- 0:00Speaker 1: And now I'm sure doctor Watson's expecting us, so let's
- 0:03Speaker 1: go in and join it.
- 0:06Speaker 2: Oh there you are, mister Berto.
- 0:08Speaker 3: Good an acting, good evening. Draw up your chair with
- 0:11Speaker 3: the fur. That's it, the tobacco's and the job beside you.
- 0:16Speaker 1: Thanks well, Doctor, already for tonight's new sherlack Hon's adventure.
- 0:19Speaker 3: Yes, mister Berto, on this occasion, I'm going to tell
- 0:23Speaker 3: the story a little differently. You see, I didn't take
- 0:26Speaker 3: part in it myself, so I shall act as a
- 0:28Speaker 3: narrator and recount the adventure as it was told me
- 0:32Speaker 3: some years after it.
- 0:33Speaker 1: Actually took place, told you by Sherlock Holmes.
- 0:35Speaker 4: I suppose.
- 0:36Speaker 2: Yes.
- 0:36Speaker 3: At the time the story happened, the whole world, including myself,
- 0:40Speaker 3: believed that my old friend had been dead for three years.
- 0:43Speaker 5: What did he do with himself?
- 0:44Speaker 4: During those three years?
- 0:45Speaker 3: Doctor wondered about the world Persia Egypt to south of France.
- 0:49Speaker 3: Two years of his time was spent in Tibet, where
- 0:52Speaker 3: he disguised himself as an Norwegian explorer by the name
- 0:55Speaker 3: of Sergus, his object being to visit for business city
- 1:00Speaker 3: of Laza.
- 1:01Speaker 2: The story began as Holmes stood on.
- 1:04Speaker 3: The outskirts of a tiny encampment high in the Tibetan snows,
- 1:08Speaker 3: disguised the Norwegian services. Surrounding him was an excited group
- 1:12Speaker 3: of Native guides, their fur capped faces and shaggy sheepskin
- 1:16Speaker 3: coats making them appear like strange wild animals as they
- 1:21Speaker 3: stood there, espiculating wildly. The freezing wind.
- 1:25Speaker 2: Were great clouds of snow away from the mountaintop.
- 1:27Speaker 3: That loomed above them, and Holmes told me that he
- 1:30Speaker 3: felt a premonition of impending disaster.
- 1:42Speaker 6: Sir, my men will go no further, they say, the
- 1:45Speaker 6: concept the.
- 1:46Speaker 2: Mountain is angry. If we cry further, she will swallow
- 1:50Speaker 2: us up, she will bury us.
- 1:52Speaker 7: But we cannot talk back.
- 1:53Speaker 2: Now.
- 1:54Speaker 8: We have come so far thousand feet eight hundred feet
- 1:57Speaker 8: high out we shall reach past.
- 2:01Speaker 9: We can't stay back there in the tent until the
- 2:04Speaker 9: Godess of the mountain telligence we may go further.
- 2:07Speaker 2: He is right, we can go. We don't want to
- 2:10Speaker 2: know anymore. Two fools. If you stay here in the millderness,
- 2:14Speaker 2: in the village and the.
- 2:15Speaker 8: Avalanche comes, you will all the pet you have to
- 2:18Speaker 8: swept away.
- 2:19Speaker 2: The only abroad guys, what we will let go.
- 2:27Speaker 5: Hold on alone?
- 2:37Speaker 2: Holmes was the only one who survived.
- 2:40Speaker 3: He struggled up the paths that led the safety, the
- 2:43Speaker 3: icy girl whipping around him in a frenzy. A few
- 2:46Speaker 3: moments after he reached the top, the avalanche occurred.
- 2:49Speaker 2: The tents, the guides, and all the equipment were buried.
- 2:53Speaker 3: Beneath hundreds of feet of utling undering the snow. The
- 2:57Speaker 3: way behind him was closed. He could only fall your
- 2:59Speaker 3: head alone, and he descended the pace of dead to
- 3:03Speaker 3: the plateau beyond.
- 3:04Speaker 2: But the Goddess of the mountain was still angry.
- 3:07Speaker 3: Through the knifing wind and snow, he battled on without
- 3:09Speaker 3: food and without, as he told me later.
- 3:11Speaker 2: Much hope.
