Speaker 1: Cremel Hair Tonic and Cremel Shampoo presents The New Adventures
0:16
of Sherlock Holmes, starring Nigel Bruce as Dr Watson and
0:20
Tom Conway at Sherlock Holmes. Oh here we are once
0:33
more in Doctor Watson's study. Maybe we're not glad to
0:36
get here. We hadn't had a Sherlock Holmes story waiting
0:39
for us at the other end, we'd have never ventured
0:41
out on a night like this.
0:42
Speaker 2: Pretty bad well around and mister it.
0:45
Speaker 3: Is Doctor Watson.
0:46
Speaker 1: There's a cold wind that chose it as the boone.
0:49
I had one hand holding my coat color and the
0:51
other holding my head.
0:52
Speaker 3: All the way over, I felt.
0:53
Speaker 1: As though some malignant deity were determined to keep me
0:56
from reaching your door. Hear that wind homes reminds me
1:00
of what I just escaped from.
1:02
Speaker 4: Oh it's typical Edinburgh weather, mister Bell, Perhaps you've heard
1:06
that there's no language richer in terms of reproach against
1:09
the howling wind and the Scots darling snow blind nell
1:14
lere scathering to mention just a handful all of them
1:18
words that carry a shiver with him es as Stevenson
1:22
so aptly puts it, Edinburgh pays cruelly for our high
1:25
seat and commanding views in one of the vilest climates
1:29
under heaven. She's liable to be beaten upon by all
1:32
the winds of the blow, to be drenched with rain,
1:34
to be buried in cold sea fogs out of the east,
1:37
and powdered with the snow as it comes flying southward
1:40
from the highland hills. The weather's raw and boisterless in winter,
1:44
shifty and ungenial in summer, and a downright purgatory in
1:48
the spring.
1:49
Speaker 1: It sounds like a pretty unattractive place.
1:51
Speaker 3: Doctor.
1:51
Speaker 2: Well there you are entirely round, mister Bell.
1:53
Speaker 4: Nowhere will you find such stark magnificence, such grim beauty. Edinburgh,
2:00
the great granite Sphinx of the North, crouching high on
2:03
a towering rock, looking across the intervening Plains.
2:06
Speaker 2: To the waters of the Fourth and to the North Sea.
2:09
Speaker 4: Fascinating, regal, splendid and cruel. Yes, I think this is
2:16
just the night to tell the story of the Haunted Bagpipes.
2:20
One of the weirdest and most gruesome adventures at homes.
2:22
Speaker 2: Than I ever shared. The setting was Edinburgh and.
2:26
Speaker 4: The motivating character Professor Moriarty Professor Moriarty, the man Holmes
2:32
called a Napoleon of crime.
2:34
Speaker 2: Exactly.
2:35
Speaker 1: I wondered when we were going to have another of
2:36
your famous bouts with Professor Moriarty.
2:39
Speaker 3: They're always pretty hair raising.
2:40
Speaker 4: Yes, and I think I can safely promise you that
2:42
this is the most hair raising of the lot. In fact,
2:45
it's so unbelievdly macabre and gruesome that I've never told
2:49
it to any but to my closest friends, those who
2:51
know that I'm a truthful man.
2:54
Speaker 2: In fact, sometimes in the same.
2:56
Speaker 4: Light of day, I doubt myself that this adventure really,
3:01
But a night like this brings it all back to
3:03
me in all its horror. Yes, mister Bell, on a
3:07
night like this, we realize that anything is possible.
3:12
Speaker 1: Now, Doctor Watson, won't you please go on with the Sorry,
3:15
the shivers run up and down my spine in anticipation.
3:18
Speaker 2: Certain it will. As I look back on that particular
3:20
is it to Edinburgh?
3:22
Speaker 4: It seems that a cold fear settled into the very
3:24
marrow of my bones from the moment we got off
3:27
the train late one winter afternoon and caught our first
3:30
glimpse of Edinburgh Castle, rising bleak and menacing out of
3:35
a cloud of fog and rain.
3:38
Speaker 3: There it is Watson and all its austere majesty Edinburgh Castle.
3:43
Speaker 4: Nice, impressive file of stone, nice little grim.
