Sherlock Holmes Radio Logic of Murder Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce, Conway, · Sherlock Holmes

0:05
Speaker 1: Well, Dr Watson, I'm curious to know what you mean
0:08
Speaker 1: by the logic of.
0:10
Speaker 2: Murder, mister Harris. This adventure began one autumn evening in
0:14
Speaker 2: eighteen ninety six, when Holmes and I were in our
0:17
Speaker 2: flat at two twenty one B Baker Street. We'd had
0:20
Speaker 2: an unexpected visitor. He was a lean, pale chap abnormally
0:25
Speaker 2: tall with penetrating eyes. As he explained his grotesque mission,
0:30
Speaker 2: my amazement grew each moment. My name is Forest, mister Holmes,
0:37
Speaker 2: Dr Nelson Forest.
0:38
Speaker 3: Most distinguished name, Sir, one with which I'm quite familiar.
0:42
Speaker 3: May I present my friend in Colleen, doctor Watson.
0:44
Speaker 4: How you do, doctor Watson?
0:46
Speaker 2: Don't you occupy a chair of medsone and Oxford?
0:48
Speaker 1: Sir?
0:48
Speaker 2: Indeed I do, but my acific duties prevent my being
0:50
Speaker 2: very active at the university. I'm also chief toxicologist at
0:54
Speaker 2: the Colonists Office bars Hill. Addcent to Oxford.
0:57
Speaker 4: And the purpose of your visit, Doctor Paris.
0:59
Speaker 2: I performed the duty of a coroner for decades, mister Holmes.
1:02
Speaker 2: I performed more than six thousand autopsies and something of
1:05
Speaker 2: an expert on causes of death.
1:07
Speaker 4: Intriguing background pray continue.
1:09
Speaker 2: I have two associates, Chief Justice Wickham, yes.
1:12
Speaker 4: I know him well, professor of jurish.
1:13
Speaker 2: And Professor Edward Roberts ah, yes, one of the world's
1:17
Speaker 2: formal experts on logic. We were enjoying a pleasant afternoon
1:20
Speaker 2: tea some weeks ago, the three of us. The conversation
1:23
Speaker 2: turned to the ancient problem of the perfect murder.
1:26
Speaker 4: I've spent many a long evening ruminating over that problem.
1:28
Speaker 2: The conversation became most spirited. Each of us made contributions. Wickham,
1:32
Speaker 2: a veritable genius on evasions of the law, made a
1:35
Speaker 2: few superb suggestions I contributed to on the basis of
1:38
Speaker 2: my knowledge of causes of death. And Roberts Roberts, our
1:42
Speaker 2: master of logic, fitted each step of the perfect murder
1:45
Speaker 2: into its proper place with breathtaking precision.
1:49
Speaker 3: You need to say, doctor Paris, that your trio has
1:51
Speaker 3: created the perfect murder.
1:53
Speaker 2: Astonished, no, gentleman, not quite. Our objective was to construct
1:57
Speaker 2: a murder so ideally committed that it was a slutely
2:00
Speaker 2: impossible to know how the victim had died, and impossible
2:04
Speaker 2: to identify the killer. Good lord, if anyone knew how
2:06
Speaker 2: to commit such a crime. While I think someone does,
2:10
Speaker 2: Dr Watson, really, we solved every problem for the would
2:13
Speaker 2: be killer except one. The final step called for a
2:16
Speaker 2: staggering feet of logic. It was a puzzle fit for
2:19
Speaker 2: our greatest minds. Well R. T. D. Wickham and I
2:23
Speaker 2: forgot the problem.
2:24
Speaker 3: We felt it could never be solved, and Professor Roberts
2:26
Speaker 3: the logician.
2:27
Speaker 2: Precisely why I've come to you, mister Holmes. I've known
2:30
Speaker 2: Roberts intimately for years. He has an insatiate passion for
2:34
Speaker 2: such things. He spent every minute of his spare time
2:37
Speaker 2: playing highly advanced forms of chess Shogi, the Japanese version,
2:41
Speaker 2: cylindrical chess, three dimensional chess. He has solved retrograde problems
2:46
Speaker 2: in chess that have been riddle since the sixth century. Person,
2:49
Speaker 2: you mean, doctor? You believe Robert may have solved the
2:51
Speaker 2: last step of this perfect crime. I do. It's a
2:55
Speaker 2: horrible accusation. Once knowing that last step, Roberts might commit
3:00
Speaker 2: murders endlessly without ever fearing that he be caught.
