took place. 38 00:02:06.829 --> 00:02:08.669 Well, you told us last week, Doctor, that a pair 39 00:02:08.710 --> 00:02:10.930 of canaries played an important part in the story. 40 00:02:10.949 --> 00:02:11.729 That's quite right, Mr. 41 00:02:11.750 --> 00:02:12.090 Foreman. 42 00:02:12.370 --> 00:02:15.520 It was in the summer of 1908, I remember, and 43 00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:17.919 I had persuaded Holmes to leave his Sussex Bee farm 44 00:02:18.259 --> 00:02:19.800 for a few weeks and to join me in a 45 00:02:19.819 --> 00:02:23.460 holiday at the little fishing village of Kingsgate in Kent. 46 00:02:24.340 --> 00:02:26.419 We were staying at a charming little inn called the 47 00:02:26.460 --> 00:02:30.750 Fisherman's Arms, and for the first few days, our holiday 48 00:02:30.789 --> 00:02:33.099 was the delightful one. And then. 49 00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:36.180 And then, I suppose, Doctor, strange things began to happen. 50 00:02:36.539 --> 00:02:38.879 They did indeed, Mr. Foreman, they did indeed. 51 00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:44.169 Very strange things. One afternoon, we'd just finished a late tea, 52 00:02:44.250 --> 00:02:47.430 I remember, and we're sitting outside on the lawn sunning 53 00:02:47.469 --> 00:02:53.409 ourselves and enjoying our pipe. Holmes lay back with his long, 54 00:02:53.550 --> 00:02:56.990 thin fingers cast behind his head, gazing thoughtfully at the 55 00:02:57.050 --> 00:03:01.689 multicolored fishing boat bobbing its anchor in the harbor. After 56 00:03:01.710 --> 00:03:03.689 a moment or two, he spoke to me. 57 00:03:04.949 --> 00:03:06.530 Watson, you're really a splendid companion. 58 00:03:07.569 --> 00:03:09.129 I can't think of anyone else who would let me 59 00:03:09.169 --> 00:03:11.030 smoke my pipe in silence for half an hour without 60 00:03:11.110 --> 00:03:12.129 asking me what I'm thinking about. 61 00:03:12.169 --> 00:03:15.469 That's not very surprising, Holmes, after all the years that. 62 00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:16.180 We've been together. 63 00:03:16.189 --> 00:03:18.879 Well, nevertheless, the gift is a rare one, old chap, 64 00:03:19.219 --> 00:03:20.039 and I appreciate it. 65 00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:24.139 Oh, thank you, Oliver. By the way, since the half 66 00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:27.939 hour's up, what have you been thinking about? A lack 67 00:03:27.979 --> 00:03:29.259 of enterprise of a modern criminal. 68 00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:32.360 Audacity and romance seem to have passed forever from the 69 00:03:32.379 --> 00:03:34.599 criminal world. Read this note I received this morning. 70 00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:34.969 Old fellow. 71 00:03:34.990 --> 00:03:37.050 See for yourself how low I have sunk. 72 00:03:37.129 --> 00:03:37.969 All right, so look. 73 00:03:40.009 --> 00:03:40.370 Mr. 74 00:03:40.409 --> 00:03:43.830 Holmes, I am staying in the same inn as yourself, 75 00:03:44.349 --> 00:03:48.830 and as I have had a very frightening experience, I 76 00:03:48.949 --> 00:03:52.090 thought perhaps you would help me please do. 77 00:03:52.110 --> 00:03:54.509 It's signed Mary Victor. 78 00:03:54.789 --> 00:03:58.409 An exciting document, isn't it? Written on lavender notepaper, reeking 79 00:03:58.449 --> 00:04:00.550 of perfume. And the handwriting is obviously that of an 80 00:04:00.629 --> 00:04:01.409 adolescent girl. 81 00:04:01.469 --> 00:04:03.030 You haven't bothered to answer the course. 82 00:04:03.110 --> 00:04:05.280 Oh, yes, I have. I sent a message back by 83 00:04:05.340 --> 00:04:07.039 our good landlord that I would be glad to see her. 84 00:04:07.379 --> 00:04:10.560 Why, Holmes? You came down here to complete your handbook 85 00:04:10.659 --> 00:04:11.460 on bee farming? 86 00:04:12.139 --> 00:04:12.360 Oh. 87 00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:14.560 Can't found it. 88 00:04:14.580 --> 00:04:18.259 Those two wretched canaries are getting their sunbath on the 89 00:04:18.300 --> 00:04:19.000 windowsill above us. 90 00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:19.680 Oh, I think it's. 91 00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:22.339 Rather jolly to hear little fellows chirping away up there. 92 00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:24.660 Oh, I find the sound most distracting. Let's go inside. 93 00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:29.660 You know, Holmes, those birds are owned by a charming couple, 94 00:04:29.819 --> 00:04:30.180 a Mr. 95 00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:30.720 And Mrs. 96 00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:33.839 Wainwright. I was chatting with them on the stairs this morning. 