Speaker 1: And now let's keep our weekly appointment getting docta Watson.
0:06
Speaker 2: Thank you.
0:07
Speaker 3: That's it. By the way, you know what day it to,
0:11
Speaker 3: November fifth, isn't it? That's right? In England it's known
0:14
Speaker 3: as Guy Fox Day.
0:15
Speaker 1: You ever heard there's something to do with a gunpowder plot,
0:19
Speaker 1: isn't it?
0:19
Speaker 3: Yes, mister Boutell, it is. And as Sherlock Holmes and
0:22
Speaker 3: I had a very unusual venture on the fifth November
0:25
Speaker 3: many years ago, it seems appropriate that I should tell
0:28
Speaker 3: you about it tonight before I begin. I think it
0:31
Speaker 3: might help you to appreciate the true flavor of the
0:34
Speaker 3: story if I tell you a little about the origin
0:36
Speaker 3: and the customs of Guy Fox Day. That's well I did,
0:39
Speaker 3: Mike Watson, Well, my boy. On November the fifth, sixteen
0:42
Speaker 3: hundred and five, exactly three hundred and forty years ago today,
0:45
Speaker 3: King James the First was about to attend the opening
0:48
Speaker 3: of Parliament when the plot was discovered to blow up
0:51
Speaker 3: the House of Lords during the ceremony.
0:53
Speaker 1: And the chief conspirator was Guy Fox. I suppose yes
0:56
Speaker 1: he was.
0:56
Speaker 3: He was captured in the vault immediately below the House
0:58
Speaker 3: of Lords, a vault full of barrels of gunpowder. Of course,
1:02
Speaker 3: he and his fellow conspirators were executed, and ever since then,
1:06
Speaker 3: November the fifth has been known as Guy Fox Day.
1:09
Speaker 2: Well, how's it celebrated.
1:11
Speaker 3: Well, it's a great time for the youngsters, mister Bartel.
1:13
Speaker 3: They blacked their faces, throng the streets, begging for pennies,
1:17
Speaker 3: and build bonfires in which to burn effiges of Guy Fox.
1:21
Speaker 3: These effiges are life sized dummies, stuffed with straw and
1:25
Speaker 3: dressed in old clothes. The children parade them in the streets,
1:29
Speaker 3: chanting rhymes. Well let me see, please to remember the
1:32
Speaker 3: fifth of November, Guy Fox. Guy hit him in the eye.
1:37
Speaker 1: The kids must have quite a time. It's sort of
1:39
Speaker 1: like Halloween.
1:40
Speaker 3: Yes, it's not unlike it, my boy. Well, now that
1:43
Speaker 3: I've told you something about the customs of Guy Fox Day,
1:46
Speaker 3: I'll get on with my story. If again, just before lunch.
1:49
Speaker 3: I remember on November fifth, eighteen hundred and ninety nine,
1:53
Speaker 3: the day was foggy and cold, and Holmes and I
1:56
Speaker 3: seated each side of a blazing fire in our Baker
1:59
Speaker 3: Street rooms. From outside, we could hear the sound of
2:02
Speaker 3: voices laughing and singing. Suddenly Holmes rose and crossed to
2:06
Speaker 3: the window, opened it and looked out. Then he turned
2:18
Speaker 3: to me and spoke, children.
2:21
Speaker 4: Having a great time.
2:21
Speaker 2: Wats montez?
2:22
Speaker 3: Yes it cross, they're shilling worth ul pillage to walk
2:25
Speaker 3: here this morning?
2:26
Speaker 2: Has it occurred to you, Watson, with the gunpowder plot
2:28
Speaker 2: of us very promising material to the speculative mind?
2:31
Speaker 3: In what way homes? I say? It's confoundedly chilly in here.
2:35
Speaker 3: Don't you think you might shut that window?
2:39
Speaker 4: Sorry, old chap As I was saying, the gunpowder plot
2:42
Speaker 4: of us very promising material to the speculative mind. I
2:45
Speaker 4: made something of a study of the historical records of
2:47
Speaker 4: the case.
2:48
Speaker 2: There is more than a little.
2:49
Speaker 4: Evidence to suggest that King James was never in any
2:51
Speaker 4: real danger, never.
2:53
Speaker 3: In any danger. What makes you say.
