00:04:56i must go is that the dr watson the friend of sherlock holmes yes then you know homes no
00:05:04dr watson has known us since ronnie and i were kids but we've never met mr holmes
00:05:09he's always too busy i see i've got two aces of spades but we've used this pack before
00:05:19oh i know marston found one on the floor yes but how could he is it and it must have dropped out
00:05:26here
00:05:45you are cut these color cuts for me ronnie well oh don't go kathleen i'll come and say
00:05:53good night to you all before i go to bed i expect you'll all be out until three
00:05:57no don't get up i hope you all will
00:06:08my dear how kind of you to come a summons from you comes before even a summons from sherlock
00:06:14holmes it's three of you to say sir anyhow take off your coat and let me give you a drink no
00:06:19thanks i can't stay i came for a moment because you sent for me well let's sit down for a minute
00:06:40has ronnie got another bilious attack no it's nothing really i'm a bit worried
00:06:46kathleen dear won't you confide in me it's about ronnie this gambling you know six months ago we
00:06:54hadn't a shilling you mean when your trustee absconded and shot himself yes we were going
00:06:59to leave here ronnie was going to give up the diplomatic service and then he began to play
00:07:05bridge for high stakes but i always understood he was an exceedingly fine player he is but you can't
00:07:11always win what do you mean always sometimes it's 20 pounds sometimes 500 but he never loses
00:07:23it looks as if oh i can't say it it's impossible ronnie isn't capable of such a thing
00:07:31but i would like to be sure how can one make sure well i really don't know i'll ask holmes oh no
00:07:39he might arrest ronnie oh of course he wouldn't but he might frighten him into giving up cards
00:07:46i never thought of that yes do ask him to do something i'll come round and see him in the
00:07:53morning may i well i don't know yes i may you'll make him see me won't you he thinks an awful lot
00:08:00of you well i don't think i need waste time if it ends then i make seven spades three diamonds
00:08:07two hearts and the ace of clubs that's right another big rubber well that just about cleans me
00:08:12up will i make the difference sixteen hundred points you add up very quickly quite a mathematician
00:08:21how much is that 160 pounds well i've lost both rubbers and so i owe you 255 pounds
00:08:30we'd settle up at the end
00:08:34this is the end
00:08:40my uh my wife is not very well and i promised to go home early well if you must you must
00:08:47i'm sorry to spoil your evening but perhaps you can get miss adair to make up a fall
00:08:52kathleen plays a game that resembles hockey more than bridge still if you are determined
00:08:56i'll see you monday i'm afraid i shall be able i have to go out of town on important business
00:09:02and i don't know when i should be back no use trying to fix another evening i'm afraid not
00:09:09let me know when you're there good night and thanks very much i didn't know sir timothy played
00:09:16bridge for timothy yes timothy probisher he's the fourth you know one can't work long with
00:09:23sherlock holmes without picking up some of his tricks of observation and deduction what makes
00:09:28you think he's here his initials tf timothy probisher elementary my dear kathleen elementary
00:09:36and then for further indications the owner of this hat is immensely tall you see he's bruised
00:09:43the top edge here probably going through a door excuse me may i have my hat yours certainly
00:09:50my initials are inside t earth thomas fisher oh i beg your pardon you're not going yes
00:09:58my wife is not very well and i promise to get home early oh i am sorry i think i'll go too
00:10:08well good night and thanks sorry i had this rotten luck see you monday well really i i
00:10:16think i'd better not i've lost an awful lot lately and i think i'd better chuck it for a bit
00:10:21just as you like but don't think me rude but but i just can't afford it that's all right
00:10:28good night colonel good night
00:10:37well have you to have a sick wife and a business appointment no whiskey and soda i'm sorry
00:10:45here it is i don't see why fisher being a millionaire naturally loses his temper when he
00:10:52loses sixpence and tony rutherford is broke and you think that's all what else no nothing
00:10:59good you can always get another four then you'll continue to come with pleasure i'm not afraid of
00:11:09losing sixpence and i'm lucky i often cut with you
00:11:21what's the matter with you all stop it if you're early well fisher had to go
00:11:25and for once in my life i'm going to have an early night
00:11:29and i'll see you out good night ronnie when i go
00:12:59so
00:13:07ronnie you've got to tell me the truth the truth what do you mean i've got to find out the truth
00:13:16clearly
00:13:26you know exactly what i mean when my son picked it up you said it belongs to that
00:13:33it doesn't and you know it must belong to a hidden gift of the past
00:13:41what the devil do you mean
00:13:45how dare you suggest that god knows i don't want to suggest it but we were wrong
00:13:50then you started playing bridge for heights we've always been the best of pairs but if you're going
00:13:56to say things like that don't you see everything points to it oh i don't believe it i i won't
00:14:01believe it if i did i'd rather put a bullet through your head than own a brother yes sir
00:14:08excuse me sir a note from the foreign office
00:14:14thanks good morning
00:14:17is he there no sir he said there'll be no answer thanks
00:14:23shall we want anything else sir not tonight martin after one breakfast a bit earlier the
00:14:29foreign aircraft may help us nine very good sir good night please good night martin good night sir
00:14:35good night anything serious well if you must know they want me to go and see some german
00:14:45fella in hampstead who'll tell me some official secret which was probably published in last
00:14:50night's paper don't go ronnie i've got to have this out with you i can't believe
00:14:55ronnie
00:15:25so
00:15:55what can i do with mr owens's breakfast isn't he up yet ain't no sign of him hasn't even
00:16:14took in his shaving water i do wish he'd be a bit more regular in his habit meals at all times of
00:16:19the day that's going to help upside down would you know mrs hudson you always insist on keeping
00:16:25his meals for him he never asked yes but the poor man must think sometimes if i didn't see that he
00:16:31had a bite down again it had been in his grave years ago i should go and bang on his door yes
00:16:38but sometimes when he's thinking out his problem he's that cross when he's disturbed
00:16:43he won't be this morning he's rather good
00:16:50and he doesn't want any breakfast
00:16:58no mr owens did you give me a turn hey well one good turn deserves another