3:47
Speaker 5: No grimmer than its history.
3:48
Speaker 3: Watson, part castle, part fortress, part prison. Wars have been
3:53
plotted there, Dancing has lasted deep into the night, Murder
3:57
has been done in its chain.
3:59
Speaker 4: This is I'm to stand here chatting, let's get out,
4:02
and I.
4:02
Speaker 2: Just confind it.
4:03
Speaker 5: Read rain, Watson, you are getting soft.
4:06
Speaker 3: This isn't rain.
4:07
Speaker 5: It's just a good Scotch.
4:08
Speaker 4: Missed, missed my grandmother, and I'm soaked to the skin
4:11
and my teeth a chatting my cast iNTS.
4:14
Speaker 2: Thank heaven.
4:15
Speaker 4: The town has a few mun hotels, nice hot tuddy
4:19
at the Royal.
4:20
Speaker 3: Eh. I'm sorry to disappoint you, Watson, but this is
4:22
not a pleasure trip. We must forego the luxuries of
4:25
Princess Street and take up our quarters in the old town,
4:28
the old town homes.
4:29
Speaker 4: You mean that we're going to live in one of
4:31
those crumbling graystone houses, all huddled together on the.
4:34
Speaker 2: Slope reading up to the castle.
4:36
Speaker 3: Exactly why there are nothing but tenements but those lands,
4:39
as they are called, once housed the flower of the
4:41
Scottish nobility. In the old days, this was a walled
4:45
city and space was at a premium. That is why
4:48
those crazy buildings star eight and ten stories.
4:50
Speaker 4: Into the earth of the Day's a nobility here over
4:53
those tenements are full of goodness.
4:54
Speaker 3: Those what true? What more suitable dwelling place could one
4:58
imagine for our friend, for a Samriati Professor Moriarty. Quite
5:03
you may have noticed, Watson, that London has been singularly
5:06
free from crime during the last few months, and for
5:09
a very good reason. Professor Moriarty was not in residence.
5:12
Speaker 4: Oh you mean that you think we've succeeded in driving
5:14
him out.
5:14
Speaker 3: No, Watson, let us not underrate the professor. He is
5:18
not in London because he has business elsewhere. But where
5:21
I confess I was in complete ignorance until the day
5:24
before yesterday morning, when I received a telegram informing me
5:27
that one of Moriarty's chief assistants had been seen trowling
5:30
through the graves at Greyfriars. Then I remember that Professor
5:34
Moriarty has a particular reason for hating Edinburgh. He's not
5:37
a man to forget his grudges, Watson. The question is
5:40
shall we be in time to prevent his revenge. But here,
5:43
get into this cab before you catch him.
5:45
Speaker 4: William Mariatti in Edinburgh. I thought that the press is
5:51
even more forbidding than usual.
5:53
Speaker 3: Okay, let us out in front of Saint Giles.
5:56
Speaker 6: Hi, I say, Holmes, Whys and Charles.
6:16
Speaker 2: You're not going into sight seeing this Cammonday.
6:18
Speaker 3: No, Watson, we must go from there on by Portland Trade.
6:22
Speaker 2: Why put you in this, brother? The gut is a
6:23
fairy running with muddy wall.
6:25
Speaker 3: No one asked you to walk in the gunners Watson here,
6:28
Gibbi and giants, so it is, Come along, Watson, gracious
6:34
me this rain, I say, kebby, where's Hangman's Lane? From here?
6:39
Speaker 2: Lush? You no be going there?
6:41
Speaker 5: Why not?
6:42
Speaker 3: It's where we hope to spend the night.
6:44
Speaker 2: Tis a little chancey spot.
6:45
Speaker 4: Gentlemen, you'll never find me going up Hangman's Lane after dark.
6:49
Speaker 3: As bad as that I'll stand here arguing with you.
6:53
Speaker 4: It's the first lane back of a kirk.
6:55
Speaker 5: If you must go, thanks here drink to our health.
6:59
Speaker 1: Oho there westan two fine upstanding gentlemen, healed and hearty,
7:07
with the black shadow of.
7:09
Speaker 5: Death looking over your sholder.
