speaker 3: you it at once home.
17:26
Speaker 1: Gentlemen, I gathered from what your uncle said last night
17:29
Speaker 1: that you will now be the joint owners of the
17:31
Speaker 1: Southampton Machine Works and of his motor car patterns.
17:34
Speaker 3: Yes, do you intend to carry on as before? Of
17:37
Speaker 3: course up, mister Holmes. My uncle knew how I felt
17:39
Speaker 3: about all this expensive foolishness.
17:40
Speaker 1: I've agreed to buy out Edward's share, and he's going
17:42
Speaker 1: up to London to carry on his legal career. Well,
17:45
Speaker 1: if you don't need me for anything further, mister Holmes,
17:47
Speaker 1: I think i'll sit upstairs and see how Helen is doing.
17:50
Speaker 3: Of course, edwould I hope you will find her bearing
17:52
Speaker 3: up on the shark h Thank you, Charles.
17:58
Speaker 1: There are one or two minor points that I'd like
17:59
Speaker 1: to get clear in my own mind before the police arrived.
18:02
Speaker 3: Anything I can tell you, mister Holmes, I'll.
18:03
Speaker 1: Be glad to and now, Charles, when you lived when
18:06
Speaker 1: we left you and your uncle he was about to
18:09
Speaker 1: have you check some question regarding these sparking plugs and
18:11
Speaker 1: the motors. That right, quite, mister Holmes. I opened the
18:14
Speaker 1: bonnet and removed the sparking plugs for Uncle's inspection. Meanwhile,
18:17
Speaker 1: he refilled the petrol tank so that there would be
18:19
Speaker 1: sufficient petrol to allow him to test the motor. I
18:21
Speaker 1: assume that's right. The tank was almost emptier after the rate.
18:25
Speaker 1: Precisely you didn't help him refill the tank, then, to John, No,
18:29
Speaker 1: I was busy removing the sparking plugs. And when you
18:31
Speaker 1: were finished, Uncle told me not to wait for him,
18:34
Speaker 1: that he wanted to run the engine for a few minutes,
18:35
Speaker 1: and that I should join you others up here. And
18:38
Speaker 1: you came straight from the barn to the room in
18:39
Speaker 1: which we all were. Why, yes, you'll stop nowhere on
18:42
Speaker 1: the way nowhere, mister Holmes. Well that all seems simple enough?
18:51
Speaker 3: Is I do care? That little matter? Home? Is everything satisfactory? Right? Good? Excellent?
18:56
Speaker 4: If you and Charles will.
18:57
Speaker 3: Excuse me, Watson on the back in a few minutes,
19:00
Speaker 3: mister Holmes. And by the way, Charles, doctor Watson and
19:02
Speaker 3: I will be returning to London as soon as the
19:04
Speaker 3: police have been here very well.
19:08
Speaker 1: I suppose doctor Watson that this magic accident confirms your
19:11
Speaker 1: this stacee for the motor car.
19:13
Speaker 3: It does, Charles, or rather it would if.
19:15
Speaker 4: For Holmes hadn't convinced that it wasn't an accident.
19:18
Speaker 3: What do you mean, I sudn't what Holmes had told you?
19:24
Speaker 4: That told me?
19:24
Speaker 2: What?
19:26
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, I am just on knowing what
19:27
Speaker 3: you're Are you implying that my uncle's death was not accidental?
19:31
Speaker 2: Of course it didn't occur to me, But Holmes poisonous
19:34
Speaker 2: is in the case of an upside poisoning.
19:36
Speaker 3: The face and lips would be congested, and.
19:39
Speaker 2: Your uncle's face was pale.
19:40
Speaker 3: Home seemed to think that. I don't say for myself
19:43
Speaker 3: what Holmes thinks. I won't stand for any insinuations.
19:46
Speaker 1: Home seems to think that your uncle's Oh god, Watson,
19:52
Speaker 1: does he take the bait.
19:53
Speaker 3: And has swallowed it? Hook? Try and thinker, good.
19:55
Speaker 1: Way, Watson, You evident to carry out my instructions and
19:57
Speaker 1: the note the perfections.
19:58
Speaker 2: I think I convinced him to cut out of the
20:00
Speaker 2: bag quite accident, plim.
20:02
Speaker 3: He said he was going off to head it out
20:04
Speaker 3: with you at once.
20:05
Speaker 1: He must have changed his mind rather suddenly, judging from
20:07
Speaker 1: the way he hurried down the hall and tiptoed out
20:09
Speaker 1: of the front horse. And to prove that Auston Gerson
20:12
Speaker 1: was served at Watson would be a matter of utmoscentricity.
20:15
Speaker 1: But my certainty that it was Child's who murders and
20:17
Speaker 1: rests upon so slender a bit of evidence that I'm
20:20
Speaker 1: sure no jury in the world would convict him.