- 3:12Speaker 3: Even Holmes was helpless in that battle of man against
- 3:16Speaker 3: the elements. What happened in that thirty six hours he
- 3:19Speaker 3: never really knew, except that the wind howled and the
- 3:22Speaker 3: driving snow slashed him without mercy.
- 3:25Speaker 2: Finally, his mind began to wander, and he became delirious.
- 3:36Speaker 4: What's nearby? And am i valin? Willi Mariati?
- 3:41Speaker 6: Once introduced to the Goddess of the mountain eighteenth will
- 3:43Speaker 6: have a lot in common to only one the latestry Cavire.
- 3:47Speaker 4: For Heaven's sake, as fast as you can. I think
- 3:49Speaker 4: I've got a chill.
- 3:58Speaker 3: Though his mind was one bring his great strength combined
- 4:01Speaker 3: with instinctive urge for self preservation as to keet on
- 4:04Speaker 3: his feet. But finally he returned to normal consciousness to
- 4:08Speaker 3: find himself jogging along a rough road in a primitive
- 4:11Speaker 3: cock drawn by two oxen, the sun shining on him,
- 4:15Speaker 3: and a white.
- 4:15Speaker 2: Girl feeding him warm broth from a cup. For a moment.
- 4:19Speaker 2: The girl looked at him with a comforting.
- 4:21Speaker 5: Smile and then spoke, no wonder you look puzzled, poor man.
- 4:28Speaker 5: You can't make up your mind whether you're in this
- 4:30Speaker 5: world or the next.
- 4:32Speaker 4: And how did I get here? Please?

- 4:38Speaker 5: you wandering out of your mind two days ago, and

- 5:08Speaker 5: did not die two years ago. At the racking back falls.
- 5:10Speaker 4: I can see that father simulation is useless. My dear
- 5:13Speaker 4: young lady, however, I must implore you to keep my secret.
- 5:16Speaker 4: It's essential. Then for a while longer the world continues
- 5:19Speaker 4: to think me dead.
- 5:20Speaker 5: You don't need to worry, mister Holmes. I'm a great
- 5:23Speaker 5: admirer of yours, and I promise that no one will
- 5:25Speaker 5: ever learn your secret from my lips. Try drinking a
- 5:28Speaker 5: little more abroad. You're dreadfully weak.
- 5:30Speaker 4: Thank you so much.
- 5:35Speaker 5: Another white man travels the road to Pancha Pushpah.
- 5:38Speaker 2: Stop the cart you need help.

- 6:14Speaker 10: Beautiful, so Bajan will forgive you.
- 6:18Speaker 7: There is this magic. Lying on the floor, he looks
- 6:20Speaker 7: half dead.
- 6:20Speaker 4: I am half dead. My name is Cigarsen. I am Norwegian.
- 6:26Speaker 2: What is Norwegian doing in Tibet?
- 6:28Speaker 4: I have been exploring the mountains.
- 6:30Speaker 6: And what may I ask, is a passion doing in Tibet,
- 6:33Speaker 6: Gospet in Bogin, What is.
- 6:35Speaker 2: A Russian doing?
- 6:36Speaker 10: You shall see, my friend to Holy Mother, Russia shall
- 6:40Speaker 10: belong to Tibet. But now let us be gay. We
- 6:44Speaker 10: have some hours ahead of us. You like what comes valley?
- 6:48Speaker 5: I'm afraid I don't drink.
- 6:51Speaker 2: Boragine will teach you to drink. Then he will sing
- 6:54Speaker 2: you songs.
- 6:54Speaker 4: Of his native Russia.
- 6:56Speaker 7: We shall be happy.
- 6:58Speaker 2: I got a few more ready actually singing.
- 7:07Speaker 3: Holmes told me that every note jarred is aching weary ahead.
- 7:11Speaker 2: After a few hours, the strangely.
- 7:13Speaker 3: Assorted trio arrived at the gates of the monastery, the edifice,
- 7:17Speaker 3: as Holmes told me, of great antiquity and of breathtaking beauty,
- 7:21Speaker 3: and built in the shadow of a giant mountain. He
- 7:24Speaker 3: was fed and bathed, and shortly afterwards he found himself,
- 7:26Speaker 3: together with his two companions, in.
- 7:28Speaker 2: The presence of the head abbot himself a man of
- 7:31Speaker 2: great age and infinite wisdom.