7:12
Speaker 7: Well then I say, I did a warn you come along?
7:16
Beatris hmm, cheerful individual, Holmes, what do you say, Let's
7:27
go back and spend the night with a good tote.
7:29
Speaker 4: You can't possibly find any lodging in a place like
7:32
Hangman's Lane.
7:33
Speaker 3: But we shall, Watson, we shall. They're expecting us come along.
7:38
Speaker 2: What do you mean they're expecting us?
7:40
Speaker 3: I mean the owner of most of the tenements in
7:42
Hangman's Lane has arranged that we should be taken care of.
7:45
He is most anxious to have us inspect his property.
7:49
Speaker 4: I don't see what that has to do with our
7:51
search for Professor Mariatta.
7:53
Speaker 3: Whenever anything curious and inexplicable happens in the professor's neighborhood,
7:57
the chances.
7:58
Speaker 5: Are he's mixed up in it.
8:00
Speaker 2: Ah.
8:01
Speaker 3: Yes, Hangmon's Lane, narrow, steep, little by way a Watson.
8:06
Speaker 2: I don't like it.
8:06
Speaker 3: Home.
8:07
Speaker 2: No lights in any of the windows. You see these.
8:10
Speaker 4: Tall houses overrun with inhabitants, several flaming families to floor ooklockly.
8:16
The delays in the street look positively deserted.
8:18
Speaker 3: They are deserted, Watson. That's the most interesting part of it.
8:23
One particular house hasn't been opened for several hundred years,
8:26
But during the last month the rest of the tenements
8:29
have been vacated too. Their inhabitants have fled from them
8:32
like rats from a sinking ship. The rents have been
8:35
lowered to the vanishing point, and still there are no takers.
8:38
The people hereabouts seem to think the whole street is haunted.
8:42
Speaker 4: Could we come up here and look the place over
8:44
In the daytime? Homes look already the lights beginning to fade.
8:48
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, Watson, the phenomena we're going to investigate occur only
8:52
at night. Ah. Yes, the house are to say. There
8:57
should be a bell somewhere.
8:59
Speaker 5: Yes, perhaps there is never one to let us in.
9:02
Speaker 3: I think there will be, Watson, Yes, sign here, footsteps,
9:07
we'll be here, mister Holmes and doctor Watson.
9:10
Speaker 8: Lord be thank you one moment.
9:18
Speaker 5: The please taint go ahead, Watson, good Lord.
9:24
Speaker 2: It's dark in here, and.
9:25
Speaker 8: If you'll kindly step this way, there's a Probablas abandon
9:29
and kindles are lit in the back parlor. Candy, gentlemen,
9:35
this corridor is nurs as smooth as one said wor
9:39
so I discovered. Yes, they see the place. Please enter.
9:45
Speaker 4: Oh well, this is more like you day, Holmes, magnificent
9:48
old rooms.
9:49
Speaker 8: Just look at that fireplace, I for one alife bid
9:54
this old horse full of lords and their ladies, they say,
10:00
But here, gentlemen, will you be stunning in front of
10:02
the fire and dry on your breath.
10:04
Speaker 3: It's not a bad idea. We're pretty wet, and he
10:06
want's wet.
10:08
Speaker 8: There's a branny and a shelley. Y're a watna way
10:12
drop it that taste, a cocolet pie and a pot han. Hey,
10:17
he'll forgive me, I'm and shut my cello ware.
10:20
Speaker 3: I'm going so soon, but we've just arrived.
10:23
Speaker 8: Oh, mister Holmes, a dear noust stay at her sundown.
10:27
I'm let to let you alone. But a dearns stay,
10:30
but in a fashier style. I'll return them on early.
10:34
Speaker 3: But what is there to be afraid of?
10:37
Speaker 5: The neighbors neighbors.
10:39
Speaker 8: Ye, the neighbors and the old hurly host others side
10:42
of this wall.
10:43
Speaker 3: But no one has lived in that house next door
10:45
for you, not humans.
10:47
Speaker 8: No, no living man has crossed the door stain this hunderyear.
10:51
But there'll be others. Bogles. You can hear the rattle
10:56
leather gone, and come on every night through the wall.