20:22
Speaker 3: It was necessary to make Charles betray himself.
20:24
Speaker 1: And he fell into our hands. Is that he fight
20:27
Speaker 1: as a concession of guilt. Ah, listen, that's why you
20:32
Speaker 1: tell me to remove those things parting plugs. You've called
20:34
Speaker 1: him from the car right so that Charles would be
20:36
Speaker 1: caught to make his escape on one of the horses
20:38
Speaker 1: once he discovered that the car would not start.
20:40
Speaker 2: At home, and down that he had taken the fastest horse.
20:43
Speaker 2: How on earth are we going to catch up with
20:44
Speaker 2: him in the motor Car's course, motor car?
20:46
Speaker 3: But Simmons isn't here? Who asked for the drives? The
20:48
Speaker 3: infernal thing.
20:49
Speaker 1: I observed mister Greerson's actions rather closely yesterday. I feel
20:53
Speaker 1: quite certain that I am competent to operate the machine
20:56
Speaker 1: and come on Watson, show me where you hit those
20:58
Speaker 1: sparking plugs.
21:10
Speaker 3: For him's sake. Flow down.
21:12
Speaker 4: It's so dark, I Candela see the road with your
21:14
Speaker 4: eyes open. Waton, it don't be overtaking him any moment.
21:17
Speaker 3: And keep your service, you harber heady. I know there's
21:20
Speaker 3: something up ahead there. You're not exempted it against the
21:22
Speaker 3: skylight there he is.
21:24
Speaker 4: Brace us up what's not ahead of him?
21:30
Speaker 3: Stop or require good shot, Watson. You killed me, you devils.
21:41
Speaker 3: Take a look at him, Watson. Let him through the shoulder, painful,
21:45
Speaker 3: but not fatal.
21:46
Speaker 1: Blast your homes You had the devil's own, I can
21:49
Speaker 1: assure if it wasn't luck that.
21:50
Speaker 3: Gave you away and revealed your whole scheme. You thought
21:53
Speaker 3: that once your uncle was out of the way, and
21:55
Speaker 3: who had brought out your brother's interest, you would have
21:57
Speaker 3: sole control of a business. That would prove a goose.
22:00
Speaker 3: You can't prove it, old man.
22:02
Speaker 2: Why Edward tell me that mister Greyson had tent a
22:04
Speaker 2: fortune into his experiments.
22:05
Speaker 3: So he had.
22:06
Speaker 1: But what Edward did not know, but Charles had evidently learned,
22:10
Speaker 1: was that the banking firm of Hold and Stephenson had
22:12
Speaker 1: offered mister Grierson one hundred thousand pounds where his patterns.
22:16
Speaker 1: The offer was dependent upon him winning the race. The
22:18
Speaker 1: telegram I received yesterday from Holden Stephenson was an answer
22:21
Speaker 1: to online inquiry, you devil.
22:24
Speaker 4: Heavens and homes.
22:25
Speaker 2: All those previous attempts at Sabota.
22:27
Speaker 1: Those who are designed to make us think that some
22:29
Speaker 1: competitor was responsible, all meant to point away from.
22:32
Speaker 3: The real murderer, a right point in the dogs.
22:34
Speaker 1: Another attempt to lead us off the track by making
22:36
Speaker 1: us believe strangers were responsible at Herms.
22:39
Speaker 3: What was it?
22:39
Speaker 4: Just made you realize that it was Charles who killed
22:42
Speaker 4: his uncle.
22:43
Speaker 1: And as I've often told you, Watson, you see, but
22:45
Speaker 1: you do not observe. You may remember that when we
22:48
Speaker 1: returned from our drive, mister Austin Grierson, when you wanted
22:51
Speaker 1: to want off the ducks, told you that there was
22:53
Speaker 1: no place in the barn where you could do.
22:55
Speaker 4: So what a these that's gonna do?
22:56
Speaker 3: When this fellow here had removed.
22:58
Speaker 1: The sparking plus after the race, he said his uncle's request,
23:01
Speaker 1: his hands must have been covered with dirt and grease,
23:04
Speaker 1: But when he joined as the best house his hands
23:06
Speaker 1: were quite pleased. He told me when I questioned him
23:09
Speaker 1: that he had not stopped anywhere on the way. Obviously
23:12
Speaker 1: it must have been he that killed the petrol tank
23:14
Speaker 1: so that the engine would keep running out. He had
23:16
Speaker 1: killed his uncle, nothing but petrol would a white after
23:19
Speaker 1: oil and dirt from his hands. Terms And that was
23:22
Speaker 1: a slender clue which told you that he'd killed Gerlson. So,
23:25
Speaker 1: slender klu Watson, that it was only your excellent performance
23:29
Speaker 1: that betrayed this fellow into the flight that will convict him,
23:32
Speaker 1: or did?
23:34
Speaker 4: Would you tell me whose