3:02
Speaker 4: Why are you so certain that Roberts has solved.
3:05
Speaker 5: It, mister Holmes?
3:06
Speaker 2: That man could not sleep, could not eat, could not
3:09
Speaker 2: keep his senity if he did not solve such a problem.
3:12
Speaker 2: But even if he can commit the perfect murder, why
3:15
Speaker 2: should he attempt? The temptation is too powerful to resist,
3:18
Speaker 2: Doctor Watton. You're a man of science, sir, surely you
3:21
Speaker 2: appreciate the ruthless driving force of the scientific mind. Professor
3:25
Speaker 2: Roberts would have to know if the murder would really perfect.
3:27
Speaker 2: He'd have to try it.
3:28
Speaker 4: And what do you expect of me, Doctor Pett.
3:30
Speaker 2: I am a physician, Sir, not a criminologist. I believe
3:33
Speaker 2: the menace is great. I hoped you might see Professor Roberts,
3:37
Speaker 2: you might try to learn if he can commit the
3:39
Speaker 2: ideal murder.
3:40
Speaker 4: Have you asked him yourself if he solved the puzzle?
3:42
Speaker 2: Yes, he denies, having thought of it since that tea,
3:45
Speaker 2: But his whole being is dedicated with a religious fervor
3:49
Speaker 2: to visiting weird, unexplored areas where the human brain has
3:52
Speaker 2: never ventured. He could not resist embarking upon so magnificent
3:56
Speaker 2: odyssey of the mind.
3:58
Speaker 4: I see accept.
4:00
Speaker 3: The invitation, Doctor Porrest Watson, and I shall see your professor.
4:03
Speaker 2: It's simple to find him. He lives with his young niece, Edith,
4:06
Speaker 2: at a cottage in Boys Hill.
4:08
Speaker 3: Come Watson, we shall attempt to learn if Professor Roberts
4:11
Speaker 3: has become the one human being on earth who knows
4:14
Speaker 3: the technique for an absolutely perfect murder.
4:25
Speaker 5: I'm delighted to.
4:25
Speaker 6: Have so renowned against mister Helmes.
4:27
Speaker 3: Welcome, Thank you, Professor Roberts. I trust we're not imposing.
4:31
Speaker 6: No, no, no, no, cries the contrary.
4:33
Speaker 1: I've plenty of time. Matter of fact, I was just
4:36
Speaker 1: leaving for a few days vacation with my niece.
4:38
Speaker 5: I've all sorts of spare time these days. Are you
4:41
Speaker 5: comfortable there, Doctor Watson, Very Professor Verick.
4:44
Speaker 6: A gentleman with so many demands upon his services.
4:47
Speaker 1: Surely this is a this is a vital importance. It is, Professor,
4:52
Speaker 1: I met your service.
4:54
Speaker 3: Professor, you entered into a discussion with two faculty associates
4:58
Speaker 3: of yours some weeks ago, Doctor Forrest and Justice Wickham.
5:02
Speaker 1: When I see them so frequently to which discussion do
5:05
Speaker 1: you refer?
5:06
Speaker 4: It was a.
5:06
Speaker 3: Delightful afternoon tea and the subject was murder, Professor the
5:12
Speaker 3: Flawless's murder.
5:14
Speaker 1: Oh yes, yes, yes, yes, I recall it. Evidently it
5:17
Speaker 1: made a lasting impression upon them.
5:20
Speaker 3: Who will talk to you about it, doctor Pollip? Professor
5:24
Speaker 3: one step in logic remained. One problem was unsorrowed to
5:28
Speaker 3: arrive at the ultimate ideal technique for committing the murder?
5:32
Speaker 4: Is that correct?
5:33
Speaker 5: It is?
5:33
Speaker 2: Did you give the problem further thought?
5:35
Speaker 5: No?
5:36
Speaker 6: No, no, none.
5:37
Speaker 1: What's the problem with impossible even for one of your gifts,
5:41
Speaker 1: mister Holmes. Surely you must know that the perfect murder
5:44
Speaker 1: is an illusion. It defies the infinitely pettiscope of the
5:49
Speaker 1: human mind.
5:50
Speaker 7: Uncle Edward, the luggage is ready hit by the door. Oh,
5:54
Speaker 7: I beg your pardon.
