• 0:00
  Speaker 1: And now I'm sure our good friend doctor Watson's ready
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: for us.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Let's go in and join me. It at doctors.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Dogs seem very jeppard in night, doctor, as they've been
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: getting in any more trouble later.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: Oh my boy, it's been a relatively quark week for them.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: One meeting with the dead seal, two visits to my
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: neighbor's chickens, and then losing battle today with a cross
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: eyed Samese cat.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: You call that a quiet week, not just.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: For them, but never mind about the dogs. Drop your
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: usual chair and make so comfortable, just in terms to
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: join me in a glass of shirt.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: That'll be very nice doctor. Oh, I see you have
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the oldest patch box out of here.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Yes, my boy, that's the story I'm going to tell
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: you tonight took place at eighteen hundred and eighty seven.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: I thought i'd better refresh my memory on some of
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: the details of the case. But shortly after my marriage,
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: and as I had bought a practice in the Paddington district,
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: I saw very little of my old friend Sherlock.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Home, which I was dartering in those early days.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: A struggle, my boy, dit struggle. Dr Parkbar from whom
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: I had bought. The practice had at one time an
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: excellent clontel, but his aide, combined with an unfortunate fiction
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: he that resembled some vice's dance, had very much thinned it.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: I had a conference home in my youth and in
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: my energy, and I was convinced in a very few
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: years the practice would be as flashing as ever. But
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: as I said, I saw very little of homes in
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: those days.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I guess you were too busy to visit Baker Street,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: and I here you guess quite correctly, mister.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Butto quite correctly, a home seldom went anywhere himself save
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: on professional business. You can imagine my surprise therefore, when
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: one day, on coming home from a heavy day's work,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: I found that Holmes had decided to pay us a visit.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: My wife persuaded him to state to dinner, and as
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: the three of us sat at the table, afflicting candlelight,
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: dancing strange patterns on the walls, did it quite like
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: old times? Holmes was in an unusually game food, and
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: I can remember the twinkle in his eye he turned
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: to my work.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: Watson did an unexpected guest on the night out. I'm
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: extremely grateful. This is Hudson's cooking, though excellent of its kind,
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: lacks variety.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Your dinner has been quite a treat.
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: That's a very gracious little speech here to her.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: I've never known you to be so observant about food.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: That's the lack of your company, my dear Chap, and
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: the consequent lonely meals has made me conscious of Missus
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: Hudson's cuminary shortcomings.
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: I am, I suppose you're taking John out with you
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: tonight on one of your cases.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I know, missus Watson. Now I can understand your suspicions.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: My visit was purely social. That's going the other room
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: and have a pipe.
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: Sure, well, don't you think you'd be more comfortable at
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: the club?
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: So many if you want to get rid of us?
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: No, deed, it's not that.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: It's just they are visitor as you at any moment,
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: and you had counted on the house being.
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: Emptied by Now, how on earth did you know that.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Past half are?
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: You've been glancing at the clock with mumping exiety. I
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: feel sure that if it had been not been for
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: my unexpected visit, your your good husband had already been
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: walking what's his club?
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: It is my custom to go to the club on Thursdays.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: But heard you know, I.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Know your habits. My dad jab as well. It's not
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: better than you do. It's a It's a good thing.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: I'm a bachelor, isn't it, missus what?
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: Indeed the wife could keep no secrets from you with
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: the hose. I'm sure.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Well, Merrida, who is your visitor? And what is the
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: secret to you you've been hiding?
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: It's innocent enough, John, as Thursdays is the maid's night
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: out and you've been going to the club.
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: I've been letting less.
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: You went with me to a young man here with
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: me the chepers.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: That's mystery, Well, Watson, if I was on the wing,
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: and I'm sure we had dreadfully in the way, let's
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: strow the biggest reach of it.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Because I'll get my coat. Why didn't you tell me? Man?
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: Well, I was a bid.
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: You be angry, John, Alia is such a sweet girl,
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: and Harry Freendergast is a very charming young man. He
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: comes from an excellent family, has a commission in the infantry,
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: and the children are tremendously in love. But her beastly
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: guardian forbidden them to be so I oh, yes, she
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: is now.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Well, we can pretend that we were just leaving anywhere.
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: Yes, I'll get my coat, Missus Watchman, so glad to
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: sing Elifi.