2:55
Speaker 4: That knowledge of the proposed dastardy scheme came to light
2:58
Speaker 4: thirty the James Stewart, King of England, the possessor of
3:01
Speaker 4: a shrewd and diabolical mind, used the spectacular discovery of
3:05
Speaker 4: the plant to try and boaster his way in popularity,
3:08
Speaker 4: as well as to justify increased religious persecutions.
3:10
Speaker 3: It's the first I've heard of it.
3:12
Speaker 2: I follow it's true, just the same.
3:14
Speaker 4: I'm afraid James Stuart, King of England was an unscrupulous tyrant.
3:17
Speaker 2: Comen, Oh, yes, missus Hudson.
3:21
Speaker 3: There was a gentleman to see you, mister Holmes. He
3:24
Speaker 3: said it was very important.
3:26
Speaker 2: He asked me to give you his can thank Missus Hudson. Oh,
3:30
Speaker 2: ask him to come out to please William Hi.
3:33
Speaker 4: Who is a home a gentleman with a remarkably fine
3:35
Speaker 4: sense of timing.
3:36
Speaker 2: Read disconnot for yourself.
3:38
Speaker 3: Look, mister James Stewart, Great Scott's extronicas that he should
3:45
Speaker 3: arrive just as we're talking about James Stewart, King of England.
3:49
Speaker 2: Comen, mister James Stewart, how do you do, mister Stuart.
3:54
Speaker 2: My am Michelle Ock Holmes, and this is my colleague doctor.
3:56
Speaker 4: How do you do?
3:57
Speaker 2: Mister Holmes. You've got to help me. I'm and a
4:00
Speaker 2: button model fear in my life. You've got to help me,
4:02
Speaker 2: mister Stewart. I suggest that you sit down.
4:04
Speaker 4: I'll do anything in my power to help you, but
4:06
Speaker 4: you must compose yourself first and tell me quietly what
4:08
Speaker 4: it is that's fighting you.
4:09
Speaker 5: How can I compose myself when I may be dead
4:11
Speaker 5: within a few hour?
4:12
Speaker 3: And anonay, mister Stewart. I'm a doctor. I really think
4:14
Speaker 3: if I were to give you a sedative that you'd
4:16
Speaker 3: find out.
4:16
Speaker 2: Can you talk of senators?
4:17
Speaker 6: When?
4:19
Speaker 3: Doctor? All right? All right now here, let me help
4:23
Speaker 3: you in this sofa you are, yes, Holmes, I'll give
4:28
Speaker 3: him some digitalis a fellow with a bad heart like
4:32
Speaker 3: this shouldn't allow himself to get so excited this and
4:40
Speaker 3: now this, mister Stewart, what is it? It's digitalis very well?
4:46
Speaker 2: Yeah? No, no better suh, Yes, mister Holmes, Yes I do.
4:53
Speaker 3: Hey, You're right.
4:55
Speaker 2: I shouldn't get so excited. My heart can't stand it,
4:58
Speaker 2: you know, Watson? Is he well? And to talk to you?
5:00
Speaker 3: Think? Yes? Just an excited over again.
5:03
Speaker 2: I'll be careful doctor. I'll take it quietly, mister Holmes.
5:10
Speaker 5: When you saw my car, just know did it strike
5:12
Speaker 5: any responsive court?
5:14
Speaker 2: Naturally?
5:14
Speaker 3: Sir?
5:15
Speaker 4: Who could fail to be intrigued when a James Stewart
5:17
Speaker 4: calls to see one on Guy Fox's day.
5:19
Speaker 5: It isn't just coincidence that my name is James Stewart's.
5:22
Speaker 5: I've got royal blood in my veins. People know of it,
5:25
Speaker 5: and that's another reason they're out to tell me.
5:27
Speaker 2: They're jealous of.
5:27
Speaker 5: My heritage, every instinct I have as a royal one. No,
5:31
Speaker 5: you gentlemen know that falconry is a king sport and
5:33
Speaker 5: my greatest hobby is the breeding in the training of
5:36
Speaker 5: false tuts.
5:36
Speaker 4: Mister Stewart, going to the state of your health, I
5:38
Speaker 4: suggest that you be as economic as possible in your explanation.
5:41
Speaker 4: In fact, I think it might be better if I
5:43
Speaker 4: would question you very well, mister Holmes. Now you say
5:46
Speaker 4: that your life is in danger. What evidence do you
5:48
Speaker 4: have to substantiate that claim.