97 00:04:33.860 --> 00:04:35.519 I'm afraid their charm will escape me as long as 98 00:04:35.540 --> 00:04:39.199 their pets continue to tweet in that irritating manner. You've 99 00:04:39.220 --> 00:04:41.420 spoken of a peace inquired at the country inn, Watson. 100 00:04:41.459 --> 00:04:46.910 And yet I find that... Come in. Ah, Miss Mary Victor, 101 00:04:46.949 --> 00:04:49.910 I presume. Yes, Mr. Holmes. Please come in. Close the door, 102 00:04:49.930 --> 00:04:51.649 won't you? Thank you. 103 00:04:51.670 --> 00:04:53.089 This is my old friend, Dr. 104 00:04:53.110 --> 00:04:54.839 Watson. You may speak quite freely in front of him. 105 00:04:55.310 --> 00:04:56.310 How do you do, Miss Victor? 106 00:04:56.569 --> 00:04:57.310 How do you do, Doctor? 107 00:04:57.610 --> 00:04:59.709 Now, sit down, young lady, and tell me what's troubling you. 108 00:05:00.509 --> 00:05:00.750 Mr. 109 00:05:00.790 --> 00:05:03.410 Holmes, I came down here from London to get away 110 00:05:03.449 --> 00:05:03.910 from someone. 111 00:05:04.550 --> 00:05:05.310 But I've been followed. 112 00:05:06.009 --> 00:05:08.089 I've been afraid to leave the inn until last night 113 00:05:08.110 --> 00:05:10.160 I felt I couldn't stand being cooped up any longer. 114 00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:12.259 So I went for a walk on the seashore. 115 00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:14.199 Someone followed me, Mr. 116 00:05:14.220 --> 00:05:16.459 Holmes. I ran back here as fast as I could. 117 00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:19.759 But now he knows where I live. And I'm

frightened. 118 00:05:20.139 --> 00:05:22.220 Please help me. My dear Miss Victor, I'm afraid you 119 00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:24.490 must be much more specific before I can help you. 120 00:05:25.139 --> 00:05:27.439 Who has followed you down here, and why are you 121 00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:27.860 afraid of him? 122 00:05:28.689 --> 00:05:29.689 I'll tell you the whole story. 123 00:05:30.350 --> 00:05:33.319 It'll sound strange to you, but I swear it's... Oh, 124 00:05:33.350 --> 00:05:34.509 there he is again, down by the gate. 125 00:05:35.029 --> 00:05:35.810 I'm going to my room. 126 00:05:35.850 --> 00:05:36.790 Now, now, now, now. 127 00:05:36.850 --> 00:05:38.209 Don't you be frightened, Miss Victor. 128 00:05:38.250 --> 00:05:39.110 I'm sure we'll be. 129 00:05:39.129 --> 00:05:44.009 Oh, my soul. It's not a thing. 130 00:05:44.129 --> 00:05:46.410 I don't see anyone outside who might have frightened her. 131 00:05:46.430 --> 00:05:48.050 There are two or three fishermen loitering about. 132 00:05:49.389 --> 00:05:52.279 Wait a minute. Here's a young fellow walking up the park. 133 00:05:52.379 --> 00:05:52.779 Come on, Watson. 134 00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:52.959 Come on. 135 00:05:53.420 --> 00:05:54.399 I'm through the French windows again. 136 00:05:54.420 --> 00:05:55.199 Oh, good gracious me. 137 00:05:55.290 --> 00:05:56.050 Here we go again. 138 00:05:56.060 --> 00:05:58.449 I think we'll take the liberty of accosting him. 139 00:05:59.569 --> 00:06:02.949 Excuse me, sir. Yes? Are you looking for Miss Mary Victor? 140 00:06:02.970 --> 00:06:06.430 Is she young and pretty? Yes, sir. She is. Extremely so. 141 00:06:06.449 --> 00:06:07.500 Then I'm looking for her. 142 00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:10.139 Where can I find her? I can see you're being facetious, sir. 143 00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:11.620 Well, there's no harm in that, is there? 144 00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:13.800 By the way, who are you gentlemen, may I ask? 145 00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:16.120 My name is Holmes, and this is my friend Dr. Watson. 146 00:06:16.579 --> 00:06:17.439 I'm Basil Carter. 147 00:06:18.259 --> 00:06:20.319 You're not Sherlock Holmes, are you? That is my name. 148 00:06:20.339 --> 00:06:21.920 I thought you seemed familiar. 149 00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:24.110 I know your brother, Mycroft. Oh, indeed. 150 00:06:24.589 --> 00:06:26.290 Then I presume you're connected with the Foreign Office. 151 00:06:26.550 --> 00:06:28.069 Yes, I'm in the consular service. 152 00:06:28.310 --> 00:06:30.269 Are you staying at the inn, young man? 153 00:06:30.709 --> 00:06:31.430 For a few days. 154 00:06:32.230 --> 00:06:34.329 It's funny that I should run into the great Sherlock Holmes. 155 00:06:34.410 --> 00:06:35.240 Why, may I ask? 156 00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:36.639 I was planning a murder. 157 00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:37.439 Oh, really? 158 00:06:38.019 --> 00:06:39.000 But with the gentleman here. 159 00:06:39.060 --> 00:06:40.850 I see that I shall have to be very discreet. 160