00:17:05what can i do for you after breakfast sir oh i've i've already breakfasted with the manager
00:17:10of the london and commercial bank oh so they've sent for you for this are you sure i can't take
00:17:15this to a nice bit of addict my dear mrs hudson you've always been a temptation to me but addict
00:17:25after a good breakfast is not no you do carry on it's a good job i don't take you serious i'm
00:17:31perfectly serious jokes are not my strong point ask the doctor i never see any of his
00:17:38no i've been wondering my dear watson why you don't get the batteries of your car recharged
00:17:44what do you mean you had great difficulty in getting your car to start last night the batteries
00:17:48are run down they are but how did you know you've a blister at the base of your fingers on the right
00:17:56hand as you've not been sculling on the serpentine this morning i deduced that you've been cranking
00:18:01it's rather wonderful that's uh that's elementary my dear watches elementary
00:18:11on the cloth on the top
00:18:13thank you you're sure there's nothing else i can do for you nothing thank you
00:18:18oh wait a minute let me give you a hand
00:18:21why have they sent for you about this it's perfectly simple a man tries to
00:18:27burgle a bank is disturbed kills the watchman and runs away
00:18:34i find it very interesting
00:18:41have you ever heard of professor robert moriarty no
00:18:46have you ever heard of professor robert moriarty no what's he got to do with it oh he's to do with
00:18:51half the crimes of world over he started as a mathematical professor but ugly rumors gathered
00:19:00round him and he resigned so after that he vanished for 10 years or so i fancy he went abroad
00:19:08he went abroad then he returned to england and things began to happen what things
00:19:18for a long time i've been conscious of some power a deep organization which stands in the way of the
00:19:26law once he made a slip and i was able to deduce that behind that power was moriarty
00:19:36but he recovered himself and i could prove nothing
00:19:41he has hundreds of agents none of whom have ever seen him sometimes an agent is caught
00:19:48but the man who plans most of the crimes that are committed is never caught never even suspected
00:19:55he knows that i know of his activity he also knows that up to now i've been unable to reach him
00:20:02and you think he's connected with this bank murder i think it's highly topical
00:20:13yes yes come in it's such a restraint anything fresh no mr holmes sit down let's trade thank
00:20:22you i just came in to get that piece of brown paper oh yes here's this little piece you mean
00:20:28i should like to keep it a little longer if i may i haven't yet decided what the rest of the label
00:20:34is well i don't see how you ever can it's just an ordinary shopkeeper's label there's not enough
00:20:42of it to tell us anything well i disagree my dear let's say it but then you and i so often disagree
00:20:50oh come mr holmes i have a great respect for your theory it's only when you begin about this
00:20:55professor moriarty yeah you don't believe in him and i ask you is it possible for a man to plan
00:21:02half the crime in this country without the yard knowing who he is where he lives or anything about
00:21:07he does seem rather strange i mean the man can't live nowhere and never be seen by anyone
00:21:12of course lots of people know him but they don't know that he's moriarty
00:21:18you yourself may know him jokes are not your strong point Holmes no i'm perfectly serious
00:21:23he has a hundred disguises and a hundred aliases and i'm pretty certain he had a hand in this bank
00:21:30robbery but it wasn't a robbery the thief got nothing he broke into the bank have you ever
00:21:36tried to break into a bank let's say me no i thought not but do you seriously think it's
00:21:45possible for one man to break into a bank without using anything short of dynamite there were no
00:21:51signs of a forced entry which might point to the fact of his having an accomplice
00:21:56or even two he got inside which doesn't necessarily mean your professor the man was
00:22:03interrupted by the watchman killed him got frightened and bolted and yet inside the safe
00:22:11we found this piece of brown paper three people swear it was not there when the safe was shut
00:22:17last night then he was inside when he was disturbed or before he went inside he had this
00:22:23paper wrapped around something you'll observe that this end here is slightly torn and there is a
00:22:30blood stain on it i therefore deduce that the struggle with the watchman took place first
00:22:36and he then took his parcel into the safe it won't work mr holmes it won't work there was
00:22:4370 000 pounds of milk in the vault not one of them is missing how true
00:22:51how true but if you remember a fortnight ago an almost similar thing occurred in berlin in berlin
00:22:58yes you should read your berlina tag about my dear let's say the strong room of the
00:23:05reichsbank was entered the watchman was laid out happily not killed and nothing was removed
00:23:11very strange mr holmes very strange indeed it looks almost as if there was a connection
00:23:18i should like time to think it out a bit uh when can i have that piece of brown paper i'll let you
00:23:24have it this evening in the meantime would you be good enough to warn all foreign customs officials
00:23:28to be on the lookout for a very large quantity of english bank notes which will be smuggled
00:23:32through in ordinary lugging what you think i think it would be a wise precaution very good
00:23:37mr holmes i'll get back to the yard now and put the matter in hand good morning gentlemen
00:23:50the chief has arrived sir oh what are his orders
00:23:53he will interview mr adair himself right send mr adair in
00:24:07what the devil is the meaning of this
00:24:23so
00:24:54so
00:25:17god am i drunk i hope not at 10 o'clock in the morning
00:25:24what's all this about i was seen in a car blindfolded and driven half on love i apologize
00:25:30for that it was just a slight precaution and you must forgive me concealing my identity
00:25:36behind the sleeping cardinal please sit down
00:25:53are you mr mr clink auto clink no poor auto clank must have been dead a good many years
00:26:02what the devil is the meaning of this only that i have a slight favor to ask of you mr adair
00:26:08favor who are you anyway i understand that you are leaving on the golden arrow at 11 o'clock
00:26:14tomorrow for paris and if i am you are going on foreign office business and you will have a lacy
00:26:20passage which means that your luggage will not be examined by the customs
00:26:26i want you to take a suitcase to paris for me i'll do nothing of the kind
00:26:31why should i because you can't help yourself don't be ridiculous sit down madame sit down
00:26:41you have been cheating a car what i repeat you have been cheating a car