5:55
Speaker 1: Oh, this is my niece, Edith Marshall, Edith, mister Sherlock Holmes,
5:58
Speaker 1: Doctor John Watson. It's been preparing us for our little vacation.
6:03
Speaker 1: Is everything ready, my dear.
6:04
Speaker 8: Yes, Uncle Edward, I haven't the time between the house,
6:07
Speaker 8: though I dislike leaving it though, Dustice, it's all about
6:11
Speaker 8: on the brookshelves and your chest.
6:12
Speaker 7: Set on the man.
6:13
Speaker 1: Oh, let it be that is each child? We shan't care,
6:17
Speaker 1: mister Holmes. Was it solely because of that discussion you
6:20
Speaker 1: mentioned that you came here solely? I certainly do hope
6:26
Speaker 1: you won't take offense. But it strikes me.
6:28
Speaker 5: As rather a fool parent, does it? Doctor Forest is.
6:31
Speaker 1: Sometimes more of a nervous old woman than a professor
6:34
Speaker 1: of toxicology.
6:35
Speaker 3: I always choose to follow the sense of murder. Professor
6:38
Speaker 3: arm however, faint and elusive.
6:41
Speaker 7: What's wrong, Uncle Edward?
6:42
Speaker 5: Nothing?
6:42
Speaker 6: Nothing at all.
6:44
Speaker 1: Mister Holmes and I were just chatting a third problem
6:47
Speaker 1: of the perfect murder.
6:49
Speaker 2: If they're off on a vacation homes perhaps sweet better.
6:51
Speaker 7: Oh, we don't want to rush you. It's quite all right,
6:54
Speaker 7: of course, this is an entirely education.
6:56
Speaker 5: For Uncle Edward.
6:57
Speaker 4: Why not, because you.
6:59
Speaker 8: Must read the minute that the border passing was meeting
7:01
Speaker 8: last week. You should have gone, I'm taking them along.
7:05
Speaker 2: We best dash along him.
7:07
Speaker 6: I regret that your mission is not more.
7:09
Speaker 5: Truthful, mister Holmes.
7:11
Speaker 1: It's been enlightening, Professor Roberts.
7:22
Speaker 8: Uncle Edward, don't be upset.
7:25
Speaker 5: But what is it?
7:28
Speaker 7: You did tell mister Holmes the truth, didn't you?
7:31
Speaker 8: The truth about not having worked out a way to
7:34
Speaker 8: commit a perfect murder?
7:37
Speaker 5: Of course I tell the truth.
7:38
Speaker 7: I wish you'd never discuss it with Wickham as forest
7:41
Speaker 7: afar Well, ever since you did, I've had an awful
7:44
Speaker 7: feeling about him. Really, the kind of shadow's fallen over
7:48
Speaker 7: the cottage. I was never afraid to stay here before, But.
7:52
Speaker 8: Last night I couldn't sleep. I kept wondering if you
7:55
Speaker 8: solved the problem. I kept wondering what you might do dismiss.
8:00
Speaker 1: It from your mind, even if, by some chance I
8:04
Speaker 1: should finally answer.
8:06
Speaker 4: What of it?
8:07
Speaker 7: I don't know. I saw you in the garden yesterday,
8:11
Speaker 7: a twilight. It was very cold outside, but you were
8:15
Speaker 7: standing there without a colder hat, and there was perspiration
8:18
Speaker 7: on your face.
8:20
Speaker 5: Does your imagination no, I saw you quite clearly.
8:24
Speaker 7: I couldn't help but think yes. Never mind, I am
8:30
Speaker 7: being foolish.
8:31
Speaker 1: You've been working hardy this your tents. You, we're both
8:33
Speaker 1: a bit bored. The atmosphere is oppressive. As soon as
8:37
Speaker 1: we reached the cutthroll, those beautiful hills, your alife.
8:42
Speaker 7: I hope you.
8:43
Speaker 8: I have been overwrought all because of that stupid conversation
8:47
Speaker 8: and that gruesome problem.
8:49
Speaker 7: Care we set your things and do.
8:53
Speaker 5: By all means.
9:01
Speaker 2: Well, Holmes, For once, I do believe you've taken us
9:03
Speaker 2: upon a futile journey. Not that I mind a carriage
9:07
Speaker 2: riding the trade back to London. I rather it, Holmes.
9:11
Speaker 2: Are you paying the slightest bit of attention?