10:59
Speaker 3: Have you ever heard these ghosts or bogels? Is a column?
11:03
Speaker 8: No, I certainly have not. I will not stay at
11:07
the shot bon.
11:10
Speaker 3: There's not the.
11:11
Speaker 8: Worst of it really, the times you can hear the soon,
11:15
the dublin.
11:16
Speaker 5: Sound of bagpipes.
11:17
Speaker 8: Okay, next when maybe entertain an old horny.
11:21
Speaker 3: Yourself, the devil himself. The ghosts next door move in
11:26
very high society. Hey, Watson, was just the wind in
11:31
the chimney you.
11:31
Speaker 8: Would have with the devils.
11:33
Speaker 3: No, I don't think I'll not be waiting to find it.
11:36
Speaker 8: When the scarling begins to say the who said senators
11:38
that could were singing?
11:39
Speaker 6: Adult she was fighting?
11:48
Speaker 3: I would let chimney would stop moaning those two legends.
11:53
The house next door, the haunted bagpipes, the famous Edinburgh superstitions.
11:58
I'd like to hear more about.
12:00
Speaker 2: Well, I've heard more than I want to already found
12:03
that chimney.
12:04
Speaker 3: That building next door is one of the so called
12:07
fatal houses. Fatal houses houses marked generations ago by the
12:12
Great plague. Discipline in the time of pestilence was sharp
12:15
and sudden. The houses having the disease were marked by
12:18
large cross. No one dared end or leave, furniture was
12:22
destroyed and houses sealed up. In those houses of which
12:25
one or two still remain, the plague is supposed to
12:28
lie ambushed like a basilisk, ready to escape and spread
12:31
sickness and death through the city once the doors are open.
12:33
Speaker 4: Or was that ridiculous homes ridiculous? Germs can't sustain themselves
12:37
like that. Oh, at least we have no medical evidence.
12:40
If they can, she'd gone to hotel.
12:43
Speaker 3: The other legend is not quite so gruesome.
12:45
Speaker 2: I'm a law to hear.
12:46
Speaker 3: It's about a secret passage that is supposed to have
12:49
existed in the time of Mary, Queen of It's Courts,
12:51
between Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace, which lies at the
12:54
other end of town. About century and a half ago,
12:58
a piper made a bet that he could walk the length.
13:00
He started at the castle, piping merrily. The crowds were
13:04
able to follow him through the streets above. By the
13:06
sound of the scurling everything was going smoothly. They followed
13:09
the sound down from the castle along the top of
13:12
the hill. Just about here the piping stopped suddenly in
13:15
the middle of a note, and that was the last
13:17
that was ever heard.
13:18
Speaker 5: Of the piper, noxious gas was poplar.
13:21
Speaker 3: Some say the devil was so captivated by his playing
13:24
that he carried him off to hell.
13:26
Speaker 4: One of it as long as he stays there and
13:28
doesn't go about waking.
13:29
Speaker 2: Up the neighbors.
13:30
Speaker 5: But that's just what he has been doing for the
13:32
last month or so.
13:33
Speaker 4: Oh nonsense, it's just annoysy chimney like this one.
13:37
Speaker 2: Why is a.
13:37
Speaker 4: Ghost who's kept quiet for over one hundred years suddenly
13:40
decided to return.
13:41
Speaker 2: And annoy people?
13:42
Speaker 3: That, my dear Watson, is what I'm anxious to find out?
13:47
Speaker 2: Homes homes? Do you hear that?
13:52
Speaker 5: By Jove?
13:53
Speaker 3: Then it's more than just a superstations homes.
13:55
Speaker 4: It's a piper, the devil's bagpiper.
13:59
Speaker 2: He's playing in the house next door.
14:00
Speaker 3: Splendor.
14:01
Speaker 2: For what we'll do?
14:02
Speaker 3: Want we to inform the authorities and have them put
14:05
the devil in jail? No, Watson and I have a
14:07
better fan. I suggest we go over and call on
14:10
the old gentleman himself.