00:26:47oh i should have warned you that this picture is painted on steel sit down
00:27:01all your life you have been interested in sleight of hand your trick of forming a whole pack of
00:27:07cards has been very useful to you since your trustee absconded and left you and your sister
00:27:13it's a lie you have taken the plane bridge for very high stakes when you deal you simply change
00:27:20the pack after it has been cut to you you have a carefully prepared pack in the palm of your hand
00:27:27you do the same when you cut a pack to your opponent now this procedure is publicly known
00:27:36is not likely to lead to an advancement either social or diplomatic
00:27:41in fact it means the end of you who's been telling you this ridiculous story
00:27:47last night you made a slip you dropped the ace of spades
00:27:55now i think i can count on your doing me this very slight service
00:28:00go on a suitcase bearing your initials will be delivered at your flat at 9 30 this evening
00:28:06you will pass it through the customs with your other luggage i understand you have engaged a
00:28:11room at the bristol in paris you will take your luggage there and by 10 o'clock tomorrow night
00:28:18the suitcase will have vanished from your room you will make no comment what's in this precious
00:28:26what's in this precious suitcase that does not concern you yes but it might be anything
00:28:31stolen jewels bombs heaven knows what no i'll be damned if i'll be made use of in this way
00:28:37i feel sure that you will change your mind in the event of your not doing so
00:28:46you will find the only alternative in the box on the table what do you mean
00:28:56yes come back whoever you are what do you mean
00:29:11the only alternative
00:29:15oh my god
00:29:26so
00:29:32what are you trying to do i'm trying to see how many bank of england notes will go into a parcel
00:29:36of this size you see my dear watson that this uh note should fit into these creases
00:29:45and you are as i thought exactly yes are you busy this morning watson no i kept the morning free
00:29:52i rather hoped you'd see kathleen adair she's due here now i sent her a note on the way home
00:29:57from the bank oh that's very kind of you but then you will have a talk to ronnie no i want to talk
00:30:02about it he's in the diplomatic service isn't he yes and what's that got to do with it what's what's
00:30:09got to do with what what come in mr dare to see you sir
00:30:16oh how wonderful of you to have managed this terribly kind of you to see me not at all
00:30:23won't you sit down
00:30:31watson's told me how worried you are about your brother but i don't quite see what i can do
00:30:36i've been wondering if you could find out if it's really true if it is and i can't believe that it
00:30:43is perhaps you could frighten him into giving up the home does he play as a rule well last night
00:30:50there was tony rutherford old mr fisher the millionaire yes and colonel henslow an old
00:30:56friend of ours fisher i wonder
00:31:06forgive me mrs there but does your brother travel at all on official business quite a lot
00:31:13in fact he's off to paris tomorrow i thought so how long has he known that he would be going
00:31:18tomorrow three or four days i think where is your brother at the moment i don't know
00:31:25at the foreign office by now i should think he went out early this morning they sent a car for him
00:31:29oh you happen to know where he had to go i think he said hampton i know it wasn't far
00:31:37he should be back at the office by now yes they think a great deal of your brother at
00:31:42the foreign office they used to but lately he's been paying so much bridge
00:31:49i'm afraid he's been negating his work yes that's a pity yes i wonder if you'd be good
00:31:54enough to ask your brother to come and see me this afternoon of course i'll go around to the
00:32:00foreign office now i might just get him why not telephone he hates being run up there and i
00:32:05couldn't explain on the telephone what shall i do if i miss him well when would you be seeing him
00:32:10tonight he's dining out and he's bound to come into dress very well in that case would you be
00:32:15good enough to ask him to come and see me in the morning before he starts that's awfully kind of
00:32:19you don't mention bridge to it as a matter of fact i shall not say a word on that subject myself
00:32:26but you may rest assured that after he has seen me he will never gamble again
00:32:33i can't tell you how grateful i am not at all but i am grateful to you
00:32:45goodbye
00:32:49watson yes
00:32:51yes

00:35:47writers
00:36:47Come in, Professor.
00:36:54Do you think you know me, Mr. Holmes?
00:37:03Why not?
00:37:04You called upon me once before.
00:37:08On that occasion, your face was completely covered with surgical bandages, but your arrival
00:37:13coincided with the same removal of Watson and Mrs. Hudson.
00:37:19You were a little more original in your method last time.
00:37:22Today, I recognize the symptoms.
00:37:26I was expecting you, Moriarty.
00:37:29How clever are you, Holmes?
00:37:33Won't you take off your scarf, Professor?
00:37:39Yes, perhaps you're right.
00:37:44This room is rather drafty.
00:37:45Shall we sit down?
00:37:46I'm afraid my method of getting rid of Watson and Mrs. Hudson was a trifle crude, but I
00:37:57had a sudden impulse, and anyhow it served its purpose.
00:38:00Except that our interview will be a brief one.
00:38:03Watson will have read my note in the taxi, telling him to ignore the call and come back
00:38:07here in five minutes.
00:38:09In that case, I will be brief.
00:38:15On the 4th of May, 1928, you crossed my path, a dangerous thing to do, Holmes.
00:38:26Eight months later, to be exact, the 20th of January, 1929, you incommoded me seriously.
00:38:36You made a bad slip in 1929, didn't you?
00:38:39Nearly had you, Professor.
00:38:41And now I find you so constantly in my way that it would be better for me if you were
00:38:48removed.
00:38:49Perhaps what I have to say has already crossed your mind.
00:38:55Possibly my answer may have crossed yours.
00:38:57You stand fast?
00:38:59Absolutely.
00:39:00A great pity, Holmes.
00:39:03I have a great respect for your mentality, a great pity.
00:39:11You are getting in the way of a great organization, the full extent of which even you, with all
00:39:18your cleverness, cannot realize.
00:39:22You wish to put me in the dock.
00:39:25You never will.
00:39:29If you destroy me, rest assured I shall do as much for you.
00:39:36That's very interesting, Professor, but your five minutes are up.
00:39:40I fancy I hear the arrival of Watson.
00:39:45May I offer you a piece of advice?
00:39:48Never give way to sudden impulses.
00:39:50They're even more dangerous to you than I am.
00:39:56I read your note, Holmes.
00:39:57Oh, I beg your pardon.
00:39:58Did you come to see me?
00:39:59Your friend is in great danger.
00:40:00Great danger.
