- 17:14Speaker 4: Soon after that Mustart arrived on the scene, and after
- 17:16Speaker 4: quick and fruitless examination of the premises, we decided to
- 17:19Speaker 4: return once more to the manor house. And so an
- 17:23Speaker 4: hour later I was telling my story to the man
- 17:26Speaker 4: I still thought to be the graph Otto von Helden stuff.
- 17:30Speaker 2: But this is grateful hairtop that the bomb might easily
- 17:33Speaker 2: have killed you, who I was ready for it so
- 17:35Speaker 2: quick thinking in presence of mind of my stock in trade.
- 17:37Speaker 3: You know, when I heard the glass crash, I find
- 17:40Speaker 3: myself under the dining room table.
- 17:42Speaker 2: I most distress that you yourself should be exposed to
- 17:45Speaker 2: such day.
- 17:45Speaker 4: John the tall her graph. As a matter of fact,

- 17:53Speaker 4: far Come.
- 17:54Speaker 7: Now, you don't mean to tell us that you expected
- 17:57Speaker 7: to have that bomb checked through the window at you.
- 18:00Speaker 4: Also, I did a star. The assassin knew that I
- 18:02Speaker 4: was in working on the case. He followed me to
- 18:04Speaker 4: London and fell into the trap just as I intended.
- 18:07Speaker 3: Him to by you showing his hand.
- 18:09Speaker 2: I don't see what he's got your doctor, I myself
- 18:12Speaker 2: must admit, I cannot see that you are any nearer
- 18:15Speaker 2: to finding the murderer on the country.

- 18:18Speaker 8: I don't see how you figured that one out, Doctor.
- 18:21Speaker 4: Element Illstard Elementary, one of the three people under suspicion,
- 18:25Speaker 4: followed me to my house tonight. The second bomb was
- 18:28Speaker 4: thrown at approximately seven o'clock. Now it's only a question
- 18:32Speaker 4: of finding which one of the three cannot account for
- 18:34Speaker 4: his movements at that time.
- 18:37Speaker 3: Then we shall know the murderer.
- 18:39Speaker 7: You want to cross examine the McGain, Doctor.
- 18:41Speaker 4: Yes to start, bring him in. Please one at attire Treschwaiger,
- 18:53Speaker 4: Where were you at seven o'clock.
- 18:55Speaker 1: Tonight discussing the military tactics of closets with mister Carter
- 18:59Speaker 1: the Home Office?
- 19:00Speaker 3: It's because were you doing at o'clock this morning too?
- 19:03Speaker 1: It would take many days of discussion for two students
- 19:05Speaker 1: to appreciate all the subtleties.
- 19:07Speaker 4: Of class with I'll check on that again, doctor, Thank you,
- 19:10Speaker 4: and please ask Madam Verona to come in.
- 19:12Speaker 3: Will you question?
- 19:16Speaker 9: Question?
- 19:16Speaker 6: And still more questions there about that seven tonight you
- 19:19Speaker 6: asked me. I was listening to more bubblings from that
- 19:22Speaker 6: stupid young englishman asking for yourself.
- 19:27Speaker 4: Mister Adams, where were you at seven tonight with Madame
- 19:30Speaker 4: Verona and Budoir?
- 19:31Speaker 2: There is a curious sameness about the pattern of life
- 19:34Speaker 2: in this house. Is they're not hair? Doctor?
- 19:43Speaker 7: I checked on Colonel Schweiger's statement. It was true he
- 19:47Speaker 7: was talking the car at seven o'clock, all right, and
- 19:50Speaker 7: well could the other two account for themselves?
- 19:52Speaker 3: Doctor? Once again? They alibi for each other.
- 19:54Speaker 2: But this time, I begin to doubt the more white
- 19:57Speaker 2: white you say that hair, Doctor, I.
- 19:58Speaker 4: Would accept Madam Corona's alibi for young Adams. Obviously she
- 20:02Speaker 4: loads the boy and wouldn't pursure herself for him. On
- 20:04Speaker 4: the other hand, he worships her, and I'm certain that
- 20:07Speaker 4: he wouldn't have any scruples about lying to provide an.
- 20:10Speaker 3: Alibi for her.
- 20:11Speaker 8: You got a point there, doctor.
- 20:13Speaker 4: Yes, Regatta with great suspicion. Yeah, come in, Uh yes,
- 20:20Speaker 4: mister Adams.
- 20:21Speaker 2: Doc Watson, I've been worrying about Madam Verona.
- 20:23Speaker 1: I was afraid you wouldn't believe my alibi for her. Indeed,
- 20:26Speaker 1: I have another, an unbiased witness, who can testify that
- 20:29Speaker 1: Madame Verona was in.
- 20:30Speaker 3: This house at seven tonight. Come in, France, ye have
- 20:33Speaker 3: all dating your hair. France. Did you see Madam Verona
- 20:36Speaker 3: at seven tonight?
- 20:37Speaker 9: Yeah, I take up two glasses of shering to her.