5:50
Speaker 5: My cousin, Guy Falkenby, has threatened it. Now you see,
5:53
Speaker 5: mister Holmes, he and I are the only heirs to.
5:55
Speaker 2: A wealthy uncle.
5:56
Speaker 5: His fortune will go to the surviving heir. If I
5:59
Speaker 5: were dead, Guy wouldn't hurt everything.
6:01
Speaker 3: Seem to me as the church that you should have
6:03
Speaker 3: applied to Scotland Yard for protection.
6:05
Speaker 5: I did, doctor Watson. Only a few days ago. I
6:08
Speaker 5: saw certain inspector Strada I think his name was, and
6:12
Speaker 5: he laughed at my.
6:12
Speaker 4: Fears and he laughed at he Well, then in that
6:18
Speaker 4: case there may be something in your story.
6:20
Speaker 6: Sir.
6:21
Speaker 4: You say that your cousin has threatened to kill you,
6:23
Speaker 4: has he indicated the method he intends to employ he has,
6:27
Speaker 4: and it's.
6:27
Speaker 2: A devilish plot.
6:29
Speaker 5: Guy has a bit of twisted sense of humor, gentleman,
6:32
Speaker 5: even when he's planning as dustily a thing as a murder.
6:35
Speaker 5: I am James Stewart. He is Guy Falkenby, which is
6:39
Speaker 5: near enough the guy Fox. Today is the fifth of November,
6:43
Speaker 5: and he's planning.
6:44
Speaker 3: To blow me up. Who come, Come, comes, You can't
6:48
Speaker 3: expect us.
6:49
Speaker 5: There through he won me in a celebration that going
6:53
Speaker 5: on in the streets of London day would make a
6:55
Speaker 5: rare cloak for his activities.
6:56
Speaker 4: I must confess, mister Stuart, that I find your story
6:59
Speaker 4: most unconvincing. All your evidence appears to depend on conversations
7:02
Speaker 4: held between you and this cousin of yours. You have
7:04
Speaker 4: no facts to substantiate your claims, but I have, then,
7:09
Speaker 4: please let us hear them.
7:11
Speaker 5: I'll live at twenty three Cavendish Square. A week ago
7:14
Speaker 5: the house next door to me was let to a
7:15
Speaker 5: new tenant. Almost immediately, workman became very active there. They
7:20
Speaker 5: were digging in the sellers. Mister Holmes, I could hear
7:22
Speaker 5: the sounds of picks and shovels through the walls.
7:25
Speaker 3: Singing in the cellars. That does sound significant, ms.
7:28
Speaker 4: Extremely did you observe any other activities of the workman,
7:32
Speaker 4: mister Stuart, mister Wilmes, vans.
7:34
Speaker 5: Have been delivering large packing cases to the basement during
7:37
Speaker 5: the last two days.
7:38
Speaker 3: I know what send them to its gunpowder. I tell
7:42
Speaker 3: you they're planning to blow me up today, Nazis. Today
7:46
Speaker 3: you must excite yourself again. What shall I do, mister Holmes?
7:49
Speaker 4: I think say it put the better of you to
7:51
Speaker 4: rest here for a while and then go to a
7:52
Speaker 4: nearby hotel. I would suggest the sharp spread and wait
7:56
Speaker 4: there until you hear from us.
7:57
Speaker 3: And where are you, gentlemen going?
7:58
Speaker 2: What in an eye?
7:59
Speaker 4: After donning'sises, well visit the house of joining yours and
8:02
Speaker 4: Cavendish Square. I think an examination of the cellar there
8:05
Speaker 4: might prove most illuminating.
8:20
Speaker 3: Supposed to be the household right homes. The empty packing
8:23
Speaker 3: cases is still by the foot of the basement steps.
8:26
Speaker 2: Let's go down and explore.
8:29
Speaker 3: On my solar. I feel a little self conscious of
8:32
Speaker 3: in these clothes.
8:33
Speaker 4: Only to my dear chap you look a most authentic
8:36
Speaker 4: inspector of plumbing. If anyone challenges us, you'd better let
8:40
Speaker 4: me do the talking, though I think my accent might
8:42
Speaker 4: be a little more convincing. Sh listen, I can't hear
8:48
Speaker 4: anything exactly. Then we may reasonably assume that either the
8:52
Speaker 4: workmen are observing the guy fox holiday or that their
8:55
Speaker 4: work is done.