00:40:01What's the matter with him?
00:40:02It is the draft, Watson.
00:40:03He's feeling the draft very badly at this moment.
00:40:04But who was it?
00:40:05Well, it was a man.
00:40:06A man?
00:40:07Yes, a man.
00:40:08A man.
00:40:09A man.
00:40:10A man.
00:40:11A man.
00:40:12A man.
00:40:13A man.
00:40:14A man.
00:40:15A man.
00:40:16A man.
00:40:17A man.
00:40:18A man.
00:40:19A man.
00:40:20A man.
00:40:21A man.
00:40:22A man.
00:40:23A man.
00:40:24A man.
00:40:25A man.
00:40:26A man.
00:40:27Well, that was Mrs. Smith of 1006 Trentonville.
00:40:32Mrs.?
00:40:33Or shall we say, Professor.
00:40:36Oh, the mythical Moriarty.
00:40:39What does he look like?
00:40:41Well, I know no more than you do.
00:40:43Except that the first molar in the left side of the upper jaw is very badly filled with gold.
00:40:49Have you a mathematical mind, Watson?
00:40:54I think so, fairly.
00:40:56Ah.
00:40:57Well, never give way to sudden impulses.
00:40:59They're not good for mathematicians.
00:41:02Moriarty has made the worst flip he's made since January 1929.
00:41:09You mean you think you've found out how to get him?
00:41:12No.
00:41:13No, I found out where he gets his boots.
00:41:15I wish you'd be serious.
00:41:16The professor's boots are made by Mr. J.J. Godfrey, bootmaker.
00:41:22Yes, here we are.
00:41:25502 Ponce Street, Southwest One.
00:41:29Godfrey, Ponce Street?
00:41:31Yes.
00:41:32Well, that's where I have mine made.
00:41:35You do surprise me.
00:41:37But Godfrey's a perfectly respectable tradesman with a high-class clientele.
00:41:41Well, obviously.
00:41:42Obviously.
00:41:43You and Moriarty, you share a bootmaker with the professor.
00:41:47After all, I know he may be a great friend of yours.
00:41:50Very well.
00:42:02Does Mr. Godfrey make his boots on the premises?
00:42:08Yes, in the basement.
00:42:10He showed me over his workshop once.
00:42:12Yes.
00:42:14I think I'd like to see over that workshop.
00:42:18We'll arrange with Lestrade to call there about 8 o'clock tonight.
00:42:23But how can it possibly matter where Moriarty buys his boots?
00:42:28Only that this piece of brown paper,
00:42:32which was found in the storeroom of the bank,
00:42:35bears a piece of the label of Mr. J.J. Godfrey, bootmaker.
00:42:41Holmes, you're marvellous.
00:42:44Oh, in a minute.
00:42:46Right there, Doctor.
00:42:47In a minute.
00:43:10Well, that's that.
00:43:11Now what am I to do with it?
00:43:13You will be at Down Street tube station at 9 o'clock precisely.
00:43:16You'll take the suitcase with you.
00:43:18Oh, it's all right.
00:43:19There's heaps of time.
00:43:20It isn't 8 o'clock yet.
00:43:22In the main entrance, you'll see a man with a scar on his left temple.
00:43:26He will take the suitcase from you.
00:43:28Yes, sir.
00:43:29The keys.
00:43:33Hello.
00:43:34Hello, sir.
00:43:35Looks a good bit of work.
00:43:37Yes, sir.
00:43:38I'm a good workman.
00:43:40Moriarty.
00:43:42Oh, the chief's here.
00:43:44I have just been informed that Inspector Lestrade has left Scotland Yard
00:43:49in a powerful car with police constables number 47, 54, and 83,
00:43:56all of the C Division.
00:43:58They will doubtless call for Sherlock Holmes and that great detective,
00:44:03Dr. Watson.
00:44:05Don't attempt to hide the suitcase.
00:44:08It would look suspicious and see that everything is tidy.
00:44:13If the police detain you, I have arranged for someone else
00:44:18to take the suitcase.
00:44:20Don't talk, and then come in here, Moran.
00:44:23You heard?
00:44:24Yes, sir.
00:44:38Put this right, Godfrey, will you?
00:45:00All right, sir.
00:45:08All right.
00:45:39Which of you is Mr. Godfrey?
00:45:41I am.
00:45:44Here's my search warrant.
00:45:47Search warrant?
00:45:48Well, what are you searching for?
00:45:50You'll know when I've found it.
00:45:53Why?
00:45:54If it isn't Dr. Watson.
00:45:56Hope the last pair of shoes I made were satisfactory?
00:46:00Yes, sir.
00:46:02I say, Holmes, this does seem rather absurd.
00:46:05You know, Godfrey's made my shoes for years.
00:46:08Yes, your shoe last is in that cupboard over there now.
00:46:12Over there?
00:46:13Yes.
00:46:14I'll go and find it.
00:46:20I suppose, Godfrey, you know what we've come for.
00:46:23Yes, sir.
00:46:25I suppose, Godfrey, you know what we've come for.
00:46:28I haven't the slightest idea.
00:46:40Hello.
00:46:42Starting out a new branch, eh?
00:46:45Oh, that.
00:46:46Yes, that's an experiment.
00:46:49Special order for a new customer.
00:46:52Special order for a new customer.
00:46:54Thought I might as well try my hand at it.
00:46:56Glad to see you look after your work people, Godfrey.
00:46:59Oh.
00:47:00Well, I've only got three of them.
00:47:04There's Roberts and Williams and there's a brother here.
00:47:07Yes.
00:47:08Well, you look after them.
00:47:10The place is properly ventilated.
00:47:14Ventilated?
00:47:20Oh, that.
00:47:22Yes, sir.
00:47:24Yes.
00:47:32Oh, yes.
00:47:33Ventilator.
00:47:45Where's that door lead?
00:47:48To the area.
00:47:49But, as you can see, it hasn't been open for years.
00:47:53Well, I should like you to open it.
00:47:55Heaven only knows where the key is.
00:47:57That door hasn't been open since I...
00:47:59I don't know when.
00:48:01Oh.
00:48:06Godfrey, this is a curious looking...