- 20:41Speaker 9: It was a few minutes before seven.
- 20:43Speaker 4: Thank you answer, Thank you, mister Adams. I appreciate your concern.
- 20:47Speaker 3: You muld go.
- 20:48Speaker 8: He seems to me we're still traveling in circles.
- 20:51Speaker 3: Doctor, from the country, my dearest child. The case of song.
- 20:54Speaker 2: Indeed, you astonish me. He doctor, who is the guilty party?
- 20:57Speaker 4: You will know in a minute, Sir a child, bring
- 20:59Speaker 4: the free suspects, and please, when they are assembled, I
- 21:02Speaker 4: will give you the solution to the mystery. Ladies and gentlemen,
- 21:17Speaker 4: my mystery is solved, and I mist apologize for her
- 21:20Speaker 4: little convenience inconvenience with you've a gone. You, Madame Baroner,
- 21:24Speaker 4: you coonl Schweiger, and you, mister Adams have all unshakable alibis.
- 21:29Speaker 3: Therefore the solutions obvious.
- 21:31Speaker 4: As my dear friend Slack Holmes is often said, eliminate
- 21:34Speaker 4: the impossible, and whatever remains, no matter how improbable, is
- 21:38Speaker 4: the truth.
- 21:39Speaker 3: Therefore, the only person that could have thrown both bombs
- 21:44Speaker 3: is you.
- 21:44Speaker 4: Yourself, yourself, graf Atto von Heldenstein.
- 21:49Speaker 8: Sure I believe you're right, doctor.
- 21:51Speaker 2: What have you got to say to yourself that I, too,
- 21:53Speaker 2: hair doctor, have an unshakable alibi?
- 21:56Speaker 5: Oh?
- 21:56Speaker 3: What is it?
- 21:57Speaker 2: I've asked it, you, hair doctor? When the second bomb was.
- 21:59Speaker 3: Thrown, I want to know if you're talking about I
- 22:01Speaker 3: was alone.
- 22:01Speaker 2: Come now, old fellow, that's not true.
- 22:04Speaker 3: Holmes, how could your.
- 22:07Speaker 8: Mister will strike me?
- 22:10Speaker 2: Don't be angry with.
- 22:11Speaker 3: Me, Chap.
- 22:11Speaker 7: You've got the real solution of the case.
- 22:16Speaker 3: As usual, mister, I might.
- 22:20Speaker 2: As well show me upper rating yourself. You really handled
- 22:23Speaker 2: the case very well. You made only one mistake. May
- 22:26Speaker 2: I revise that dictum of mine which you just quoted.
- 22:29Speaker 2: Eliminate the possible, and then if nothing remains, some part
- 22:33Speaker 2: of the impossible must be possible. Colonel Schmicker's alibi was valid,
- 22:39Speaker 2: so it was Madam Verona's since it was corroborated by
- 22:41Speaker 2: the trusty Francs. But what does your alibi rest on,
- 22:44Speaker 2: mister Adams.
- 22:44Speaker 8: Madame Rohners told you I was here at seven, Yes,
- 22:46Speaker 8: but not.
- 22:47Speaker 2: A Verona is addicted to the use of drugs. I'm
- 22:49Speaker 2: sure that you spotted that back, Watson, Yes, I did.
- 22:52Speaker 2: Your mistake, Old Chap was in not drawing the correct conclusion,
- 22:56Speaker 2: mister Adams. Alibi depends on the unsupported word of a
- 22:59Speaker 2: drug addict. Now, the use of drugs notoriously destroys, first
- 23:02Speaker 2: of all, the sense of time. Any tricks such as
- 23:05Speaker 2: the resetting of trucks could be worked on her without
- 23:07Speaker 2: her noticing her word on a time alibi as completely valued.
- 23:10Speaker 3: When Adams is the man who's metters, I don't he's
- 23:15Speaker 3: a murderer and a traitor.
- 23:30Speaker 2: Well, now that we're back in Baker Street, Watson, I
- 23:32Speaker 2: may as well tell you that I had my suspicions
- 23:34Speaker 2: of Adams from the first. Well, my brother Micraft had
- 23:38Speaker 2: told me that he was suspected of being a traitor
- 23:39Speaker 2: at heart, he's been under observation for some years. He
- 23:42Speaker 2: was purposely given this assignment as a definite test of
- 23:45Speaker 2: his integrity.
- 23:46Speaker 4: Well, I understand it all now, Holmes, is the same
- 23:49Speaker 4: I did make it, ask for myself in front of
- 23:52Speaker 4: a straw.
- 23:52Speaker 2: Don't worry about it, old Chap, Please don't worry you.
- 23:55Speaker 2: You always can correct that impression. You know yours will
- 23:59Speaker 2: be the last word you. Well, when you come to
- 24:01Speaker 2: write this story and your memoirs, my dear fellow, you
- 24:03Speaker 2: can always do a little what you say re.
- 24:06Speaker 3: Editing of your own part.
- 24:07Speaker 2: Posterity never need no