9:13
Speaker 4: No, my dear one thing.
9:14
Speaker 2: You're not convinced by Professor Roberts protests of innocent's eyes.
9:18
Speaker 3: One mixes the various elements in the retort Watson, one
9:21
Speaker 3: lights the flame and soon the bruise against the bubbles.
9:25
Speaker 3: There were elements of our few moments with the Professor
9:27
Speaker 3: of Logic that should soon produce a fascinating compound.
9:29
Speaker 2: I didn't notice anything peculiar.
9:31
Speaker 4: Didn't you? The Professor of Logic was most illogical.
9:35
Speaker 3: Was he given a moment for further contemplation? I shall
9:37
Speaker 3: have crystallized my thoughts. Well, I'm to think fast. If
9:41
Speaker 3: the Professor knows how to commit the perfect murder, he
9:43
Speaker 3: may be tempted to cry it at any moment.
9:46
Speaker 4: Ah, you have it home.
9:48
Speaker 3: Turn back driver, back to paus Hill, to the Professor's
9:51
Speaker 3: house where you found us, quickly, quickly.
9:56
Speaker 2: Do you believe the professor solved at home?
9:58
Speaker 4: I'm sure of it.
9:58
Speaker 2: How'd you know?
9:59
Speaker 4: He remarked that he had a great deal of fair
10:01
Speaker 4: time Previously.
10:03
Speaker 3: Doctor Forrest informed of the Professor Robert has a fanatic interest.
10:06
Speaker 2: In advanced forms of chess. Yes, sir, he did.
10:08
Speaker 3: Yet with all this fair time, Edith, his niece, observed
10:12
Speaker 3: that his chest that was covered with dust, had gone
10:14
Speaker 3: unused for a considerable period. Why, what's why would an
10:17
Speaker 3: incurable addictive treess abandoned it completely when he has ample time?
10:21
Speaker 3: Then consider the minutes of the trustees meeting.
10:23
Speaker 2: The minutes.
10:23
Speaker 3: Yes, Edith reprimanded the professor for failing to appear at
10:27
Speaker 3: the meeting, so that he's now obliged to read the minutes.
10:30
Speaker 3: Although he has so much time, the professor neglected up
10:32
Speaker 3: your appointment, White, What's he only one answer is conceivable.
10:37
Speaker 3: He's been so consumed by the desire to solve the
10:40
Speaker 3: riddle of the ideal murder.
10:41
Speaker 2: Yes, you're right, House, we must confront him with your conclusions. Yes,
10:44
Speaker 2: but while you've the evidence that he's been struggling with
10:47
Speaker 2: the riddle, how'd you learn that he's found the answer?
10:49
Speaker 4: Think Watson.
10:50
Speaker 3: If he were innocent, if he were considering the problem
10:53
Speaker 3: merely as an exercise in mental gymnastics, he would admitted
10:56
Speaker 3: to working on it, would he not?
10:58
Speaker 4: However, he lied? He pretended who ignored that afternoons? He
11:01
Speaker 4: once it had ended.
11:02
Speaker 3: He could only have attempted that camouflage if he had
11:04
Speaker 3: an insidious motive. I should say he knows how to
11:08
Speaker 3: commit the perfect murter, and he intends to try. I
11:10
Speaker 3: should say he would choose for his victim a trusting
11:14
Speaker 3: individual who's quite handy. In short, is lovely young nieces
11:17
Speaker 3: Edith try not contrasted.
11:20
Speaker 4: You better hurry, man, hurry, hurry.
11:34
Speaker 1: This is the time for a new top coat or overcoat. Naturally,
11:37

12:06
Speaker 1: America's finest independent stores makes these sensational values possible. No
12:11
Speaker 1: wonder America is so proud of Clippercraft values. Ask to

12:58
Speaker 9: and B Clothes Shop, one sixty four or eight Jamaica Avenue.
13:04
Speaker 1: Dr Watson, we're most impatient to return to your story.
13:08
Speaker 2: Well, mister Harris, with the shocking realization that Professor Roberts
13:11
Speaker 2: knew how to commit a perfect murder and was probably
13:14
Speaker 2: about to try it upon his young niece, Holmes and
13:17
Speaker 2: I raised in our carriage back to the Professor's cottage
13:19
Speaker 2: at Ball's Hill.