00:48:07What do you use it for?
00:48:09It's used for special work.
00:48:11Oh.
00:48:18So, you wanted to know what I was looking for, Godfrey.
00:48:22Well, you know now.
00:48:24I was looking for a press that made perfect Bank of England notes.
00:48:29Take them all away.
00:48:36What are you doing?
00:48:38Quick.
00:48:39Follow this wire, let's go.
00:48:40What for?
00:48:42Come on, quickly, straight.
00:48:43Help me get this door down.
00:48:48One more.
00:49:06Watson.
00:49:07Dad.
00:49:09Watson.
00:49:10Dad.
00:49:22Oh, have another drink, my dear Watson.
00:49:24You'll feel better.
00:49:25Thanks, I'm all right.
00:49:28I haven't a scratch.
00:49:30There's a bit of a shock being seized in truss up like that.
00:49:33You saw nobody?
00:49:34Nothing.
00:49:35I was standing in the cupboard and the shelves swung round.
00:49:38I was seized from behind and blindfolded.
00:49:40Well, anyway, we've done a good night's work.
00:49:43My theory of the bank robbery is proving correct.
00:49:46What is your finding of Forger's outfit in a bootmaker's basement got to do with a bank robbery, which wasn't a robbery at all?
00:49:53Well, I'll try to explain.
00:49:58Within a fortnight, the strong rooms of two banks are entered by unauthorized persons and nothing is removed.
00:50:04But in each case, something is taken into the strong room.
00:50:09In the case of the rice bag, a cardboard box.
00:50:13In the case of the commercial, a piece of brown paper.
00:50:16Well, they wanted to take the notes away in them.
00:50:19The brown paper had been creased and folded round something.
00:50:24Well, Mr. Godfrey's printing press makes perfect Bank of England notes.
00:50:30Now, supposing they have an accomplice who gives them the numbers of the notes in stock.
00:50:35They make duplicates.
00:50:37Probably perfect duplicates, if my friend Moriarty has anything to do with it.
00:50:42They change these for the real ones.
00:50:46Now, the forgeries have to arrive at the bank uncreased and spotless.
00:50:52Hence the brown paper.
00:50:54The real ones can be taken away anyhow, strapped in the pockets, anything.
00:50:58And the paper discarded.
00:51:01The robbery will not be discovered until two notes of the same number arrive at the Bank of England.
00:51:07And the longer that event is postponed, the better.
00:51:11So what does my learned friend do?
00:51:14Well, hold them up.
00:51:16Oh, no, my dear Watson, no, no.
00:51:18No use having 70,000 pounds worth of notes if you don't use them.
00:51:22Start circulating.
00:51:23Or send them abroad.
00:51:25That sounds difficult.
00:51:27You see, customs officials might ask questions if they opened a trunk full of Bank of England notes.
00:51:33How true, Watson, how true.
00:51:35In any case, I don't feel I've been trussed up for nothing.
00:51:38It was worth it to find that printing press.
00:51:40The printing press, my dear Watson, was valuable to get your friend Mr. Godfrey a term of penal servitude.
00:51:46But the really important discovery was the suitcase.
00:51:50Suitcase?
00:51:51Yes.
00:51:52You probably didn't observe that on the lid were the initials R.A.
00:51:55I didn't, but what does that signify?
00:51:57Ronald Adair is leaving tomorrow morning for Paris on foreign office business.
00:52:03He will have a diplomatic passport and a laissez-passer, which means that his luggage will not be examined.
00:52:09You can't connect him with...
00:52:13Good heavens, you don't think he's one of the gang?
00:52:16Supposing Moriarty were to threaten to expose his bridge exploit?
00:52:20How should Moriarty know?
00:52:22Well, how do I know things?
00:52:25What time is it, Watson?
00:52:27It's a quarter to eleven.
00:52:29Oh.
00:52:30Well, I wonder if we could get hold of Adair now.
00:52:32Oh, I forgot to tell you.
00:52:33Hmm?
00:52:34Miss Adair sent a message to say that she'd missed her brother at the foreign office and that she'd sent him round in the morning.
00:52:39Ah, well, will you ring up now, Watson?
00:52:41Will you and see if we can get hold of him right away?
00:52:43Yes, certainly.
00:52:44That young man is the one weak spot in Moriarty's armour.
00:52:47If I can get hold of him, Moriarty's wrong.
00:52:51He will stand in the dock tomorrow and not long after on the gallows.
00:53:14Who's there?
00:53:21Who's there?
00:53:35Who's there?
00:53:36Who's there?
00:53:38Hello. Yes, yes. You can't, sir. You can't. He's killed. Yes, I've just found him shot
00:53:54through the head. Is it usual for you to go to bed as early as 10 o'clock? Yes, sir.
00:54:04When there's no company. And you heard nothing at all? No, sir. You see, our bedrooms are
00:54:10all at the back of the building, completely cut off from the rest of the flat. I see.
00:54:15Yes, sir. Thank you. Would you send a butler to me? Yes, sir. You can go too. But surely
00:54:25Lestrade, considering what I've told you about the bridge party, it was obviously a case
00:54:30of suicide. Then where is the revolver? He must have thrown it out of the window. The
00:54:35bullet didn't penetrate the brain. He may have been conscious for a few seconds after
00:54:39the shot. And his fireplace shows that he'd been burning his correspondence. A good deal
00:54:45of correspondence. Then what about the letter he was writing? I can't make that up. The
00:54:53Sleeping Cardinal forced me to... I can't think what it means. Oh, Mr. Holmes, would
00:55:03you care to examine the servants? The cook and the housemaid neither saw nor heard anything.