8:56
Speaker 2: Come on, let's find this door.
9:00
Speaker 3: It's unlocked.
9:02
Speaker 4: Yes, this is too easy, Watson. We must be prepared
9:06
Speaker 4: for a tramp. Come on, I've gotten.
9:10
Speaker 3: Out of all the handy. If there's there's any trouble.
9:12
Speaker 4: I don't use it until I tell you to remember
9:14
Speaker 4: we are supposed to becoming inspectors.
9:18
Speaker 3: Spitch black in here.
9:21
Speaker 2: I can't see a thing, strike a match. If you
9:24
Speaker 2: can find a gas.
9:25
Speaker 4: Jet, strike a match, or the cellar maybe full of
9:27
Speaker 4: drum Podder won't take the risk.
9:28
Speaker 2: O chat.
9:31
Speaker 3: Right. Here's a gas jet. I light it. That's better.
9:37
Speaker 3: Now we can see.
9:38
Speaker 4: A little uh huh. I think the workmen have completed
9:42
Speaker 4: their job. See that new wood forming a crude door
9:45
Speaker 4: in the corner over there? Where does it lead to disperse?
9:47
Speaker 4: Let's find doubt? Oh, also unlocked. Here's a miner's mentor
10:00
Speaker 4: waiting conveniently for us on this ledge.
10:03
Speaker 2: This is ridiculously easy. Now, I'm sure it's a trap.
10:05
Speaker 3: I like the latter, Chris, it's a tunnel.
10:11
Speaker 4: Yes, it's a tunnel leading into mister Stuart's house next door.
10:14
Speaker 4: Let's explore it.
10:21
Speaker 3: Look comes, look at the barrels at a full gun powder.
10:25
Speaker 4: Undoubtedly we'll observed the fuses as well. Yes, the complete
10:30
Speaker 4: equipment for another gunpowder plot.
10:32
Speaker 3: I can't believe my eyes. What a fantastic plan. But
10:35
Speaker 3: how could the murderer be certain that Stuart would be
10:37
Speaker 3: killed in the explosion?
10:38
Speaker 2: I think that's easily answered, Watson.
10:39
Speaker 4: Remember mister Stuart's bad heart in his present state of apprehension,
10:43
Speaker 4: and exploding fire cracker would be enough to kill him.
10:45
Speaker 3: I suppose, sir, Hello, Hello, what's this lying on the floor? Curious?
10:52
Speaker 3: It's a funny strip of silk with a little ring
10:55
Speaker 3: on the end.
10:55
Speaker 2: Let me see it. Button, Ah, this seems to be familiar.
11:00
Speaker 3: Bite Jove, I.
11:02
Speaker 2: Believe it to jes. Yes.
11:03
Speaker 4: Well, the last piece of evidence necessary to confirm the conclusion.
11:08
Speaker 3: I take the hands above the heads.
11:10
Speaker 4: I've got a revolver, right, chard, Governor, you ain't done
11:13
Speaker 4: no harm.
11:14
Speaker 2: I remember watching. I'll do the talking.
11:21
Speaker 4: Come on at to come well, well, you're a comical
11:26
Speaker 4: looking pair. What are you doing in the Me and
11:29
Speaker 4: my mate got a message to come over here and
11:32
Speaker 4: see to the plumbing.
11:33
Speaker 2: Mister plumbers.
11:33
Speaker 4: Eh, do you have any identification?
11:35
Speaker 2: Yes, sair, here's my bad. We'll inspect us for the
11:38
Speaker 2: London County Council.
11:39
Speaker 4: Oh that's all right, my man. I saw the basement
11:42
Speaker 4: door open and I I thought Burgers might be here.

13:37
Speaker 4: Clothes and they serve their purpose. Now there's more serious
13:40
Speaker 4: work at foot.
13:41
Speaker 3: Well, I'm still confused about our interview with Guy Crockenby.
13:44
Speaker 3: Why did you.

13:47
Speaker 2: Follow Vanity?
13:48
Speaker 3: How do you mean? Well?
13:49
Speaker 2: Consider the names in this case so far, Watson.
13:52
Speaker 4: James Stewart says that he's been threatened by Guy falckenby
13:57
Speaker 4: a name. As mister Stuart points out, not unlike Guy Fox,
14:00
Speaker 4: you will call the names of the free tenants that
14:02
Speaker 4: mister Faulkner gave us a few minutes ago.