00:06:41.629 --> 00:06:44.209 Who is your intended victim, may I inquire? There are 161 00:06:44.290 --> 00:06:46.509 two of them. The two canaries in the room next 162 00:06:46.550 --> 00:06:48.009 to mine. Oh, canaries. 163 00:06:48.230 --> 00:06:51.410 For a moment, I thought that you were really serious. 164 00:06:51.750 --> 00:06:53.980 But I am serious. The wretched creatures have been driving 165 00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:55.639 me mad. I quite sympathize with you, sir. 166 00:06:56.180 --> 00:06:57.300 I've been thinking of committing a. 167 00:06:57.300 --> 00:06:59.500 Slight case of mayhem on them myself. We can take 168 00:06:59.579 --> 00:07:00.180 one apiece, Mr. 169 00:07:00.220 --> 00:07:00.500 Holmes. 170 00:07:01.060 --> 00:07:02.379 Well, I'm glad to have met you both. 171 00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:03.860 I'll proudly see you again. 172 00:07:03.980 --> 00:07:05.759 Goodbye. Goodbye, sir. Goodbye. 173 00:07:07.470 --> 00:07:09.480 I don't like that fellow, Holmes. If you ask me, 174 00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:11.519 he's the man who's been fighting the poor girl that 175 00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:14.019 came to this. He had a peculiar look on his 176 00:07:14.060 --> 00:07:17.220 face when you asked me he was looking for Mary Victor. 177 00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:19.120 There's only one person who can settle the question, and 178 00:07:19.139 --> 00:07:20.040 that's the young lady herself. 179 00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:22.040 Come on, old fellow. Let's go back indoors. 180 00:07:22.620 --> 00:07:24.259 Here comes Wainwright, the owner of the Canaries. 181 00:07:24.649 --> 00:07:27.110 Good evening, Mr. Wainwright. Good evening, gentlemen. 182 00:07:27.889 --> 00:07:30.509 This is my friend, Mr. Sherlock Holmes. 183 00:07:31.089 --> 00:07:33.389 I am honored to meet you, sir. How do you do, Mr. Wainwright? 184 00:07:33.670 --> 00:07:34.850 Beautiful evening, isn't it? 185 00:07:35.829 --> 00:07:37.290 I just took a stroll down. 186 00:07:37.089 --> 00:07:39.730 To the store to get some more bird seed. By 187 00:07:39.769 --> 00:07:42.529 the way, Mr. Holmes, I hope our canaries don't bother you. 188 00:07:43.129 --> 00:07:45.529 Little fellows are such a comfort to my wife and me. 189 00:07:45.649 --> 00:07:46.709 Oh, no, no, not at all, sir. 190 00:07:47.290 --> 00:07:50.470 I find their chirping very soothing. Oh, I'm so glad. 191 00:07:51.180 --> 00:07:52.500 Good night, gentlemen. Good night, sir. 192 00:07:52.540 --> 00:07:53.500 Good night, Mr. Wilson. 193 00:07:54.259 --> 00:07:55.220 Not Wilson, Mr. 194 00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:57.740 Holmes. Wainwright. Oh, I beg your pardon. I'm so sorry. 195 00:07:57.759 --> 00:07:58.519 I thought you said Wilson. 196 00:07:58.959 --> 00:07:59.279 Good night. 197 00:07:59.300 --> 00:08:02.360 Well, not like you to mix up. 198 00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:03.100 Names, Holmes. 199 00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:07.160 I didn't mix them up, old fellow. I never forget 200 00:08:07.220 --> 00:08:08.740 a face. Mr. 201 00:08:08.779 --> 00:08:11.720 Wainwright is in reality Wilson, the notorious canary trainer. 202 00:08:12.100 --> 00:08:12.300 whom I. 203 00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:14.259 Had the pleasure of sending to prison for a seven-year 204 00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:17.259 stretch in 95. Some years later, he made one of 205 00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:20.490 the most spectacular escapes from prison... in the history of crime. 206 00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:23.639 and has since managed to evade all efforts to recapture him. 207 00:08:23.750 --> 00:08:24.529 It's got me. 208 00:08:24.550 --> 00:08:25.689 He seems to be sweet over. 209 00:08:26.129 --> 00:08:28.829 Possibly he's reformed, but I doubt it. Our stage is 210 00:08:28.889 --> 00:08:31.569 set for an intriguing problem, old chap... and our cast 211 00:08:31.629 --> 00:08:34.149 is an interesting one. A frightened young girl. 212 00:08:34.870 --> 00:08:37.690 A diplomat of uncertain integrity and a noted criminal, Watson. 213 00:08:38.230 --> 00:08:40.049 I have a feeling that once again the game's afoot. 