00:55:12No, no, no, Lestrade. No, no, no. You carry on. No, I'll just amuse myself. And we found
00:55:18this on the table in front of him. The Sleeping Cardinal. The Sleeping Cardinal. Now, where
00:55:27have I heard that name before? You're the butler here? Yes, sir. Have you been with
00:55:42the family long? Three years, sir. Then you know their ways. Did anything unusual occur
00:55:46here this evening? No, sir. Miss Adair dined alone at home, and Mr. Adair came in at the
00:55:53quarter past nine with Colonel Henslow. Who is Colonel Henslow? Oh, he's an old friend
00:55:58of the family. He knew Ronnie Adair's father in India. Sir Henry Adair was Governor General
00:56:03of Bengal, you know. They used to hunt tigers together. Did you gather at all what they
00:56:07were talking about when they came in? Well, sir, Mr. Adair was saying, and you think Fisher
00:56:13means trouble. That was all I heard, sir. How long was the Colonel here? Barely half
00:56:19an hour, sir. Was Miss Adair with them? No, sir. She was in her room. Was anyone else
00:56:25in the pack? No, sir. You're positive that there was no one else at all? No, sir. Oh,
00:56:33a man came about half past nine with a new suitcase that Mr. Adair had ordered. What
00:56:39kind of a man? I didn't notice him particularly, sir. He wasn't actually inside the flat. He
00:56:45just handed me the case, and I signed for it. Where did the case come from? I really
00:56:50didn't notice, sir. I just told Mr. Adair it was here, and he told me to put it with
00:56:56the other luggage in his bedroom. Oh. Which one? That's the odd thing, sir. It isn't
00:57:06here, and I can't find it anywhere, so I searched the flat. It was quite an ordinary
00:57:13sort of case. I can't think where it could get hidden. But it must be somewhere, unless
00:57:19Mr. Adair took it out. He didn't go out, sir. He went straight to his room after the
00:57:24Colonel had left. Why didn't Mr. Adair come and see the Colonel? Wasn't she friendly
00:57:29with him? Oh, yes, sir. She was quite friendly with him. Wasn't she friendly with her brother?
00:57:35They were devoted to each other. They were, sir. But there was a bit of a shindy last
00:57:40night, sir. Well, she never mentioned anything about it to me. No, sir. It was after you
00:57:45and the other gentleman had left. I can't think it was a serious quarrel. I beg pardon,
00:57:50sir. It was. I brought in a note for Mr. Adair, and I don't think they heard me come in. What
00:57:56were they saying? Well, sir, Miss Adair was very excited, and she said, I'd rather put
00:58:02a bullet through your head than own a brother who... And then she saw me and stopped. Directly
00:58:09afterwards, Mr. Adair left the room. And tonight, how did you know he'd been killed? The phone
00:58:15bell was ringing in this room, which was locked, and I got no answer to my knocking. What did
00:58:20you do? I broke down the door, and then I found Mr. Adair in that chair, lying across
00:58:27the table, dead, and the window open. How long had he been in his room? About half an
00:58:33hour, sir. And you heard nothing? Not a sound, sir. And I was in my pantry, which is on this
00:58:38side of the flat. Thank you, master. Would you ask Mr. Adair to come here? Yes. I think
00:58:44if I were you, I should see Colonel Henslow first. I understand he's with Mr. Adair. And
00:58:52after all, he was the last person to see Adair alive. Yes. Would you ask the Colonel to come
00:58:57here? Very good, sir. Well, that disposes of your suicide theory. What do you mean? You're
00:59:10not suggesting that Miss Adair... At any rate, she threatened. But the door was locked on
00:59:15the wrong side. Ah, Colonel. I don't think you know Inspector Lestrade and my friend
00:59:23Sherlock Holmes. Delighted to meet two such famous people. I also am delighted to meet
00:59:29such a distinguished big game hunter. Oh, my hunting days are over. Yes, they must be
00:59:37a great trial to you, of all people. Was it the war? No. A tiger mauled my arm. It turned
00:59:46septic and had to be taken off at the shoulder. I'm lucky to be alive at all. Yes, I'm immensely
00:59:53ignorant about tiger hunting. Tell me, you go out on elephants with beaters, don't you?
00:59:59Pardon me, Mr. Holmes, but I must ask the Colonel a few questions. Yes, all right, Lestrade.
01:00:05I'm very interested in tiger hunting. Well, elephants and beaters are used when royalty
01:00:12and rajahs hunt tigers, but they're expensive. Oh, very. You can always tether a goat and
01:00:22wait till the tiger comes for it. Really, Mr. Holmes, I'm pressed for time and I must
01:00:28ask the Colonel a few questions. Yes, well, fine, Lestrade, fine. You would have laughed
01:00:33to see the deceased alive. Yes. He's been very nervous since last night. He came round
01:00:40this evening and asked me to come back with him for a chat. I suppose you all know what's
01:00:46happened at the bridge party. Yes. One of the players looked like being unpleasant and a
01:00:53dare wanted my advice. And what was your advice? To do nothing at all. Even if it were
01:01:00true, nobody could prove it. And he was less worried when you left? I think he was, a little.
01:01:07I understand the new suitcase was brought to the house last night. Were you there when
01:01:12it arrived? I believe so. I never saw it, but I heard Ronnie tell Martin to take it
01:01:19into his bedroom. What time did you leave? About a quarter to ten. And within three quarters
01:01:26of an hour, he was found dead. Surely it's obvious he shot himself. I disagree, my dear
01:01:33Watson. He was murdered. Of course. You don't really think so? Yes, my dear Colonel. I'm
01:01:43certain of it. And what is more, I'm sure you'll all be glad to hear that within 24
01:01:49hours, I shall not only be in a position to prove it, but I shall have the murderer under
01:01:56lock and key. I'm delighted to hear it. Not that it can bring the poor lad back. You know,
01:02:04Ronnie, with all his faults, was extraordinarily lovable. I feel rather as if I had lost a
01:02:12son. Thank you, Colonel Henslow. I shan't need you anymore. Would you mind asking Mr.
01:02:19Dare to come to me a moment? Certainly. Goodbye, Mr. Holmes. Goodbye, Colonel. I'm sorry I
01:02:33interrupted you, Mr. Holmes, but you seemed so interested in tigers, I thought you were
01:02:37never going to stop. They interest me. The stark ferocity, the cold cruelty. They're
01:02:46human beings, rather like tigers, you know. Now I suppose you're back to your Moriarty
01:02:51theory. You're not going to try and tell me that this is his handiwork? Well, who knows?