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: This is my husband and missus Shella Combe.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: How do you do? It's a shame that we have
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: to go now, but my friend and I have some
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: very important business to attend.
• 4:35
  Speaker 7: Comes the detective, aren't you?
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Miss Wentworth?
• 4:37
  Speaker 7: Please don't go, mister Holmes, please don't I need help
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: so bad?
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: Alicia?
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: What's wrong?
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: It is white as a ghost.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Let's go to the drawing room.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: John, what's troubling you, Miss Wentworth.
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: It's Harry Captain Freendergast. I don't know exactly what's the matter,
• 4:51
  Speaker 7: but something dreadful has happened to him.
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: And now sit down here beside me to hear.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Miss Wentworth. What reason do you have to
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: suppose that Captain Freendergast is in trouble?
• 5:00
  Speaker 7: I've seen friends of it today. They spoke of him
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: almost as if he were dead, and yet they wouldn't
• 5:04
  Speaker 7: tell me why. And just now I went to his
• 5:07
  Speaker 7: club and they told me that Captain Prendiguest was not
• 5:09
  Speaker 7: a member.
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: But he is a member.
• 5:11
  Speaker 7: He's been a number for years.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: Oh, what's happened to it? What has happened to me?
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: Is there?
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: Dear? Mister Holmes, will help you, don't you cry? You
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: will been to the police, Miss no doctor, they say.
• 5:23
  Speaker 7: I went to my guardian, but he wouldn't let me
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: go to the police. He said they'd be a scandal.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: But then he has said to a fine family.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: And why does your garden objective object.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: To him so strongly?
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: I don't think he would approve of anyone I choose.
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: He doesn't want me to get married.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Oh, it sounds like a positive hgre to me. Who
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: is your guardian?
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: Maname Colonel Morane, Colonel Sebastian Moran.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: Indeed, he's a man who has many entries against him
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: in my ledgers, but a man that I've ever met.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: I have long hoped to cross sods with him directly.
• 5:55
  Speaker 7: But how could Uncle Seblgtian have anything to do with
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: the criminal profession? Mister Holmes, he's a SA and.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: It's Sir August Moran.
• 6:01
  Speaker 7: He was once British Minister to Persia. You must be
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: confusing him.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: With someone else.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: No, my dear, it's the same man.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: And furthermore, I'm almost certain that your guardian is the
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: right hand man of a certain friend of mine whose
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: name also begins.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: With the free letters m O R good Lord, my art.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: I have no proof, and yet I suspect that Colonel
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: Moran is the second most dangerous man in London, Sir
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: Harry Lusty.
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: Oh poor girl. I do hope you can help her, Mister.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Holmes, I should do my best.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Missus Wilson, that is a young man of the dad.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: It's more than likely her problem doesn't exist in Ilie Hurka.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Right, Watson.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: Colonel Moran is a guardian. I'm afraid the young lady
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: is destined to have trouble.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Harry.
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: I'm still glad to see you, Harry, this is my husband.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: How do you do? Doctor?
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: How do you do?
• 6:46
  Speaker 8: My boy?
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: And missus Chillico?
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: How do you do? Captain friendy Gus?
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: How do you do?
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: Sir Harry? What's wrong?
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: I can tell by your face it's something dreadful.
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: It's happening.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: But Hairs Darley, tell mister Holmes about it.
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: He's promised to help her.
• 6:57
  Speaker 9: Well, Sir, I'm afraid this is a little outside of
• 6:59
  Speaker 9: your providence.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Now you will find that my friend's province is quite
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: extensive peninger.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: I've been more un happy to do anything I can
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: to help, sir.
• 7:06
  Speaker 9: It's very nice of Insterholmes.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Well, it's pretty bad.
• 7:09
  Speaker 9: Last night I was accused of cheating at cards at
• 7:12
  Speaker 9: the Tankerville Club. Of course I don't have to tell
• 7:15
  Speaker 9: you that I didn't cheat, but the evidence was dead
• 7:17
  Speaker 9: against me. I'd been winning heavily and the cards were
• 7:20
  Speaker 9: proved to be marked.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Marked How there were pin pricks on the edges.
• 7:25
  Speaker 9: Pin pricks which indicated the card's value.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: How did a pack of cards come into play?