214 00:08:40.529 --> 00:08:41.149 Holmes! 215 00:08:53.539 --> 00:08:55.740 Why are we strolling along the pier instead of staying 216 00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:57.860 at the inn? I thought you said that you were 217 00:08:57.899 --> 00:08:58.740 expecting trouble. 218 00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:01.360 I am, old chap. And I'm sure it will find 219 00:09:01.419 --> 00:09:01.679 us out. 220 00:09:01.899 --> 00:09:05.000 You know, Holmes, I'm still completely mystified by the behavior 221 00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:07.110 of that girl Mary Victor. I knocked at her door 222 00:09:07.139 --> 00:09:08.529 last evening again this morning. 223 00:09:09.250 --> 00:09:11.429 I couldn't get any answer. And the landlord told me 224 00:09:11.490 --> 00:09:13.629 that she was not seen at dinner last night nor 225 00:09:13.690 --> 00:09:14.789 at breakfast this morning. 226 00:09:15.049 --> 00:09:18.169 And yet her room has not been vacated. Curious. Hello. 227 00:09:18.190 --> 00:09:20.700 There's the village constable sunning himself at the end of 228 00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:21.129 the pier. 229 00:09:21.149 --> 00:09:21.240 Yeah. 230 00:09:22.250 --> 00:09:23.149 Good morning, Sergeant Blake. 231 00:09:23.429 --> 00:09:24.990 Mr. Holmes, Dr. Watson. 232 00:09:25.330 --> 00:09:26.220 How are you, gentlemen? 233 00:09:26.529 --> 00:09:29.120 Splendid, thank you, Sergeant. And very appreciative of the weather 234 00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:30.259 that you've provided for us. 235 00:09:30.299 --> 00:09:32.720 Oh, think nothing of it, sir. We always arrange that 236 00:09:32.759 --> 00:09:34.440 for our really distinguished visitors. 237 00:09:35.659 --> 00:09:36.370 By the way, Mr. 238 00:09:36.379 --> 00:09:39.389 Holmes, I was reading one of your friend's stories about 239 00:09:39.409 --> 00:09:43.289 you last night. The one called The Adventure of Mysterious Lords. 240 00:09:43.529 --> 00:09:47.179 That was wisteria, Lord, you foolish

fellow. 241 00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:49.679 Maybe it was. Anyway, I was reading it aloud to me, 242 00:09:49.740 --> 00:09:52.799 old woman. And if you don't mind my saying so, Mr. Holmes, 243 00:09:53.139 --> 00:09:55.120 we both thought you made a bad mistake. 244 00:09:55.250 --> 00:09:55.450 Oh, really? 245 00:09:55.470 --> 00:09:57.889 Though, of course, you come out all right in the end. 246 00:09:57.909 --> 00:09:59.669 Hear me, Sergeant, I stand reproved. 247 00:10:00.009 --> 00:10:00.809 Excuse me, Sergeant. 248 00:10:00.830 --> 00:10:01.470 Holmes, Holmes, look. 249 00:10:01.490 --> 00:10:03.610 Look at that figure standing by itself right at the 250 00:10:03.649 --> 00:10:04.230 end of the pier. 251 00:10:05.669 --> 00:10:07.710 Our friend Wilson, the canary trainer. 252 00:10:07.730 --> 00:10:08.450 He's got a revolver. 253 00:10:08.529 --> 00:10:08.909 Here, here. 254 00:10:08.929 --> 00:10:10.820 We don't want any of these goings-on in Kingsgate. 255 00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:11.059 Come on. 256 00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:12.500 Here, you. 257 00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:14.740 What are you doing leaving that revolver about? 258 00:10:14.750 --> 00:10:15.889 Keep back the three of you. 259 00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:17.139 I'm the lawyer. 260 00:10:17.419 --> 00:10:18.620 Don't you tell me what to do. 261 00:10:20.169 --> 00:10:21.149 He's back, I say. 262 00:10:21.649 --> 00:10:22.570 I'm not afraid to fire. 263 00:10:22.590 --> 00:10:24.490 Better do as he says, Sergeant. You don't want to 264 00:10:24.509 --> 00:10:27.169 trifle with. Just exactly what are you up to, Wilson? 265 00:10:27.590 --> 00:10:30.789 You've caught up with me once again, Sherlock Holmes. But 266 00:10:30.830 --> 00:10:32.929 this time you're not going to send me back to 267 00:10:32.980 --> 00:10:35.299 a prison again. And maybe the gallows. 268 00:10:35.820 --> 00:10:38.559 If I can't escape you, then I'll take my own 269 00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:39.679 way out with this revolver. 270 00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:41.360 Wilson, what in thunder are you talking about? 271 00:10:41.379 --> 00:10:42.799 The murder at the inn last night. 272 00:10:43.139 --> 00:10:43.529 I did it. 273 00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:44.000 Murder? 274 00:10:44.019 --> 00:10:46.440 I'm confessing in front of the three of you. Now 275 00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:50.529 you leave my wife alone. She didn't know anything about it. Now, 276 00:10:51.409 --> 00:10:53.190 I hope you're satisfied, Mr. 277 00:10:53.269 --> 00:10:54.029 Sherlock Holmes. 278 00:10:54.070 --> 00:10:55.470 He's pointing the revolver at the head. 279 00:10:55.610 --> 00:10:56.509 You fool, stop it. 280 00:10:59.029 --> 00:10:59.950 Strike me, Pink. 281 00:11:00.370 --> 00:11:00.820 He done it. 282 00:11:01.110 --> 00:11:02.370 Over the pier and into the sea. 283 00:11:02.389 --> 00:11:04.730 Get help, Sergeant. It's possible he isn't dead. Right, sir. 284 00:11:05.110 --> 00:11:05.669 Come on, Watson. 285 00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:08.269 We're going