14:24
Speaker 1: In just a moment, we'll find out what Sherlock Holmes
14:27
discovers in the mysterious house next door. Man, if you're wise,
14:32
you'll start right away and take better care of the
14:34
hair you've got. Remember, handsome, healthy looking hair needs a
14:38
hygienic scalp, So why be content with just any hairdressing
14:42
when you can enjoy the extra advantages of Cremmel hair tonic.
14:46
This highly specialized hair tonic goes in for modern, natural
14:50
looking hair grooming. It keeps hair perfectly groomed all day long,
14:55
looking so neat and attractive, yet never gives hair that cheap, greasy,
14:59
pattern letther look. But Kremmel does lots more than keep
15:03
hair looking handsome. Kremmel is simply great to lubricate a
15:06
dry scalp, and at the same time it removes dandra
15:09
flakes and leaves the scalp feeling so alive and tingling.
15:13
And if your hair breaks off and falls when you
15:15
comb it because it's so dry, use Cremmel, which actually
15:19
helps condition hair in that it leaves it feeling so
15:22
much softer and more pliable. And since Kremmel is never
15:25
sticky or gummy in because it's such a nice, clean product,
15:29
you can use it every day and your hair will
15:30
always look it's very bare. Buy a bottle of Kremmel
15:34
at any drug counter as for an application at your barbershop.
15:37
Speaker 3: K R. E. M. L.
15:40
Speaker 1: Kremmel hair turning. Now, doctor Watson, what about the ghostly Bagpiper?
15:51
Speaker 4: Did homes, fossles, tobo homes and sissifically investigate the house
15:56
next door at once?
15:58
Speaker 2: And I must admit that it was with some givings
16:01
I followed him into the street.
16:04
Speaker 3: Come along, Watson. Oh, another little bit of local superstition.
16:08
I forgot to mention. They say that the corpses of
16:11
people who died here of the plague will sometimes come
16:14
to life and wonder about the house. Arms.
16:16
Speaker 4: We shouldn't talk like this, this sleep cutting into my
16:19
face like a knife.
16:20
Speaker 3: Here's the doorway. How to find out if the key
16:22
still works?
16:24
Speaker 2: Yes, this looks more like a crowbar than a key.
16:27
Speaker 3: I only hope the lock isn't too rusty.
16:29
Speaker 5: Hmm, well, budge, thank Heaven, let's go back.
16:32
Speaker 3: Oh give me that? Why can have a few drops
16:34
of oil? Are you?
16:36
Speaker 5: I confound this lock?
16:38
Speaker 3: No good trying to break the door in. It's as
16:40
solid as you brought her good.
16:41
Speaker 2: You are more solid than the house itself.
16:43
Speaker 4: Judging by that long crack over the archway.
16:47
Speaker 3: Hmm, yes, that is a crack. The building is settling, Watson,
16:52
that crack. Hello, I turned the key locks, decided to
16:56
work the door sticks now hinges rusty. Come on, Watson,
17:00
get your back into it.
17:03
Speaker 2: He's moving homes.
17:04
Speaker 3: Yes, so is that cracks. Hurry, help me close the
17:06
door before the archway falls on us.
17:12
Speaker 2: And it quiet. I didn't hear the wind smells like
17:17
a too.
17:17
Speaker 3: Yes, but there's something else, something unhealthy, like a disease.
17:22
I smelled once in the tropics. You don't think it's
17:24
true that the plague is still nonsense? You yourself said
17:27
it wasn't possible. Better light that dark lantern were brought along.
17:30
Speaker 2: Indeed, I hate pumping about the dark. I can't say
17:37
it's much more cheerful little light.
17:39
Speaker 4: It was those great dirty cobwebs, that old tapestry hanging
17:43
in shreds.
17:44
Speaker 3: Yes, nothing has been moved since the plague first touched
17:46
the house. I look down that room, that old old
17:49
table set for a meal, one of the goblets overturned.
17:52
Speaker 2: Loose, move the crapes up and down my spine.
17:54
Speaker 5: Nothing else of interest here. Let's get onto the next room.
17:59
Speaker 2: How hollow? Oh h a footstope sound?
18:02
Speaker 3: Yes, this must have been the living one of the house.
18:05
Ashes of a bygone fire still on the hearth homes.