• 7:30
  Speaker 9: That's the devil of it. I myself broke open a
• 7:33
  Speaker 9: sealed pack given to me by the club porter, and
• 7:35
  Speaker 9: I swear that was the pack that was later found
• 7:37
  Speaker 9: of bemarked.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Is everyone search, Yes, But.
• 7:40
  Speaker 9: They found a new, unopened pack in my pocket.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: The obvious implication being that you had substituted the marked cards.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Of course I can.
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: See what happened.
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: Somebody deliberately tried to incriminate you by dropping the new
• 7:52
  Speaker 7: pack in your.
• 7:52
  Speaker 9: Pocket, of course, darling. But what I can't understand is
• 7:55
  Speaker 9: how the marked pack was introduced into the game.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Were there any other cards found.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: In the room door the Tankerville eh Gel Moran is
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: a member of the club, isn't.
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: Yes, he is hunkers about. He uses it all the time.
• 8:06
  Speaker 9: He was present at the game last night, Alesia.
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: Oh, Harry, now we're worse off than ever. If he
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: thinks you'd cheated his cards, you'll never let us get married.
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: Now, don't worry, Olythia. I'm sure that mister Holmes can
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: find a way after this.
• 8:19
  Speaker 9: I'm afraid it would be too late. I couldn't marry
• 8:21
  Speaker 9: you now, Alysia, What do you mean, hen they forced
• 8:24
  Speaker 9: me to resign from the club. That's a bad enough disgrace,
• 8:28
  Speaker 9: but I know those worse to come. You see, I
• 8:30
  Speaker 9: was expecting my promotion to major any day now will
• 8:33
  Speaker 9: be a miracle if I'm not cashiered from the regiment.
• 8:36
  Speaker 9: What kind of a life can I offer you, Harry?
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: Are you talking absolute nonsense?
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: I think, Captain Freendygast, the next step is obvious. We
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: mist removed this of parents stain on your character. But
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: how this one person can stay here with missus Watson
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: the doctor and I will drive over in a cab
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: with you to the club and see what can be done.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: What, h what kind of a card game were you
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: playing last night?
• 9:09
  Speaker 9: For gust stud poker. Ever since the American Ambassador introduced
• 9:13
  Speaker 9: it at the club, it's been quite a favorite.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: The perfect game, the marked cards, which requires no elaborate
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: dexterity in the dealings into the knowledge of your opponents.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Poll card. How many of you were playing? Half a
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: dozen of us?
• 9:24
  Speaker 9: You were winning heavily and said yes, doctor, though one
• 9:28
  Speaker 9: of the others, a fellow named David Harkness, was doing well.
• 9:32
  Speaker 9: Now I come to think of it, Harkness almost seemed
• 9:34
  Speaker 9: to know when I was bluffing, as though he could
• 9:36
  Speaker 9: see the marked card.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Perhaps he was the one who marked them.
• 9:39
  Speaker 9: It's possible, and yet certainly no one could accuse him
• 9:42
  Speaker 9: of tricky dealing.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: He was so clumsy with his bandaged finger.
• 9:46
  Speaker 9: How did you know he had a bandaged finger?
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: Now, I'll tell you that, Captain Wendy gat when you
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: tell me what's really on your mind?
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: And there's a great deal more at stake than a
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: card scandal, isn't there?
• 9:55
  Speaker 9: Yes, there is. I didn't dare to tell Unlessia about it.
• 9:58
  Speaker 9: You see, I'm fighting a duel tomorrow, du lord with
• 10:03
  Speaker 9: whom Colonel Moran he insulted me last night. He goded
• 10:07
  Speaker 9: me beyond the man's patience. He taught at me, and
• 10:09
  Speaker 9: I couldn't stand it any longer, and so I challenged it.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: And in so doing gave him the choice of weapons.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Yes to the finish.
• 10:16
  Speaker 9: Of course, he chose revolvers.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Marina was a big game hunter of notes. He was
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: reputed to be the best shot in England.
• 10:21
  Speaker 9: And I'm probably the worst in London. If only I
• 10:24
  Speaker 9: can shoot as well as I can box, I'm regimental
• 10:27
  Speaker 9: champion lader revolvers.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Good Heaven's man. Revolver's a duel with Moranis is suicide
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: for you?