back to the inn, I suppose. Of course 286 00:11:08.289 --> 00:11:08.600 we are. 287 00:11:08.620 --> 00:11:12.460 We've just heard a murder confession, but we don't know 288 00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:13.519 who has been murdered. 289 00:11:27.789 --> 00:11:31.409 Holmes, Holmes, what was the telegram that you sent off 290 00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:31.960 just now? 291 00:11:31.980 --> 00:11:33.639 A message to my brother, Mycroft. 292 00:11:33.860 --> 00:11:36.720 The innkeeper informed me that Basil Carter, the young diplomat 293 00:11:36.740 --> 00:11:39.700 we met yesterday, left in rather hurriedly in the early 294 00:11:39.740 --> 00:11:40.460 hours of this morning. 295 00:11:40.620 --> 00:11:41.480 Come on, let's go upstairs. 296 00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:44.679 Well, we'll have to break the news to Mrs. Wainwright, 297 00:11:44.700 --> 00:11:45.100 I suppose. 298 00:11:45.220 --> 00:11:47.139 Before we do that, I think we'll see if Miss 299 00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:48.159 Victor's in her room. 300 00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:50.879 Which one is it? Here, top of the stairs. 301 00:11:50.899 --> 00:11:55.440 Hmm. 302 00:11:55.460 --> 00:11:56.730 We'll take the liberty of looking in. 303 00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:02.039 Victor hasn't been seen since last night. Uh-huh. Unlocked. 304 00:12:06.519 --> 00:12:09.279 Lord, what a mess. Clothes strewn all over the place, 305 00:12:09.460 --> 00:12:10.419 open suitcases. 306 00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:12.279 It looks as if the young lady had been planning 307 00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:13.419 an immediate departure. 308 00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:14.440 Where could she be? 309 00:12:15.179 --> 00:12:17.169 No one's seen her since last night. Mr. 310 00:12:17.220 --> 00:12:18.000 Mary, I. 311 00:12:19.179 --> 00:12:19.279 Oh. 312 00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:22.879 Oh, I beg your pardon, gentlemen. I thought I heard 313 00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:23.740 Mary Victor come in. 314 00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:25.159 I'm Mrs. 315 00:12:25.220 --> 00:12:27.700 Wainwright. Mrs. Wainwright. I'm, uh. 316 00:12:28.580 --> 00:12:31.600 Afraid we have some rather bad news for you. 317 00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:33.700 Your husband shot himself a quarter of an hour ago 318 00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:35.320 at the end of a pier and his body fell 319 00:12:35.340 --> 00:12:35.860 into the sea. 320 00:12:36.899 --> 00:12:37.980 Is he dead? 321 00:12:38.379 --> 00:12:40.659 We must presume so, madam. I left the police sergeant 322 00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:43.120 there searching for him. Sergeant Blake should be back here 323 00:12:43.139 --> 00:12:43.679 at any moment now. 324 00:12:43.710 --> 00:12:45.169 So he did it. 325 00:12:46.309 --> 00:12:47.029 After all. 326 00:12:47.269 --> 00:12:49.149 You don't seem very surprised, madam. 327 00:12:49.649 --> 00:12:50.759 He threatened to do it. 328 00:12:51.429 --> 00:12:51.649 Mrs. 329 00:12:51.669 --> 00:12:54.639 Wainwright, before your husband shot himself... He confessed to committing 330 00:12:54.690 --> 00:12:56.649