13:25
Speaker 3: It's odd if this answered so quickly when we first
13:28
Speaker 3: call on him, not once more, Watson.
13:31
Speaker 2: You know he may have done away with either after
13:33
Speaker 2: we left. Now is Spanish.
13:34
Speaker 4: If he has, it'll be the first active murder.
13:36
Speaker 3: I shall never be able to prove Watson merely indicting
13:39
Speaker 3: him on the basis of chatter the tea party would
13:41
Speaker 3: be of no avail. We shall not be able to
13:43
Speaker 3: establish the cause of death, the motive, nor anything else.
13:47
Speaker 2: Refuses to answer.
13:48
Speaker 4: This door is flimsy. I mean we have enough strength
13:50
Speaker 4: to force it right.
13:51
Speaker 2: You are ready, ready once more? Home There we are.
14:02
Speaker 4: To Petha Roberts, Pa, Petha Roberts, that's the other rots.
14:09
Speaker 2: Yes, No one in the bedroom, not in this kitchen
14:14
Speaker 2: that is empty too.
14:16
Speaker 4: They've gone.
14:16
Speaker 3: Watson, the professor of logic, has made off with his
14:18
Speaker 3: niece to use her as his victim.
14:19
Speaker 2: Could we possibly find them homes? They said they were
14:21
Speaker 2: going on a vacation.
14:22
Speaker 4: Yes, but where Watson where? We must look at every
14:24
Speaker 4: corner of this cottage for a.
14:25
Speaker 2: Clue about ransacked the whole place.
14:34
Speaker 4: Home, Yes, and no indication of where he's taken the girl.
14:36
Speaker 4: There must be one.
14:37
Speaker 3: A human being cannot quit his quarters for a prolonged
14:40
Speaker 3: period without being traced to see.
14:41
Speaker 2: They might have gone to Bonn as the fishing, or
14:43
Speaker 2: the whales. Whales from mountain there they might have taken
14:46
Speaker 2: the waters in malroom. Perhaps they just dashed over the Cotswolds.
14:50
Speaker 3: You know, the many small hotels and many possibilities. But
14:52
Speaker 3: we have no time at all, and we must know.
14:53
Speaker 2: Exactly where I've gone through the pazzas, through his books,
14:56
Speaker 2: as desk, the niece's bureau.
14:57
Speaker 4: We haven't emptied the waste paper basket, Watson, the motion homes.
15:00
Speaker 5: I'll do it, the.
15:04
Speaker 2: Notes, canceled check and advertisements. That envelope, just the corner
15:08
Speaker 2: of an envelope. The rest has been hopelessly torn away,
15:11
Speaker 2: just the last person where the return address is printed.
15:13
Speaker 4: Mass Yet m E R s E T s h
15:19
Speaker 4: I R E.
15:21
Speaker 2: What word ends are in our homes? This letter might
15:25
Speaker 2: have been written to the professor for any purpose whatsoever.
15:27
Speaker 4: Yes, Watson.
15:28
Speaker 3: But if it should happen to have come from a
15:29
Speaker 3: well established resort, we might reasonably assume it with correspondence
15:33
Speaker 3: involving a reservation for the professor in his niece.
15:36
Speaker 2: The vacase of spots. I can think of end. There's
15:39
Speaker 2: molds a border of the desile of white.
15:42
Speaker 3: The word that ends that way is Somersetshire, The Cutswolds,
15:46
Speaker 3: the nearest and most popular holiday resort in this area.
15:49
Speaker 4: We'll do just as well by carriage as it if
15:51
Speaker 4: we stop to wait for the train.
15:52
Speaker 2: Certainly he petch a cab, run Watson run.
16:02
Speaker 7: The countryside. Here in the cart is excluse it isn't
16:05
Speaker 7: Uncle Edwards?
16:06
Speaker 5: Heh yes, yes, it's m charting.
16:10
Speaker 7: You don't seem to be enjoying it.
16:11
Speaker 5: Oh, but I am idea, I am.
16:12
Speaker 7: You seem distracted. You haven't been thinking of that awful problem,
16:17
Speaker 7: have you?
16:19
Speaker 5: Perhaps, Uncle Edward the great weakness he is proud of.
16:24
Speaker 5: My can't soil becomes an obsession. You should know that I've.
16:28
Speaker 1: Become candless, thirsting in hell, up to my chin in
16:32
Speaker 1: a pool of water which proceeds, but I attempt to drink.