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: No, it's not suicide.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: Art I thank at clod Deah cab it keep the
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: change with him, Thank you, governor. Suicide. No, what's not suicide.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: This is exactly a late plan for murder. Say Heaven
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: that we are not too late to avert it.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Is mister Hartnesster. You want him, sir, Yes see he
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: went to his room half an hour ago. Number one
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: hundred mites up the main stairs and down the.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Corrige is thank you.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: I want you to follow us in precisely one minute
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: and bring a sealed pack at the club's playing cards
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: to mister Harkness's room.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: It's understand.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Oh yes, sir, and thank you? Did you did you
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: make the arrangement?
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Yes? Come on, that's doctor Harkness's room.
• 11:33
  Speaker 9: The three members have cut me dead since I came
• 11:35
  Speaker 9: in here, the most humiliating experienced.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: At patients, Captain Pendergast, and I'm sure your honor will
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: be in the counter indicated.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you what you were up to home.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: I'm got to try and restage the drama that was
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: presented in this club last night, the only difference being
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: that my production a lot of cars.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: That's a little different. Anger we are now let me
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: do the talking.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: Head.
• 12:01
  Speaker 10: You want something, Prendergast, I don't want you in my rooms.
• 12:05
  Speaker 10: I don't know why they allowed you inside the club.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: There's in mister hapiness, please.
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: No, I won't take it.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Put out of the door and found mister three of us.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: I think you better let us in.
• 12:15
  Speaker 9: You're going to let us sell Hartless all right?
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: Come in.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Thank you for your hospitality, sir.
• 12:23
  Speaker 9: Now perhaps you fellows will tell me what the devil
• 12:25
  Speaker 9: you think you're.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Up to with pleasure.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: As you very well know, mister Happiness, this is probably
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: Captain Pendergast last day on earth.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: He has one request to make of you, that.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: You join him in a farewell game of poker with
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: us to throw you bear no gludges.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: It's fantastic.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: You're all insane.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: By the way, mister Happiness, I'm delighted to notice that
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: your sore finger seems to have healed with great rapidity
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: by an obscu incidence.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: You'll observe that I seem to ringured n mister Helms
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: when you do that.
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: In the carriage as now, yes, scratch. Fortunately I had
• 12:57

  Speaker 3: Men.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Yes, Taylor, what is it big?
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: In your pardon, mister Harkness. But the gentleman asked me
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: to bring the sealed pack of cards. He put them
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: on the table. Taylor, very good, Say.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Well, what's the game stud took, mister Harkness.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: The game is rich are quite familiar, I understand, and
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: mistakes a man's honor, possibly another man's freedom. Open the pack,
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: mister Hartness, and jeal us all the hand. I should
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: think this might be a very unusual game.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: You only have the rest of doctor Watson's story in
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: just a few seconds. Time for me to explain that
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Patrick California's sherry is not only an ideal wine to
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: serve before dinner, but it's also the perfect wine for
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: almost any occasion. Patrick Sherry is fine after dinner.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: When you're listening to the radio or just sitting around talking.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: And of course, you couldn't ask for a finer party
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: wine than Patrie sherry, especially if your party is at
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: cocktail time. If you don't know what wine to buy,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: you can't go wrong with Petrie sherry. But be sure
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: it's Petrie. Look for the letters P E, T R I.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: They spell the proudest name in the history of American wine,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Doctor Watson.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: That was quite a game of poker. You were settling
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: down too.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: I have a feeling that Sherlock Holmes had an ace
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: or two up his lead, didn't.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: He figuratively did mister Bartolo. At the time, I must
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: confess to thes usual, I was pretty much in the dark.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: David Harvis opened the new sealed pack of cards, and
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: the four of us played a hand of poker. It
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: was easy to see that our willing host was far
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: from happy. His penity eyes darted from one to the
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: other of us as he played our cards. He knew
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: that he was a victim of a constitracy, and so
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: he was watching every move we made. Finally, as that
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: strange game progressed, Captain Fendigas leaned across the table and said,
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: do you my little cost to expected a limit to
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: find out? How cholious are you? H Joe? I think
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: you are bluffing, Harkness.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: I'll see you and be a pool to Watson when
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: he has a straight flush. What do you mean, Holmes, My.