a murder in this inn last night. 331 00:12:56.669 --> 00:12:59.929 A murder? Whose murder? At the moment, we're not quite sure. 332 00:12:59.950 --> 00:13:01.769 Oh, he must have been out of his mind. 333 00:13:01.809 --> 00:13:01.879 Mrs. 334 00:13:01.909 --> 00:13:04.330 Wainwright, I'm afraid I must ask you some rather painful questions. 335 00:13:04.370 --> 00:13:06.549 Are you aware that your husband was a criminal? That 336 00:13:06.570 --> 00:13:09.250 he served a prison sentence under the name of Wilson? 337 00:13:09.370 --> 00:13:10.190 Yes, I knew that. 338 00:13:10.450 --> 00:13:12.490 He told me when we were married two years ago. 339 00:13:12.860 --> 00:13:14.679 But he said that he'd gone straight ever since he'd 340 00:13:14.700 --> 00:13:17.200 come out of prison. That's why he changed his name. 341 00:13:17.940 --> 00:13:19.600 He was trying to make a fresh start. 342 00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:21.879 You know of no reason for his planning to kill 343 00:13:21.899 --> 00:13:22.799 anyone at this inn? 344 00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:26.429 None. And unless you find someone murdered, I wouldn't give 345 00:13:26.509 --> 00:13:27.600 too much thought to it. 346 00:13:27.750 --> 00:13:29.470 Yes, if you'll forgive my saying so, madam, you seem 347 00:13:29.509 --> 00:13:33.110 remarkably unmoved by your husband's tragedy. Why should I pretend? 348 00:13:33.570 --> 00:13:34.769 We were very unhappy together. 349 00:13:34.789 --> 00:13:37.210 This might be the best way out of it for 350 00:13:37.250 --> 00:13:42.370 both of us. My husband carried quite a large amount 351 00:13:42.429 --> 00:13:46.669 of life insurance. In the event of suicide, would that 352 00:13:46.690 --> 00:13:47.169 be payable? 353 00:13:47.610 --> 00:13:48.470 It's on the policy, madam. 354 00:13:48.649 --> 00:13:51.610 But I must say that from your attitude, I begin to. 355 00:13:51.570 --> 00:13:52.970 Doubt whether your husband is dead. 356 00:13:53.090 --> 00:13:53.610 What do you mean? 357 00:13:53.870 --> 00:13:54.470 I mean that if Mr. 358 00:13:54.509 --> 00:13:57.409 Wilson, or if you prefer it, Mr. Wainwright, wished to 359 00:13:57.450 --> 00:14:00.700 disappear in spectacular style, what could be simpler than to 360 00:14:00.740 --> 00:14:02.480 pretend to shoot himself, drop into the sea. 361 00:14:02.500 --> 00:14:02.639 Mr. 362 00:14:02.700 --> 00:14:02.879 Holmes! 363 00:14:03.340 --> 00:14:03.440 Mr. 364 00:14:03.460 --> 00:14:03.639 Holmes! 365 00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:08.750 I'm up here, Sergeant. Ah, did you find him? Yes, Mr. 366 00:14:08.769 --> 00:14:10.529 Holmes. We fished him out right away. 367 00:14:10.830 --> 00:14:11.730 Dead as a doornail. 368 00:14:12.090 --> 00:14:13.429 Shot himself to the head, he did. 369 00:14:13.470 --> 00:14:15.950 Well, that disposes of your last theory, Holmes. 370 00:14:16.169 --> 00:14:18.100 Did you find the revolver, Sergeant? 371 00:14:18.250 --> 00:14:18.629 Yes, ma'am. 372 00:14:18.669 --> 00:14:19.720 Got it

right here with me. 373 00:14:19.899 --> 00:14:22.659 One bullet missing. Have you found out if anyone here 374 00:14:22.700 --> 00:14:23.120 has been. 375 00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:23.539 Murdered, Mr. 376 00:14:23.580 --> 00:14:24.759 Holmes? I found out very little as yet. 377 00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:27.919 Wait a moment. Listen. 378 00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:31.399 I don't hear anything. 379 00:14:32.070 --> 00:14:32.419 Exactly. 380 00:14:32.450 --> 00:14:33.009 You hear nothing. 381 00:14:33.929 --> 00:14:35.750 Yet we're within a few feet of the Wainwright's room. 382 00:14:35.909 --> 00:14:38.649 What do you mean, Mr. Harris? I mean that there. 383 00:14:38.590 --> 00:14:40.909 Is one sound we should be hearing very clearly at 384 00:14:40.929 --> 00:14:41.269 the moment. 385 00:14:41.330 --> 00:14:42.730 Why, I think of it before. 386 00:14:43.830 --> 00:14:47.950 The sound of your canaries chirping. You've heard little else 387 00:14:47.970 --> 00:14:48.429 for days. 388 00:14:48.470 --> 00:14:48.970 Come on, Watson. 389 00:14:52.169 --> 00:14:52.870 Where are you going? 390 00:14:53.629 --> 00:14:54.230 Your room, madam. 391 00:14:54.250 --> 00:15:00.779 I'm afraid I must dispense with asking your permission. 392 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:04.110 You're already in my room. It seems a little late 393 00:15:04.139 --> 00:15:05.429 even to mention the subject. 394 00:15:05.450 --> 00:15:07.389 Here's the birdcage and the windowsill. 395 00:15:08.490 --> 00:15:11.269 Oh, the birds are gone. No, old chap. 396 00:15:12.350 --> 00:15:14.629 If you look more closely, you'll see them on the bottom. 397 00:15:14.429 --> 00:15:15.009 Of the cage. 398 00:15:15.659 --> 00:15:17.379 Let me open this door and get one of them out. 399 00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:22.720 Joe Holmes, they're dead. 400 00:15:22.940 --> 00:15:24.879 And yet when we entered the inn a few minutes ago, 401 00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:25.730 they were still chirping. 402 00:15:25.750 --> 00:15:27.610 But who on earth would want to kill a couple 403 00:15:27.629 --> 00:15:28.149 of birds? 