18:09
Speaker 4: Homes. Look, there's some people seated in those chairs over there. Nonsense,
18:16
give me the lantern. Why jove, I think you're right.
18:19
Let's smells strongly in here. We'll soon find out. Watson
18:23
called the lantern Homes.
18:27
Speaker 2: It's a body, a naked body.
18:29
Speaker 5: A corpse, Watson, a cadaver of homes.
18:32
Speaker 3: Don't touch it, for the love of Heaven, don't touch it.
18:34
Why Watson.
18:34
Speaker 4: Don't you see the swallen eyes, the froth of the mouth,
18:38
the fresh turned black. I've never seen it before, but
18:40
those are the symptoms homes. That's the black plague. But
18:44
that's not possible. That's crazy.
18:46
Speaker 2: Here.
18:47
Speaker 3: Let me look at the other chairs. Yes, you're an
18:50
old man and you're a woman.
18:52
Speaker 2: All victims of the Black death Homes. These are the
18:56
bodies of people who died in this house centuries ago
18:58
the plague. But they're not decayed. Not possible. We must
19:03
be going mad.
19:04
Speaker 3: Tell me quick, Watson. Did women do their hair with
19:06
fringes at the time of the last play?
19:08
Speaker 2: Cringes? Now I know that we're crazy, White Watson.
19:11
Speaker 3: Did you hear that it's the devil coming with his piper.
19:15
He's going to make him dark. The old woman was right.
19:17
The house does quite break up the sound of those pipes.
19:19
He's coming home.
19:20
Speaker 6: He's coming.
19:26
Speaker 3: Good evening, gentlemen, Dear me, if it isn't our friend,
19:31
Professor Moriarty, I had no idea you were a musician.
19:35
You admire my piping. Eh, Yes, I wondered how long
19:38
it would take you to find me. Allow me to
19:40
congratulate you, mister Holmes.
19:42
Speaker 5: You're very prompt, most.
19:44
Speaker 3: Flattering, professor, But I assure you it was simplicity itself.
19:48
You didn't think I'd overlook anything as obvious as a
19:50
sealed house and the haunted bagpiper who so conveniently came
19:54
back to life in the past month. Yes, I might
19:56
have known my little roost to get rid of my
19:58
superstitious neighbors wouldn't keep shellock homes away. Perhaps it's just
20:04
as well you've been getting in my way quite a
20:07
bit lately, mister Holmes. I shall have to continue my
20:11
experiments begun on these three poor devils, on yourself and
20:16
doctor Watson.
20:17
Speaker 4: In the plague you're going to give us the black plague.
20:20
Speaker 3: I really must try my serum on two healthy specimens
20:24
before I pronounced it perfect. After all, these three an
20:27
old beggar, a thief, dang of starvation, and a woman
20:30
of ill repute.
20:32
Speaker 5: They could hardly be expected to resist the disease.
20:34
Speaker 3: That's very interesting. I was just assuring doctor Watson that
20:38
these corpses were quite recent, because I was sure that
20:41
women didn't wear fringes during the last specimens, and doctor
20:44
Watson was afraid they might be victims of the original plague.
20:49
But in a sense he's ride. The victims are recent,
20:54
but they were killed by the germs of the original
20:57
Black death, most abusing, isn't it fascinating?
21:02
Speaker 5: Tell me how did you discover those germs? They were
21:04
in this house.
21:05
Speaker 3: I found a nice little culture of them in a
21:07
glass of CAB's foot jelly, which was on the table
21:10
in the front room. How they ever survived as long
21:13
as this I can't imagine. But here, gentlemen, come into
21:16
my laboratory. I want to show you what I've done
21:19
with him.
21:21
Speaker 2: Oh what do you do? The black plague? It's a
21:24
terrible thing. The man's mad.
21:26
Speaker 5: Human wants a human wi chula.
21:29
Speaker 3: Here we are, gentlemen, quite a nice modern little uclay
21:33
for such an ancient house.
21:34
Speaker 5: Yes, it is an ancient house, professor.