- 7:34Speaker 3: The faint chanting of religious music could be heard coming
- 7:37Speaker 3: from another part.
- 7:38Speaker 2: Of the monastery, as the old man.
- 7:50Speaker 9: My dear miss Farley, my dear gentlemen, I have welcomed
- 7:55Speaker 9: you to the monastery, and yet each one of you
- 7:58Speaker 9: has come to me separately and ask that he be
- 8:02Speaker 9: given permission to go to the sacred.
- 8:04Speaker 4: City of Larsa.
- 8:06Speaker 9: I cannot give that permission, my children.
- 8:09Speaker 2: Borojin has traveled a long way.
- 8:12Speaker 10: Russia will be most unhappy if it does not get
- 8:14Speaker 10: the permission.
- 8:14Speaker 6: I am an explorer, weven, Sir, will not that fact
- 8:18Speaker 6: entitle me to some consideration.
- 8:19Speaker 5: I too have traveled a great way, Sir, my children,
- 8:22Speaker 5: I realize your claims, but the permission is not in
- 8:25Speaker 5: my power to grant.
- 8:27Speaker 9: Tibet is ruled by our Chinese openlords. In any case,
- 8:32Speaker 9: I will ask you to turn your heads. A gentleman
- 8:35Speaker 9: approaching us has preceded you in residence here. He also
- 8:40Speaker 9: wishes to tread the road to Lasa. You have you visitors,
- 8:44Speaker 9: I say yes, my son, permit me to introduce you,
- 8:47Speaker 9: Sir Harvey Forester, and this is Miss Eileen Fari.
- 8:52Speaker 5: How do you How do you do, Sir have.
- 8:54Speaker 9: Gospbardine Borodin from Russia.
- 8:57Speaker 2: How do you know?
- 8:58Speaker 10: And cannot travel the world meeting an Englishman?
- 9:01Speaker 9: God we push and mister Olafsigersen from Nurk.
- 9:06Speaker 4: God Daksaha, how you doing?
- 9:09Speaker 2: Please be seated, my children.
- 9:12Speaker 9: The Chinese ruler in this province has heard of your
- 9:15Speaker 9: presence here.
- 9:16Speaker 4: He has announced his intention of visiting you.
- 9:20Speaker 9: Before he arrives, I should like to ask you each
- 9:23Speaker 9: a question. Four of you, all from different countries, have
- 9:28Speaker 9: traveled here to the mountains of Tibet. But this monastery
- 9:33Speaker 9: I can offer you refreshment, the opportunity of acquiring wisdom
- 9:39Speaker 9: and peace. What more do you seek in Larsa? I
- 9:43Speaker 9: shall ask you each that question. In turn, you, miss Farley,
- 9:49Speaker 9: what do you seek?
- 9:51Speaker 5: I seek the opportunity to bring both God and health
- 9:54Speaker 5: to your Tibetan people, and you, mister Segus.
- 9:57Speaker 6: I seek to chart the true courts of your mountains
- 10:01Speaker 6: and so to bring knowledge to the world and you, Gods.
- 10:04Speaker 9: Puddin Borodin is.
- 10:06Speaker 10: Seek to bring about complete understanding between the great peoples
- 10:09Speaker 10: of Tibet and Russia. If I succeed Saren his family
- 10:14Speaker 10: may consider turning to Buddhism.
- 10:16Speaker 9: Indeed, and you, Sir Harvey, as representative of the British government,
- 10:22Speaker 9: what do you seek.
- 10:23Speaker 7: I should not join in this contest of wishful seeking.
- 10:26Speaker 2: I merely remind you, sir, that your government.
- 10:29Speaker 9: Has signed a treaty with mine, and was not that
- 10:31Speaker 9: treaty forced upon us by our Chinese overlords. No, my children,
- 10:36Speaker 9: you have advanced brave reasons, but I cannot help remembering
- 10:41Speaker 9: that the streams of Tibet fair gold nuggets the size
- 10:45Speaker 9: of hazel nuts, You foreigners, and your pitiful ignorance esteem
- 10:52Speaker 9: gold that signals the arrival of Watson, the Chinese emissary.
- 11:00Speaker 9: Your problems will resettled, my children. I will acquaint him
- 11:03Speaker 9: with your reques.