404 00:15:28.590 --> 00:15:29.990 That, my dear fellow, is one of the things we 405 00:15:30.029 --> 00:15:32.409 have to find out. So far, I must admit, I'm puzzled. 406 00:15:33.169 --> 00:15:35.610 We have a self-confessed murderer, and the nearest thing we 407 00:15:35.649 --> 00:15:36.389 can find to a. 408 00:15:36.409 --> 00:15:48.840 Corpse is a pair of dead canaries. We'll bring you 409 00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:49.600 the rest of Dr. 410 00:15:49.620 --> 00:15:52.279 Watson's story in just a second. A second I'll take, 411 00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:54.399 if you don't mind, to ask you if you've ever 412 00:15:54.460 --> 00:15:58.500 had a glass of Petri California Sherry. Because if you haven't, boy, 413 00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:02.190 you want to remedy that situation pronto. Try that Petri 414 00:16:02.210 --> 00:16:03.330 Sherry before. 415 00:16:03.009 --> 00:16:06.090 Dinner some evening. Look at its clear

amber color. 416 00:16:06.509 --> 00:16:08.610 Smell the fragrance of those luscious grapes. 417 00:16:09.190 --> 00:16:10.250 And get a sample of. 418 00:16:10.210 --> 00:16:15.149 That Petri flavor. That Petri Sherry can turn the usual 419 00:16:15.190 --> 00:16:18.879 before-dinner lull into a main event. And say, if you 420 00:16:18.909 --> 00:16:21.559 like your Sherry dry, as I do, wait till you 421 00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:23.679 taste Petri Pale Dry Sherry. 422 00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:24.940 Is that ever good? 423 00:16:25.419 --> 00:16:28.539 But after all, when it's a Petri wine, it's always 424 00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:42.700 a good wine. And now, back to tonight's new Sherlock 425 00:16:42.740 --> 00:16:45.919 Holmes adventure. Strange events are taking place in the Kentish 426 00:16:46.019 --> 00:16:49.990 fishing village of Kingsgate. A self-confessed murderer has committed suicide, 427 00:16:50.230 --> 00:16:53.210 but his victim cannot be found. As we rejoin our story, 428 00:16:53.230 --> 00:16:55.870 the great detective and his old friend, Dr. Watson, are 429 00:16:55.950 --> 00:16:58.769 once again examining the room of Mary Victor, one of 430 00:16:58.809 --> 00:16:59.470 the missing guests. 431 00:17:00.070 --> 00:17:02.710 You know, Holmes, the murder that Wilson confessed to before 432 00:17:02.730 --> 00:17:05.549 he committed suicide might have been the killing of those 433 00:17:05.569 --> 00:17:06.210 two canaries. 434 00:17:06.250 --> 00:17:06.970 I think not, old chap. 435 00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:10.440 Wilson obviously loved the creatures and kept them in spite 436 00:17:10.460 --> 00:17:12.369 of the fact that they were dangerously apt to identify 437 00:17:12.390 --> 00:17:13.390 him with his criminal past. 438 00:17:14.170 --> 00:17:18.230 Uh-huh. Interesting. Very interesting. 439 00:17:19.089 --> 00:17:19.269 Huh? 440 00:17:20.210 --> 00:17:20.890 What have you found? 441 00:17:20.930 --> 00:17:23.089 This note lying on Miss Victor's dressing table. 442 00:17:23.269 --> 00:17:23.470 Here. 443 00:17:24.150 --> 00:17:28.819 So, look. You think you can hide from me, Mary, 444 00:17:28.900 --> 00:17:33.059 but you can't. Wherever I go, I shall follow you, 445 00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:37.500 so why not get wise to yourself first? And stop 446 00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:42.539 running away. Sounds as if the poor girl was in danger, 447 00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:42.920 all right. 448 00:17:43.259 --> 00:17:45.940 Possibly, but the writer of that note was certainly obliging. 449 00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:47.599 Though the letter is. 450 00:17:47.619 --> 00:17:50.349 Unsigned, he at least gives us a clue to his identity. 451 00:17:50.369 --> 00:17:52.490 Oh, what clue? The phrase, get wise to yourself, is 452 00:17:52.509 --> 00:17:54.630 very un-English. It's American. Come on, old chap. 453 00:17:54.710 --> 00:17:55.549 Well, where are we going now? 454 00:17:55.589 --> 00:17:58.160 The envelope to this letter has the Kingsgate postmark