01:02:58That man has become an obsession with you. He is. He is. Mrs. Dare, I want to offer you
01:03:11my very sincere sympathy. It was a ghastly shock to me. I can imagine what it must have
01:03:19been to you. I won't keep you a minute, Mrs. Dare. Won't you sit down? When did you last
01:03:32see your brother? At half past six. He came into the dress, and I came in here to give
01:03:37him a message. What was the message? I told him that Mr. Holmes wanted to see him before
01:03:42he went to Paris. You see, I'd asked Mr. Holmes to interview him. What did he say? He was
01:03:48upset. In fact, we had rather a quarrel about it. Another quarrel? You had one the night
01:03:54before. Yes, but this was not so serious. He was merely annoyed that I had spoken to
01:04:00Mr. Holmes. He was very annoyed? Well, rather. He seemed more frightened than annoyed. I
01:04:09couldn't understand. And so you quarreled again? Well, yes. He said I had no business
01:04:15to interfere in his affairs. And did you again threaten to shoot him? Shoot him? What do
01:04:25you mean? The night before, your butler heard you threatening him. Oh, no. I never did anything
01:04:33of the kind. I shoot Ronnie. You said you would rather put a bullet through his head
01:04:41than own a brother who... Oh, that was only a figure of speech. I was accusing him of
01:04:46something... A most unfortunate figure of speech, considering that within 24 hours he
01:04:52was found with a bullet through his head. But you don't think that I... No, miss. But I
01:04:58must ask you to come along with me after I've finished my investigation. I say, Lestrade,
01:05:02this is grotesque. Holmes, listen. Here's Lestrade suggesting that Miss Adele... No,
01:05:08Dr. Watson, I didn't. All I want is for her to come along and make a statement. I'm sure
01:05:13Miss Adele will be delighted to go with you, Lestrade. It's quite a warm night. Anything
01:05:19you say, of course. Thanks, miss. I shall be ready in a minute. Then I'll go and put
01:05:26if you have no more questions. No, nothing else, thanks. This is outrageous. Well, Mr.
01:05:40Holmes, what do you think? It's really remarkable how many varieties of trees there are in the
01:05:48London parks. Have you ever noticed what remarkably fine specimens... Really, Mr. Holmes, you're
01:05:54a most extraordinary man. In the middle of an investigation like this, you begin talking
01:06:00about trees. Holmes, you've heard Lestrade's ghastly accusation. Surely it was suicide.
01:06:07He burned his correspondence. I don't think he did. These are the ashes of, I should say,
01:06:16at least a dozen packs of playing cards, because he was afraid Fisher was going to expose him.
01:06:24My dear Watson, as I've already told you, this was murder, and it was committed from
01:06:29outside this room. What? Shot through the keyhole? Ronald Adair burnt those playing
01:06:37cards, and they caused a great deal of smoke. He opened the window and sat down to write
01:06:45that confession. The moment he sat down, he was shot from outside. But how? From this
01:06:57height, you can hardly see the street. He would have had to have been hanging out of
01:07:02the window, and he wasn't. He was sitting in that chair, and you're suggesting that
01:07:09somebody stood in the middle of Park Lane, between ten and a half past, and fired a rifle?
01:07:15There had to have been a rifle to carry as far as this. And that nobody saw or heard
01:07:21anything, though there must have been hundreds of passers-by? Yes, passers-by there undoubtedly
01:07:26were, but as you've doubtless already ascertained, there were no police about. I beg your pardon,
01:07:32Mr. Holmes? There were always police about. There were a couple on point duty at Staffgate.
01:07:38I find on inquiry that three separate disturbances occurred at precisely 10.15 in this neighbourhood
01:07:45tonight. A lot of ruffs who are not accustomed to frequent the public house round the corner
01:07:52refused to leave and were ejected by the police. A young woman drove a car into a lorry about
01:07:59a hundred yards up the road, and there was a false alarm of fire in Harford Street. It's
01:08:06curious that all these things should have been absolutely simultaneous. But even supposing
01:08:12the police were occupied, you can't stand and fire a rifle into a Park Lane window without
01:08:19somebody having seen and heard something. How true. Do you know a hornbeam when you
01:08:29see one? A hornbeam? There are some remarkably fine specimens in the park. What is a hornbeam?
01:08:38The Latin name is carpinus. They're common in the temperate zones of Asia and some parts
01:08:44of southern England. It looks like a beech, but it isn't. Do you know, Dr. Watson, in
01:08:56spite of the fact that I've known Holmes for some years, I sometimes wonder if he's
01:09:02all there. Put this in your mouth for a few minutes. Huh? Whatever for? I don't think
01:09:15you're at all well. Oh, nonsense, my dear Watson, nonsense. I'm in the very best of
01:09:19health. In spite of a couple of nasty shocks. When did you have a shock? I said two. During
01:09:25the stroll I took this afternoon, I was just going to cross the Marylebone Road. The police
01:09:31were on point duty, was holding up the traffic. When a two-horse van, apparently out of control,
01:09:37whizzed around the corner and was on me in a flash. I sprang to the pavement and saved
01:09:41myself by a fraction of a second. Good heavens, gee. Ten minutes later, a brick fell from
01:09:47the roof of the house. It was shattered at my feet. They were repairing the roof at the
01:09:52time, but the police proved it was an accident. I know better. Very nasty indeed. But these
01:09:59things happened this afternoon. I was worrying about you in the early hours of the morning.
01:10:04What did I do? Do? In the middle of a terribly serious conversation, you started talking
01:10:10about trees in the park and the difference between a hornbeam and a beech. Altogether
01:10:15disconnected. And I thought a little delirious. Yes, I did ramble a bit, didn't I? And I'm
01:10:21sorry you made what Lestrade called a bombastic statement. But within 24 hours, 12 of which
01:10:27by the way have already gone, you would have the murderer. No, he wasn't at all like you,
01:10:31Holmes. No, he did look as if I were very ill, didn't he? It gives Lestrade such a chance
01:10:37to crow. He thinks he's done a frightful lot and you nothing. He's disposed of my suicide
01:10:42theory and made an arrest. Who? I wonder he hasn't arrested you or Mrs. Hudson. And he
01:10:49never stops talking about this mythical Moriarty. Now listen, my dear Watson. I have established
01:10:58to my own satisfaction that in both the Reich Bank and the commercial bank cases, forged
01:11:04notes were substituted for real ones. No. I have also established to my own satisfaction
01:11:11and through the missing suitcase that Ronald Adair was to have taken those English notes
01:11:17to Paris. And the same brain that planned that scheme planned the removal of Ronald
01:11:24Adair. But why should they remove their means of getting the notes safely out of the country?