- 11:06Speaker 5: Why are you smiling, mister Holmes at the.
- 11:09Speaker 4: Name of the Chinese overlord?
- 11:11Speaker 6: What soon, mister Boid falling into old habits and saying Emory,
- 11:15Speaker 6: my dear, what son?
- 11:17Speaker 5: He's going to speak?
- 11:18Speaker 7: Silent?
- 11:19Speaker 2: Silent? The Abbot has told me or wishes.
- 11:24Speaker 7: I will hold conference American lady, and no whigin will
- 11:28Speaker 7: not be allowed.
- 11:29Speaker 10: Only Great Britain and Russia have treaties with my country.
- 11:34Speaker 9: I insist that I have prior right over the Russian representative.
- 11:39Speaker 10: I represented LA and Russia is your neighbor.
- 11:42Speaker 7: I demanded my diplomatic privilege.
- 11:44Speaker 2: Hellow me, I will decide these things, not you. I
- 11:47Speaker 2: shall inform the British Consulate Peking.
- 11:51Speaker 4: The jar.
- 11:53Speaker 5: Well, mister Holmes, it looks as if you and I
- 11:55Speaker 5: at any rate don't get to Lasser.
- 11:58Speaker 4: You look worried.
- 12:00Speaker 5: Does the journey to lass I mean so much to you?
- 12:01Speaker 6: It isn't that I'm worried about the potential danger that
- 12:04Speaker 6: hangs over this monastery.
- 12:05Speaker 4: Violent forces are at work.
- 12:06Speaker 5: Do you mean, mister Holmes.
- 12:07Speaker 6: As you know, Miss Parley, I have some specialized acquaintance
- 12:09Speaker 6: with these matters, and I tell you that I have
- 12:10Speaker 6: rarely seen more clearly exemplified that emotional tension which leads
- 12:14Speaker 6: to one thing.
- 12:15Speaker 9: Murder.
- 12:16Speaker 4: That is what I'm afraid of, young lady. Murder.
- 12:22Speaker 2: That was what Holmes was afraid of.
- 12:25Speaker 3: Later that day, as the sun was setting over the mountaintop,
- 12:28Speaker 3: the old Abbitt walked slowly in the monastery gardens.
- 12:31Speaker 9: Does he talk to the man who he thought, mister Cecus?
- 12:37Speaker 9: And what can I do to help you? Our conversation
- 12:40Speaker 9: has pleased me. You are a man of rare perception
- 12:44Speaker 9: and knowledge. I grant you one worthy to enter lesser,
- 12:47Speaker 9: but I can often no hope. Mister Wa has already
- 12:51Speaker 9: rejected the applications of both the Englishman and the Russian.
- 12:55Speaker 4: He did that, he did, my son.
- 12:57Speaker 9: He told me they were both very angry and threatened
- 13:00Speaker 9: him if.
- 13:01Speaker 6: Anything were to happen to the Chinese emissary, would you
- 13:04Speaker 6: have the right to grant permission for journey to Lasso.
- 13:07Speaker 9: Yes, until then you envoy arrived if he kin, But
- 13:11Speaker 9: what are you suggesting, my son? This monastery is a
- 13:15Speaker 9: haven of peaces, a back water far from the troubled
- 13:18Speaker 9: stream of life. No violence has ever occurred.
- 13:22Speaker 4: I hope it never will.
- 13:23Speaker 6: And yet the Chinese envoy was threatened, you say, reverend sir, Yes,
- 13:27Speaker 6: my son, he has left the monastery.
- 13:29Speaker 4: Of course.
- 13:29Speaker 9: Now those who come here, even for a short visit,
- 13:33Speaker 9: must break bread with us and sleep at least one night.
- 13:36Speaker 9: Mister Wa is quartered in the cell you see before.
- 13:39Speaker 4: And do you mind if we call on him? A
- 13:41Speaker 4: reverend sir?
- 13:41Speaker 9: Of course, not, my son, though you will waste your
- 13:44Speaker 9: breath in talking to him. He will not give you
- 13:47Speaker 9: permission to take the road to larsa.
- 13:52Speaker 4: He sleeps my son, let us not disturb him.
- 13:55Speaker 6: You don't mind the reverend, Sir, I must waken him.
- 13:58Speaker 6: If he can't be wakened, what can be wrong?