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: Dear Hartness, The markings are quite a talent, I assure you,
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: to someone who knows what he's looking for.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: But you mean that these cards are marked too.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Examine them, pier celphole, Chap.
• 15:27
  Speaker 9: They are marked that can prick, just like they've had
• 15:29
  Speaker 9: last night.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: It's impossible, heartless broke the seals and you packed us.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: Now we also him good. He couldn't have slitched the pack.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: And why would I do that?
• 15:36
  Speaker 9: Even if I could, I wouldn't find cheat, mister Shellock.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Holmes, I know, mister Harkness. I just wanted you to
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: know that I understood the trick.
• 15:42
  Speaker 9: What trick, mister Holmes, The.
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: Same one that was played on you last night, Captain
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: friendI gas this was a demonstration of how easily a
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: sealed pack of cards may be turned into a marked
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: one by a man with a sore finger.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: Will therese's soft finger gotta do at home?
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: It's very simple, Watson, A pin head or a thumb
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: tack in under the bandage, a tiny I shout against
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: the card one wishes to mark as it comes into
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: one's hand, and after several deals, Hey, pristol, I'm at tech.
• 16:08
  Speaker 9: So that's how it was done.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: You can't do it homes.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: You can't do the thing you went here last night,
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: or unfortunately I wasn't, mister Hartness.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Otherwise I used.
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: To have a great pleasure of exposing your trick at
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: the time. As it is, I should have to rely
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: on a public confession.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: You will never get a confession from im, possibly, not
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: that I'm sure that you'll be interested to know.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: But I've made quite an extensive study of card sharping.
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: In fact, I considered giving a little lecture or demonstration
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: here at the club. What are you talking about? This
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: game that we've just played was in the nature of
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: a rehearsal. I should have cause stressed this particular method
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: as being of great local interest. I'm sure as to
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: the gambling members will recall one man who has had
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: unusually bad luck with his finger homes.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: You're trying to ruin me.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Well, you were willing to see prenegas run.
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: And killed, but a pistol duel with Colonel Moran is
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: almost equivalent to me.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: What do you want me to do?
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: From the direction of your glants, mister Harkness, I'm certain
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: that you keep a loaded revolver in your desk's draw.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: That's very poor a solution I ashow you. Why not
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: be a man? Write a confession and sign it if
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: your pre.
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: Captain Freendigast for many stigma and it will help to
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: trap the real culprit Colonel Sebastian Moran Ram.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Where did he come into the picture home?
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Mister Harkness knows, don't you?
• 17:22
  Speaker 9: And I think I know now? Why don't you tell us?
• 17:24
  Speaker 9: Hartner's one thing at a time, Pendergast, I owe it
• 17:27
  Speaker 9: to you to write a confession.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: I'll do that rather than face a public exposure in
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: the cup.
• 17:31
  Speaker 8: But that's as far as I'll go.
• 17:32
  Speaker 9: If you have any ideas about Maran, go and talk
• 17:34
  Speaker 9: to yourselves.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: There's a certain honor.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: Even among thieves.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Thank you for the implication. Mister Harniss, you have writing
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: materials here? Yes, I have writing materials. How blended?
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: Then while you are telling the truth about last night's episode,
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: we'll call on Colonel Sebasti Moran.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Have you any idea where we might find him at
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: the Samini?
• 17:52
  Speaker 9: Yes, I have every idea.
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: You'll find him in the gun room.
• 17:55
  Speaker 9: Thinks he has a jewel on his hands tomorrow in the.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: Gunroomy, thank you, mister Harkness. We'll go and talk to him.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: You may expect us back within half an hour.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Who are you?
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Fellows?
• 18:17
  Speaker 8: Turn the gat up, don't you?
• 18:19
  Speaker 9: Colonel Moren? This is mister sherbrock Holes.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: And doctor Watson. How do you do, Colonel Moren. I've
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: been wanting to meet you for a very long time.
• 18:26
  Speaker 9: Sherlock Holmes.
• 18:27
  Speaker 11: I've heard a lot about you, and I view Colonel Herry.
• 18:30
  Speaker 11: What are you doing inside the club? Mister Holmes brought
• 18:32
  Speaker 11: me back. We've just left David Harkness's room. He's writing
• 18:36
  Speaker 11: a confession that he engineered the swindle last night, that
• 18:39
  Speaker 11: he deliberately tried to involve me.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: So in that case, I.