16:36
Speaker 7: You must use your willpower. You must forget it.
16:39
Speaker 5: It's too late. What do you mean I did lie
16:42
Speaker 5: the homes? What I lied?
16:45
Speaker 1: I have been thinking about how to commit the perfect
16:48
Speaker 1: murder ever since that's strained after you know, it seems
16:51
Speaker 1: almost unreal now, almost as if part of it were
16:53
Speaker 1: a drink. I have been thinking of it since I
16:56
Speaker 1: sat there in the sun of the two professors to tea.
16:59
Speaker 1: I'd lid chat dream, never realizing what seeds were being
17:04
Speaker 1: planted in my mind?
17:05
Speaker 7: Did you saw the part along Lebward? Do you know
17:09
Speaker 7: how to commit a perfect murder? Do you know?

17:34
Speaker 7: to the police.

Speaker 1: I've been under a great stain all these weeks. I've
17:39
Speaker 1: hardly Let's go back to the hotel.
17:40
Speaker 5: Leave me. I want to walk by myself.
17:43
Speaker 8: In this cool air very well, not Ledward, but you
17:46
Speaker 8: can't keep this terrible secret to yourself.
17:49
Speaker 7: What do you intend to do about it?
17:51
Speaker 5: I shall do nothing for the moment.
18:01
Speaker 2: Well, our carriage is coming into the Cotswolds host and
18:04
Speaker 2: past one. Difficulty remains.
18:06
Speaker 4: Difficulty wants to There must be.
18:07
Speaker 2: Some fifteen or twenty hotels camps in other places where
18:10
Speaker 2: the professor may have taken his niece in these hills. Now,
18:13
Speaker 2: how do we determine which spot that he's chosen for
18:15
Speaker 2: the month?
18:15
Speaker 4: There will be away, Watson, there will be away.
18:17
Speaker 2: Confounded holds of human idea of how to find the skiller?
18:20
Speaker 2: Then tell me this is hard for the time to
18:22
Speaker 2: play capt'n.
18:22
Speaker 3: House only Watson calmly, there must be a way of
18:26
Speaker 3: learning the whereabouts if we're not too late to save
18:28
Speaker 3: the girl's life already.
18:36
Speaker 7: Clark, Yes, ma'am. Does this al send telegraphic messages first death?

19:08
Speaker 1: Yes, Oh, Professor Lovell, I need here to Did you
19:14
Speaker 1: do what she wanted?
19:15
Speaker 5: Yes?
19:15
Speaker 6: I am sending the telegram for and now.
19:18
Speaker 4: May I see it here?
19:21
Speaker 5: Profession o? Mm hmmm, oh, it isn't necessarily to send
19:28
Speaker 5: Tear it.
19:29
Speaker 2: Out, the professor said, tear it up anything you think?
19:42
Speaker 2: Pop hair driver, Well, this is the Godchool District homes.
19:45
Speaker 4: Now where to I shall make an inquiry of the
19:47
Speaker 4: first hotel?
19:48
Speaker 3: Watch to me what sort of inquie I shall ask?
19:50
Speaker 3: Which hotel in this area is equipped with health Spark facilities.
19:53
Speaker 3: What on earth you remember when he first visited the
19:55
Speaker 3: cottage and bold head Edith said their luggage was ready
19:59
Speaker 3: and standing by the door. Yes, you saw, but you
20:02
Speaker 3: did not think you should have noticed that the Professor's
20:05
Speaker 3: luggage was covered with labels from hotels. He'd been too previous,
20:09
Speaker 3: as you and I have been writing. I run quickly
20:11
Speaker 3: through the labels I've seen. I realized instantly that every
20:15
Speaker 3: hotel the professor had visited in the past was equipped
20:17
Speaker 3: with health both facilities, obviously a preference of his.
20:21
Speaker 4: The remainder of our problem is negligible.
20:22
Speaker 3: We shall dash into this hotel and ask which spot
20:25
Speaker 3: in these hills has a Turkish bath and similar equipment.
20:28
Speaker 4: Wait for us, coachman, don't keep your pus.
20:37
Speaker 7: Here's the ice for your head. Uncle, heads feeling better?
20:40
Speaker 5: Yes, it is much better. So kind of you to
20:42
Speaker 5: bring it to my room.
20:43
Speaker 7: I've wrapped him this chiel I found in your bathroom.