- 14:05Speaker 4: I think I know? I'm going in?
- 14:13Speaker 6: There is your answer for one, sir? He is, yes, Sir,
- 14:19Speaker 6: strangled with his own cue.
- 14:22Speaker 9: The poor misguided man has taken his own life.
- 14:25Speaker 6: No, sir, lo those marks on his shoulder has been murdered.
- 14:30Speaker 4: What are we to do as it happens to ravelin? Sir?
- 14:33Speaker 6: I had certain amount of experience with these matters in
- 14:36Speaker 6: my own country.
- 14:38Speaker 4: If I were to.
- 14:39Speaker 6: Produce the murderer for you, with certain proof of his guilt.
- 14:42Speaker 4: But you authorize my going to last time?
- 14:44Speaker 9: Yes, since for a few days that permission is mine
- 14:47Speaker 9: to give, I will grant it. You fill me with
- 14:50Speaker 9: a strange confidence. But how will you find this taker
- 14:54Speaker 9: of life?
- 14:55Speaker 6: I can't tell you now, sir, But I shall find him.
- 14:57Speaker 4: All that I acquires a little assistance from you. Of course,
- 15:00Speaker 4: what is it?
- 15:01Speaker 6: Let us suppose need to say push to God here
- 15:03Speaker 6: and get restrict orders that no one's to enter and
- 15:06Speaker 6: discompanied by me?
- 15:07Speaker 9: Very well, But my son, where are you going?
- 15:10Speaker 4: Before? Very long, sir, I hope to be on my
- 15:14Speaker 4: way to last sun.
- 15:24Speaker 1: Doctor Watson will tell us the rest of his story immediately,
- 15:26Speaker 1: So I'll just take a second to remind you that hamburgers, Yep,
- 15:29Speaker 1: hamburgers are practically in all American food.
- 15:33Speaker 4: We all love a good hamburger.
- 15:34Speaker 1: But where do you taste a juicy hamburger together with
- 15:37Speaker 1: a glass of Petrie California Burgundy. Why that Patrick Burgundy
- 15:41Speaker 1: is a hearty red wine. That's just the best friend
- 15:44Speaker 1: a hamburger, or steak, or any kind of meat dish
- 15:47Speaker 1: ever had. So remember, if you want a red wine
- 15:50Speaker 1: for dinner, you want Petrie Burgundy. If you prefer a
- 15:53Speaker 1: white wine, you want Petre So Turned. And if you
- 15:56Speaker 1: can't make up your mind what you want, it's simple,
- 15:59Speaker 1: go buy one by too, but always by Patrick P. E.
- 16:03Speaker 4: T R. I Patrick, doctor Watson.
- 16:08Speaker 1: It seems to me that Sherlock Holmes was in a
- 16:09Speaker 1: tough spot. There he was thousands of miles from England.
- 16:12Speaker 4: A murderer was running loose.
- 16:14Speaker 1: Holmes was in disguise, and he hadn't got you to
- 16:16Speaker 1: help him on again.
- 16:17Speaker 3: Oh thank you, mister, butell, I must say I think
- 16:19Speaker 3: that I was useful to my old friend, but I
- 16:23Speaker 3: wasn't there, So this time he enlisted the services of
- 16:26Speaker 3: Eileen Father, the American girl. Immediately after he'd left the
- 16:30Speaker 3: cell of the murdered man, he'd gone to my folly and.
- 16:33Speaker 2: Told over the tragedy.
- 16:34Speaker 3: As I returned to the scene of the crime, he
- 16:37Speaker 3: found that his instructions had been carried out and that
- 16:40Speaker 3: a guard.
- 16:40Speaker 2: Was barring the entrance the dead man's cell.
- 16:45Speaker 6: He was a guard in front of the abbit.
- 16:48Speaker 4: Gave you your orders.
- 16:50Speaker 2: Yes, are you mingle in?
- 16:56Speaker 6: He's closed the door behind us. Show your nerves around
- 17:01Speaker 6: to this, Miss Valley. It's not a prittish sight.
- 17:03Speaker 5: I've seen sudden death before, mister Holmes. In any case,
- 17:05Speaker 5: I would dare appear frightened. I'm so flattered that you
- 17:07Speaker 5: asked me to help you.