• 18:43
  Speaker 8: Suppose I need all this revolver no longer Harkness is
• 18:47
  Speaker 8: a cheat.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Dear me, how shocking.
• 18:50
  Speaker 9: Aren't you glad that my name will be cleared in
• 18:51
  Speaker 9: this business?
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Of course I am.
• 18:53
  Speaker 8: I'm delighted.
• 18:54
  Speaker 9: Don't you'll apologize for the things that you said last night?
• 18:57
  Speaker 11: Yes, Harry, I'll apologize, but you must realize so this
• 19:00
  Speaker 11: revelation makes no difference to my feelings about your marriage
• 19:02
  Speaker 11: to Alicia.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: On my soul, Colonel Moran, it seems to me that
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: one man Watson, I think the name is Watson. Is
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: my name is Watson, Doctor Watson.
• 19:12
  Speaker 8: I would suggest that the happiness of my ward is
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: a matter that cannot possibly concern you.
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: Now look here, sir, Colonel Moran, I think I may
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: be able to change your mind on the question of
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: your ward's marriage.
• 19:25
  Speaker 8: How very interesting? And what makes you labor under that delusion?
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: Would you care to have it known at the club
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: that you were deliberately planned Captain Freendy Gast's murder?
• 19:34
  Speaker 8: What in sundry you're talking about?
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: You know, sir, that about a duel with you is
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: no duel, It's a cold bloody killing rubbish.
• 19:40
  Speaker 11: I was challenged. Therefore I had the choice of weapons.
• 19:44
  Speaker 11: Actually I chose the weapon with which I was most familiar.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: And you have the choice.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: For a very good reason, Colonel Moran, you forced Frendi
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: Gast into a duel because it was the only way
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: you could be certain that he'd never marry your.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Ward Alicia, What do you know about her?
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: Well, don't you think, sir? She said, my wife's house
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: is very minute.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: As she suspects you are jealousy and gets far more
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: likely that the financial anstect of guardianship is involved here.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: A financial accounting is due upon her marriage, isn't it.
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: That's none of your business.
• 20:10
  Speaker 9: An accounting is due, mister Holmes, unless you told me
• 20:12
  Speaker 9: thats exactly, and the accounts were in no state to
• 20:15
  Speaker 9: undergo scrutiny, The answer is obvious.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: They did, Hartness, a card shop? Was the need of money?
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: You induced him to practice his cheating last night in
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: order that you could trap Captain Prendigast into a duel.
• 20:28
  Speaker 8: Hartness, what the devil do you want that revolver down?
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: You fool?
• 20:31
  Speaker 10: Don't care about my own disgrace, but you're going to
• 20:33
  Speaker 10: pay for your hair. And if man got that revolver heart,
• 20:35
  Speaker 10: don't you see that?
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: You're Oh.
• 20:39
  Speaker 8: Maran, you you shut him, You saw that it was
• 20:42
  Speaker 8: in self defense. Gentlemen, he was waiting a loaded revolver
• 20:46
  Speaker 8: at me. It's most unfortunate, but it was in self defence.
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, self defense that removed the one dangerous witness who
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: could have testified against you.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: He's dead Watson's knee, Yes, got right to the heart.
• 20:59
  Speaker 9: Moran, you're a cold blooded, murdering devil.
• 21:02
  Speaker 8: I demand satisfaction for that insult. These gentlemen are my witnesses.
• 21:06
  Speaker 11: I apologize for the misunderstanding last night.
• 21:08
  Speaker 8: But this is a different matter. You've insulted me. Harry
• 21:10
  Speaker 8: the dunel won't take place.
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: Colonel Moran and doctor Watson myself will act as seconds
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: for Captain Friendygast. Let's make the necessary arrangement, shall win?
• 21:38
  Speaker 7: Missus Watson, there's a lucie, dear, it's two o'clock. What
• 21:44
  Speaker 7: can have happened to them? They left here just after eight.
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: If you've been married to John for any length of time,
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: my dear, you wouldn't worry when your husband goes out
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: with Sir la Combe.
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: You're prepared not to see him for a few days.