21:37
Speaker 3: But here, this little test tube, it contains enough of
21:41
the black plague to wipe out the entire city of Edinburgh. Yes,
21:45
I rather thought that was your purpose. You've never forgotten
21:47
how they drove you out at the time of the
21:49
Burke and Hair scandal.
21:50
Speaker 5: You know about that?
21:51
Speaker 3: Quite? Your name wasn't Moriarty then, hut? But you were
21:53
doctor Knox's young assistant at the time. Together you were
21:56
carrying on some exciting experiments, yes, mister Holmes, experiences that
22:00
might have saved the world a great deal of suffering.
22:02
But you were short of cadavers. It wasn't you, by
22:05
any chance, who suggested to Burken here those two body snatches,
22:09
that a body did not have to be legally dead
22:10
to be acceptable. Oh what if I did?
22:13
Speaker 5: They only killed the refuse of the city beggars.
22:16
Speaker 3: Come quite, but they met the hangman.
22:17
Speaker 5: Nonetheless, I the fool's.
22:20
Speaker 3: What priced the death of a few when we might
22:22
have discovered a cure that would have saved all humanity?
22:26
Speaker 5: Humanity?
22:27
Speaker 2: Bah?
22:27
Speaker 5: I hated it ever since then.
22:30
Speaker 3: I'd sworn I'd get revenge on humanity and the law
22:33
A biding citizens of Edinburgh in particular, and now the
22:39
time has come. Tomorrow the contents of this test tube
22:43
will spread destruction throughout the city. But in the meantime, you,
22:49
mister Holmes, and you doctor Watson, you know too much.
22:55
You shall be the first of the law abiding citizens
22:58
to feel the prick of my little needle.
23:00
Speaker 5: Just a moment till I prepare my incident.
23:02
Speaker 2: Stop him home, Stop him.
23:03
Speaker 3: Not move, gentlemen, one drop out of this test tube,
23:08
even in its present state, is enough to cause dead
23:12
I quite agree, by the way, Professor Moriarty, while you
23:16
are preparing your solution, you have no objections if I
23:19
played tune on your bank pipes. I used to be
23:22
rather good at them in my younger days. Not at all,
23:24
if it at a museum, right.
23:26
Speaker 2: It's wotsome.
23:27
Speaker 5: Stand here beside me against this wall.
23:36
Speaker 2: Home, the house. It's vibrating.
23:39
Speaker 3: I can feel the war for that's the note that
23:43
dug it. Hold on there, you're shaking the house, the foundation.
23:49
I can hear them cracking. Look out, man, you'll bring
23:51
the house down. That's what we intend to do. The
23:55
walls I've got to get out of, Kim Katy.
23:57
Speaker 4: The front door's block the secret passage in the basement,
24:00
if I can, Richard Homes, he topped the test tube.
24:03
Speaker 3: It's spreading across the floor.
24:04
Speaker 4: Won't step back into the pipe, And so mister Bell
24:32
Holmes played that note on the bagpipes until the house
24:35
crashed in upon itself.
24:37
Speaker 1: But doctor Watson, once you killed not quite.
24:39
Speaker 2: Mister Bell.
24:39
Speaker 4: No, No, Holmes deduced from that crack above the front
24:43
door that the house was.
24:44
Speaker 3: Weak, and he also guessed which way did fall if
24:47
it did give.
24:47
Speaker 4: In the role that we were standing against in the
24:50
fireplace alone will have standing. If you've seen in a
24:53
ruined castles, mister Bell, you'll notice how frequently that seems
24:56
to happen.
24:57
Speaker 1: And Professor Moriarty did he escape unfortunate?
25:00
Speaker 4: He did, mister Bell, through the secret passage in the basement,
25:03
which he had mentioned.
25:04
Speaker 5: But the black plague in those quartses, what did you
25:07
do about that?
25:07
Speaker 2: We left them where they were no use in forming
25:10
their parties. They wouldn't have believed us, and besides.
25:12
Speaker 4: It would have been too dangerous to go poking about
25:14
in the ruins. No Home simply poured these spirits from
25:19
our lantern on the old rafters and started afire.
25:22
Speaker 2: The wood was as dry as tinder, and there was
25:25
quite a blaze and fire. Mister Bell is a great purifier.