- 17:08Speaker 6: You were the only one who knew my true identity,
- 17:11Speaker 6: and it might suggest to take my old friend place.
- 17:13Speaker 6: I need to watch, and I say I needed a
- 17:15Speaker 6: sounded sounding brought for my deductions.
- 17:17Speaker 4: Women here like a match.
- 17:20Speaker 6: There we are. Now here's a candle. Oh, I wondered
- 17:25Speaker 6: if it wasn't a pretty site. Hold the candle with
- 17:26Speaker 6: the pleese, Miss Valley, thank you, this isn't hard to reconstruct.
- 17:30Speaker 6: Killer stood behind his victim and held him by the
- 17:32Speaker 6: left shoulder, so while his cue around his neck and
- 17:35Speaker 6: pulled back.
- 17:36Speaker 4: Yes, yes, the marks herself evident. Hello, what's this for's feet?
- 17:42Speaker 5: A cigarette dropped as it was burning, I should think,
- 17:45Speaker 5: and now it's nothing but ash jacky dash.
- 17:47Speaker 6: Now go to the visitors at the monasterismoke cigarettes yourself.
- 17:51Speaker 5: The Russian is so Harvey, the Englishman.
- 17:53Speaker 6: I think you may justifiably omit myself from the suspects,
- 17:56Speaker 6: so that nallows us stunt.
- 17:57Speaker 4: Took, miss Polly. What is it? Yeah, traces yet naked?
- 18:01Speaker 6: I'm not only a tobacco ash and paperer a cardboard.
- 18:04Speaker 5: But what does that signify?
- 18:05Speaker 4: Mister Jesus nearly Hart.
- 18:06Speaker 6: Come on, young lady, we must pay a visit to
- 18:08Speaker 6: borrowd him sell at once.
- 18:19Speaker 2: Arguments always are Harvey Forrester.
- 18:22Speaker 4: You give me the argument.
- 18:23Speaker 7: What's my dear borog You're not your dear Borigin.
- 18:26Speaker 10: I'm Petro Dimitrovitch Borigin, ambassador of Holy Mother Russia.
- 18:30Speaker 2: I'm a friend of yours.
- 18:32Speaker 10: Come in, Come in, Come in, Oh the missionary girl
- 18:37Speaker 10: and the sick Norwegian, come in we will drink vodka
- 18:41Speaker 10: and I will sing Russian songs for you.
- 18:43Speaker 5: We haven't come here to listen to songs. The Chinese
- 18:45Speaker 5: envoy was murdered tonight, so we have been told.
- 18:48Speaker 7: My dear so Harvey and I are very happy because
- 18:51Speaker 7: of his death.
- 18:52Speaker 2: Are we not? Well? I won't pretend I'm hot. What
- 18:56Speaker 2: is it, Norwegian?
- 18:57Speaker 4: You were in the cell tonight at the time of
- 18:59Speaker 4: the murder.
- 19:00Speaker 7: Ugh, that's a lot.
- 19:01Speaker 4: I can't prove it.
- 19:02Speaker 6: And that said, I've just found ashes, totally burnt cigarette
- 19:05Speaker 6: ashes that included fragments of cardboard only a Russian cigarette
- 19:10Speaker 6: as a cardboard mouthpiece.
- 19:12Speaker 7: What you can or cannot prove is of no interest
- 19:14Speaker 7: to me.
- 19:15Speaker 3: He's very obsolete tonight, and we've just been having a
- 19:18Speaker 3: politifical argument. Couldn't agree on a single point except on
- 19:22Speaker 3: the danger of the common man.
- 19:24Speaker 2: He was telling me of the most extraordinary revolution in
- 19:27Speaker 2: his estates. You know, they chop off one of his hangs.
- 19:31Speaker 4: D you're hand burrowed in quick which one.
- 19:33Speaker 10: As God was merciful my left and one beneath your
- 19:38Speaker 10: glove is made of works, my good Norwegian, He's made
- 19:41Speaker 10: of works mercy for yourself, extraordinary it's.
- 19:45Speaker 6: More than that. It is conclusive proof. What do you mean,
- 19:48Speaker 6: mister Secret, I cannot tell you now. I mist leave
- 19:50Speaker 6: you here. Let me warn you the three of you will.
- 19:54Speaker 4: Be well advised to keep an eye on each other.