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: Missus Watson, where are you? He was saying, Oh, you
• 22:00
  Speaker 7: haven't got a husband?
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: Oh, Oh, now, Alicia, don't glower at me like that.
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: What did you say? The time was?
• 22:09
  Speaker 7: It's just after two and they left here at eight.
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: What can have happened?
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: I don't know, but mister Holmes was with him, so
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: don't worry, my dear. He's frightfully clever. I wouldn't be
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: surprised there at.
• 22:21
  Speaker 7: The front door.
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: Now they're back. Oh, dear me, Now I'll have to
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: make corpo terrry sary, Darling. What's happened?
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: All lots of things, Darling.
• 22:29
  Speaker 9: I'm a member of the Takaville Club again. I'll probably
• 22:32
  Speaker 9: become a major, and you'll certainly become missus Prendergast before
• 22:35
  Speaker 9: very long.
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: Oh it all sounds wonderful. What have you two been
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: up to?
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: Fortel story men, dear home solved the case and it
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: all ended happily.
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: Happily, my dear Watson, that's hardly the word to use.
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: Harkness is did and Colonel Moran is probably in hospital.
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: Please tell me what happened?
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: You are?
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: Your guardian challenged Captain Prendigast with duel, and he overlooked
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: the fact that since he was the challenger, the choice
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: of weapons belong.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: To his opponent perfs. You can guess what the choice
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: was boxing gloves.
• 23:04
  Speaker 9: If we've just come from the gymnasium at the Club Olitia.
• 23:07
  Speaker 9: I'm afraid I really gave him a thresh and I.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Will deserve one too.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: I'm una sorry that I couldn't put him, but he
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: belongs behind prison bars.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: Oh, Harry, he'll be the laughing struggle London.
• 23:17
  Speaker 7: I'm glad of it, but that means that you'll never
• 23:19
  Speaker 7: consent to our being married.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: I disagree, Miss Winford.
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: If we keep his secret, and we've hinted that we might,
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: I'm quite certain that he'll withdoys objections to the marriage,
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: and somehow he'll make up his deficiencies and his God
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: didn't you account.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: Probably by borrowing money from Professor Moriarty O.
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: I think it's all wonderful, but it's will after two
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: o'clock in the morning.
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: Let's go into the kitchen, shall we. I'll make some coco.
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: Follow us, skill, Harry, you and Alicia they're here who
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: probably have the plans to make.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: Shut down.
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: I assumes the coco's ready.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: We'll call you.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Doctor, that was some story, you know. I'm glad the
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: age of dueling is over. I hate to have someone
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: challenge me.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: To a duels? Are you afraid of being hurt?
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Afraid of being hurt?
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: Of course not.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: If someone challenges me to a duel, I have the
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: right to choose the weapons, don't.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: I isn't what weapons? Would you choose?
• 24:34
  Speaker 8: Cream pups at thirty paces?
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna hurt me that hold on, Come to think
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: of it, is that a cream pups?
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: I'd rather have a piece of cake. Oh right, a
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: piece of cake because it tastes so.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Good with a glass of Petrie sherry.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Any questions, No questions for.
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: A while, or I'll bet you thought.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: I'd forgotten all about that.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: Oh I'm forgotten about it.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: No, not anybody who's ever tasted it.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Petrie wine is the kind of wine you'll always remember.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: That's because the Petrie family really knows how to make
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: good wine. They've been making wine for generations. Wine making
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: is their heritage. It's an art that's been handed on
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: down in the Petrie family, from father to son, from
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: father to son. Every drop of Petree wine is clear, fragrant,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: and delicious, as delicious as the lucious sun ripe in California.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Grapes from which it's made.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Remember, the name Petrie on a bottle of wine is
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: more than a trademark. It's the personal assurance of the
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Petrie family that their wine is the kind of wine
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: you like. For any occasion, you can't miss with Petrie
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: wine because Petrie took time to bring you good wine. Well,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: doctor Watson, what new Sherlock Holmes story are you planning
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: to tell us next week?
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: Well, now let me see. Uh next week? Uh, next
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: week is Tobato. I'm going to tell you an adventure
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: that took place in the Gava of the nineties. Concerns
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: a strange tragedy that occurred on a boreom floor and
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: a weird series of murders that were punctuated by the
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: sound of music. I call the story the Wuz of Death.