14:03
Speaker 3: Yes, Winter, Rokewood and Canes. But what's that got to
14:07
Speaker 3: do with it?
14:08
Speaker 2: A great deal?
14:08
Speaker 4: Maripella, Thomas Winter, Ambo's Rokewood and Robert Kaines with a
14:14
Speaker 4: free men executed with Guy Fox in the original gunpow
14:16
Speaker 4: of Plopping sixte.
14:17
Speaker 3: Lord, Where does Tom Nivetty, the name you gave yourself,
14:20
Speaker 3: fit into the picture?
14:22
Speaker 4: Famas Knivitt was the Westminster magistrate who arrested the conspirators.
14:26
Speaker 4: Since there would be murderers such an academic knowledge of
14:29
Speaker 4: the original pot, I thought i'd let him know that
14:30
Speaker 4: he was up against him opponent worthy of your steel.
14:42
Speaker 2: We'll hear the.
14:43
Speaker 1: Rest of doctor Watson story in just a few seconds.
14:45
Speaker 1: Just about time for me to remind you that if
14:47
Speaker 1: you want a wine that's sure to please the ladies,
14:50
Speaker 1: you can't miss with Patrie California Muscatel. That's because Patrie
14:54
Speaker 1: Musketell is a golden wine with one of the most
14:57
Speaker 1: luscious flavors you ever tasted. Did you ever taste a big,
15:01
Speaker 1: plump muscat grape that's ripened in the sun. If you had,
15:05
Speaker 1: then you know what to expect when you taste Petrie
15:07
Speaker 1: musket Tell. It's a wonderful wine, perfect after dinner and
15:11
Speaker 1: swell when company comes. Just remember that, won't you, Petrie
15:15
Speaker 1: musket Tell. Well, Doctor, you and mister Holmes were certainly
15:19
Speaker 1: having yourselves quite a guy foalks day. What happened when
15:22
Speaker 1: you got back to Baker Street.
15:23
Speaker 3: We changed out of our disguises and back into our
15:26
Speaker 3: neck clothes. I'm still pretty much in the dark as usual,
15:31
Speaker 3: and I kept Christening Holmes next to our next move,
15:35
Speaker 3: even in the state of suppressed excitement. And it was
15:38
Speaker 3: obvious as he spoke to me that he was anxious
15:41
Speaker 3: to be off.
15:43
Speaker 2: What's that's so much wuk ahead of.
15:45
Speaker 3: Us moving into girling up Dorley. I'm just as fas
15:48
Speaker 3: as I can. What's our next move.
15:50
Speaker 2: In the split off horses.
15:52
Speaker 4: Let's get a hold of my band of street echins,
15:54
Speaker 4: the Baker Street of regulars.
15:55
Speaker 2: I'm going to surround.
15:56
Speaker 4: Mister Stuart's house in Cavenger Square and they'll be invaluable
15:59
Speaker 4: for that purpose.

Speaker 4: Papsy hotel and collect mister Stewart, then return with him
16:03
Speaker 4: to his house and wait for there. I shall join

Speaker 4: I must warn you don't leave mister Stuart for a moment.
16:11
Speaker 4: Don't let him be your sight until you see me again.
16:12
Speaker 3: Of course I want Holmes. But two I must say,
16:15
Speaker 3: idea of all that gunfer in the cellar doesn't make

Speaker 3: Yes, of course good?
16:29
Speaker 4: And UH give mister Stuart this revolver will you tell
16:34
Speaker 4: him that I insist that he carries it. I fear
16:36
Speaker 4: that his own has probably been tempered with at your homes.
16:40
Speaker 3: I'll see here this is a strange business. I must
16:44
Speaker 3: say that guy Falconer seemed such a decent sort of fellow.
16:48
Speaker 2: Yes, he appeared to be a most amiable fellow, didn't he.
16:51
Speaker 2: This is indeed an unusual case, Watson.
16:53
Speaker 4: We're up against one of the most sinister and twisted
16:56
Speaker 4: antagonists that we've ever met. Well, Chap, I leave now,
17:00
Speaker 4: I'll join you soon, and don't forget Stay close to
17:02
Speaker 4: mister Stuart, Stay very close to him.