01:11:28Because Ronald Adair refused at the last minute. Why should he? He was still open to exposure
01:11:34as a cheater. That's what frightened him. He is, but I frightened him still more. When
01:11:40his sister told him that I wanted to see him, he was panic stricken because he realized that
01:11:44his cheating could only result in scandal. The other meant certain jail. I see. What
01:11:51did you make of that letter he was writing about the sleeping Cardinal? Now that, my
01:11:56dear Watson, is the most significant aspect of the case. Do you remember eight months
01:12:03ago when Trimble the Forger was found on the embankment dying from terrible injuries? He
01:12:13uh... Yes? Yes? Yes. Yes. Yes, we mustn't forget your appointment. Appointment? Yes,
01:12:31it's necessary for me to remain alone a little while. So you, my dear Watson, are going to
01:12:38Houston. Houston? Whatever for?
01:12:56What's the idea? You'll see.
01:13:07You're going to have a busy night. Now, I want you to put on your coat and hat, take
01:13:22a suitcase. You needn't pack anything. Get a taxi and make a great fuss about getting
01:13:27it. Call Houston, the driver, and tell him if he doesn't hurry, you'll miss the Scotch
01:13:32Express. The Scotch Express? Yes. You'll be followed. The moment you get to Houston,
01:13:39pay off the taxi and rush round to the booking office.
01:14:02Wait!
01:14:32Wait!
01:15:02Wait!
01:15:32Really, Mr. Holmes, this is a bit too thick. My apologies, Mrs. Hudson. Once again, you've
01:15:45proved yourself far above ordinary women. Well, Mr. Holmes, I did as you told me to.
01:15:50I moved the statue every few minutes when suddenly the old blooming thing falls on top
01:15:55Yes, but you've done very well, Mrs. Hudson. Very well. Lestrade, bring in the prisoner.
01:16:12Oh, may I see that, Lestrade? Take that. That's an admirable and unique weapon. Absolutely
01:16:18noiseless and of tremendous power. Crikey! And you've unheard of the German mechanic
01:16:23who constructed it to the order of Professor Moriarty. I've known of its existence for
01:16:28some time, but I've never handled it before. Ah, Watson, I've just been murdered. Perhaps
01:16:35you'd like to see who my assailant is. As I thought. But Holmes, that's Colonel Henslow.
01:16:45And what are you charging me with? The attempted murder of Sherlock Holmes, of course. No,
01:16:51no, no, Lestrade. I shall not appear in this. To you. And you alone belongs the credit
01:16:56for this remarkable risk. With your usual happy mixture of cunning and audacity, you've
01:17:03got him. Got him? Got whom? The man who climbed the tree in the park last night. Hornbeam
01:17:10to be correct. And shot Ronald Adair through the open window of this flat in Park Lane.
01:17:16Has it occurred to you, Mr. Holmes, that it must be rather difficult to climb a tree
01:17:21and shoot anyone when one only has one arm? Ah, yes, yes, I've forgotten. Your left arm
01:17:27must be causing you great inconvenience. Lestrade, I wonder if you'd be good enough
01:17:31to free it for the Colonel. Hello. What's the game? Let me introduce you to Professor
01:17:40Robert Moriarty. The mythical Moriarty. My obsession. I warned you when you called upon
01:17:48me yesterday that sudden impulses were dangerous. I observed that the first molar in your left
01:17:54upper jaw was very badly filled with gold. And when Colonel Henslow was feeling as if
01:18:00he'd lost the sun, I observed the same bad workmanship in the same tooth. You clever
01:18:05cunning swine. You think you've got me and you're safe. But you're up against an organization,
01:18:12Holmes. They'll get you. They'll destroy you. I might even do it myself.
01:18:20I think you'll find most of your organization waiting for you there. Also a brand new ceiling,
01:18:3870,000 pounds of good English banknotes. Take him away. We shall meet again, Mr. Holmes.
01:18:44The next time you want. You're all right. I am, except my teeth and my tie, which is
01:18:57entirely disorganized. Well, we proved our Moriarty's theory all right, Mr. Holmes.
01:19:04It's not easy to throw dust in your eyes, my dear Lestrade. Doesn't do to trifle with
01:19:11Scotland Yard. Quite true, Mr. Holmes. Quite true. Well now, Watson, what about a drink?
01:19:19You'd like one, wouldn't you? Thanks, Lestrade. I can't think how you managed to discover
01:19:32these things, Holmes. I saw nothing that could have put you on the track of the murderer.
01:19:36On the contrary, my dear Watson, you've seen everything, except the tree, which I told
01:19:41you about, but you were unable to make the necessary deductions. I knew about the existence
01:19:47of that air gun, and I found evidence that the tree opposite the flat had been climbed.
01:19:54By issuing a threat in front of Colonel Hintzer, I made certain that during the 24 hours he'd
01:19:59try to silence me, if he'd silence a deer. Hence your little trip to Houston, Watson.
01:20:06And by placing a bust of myself in the window, which Mrs. Hudson moved occasionally, to make
01:20:11it appear lifelike. I knew that Moriarty couldn't resist such an opportunity.
01:20:17But what gave you the idea, Mr. Holmes? Colonel Hintzer himself. Yes, in the conversation
01:20:23I had with him, the irrelevant one about tigers, Watson. You can always tether a goat to the
01:20:29bait, and wait till the tiger comes. Of course. But what about the sleeping caravan?
01:20:40A gutter is made a stake in the sleeping caravan. It's the painting in the room in which you
01:20:45were tied up, Watson. And so which Moriarty used to speak, unseen by his duties. And only
01:20:52one regret. That the bust of myself by Angela Palestini has been irretrievably ruined.