20:46
Speaker 5: There you are, Oh, I feel the good splitting headache.
20:52
Speaker 7: You must take a nap. I leave you.
20:54
Speaker 5: I don't think you can leave. I've locked the door.
21:00
Speaker 5: What I've locked the door?
21:03
Speaker 7: Why did you do that?
21:04
Speaker 5: I didn't want you to go.
21:07
Speaker 7: Don't get up saying that you're not worse.
21:10
Speaker 5: There isn't the thing.
21:11
Speaker 2: Wrong with me, But you asked me to bring the eyes.
21:14
Speaker 1: Very cheap deception, Edith, but practical enough. I locked the
21:19
Speaker 1: door to be sure you wouldn't run off. You see,
21:21
Speaker 1: I've not only worked out how to commit the perfect murder,
21:25
Speaker 1: but I cannot resist the temptation to see if my
21:29
Speaker 1: theory is correct.
21:30
Speaker 7: You're playing a game with you.
21:31
Speaker 5: No, not at all. Try the door.
21:35
Speaker 7: You've done that.
21:36
Speaker 1: I fought this temptation, Edith. I did not want to
21:39
Speaker 1: know the answers to the problem. I was afraid I'd
21:42
Speaker 1: want to try it once I knew, And then I
21:47
Speaker 1: fold this. I'm convinced the chances of anyone's learning the
21:53
Speaker 1: cause of your death, the chances of their learning the
21:58
Speaker 1: cause of your death, or of every using me of
22:00
Speaker 1: it on non existence.
22:03
Speaker 4: There is a way to kill you that.
22:05
Speaker 5: Fulfill those seemingly impossible requirements.
22:10
Speaker 7: Let me up.
22:14
Speaker 5: Steps. You didn't notice.
22:15
Speaker 1: I selected a room in an abandoned section of this
22:18
Speaker 1: huge hotel in a distant town.
22:20
Speaker 7: You couldn't do it.
22:21
Speaker 4: You couldn't, I thought that myself. But can you appreciate
22:25
Speaker 4: what an achievement this will be for me.
22:28
Speaker 1: Can you understand how I had to know the answer,
22:31
Speaker 1: and now that I do, how I must confirm it.
22:33
Speaker 7: They'll find me here in your role?
22:36
Speaker 1: Will the Holmes knows I went off with you. It's
22:39
Speaker 1: a long way from that, proving I did away with you.
22:41
Speaker 1: You forget this is the ideal murdered. There are steps
22:46
Speaker 1: I shall take after you are dead.
22:49
Speaker 7: I know the window.
22:52
Speaker 5: I can't hope that I ended to that.
22:54
Speaker 1: You also noticed that before you came, I cleared the room.
22:57
Speaker 1: Nothing is available to you to use as a weapon
22:59
Speaker 1: again me and you're going to die within the next
23:04
Speaker 1: few texts. Before you die, you will have the privilege
23:11
Speaker 1: of seeing a technique in murder never before us in
23:17
Speaker 1: the history of man.
23:20
Speaker 5: I should start now. The simplicity of it will excound you.
23:27
Speaker 4: All I must do, all I must do is you'll
23:33
Speaker 4: do nothing. I brought them all with me to seat
23:36
Speaker 4: him up. Then, come on, professor, you is going to
23:38
Speaker 4: go one off? How kind of text, professor? I don't know.
23:42
Speaker 2: Through the window. Well now hopes Now that we've returned
23:57
Speaker 2: to make a speat, I say we should enjoy a
24:00
Speaker 2: well deserved rest. Eh, oh, now, who could that be?
24:05
Speaker 4: Come in?

24:38
Speaker 4: Hmm? What's it say?
24:41
Speaker 5: What?
24:42
Speaker 3: Professor Roberts writes that he bequeaths his technique for committing
24:45
Speaker 3: the absolutely perfect murder to me. He wrote this to
24:49
Speaker 3: be read by me, should he die before I did.
24:52
Speaker 3: He wishes to be remembered by postility as the creator
24:54
Speaker 3: of this technique, the first in all recorded time to

Speaker 2: paper says. Ugh ho, how do you commit the perfect murder?
25:36
Speaker 3: That's, my dear Watson, is something I must try desperately
25:40
Speaker 3: to forget, something about which the world must forever wonder.
25:58
Speaker 1: Well, doctor Watson. And did mister Holmes ever reveal that secret?
26:03