17:13
Speaker 2: Dr Watson.
17:15
Speaker 4: I wish your friend were here, Hannah, and I don't
17:17
Speaker 4: get so excited.
17:17
Speaker 3: Mister Stewart, you'll be here any moment now. You've still
17:20
Speaker 3: got the revolver that I give you, Yes, that's in
17:22
Speaker 3: my pocket.
17:23
Speaker 5: But what's the good of a revolver if there should
17:25
Speaker 5: be an explosion?
17:26
Speaker 3: Answer me that if you can, and you must have
17:28
Speaker 3: faith in mister Halm. Sir. He's arranging now to have
17:31
Speaker 3: this house of yours surrounded by his band of street urchins.
17:34
Speaker 3: They'll see that no one gets to the seller next
17:36
Speaker 3: door to light diffuses.
17:38
Speaker 2: A bunch of children. How can they do anything?
17:41
Speaker 3: You don't know? The Baker's Street irregular is mister Stuart,
17:44
Speaker 3: and it's a perfect day for them to operate as
17:47
Speaker 3: black faced boys begging for pennys. They pass unnoticed anywhere.
17:51
Speaker 3: I hope you're right, but.
17:53
Speaker 2: I have a premonition.
17:54
Speaker 5: Doctor, there's going to be a tragedy.
17:56
Speaker 3: I know, and I'll take it easy, sir. Remember your heart.
17:59
Speaker 3: You're in flint in hands when Sharlock Holmes is on
18:01
Speaker 3: the case. Here is now Holmes, I sir, I'm glad
18:05
Speaker 3: to see you.
18:06
Speaker 2: You received your visitor, yet visit them.
18:09
Speaker 4: We've seen no one than beyond the lit I've just
18:11
Speaker 4: been questioning the boys surrounding this house. A few moments ago,
18:14
Speaker 4: some children pulled a small cart up to the back door.
18:17
Speaker 4: Can't continue a life sized dummy in my irregulars thought
18:20
Speaker 4: that it was a lethargy on its way to a pumpa.
18:22
Speaker 4: Why shouldn't it be home reason to believe that it's
18:24
Speaker 4: someone visiting you in disguise, mister Stuart, a visitor who
18:29
Speaker 4: is mounting the back stairs at this very moment.
18:32
Speaker 3: You've got to tell by me homes.
18:33
Speaker 2: You've got to take me come in. Whoo, who get
18:39
Speaker 2: the appari sate?
18:41
Speaker 3: Guy fowks down, dark from his hand, and it's walking
18:45
Speaker 3: and also talking.
18:45
Speaker 2: I trust, keep away from me.
18:48
Speaker 3: I got off over say you won't give me one,
18:53
Speaker 3: not take two?
18:54
Speaker 2: Not better for me and the worse for you.
18:56
Speaker 3: It's guy walking, keep away from me. You here bet
19:00
Speaker 3: me are the worst for you? All right, then I'm
19:02
Speaker 3: going to fire.
19:05
Speaker 2: There is, mister Stirth. The revolver I've provided for you
19:07
Speaker 2: seems to be unloaded. How very odd?
19:09
Speaker 3: What in fun is all this about?
19:10
Speaker 2: I just witnessed an attempted murder, Watson murder? What are
19:13
Speaker 2: you talking about?
19:13
Speaker 3: This is a game, James and I had it arranged
19:15
Speaker 3: the whole thing.
19:16
Speaker 4: You may have thought it was a game, mister Polkerby,
19:17
Speaker 4: but I assure you that your quiet mister stud Watson's.
19:21
Speaker 2: Leave it alone.
19:23
Speaker 4: Take your hands off me, help me put him on
19:27
Speaker 4: the sofa, give him some digitalists. Look, I don't want
19:33
Speaker 4: to appear unnecessarily stop it, but will someone tell me
19:35
Speaker 4: what this is all about?
19:36
Speaker 2: With pleasure?
19:37
Speaker 4: Mister Polkerby, your cousin planned one of the most fantastic
19:40
Speaker 4: murder plots that I've ever encountered.
19:42
Speaker 2: He came to us with the story that you would
19:44
Speaker 2: threaten his life.
19:44
Speaker 3: That's ridiculous.
19:45
Speaker 4: I'm very fond of him, of course, it's ridiculous. The
19:47
Speaker 4: whole plot is ridiculous. He leased the house next door,
19:51
Speaker 4: had a tunnel dug and gun power infuses planted there.