- 19:56Speaker 6: Meanwhile, I'm see the abbot, Oh, mister Secrets, because now
- 19:59Speaker 6: I know who matter Fatsom.
- 20:20Speaker 9: The pink fingers of dawn are stealing across the mountaintop
- 20:24Speaker 9: my son.
- 20:26Speaker 4: Soon you will be on your way to lacer Yes,
- 20:29Speaker 4: Reverend Sir, you have kept your promise. You kept yours,
- 20:33Speaker 4: mister Sigerson.
- 20:34Speaker 9: The Chinese soldiers have arrived and the Taker of Life
- 20:37Speaker 9: has been.
- 20:38Speaker 4: Given into their custody.
- 20:40Speaker 9: Before you leave, my son, I want you to do
- 20:44Speaker 9: something for me, anything graver on, sir, What is it?
- 20:47Speaker 9: The hooden figure in the corner is that of the
- 20:50Speaker 9: monastery scribe.
- 20:51Speaker 4: He keeps our annimals.
- 20:53Speaker 9: I want you to explain for our records how you
- 20:57Speaker 9: knew which one of the three was the take of Life.
- 21:00Speaker 4: It was not difficult, sir.
- 21:01Speaker 6: The killer had gripped Watson's shoulder with the left hand
- 21:05Speaker 6: while the right was used to strangle him. Therefore, the
- 21:08Speaker 6: Russian Borodin could not be the icular since his left
- 21:11Speaker 6: hand was off fish.
- 21:12Speaker 4: Quite so, it was, as you told me, made of wax.
- 21:15Speaker 6: Then, but the glue of the cigarette pointed directly to
- 21:18Speaker 6: the Russian. Therefore it had obviously been planted there deliberately
- 21:21Speaker 6: to incriminate him. Now, there is no training police force
- 21:25Speaker 6: in Tibet would indeed no police.
- 21:27Speaker 4: There is no crime here, my son. But continue, Why
- 21:30Speaker 4: should the sigarette.
- 21:31Speaker 6: Be planted between criminate the Russian unless there was someone
- 21:34Speaker 6: capable of making the deduction from a handful of the
- 21:37Speaker 6: great ash. Therefore, the murderer was the one person who
- 21:40Speaker 6: knew my true identity. Miss Eileen Foley supposed mission no missionary,
- 21:45Speaker 6: as it transpired when she confessed, No America, no secret
- 21:50Speaker 6: service agents of a medical German origin seeking to reach
- 21:53Speaker 6: Lassa before the Russians.
- 21:55Speaker 4: And I'm furiated by Batsom's denial.
- 21:57Speaker 6: Of passage any secret services that are off without such employee.
- 22:02Speaker 9: She will pay for her mortal sins. May she redeem
- 22:05Speaker 9: herself with her next place on the wheeling.
- 22:10Speaker 4: My son, Yes, Reverend sir, you are about to leave me,
- 22:16Speaker 4: and I shall never see you again.
- 22:19Speaker 2: Though evil and.
- 22:20Speaker 6: Death came to pant A Pushbar and to my.
- 22:23Speaker 2: Monastery, in the caravan that brought you here.
- 22:27Speaker 4: I shall miss you, my son.
- 22:29Speaker 6: I shall miss you greatly, and I you reverence, Sir,
- 22:33Speaker 6: Would you consider staying here? I can only offer you peace,
- 22:38Speaker 6: a shelter from the outside world, and quiet companionship. Three
- 22:44Speaker 6: great gifts, but I cannot take them. My work is
- 22:48Speaker 6: not done. I must go on, of course, my son.
- 22:52Speaker 6: It was an old man's dream. One last question, What
- 22:56Speaker 6: is it so you spoke of your true identity?
- 23:00Speaker 4: Just now?
- 23:01Speaker 2: Who are you? My son?
- 23:04Speaker 6: Reverend Sir? I cannot tell even you the answer to
- 23:08Speaker 6: that question. One day perhaps, but not now. Let us
- 23:13Speaker 6: just say that I've wandered through a world of trouble,
- 23:16Speaker 6: just as you have remained tankled in a world of peace.
- 23:21Speaker 6: I hope, Sir, that.
- 23:23Speaker 4: We should meet again. I hope so too.
- 23:27Speaker 6: Goodbye, my son, Goodbye, Reverend Sir, goodbye,