19:55
Speaker 4: Even entered the name of the tenant, says Winter, brokewood
19:57
Speaker 4: and canes to give the apparent blood a further authenticity.
20:01
Speaker 4: You mean my cousin was the real tenant, certainly he was. However,
20:04
Speaker 4: he was toumsy enough to drop that piece of silk
20:07
Speaker 4: with the wild ring on the end that you founded
20:09
Speaker 4: the cella Watson, so you called a jess.
20:11
Speaker 2: And what's a jess.
20:12
Speaker 4: It's a strap that goes round the falcon's legs which
20:14
Speaker 4: its leash is fastened. You will remember that mister Stuart
20:16
Speaker 4: informed us that falconray is his hobby, and it therefore
20:21
Speaker 4: indicated that he had been in the cellar and consequently
20:24
Speaker 4: must have known about the whole plot.
20:26
Speaker 3: And all he was trying to do is to build
20:27
Speaker 3: up in our minds of belief.
20:29
Speaker 4: That his cousin was trying to kill him exactly, my
20:30
Speaker 4: dear fellow, had we believed him of course he could
20:33
Speaker 4: have shut you just now, mister Faulknby in apparent self defense.
20:36
Speaker 2: God lord, what a fantastic plot. I still can't find it.
20:40
Speaker 2: Mister Falkinby, why are you dressed as a guy Fawk's dummy? Well,
20:43
Speaker 2: it was James's idea.
20:44
Speaker 4: He said that he was going to dress up too,
20:46
Speaker 4: and that we were to go round the pondfast and
20:48
Speaker 4: night and frightened people by my appearing as live dummies.
20:50
Speaker 4: But the last message he sent for me to come
20:52
Speaker 4: up here, that we'd play a practical joke on a couple.
20:54
Speaker 3: Of friends of his.
20:55
Speaker 2: And did he provide you with a costume that you're wearing. Yes,
20:57
Speaker 2: as a matter of fact, he did.
20:58
Speaker 4: If you searched the pockets for an weapons, no, but
21:01
Speaker 4: I will. All right, while you're doing that, I'll examine
21:02
Speaker 4: this dark lantern. How's your patient, Watson.
21:04
Speaker 3: I've given him some digitalis and now give him some friends.
21:08
Speaker 2: I can't find anything in the pockets.
21:11
Speaker 4: Here's the answer, my friends. Look here inside the lantern
21:15
Speaker 4: has a dagger. Your cousin planted it there to substantiate
21:18
Speaker 4: the claim that you were trying to kill him. Had
21:20
Speaker 4: his plans worked, you would have been dead, mister parkinbay
21:23
Speaker 4: before you could have told.
21:24
Speaker 2: Us the truth.
21:25
Speaker 3: Come back here, mister Still he's hand it.
21:28
Speaker 2: He's peaking the hot deck.
21:29
Speaker 6: Come on, what's not home?
21:48
Speaker 3: Homes? Well, are you out of the way? Please call me?

Speaker 3: He's the one that's stole off dummy. He's dead up,
23:00
Speaker 3: he's going to jump.
23:01
Speaker 2: If he does, he's going along on a porn fire.
23:03
Speaker 3: There he goes. He is jumping right into the middle
23:09
Speaker 3: of the far he'll be don't worry.
23:12

23:17
Speaker 4: up a phone?
23:17
Speaker 3: Does it kill my dear Watson.
23:19
Speaker 4: I'm convinced that mister Sturt threw the stolen dummy to
23:22
Speaker 4: try and put us off the track.
23:23
Speaker 3: And then Stuart's still up there. Here's Watson.
23:25
Speaker 4: Come on, old boy, it's up on the rooftops for us.
23:27
Speaker 4: Up on the rooftop, yeah, Watson, let me help you up.

24:04
Speaker 4: hiding behind those chimneystacks.

24:16
Speaker 4: ends on the rooftop.

24:28
Speaker 2: Well, it's not surprising.
24:29
Speaker 4: The efort of carrying the dummy up here and throwing it,

Speaker 4: combined with his own state of excitement, for too much
24:33
Speaker 4: for him.

Speaker 2: Oh thank you. I can't say that. I'm sorry.
24:36
Speaker 3: No, he planned a murder. Haven't been for you? He