on it. 455 00:17:58.630 --> 00:18:00.759 I should be surprised if that fount of all knowledge, 456 00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:04.180 the village postmistress, can't help us find an American visitor. 457 00:18:12.089 --> 00:18:14.359 Yes, I know the young man you must be looking for, gentlemen. 458 00:18:14.410 --> 00:18:15.660 His name's Walter C. 459 00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:16.180 Bunker. 460 00:18:16.599 --> 00:18:19.059 He's been in here to send telegrams. And his accent's 461 00:18:19.099 --> 00:18:21.400 so strong you could cut it with a knife. Just 462 00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:23.039 like one of the very Indian fellows you read about, 463 00:18:23.059 --> 00:18:23.220 you know. 464 00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:24.269 Can you tell me where he lives, madam? 465 00:18:24.660 --> 00:18:25.569 Very well, sir. 466 00:18:25.990 --> 00:18:26.970 He's been rooming at Mrs. 467 00:18:27.029 --> 00:18:27.569 Bell's house. 468 00:18:27.569 --> 00:18:30.609 15 Laburnum Grove, down behind the guest room. 469 00:18:30.609 --> 00:18:33.190 15 Laburnum Grove, Mrs. Bell. Thank you. Thank you very much. 470 00:18:33.269 --> 00:18:34.450 I'm very much obliged to you. 471 00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:43.720 Mrs. Bell? Yes, sir. 472 00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:46.660 What can I do for you, gentlemen? Well, we understand 473 00:18:46.700 --> 00:18:49.359 that Mr. Walter Bunker has been staying with. 474 00:18:49.319 --> 00:18:49.720 You, madam. 475 00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:50.920 That he has. 476 00:18:51.509 --> 00:18:53.329 A nice young American gentleman. 477 00:18:53.410 --> 00:18:55.690 Is he at home, may I ask? No, sir. 478 00:18:55.710 --> 00:18:59.869 And I'm worried about him. This morning, when he goes out, 479 00:19:00.309 --> 00:19:02.390 he asks me where the nearest cemetery is. 480 00:19:02.730 --> 00:19:03.170 Cemetery? 481 00:19:03.289 --> 00:19:04.910 Who gives me? I tell him. 482 00:19:05.309 --> 00:19:07.150 And then he gives a queer kind of laugh. 483 00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:09.200 I'm not sure I'll see you. 484 00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:10.000 Anymore, he says. 485 00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:12.720 And then he walks off, and I haven't seen him since. 486 00:19:13.660 --> 00:19:15.339 I tell you, I'm worried about. 487 00:19:15.099 --> 00:19:17.440 Him, gentlemen. And where is the nearest cemetery, Mrs. 488 00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:18.759 Bell, the one you directed him to? 489 00:19:19.460 --> 00:19:22.829 About three miles from here. Just this side of Branson Woods. 490 00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:24.130 Thank you, madam. Come on, Watson. 491 00:19:24.150 --> 00:19:35.170 The cemetery seems deserted. 492 00:19:35.190 --> 00:19:39.109 Shh, shh, shh. This music comes from the church. Oh, Lord, 493 00:19:39.390 --> 00:19:48.930 it's a funeral. Or a wedding. Come on. By Joby, 494 00:19:48.950 --> 00:19:51.309 it is a wedding. Holmes. I'm afraid we're on the 495 00:19:51.349 --> 00:20:00.119 false trail. But we'd better make sure. Quiet, gentlemen, please. 496 00:20:00.740 --> 00:20:02.339 The ceremony is just ending. 497 00:20:02.500 --> 00:20:03.200 Just one question. 498 00:20:03.220 --> 00:20:05.180 Can you tell me the names of the couple who've 499 00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:05.920 just been married? 500 00:20:05.940 --> 00:20:08.869 Miss Mary Victor from the inn and a young American 501 00:20:09.160 --> 00:20:10.400 by the name of Bunker. 502 00:20:10.569 --> 00:20:13.509 Thank you. 503 00:20:13.630 --> 00:20:16.490 Yes, we have been following a false trail, confound it. 504 00:20:16.509 --> 00:20:17.670 The frightened young lady. 505 00:20:17.529 --> 00:20:19.869 Was merely frightened by her persistent American fiancé. 506 00:20:20.250 --> 00:20:21.480 Threatening letter that he sent her. 507 00:20:21.849 --> 00:20:25.190 Ambiguously worded. When you come to think of it, Anyway, 508 00:20:25.750 --> 00:20:27.690 we can cease to worry about Miss Victor. She is 509 00:20:27.730 --> 00:20:29.650 now Mrs. Bunker. I think we can assume that she's 510 00:20:29.690 --> 00:20:30.349 out of all danger. 511 00:20:30.630 --> 00:20:31.950 We've got to start all over again. 512 00:20:31.970 --> 00:20:34.029 Oh, no, no, my dear fellow. The field is narrowing. 513 00:20:34.690 --> 00:20:36.480 We'll head back for the inn now, and I have 514 00:20:36.539 --> 00:20:38.740 a feeling that we're on the last lap of our 515 00:20:38.819 --> 00:20:39.579 strange adventure. 516 00:20:53.450 --> 00:20:55.230 Yes, here's another suspect eliminated. 517 00:20:55.990 --> 00:20:57.890 This telegram is from my brother, Mycroft. 518 00:20:58.009 --> 00:21:00.230 I telegraphed him earlier on today to check. 519 00:21:00.049 --> 00:21:02.609 On the movements of Basil Carter, the young man who 520 00:21:02.650 --> 00:21:04.529 left the inn so mysteriously in the early hours of 521 00:21:04.569 --> 00:21:07.569 this morning. His answer informs me that the gentleman in 522 00:21:07.609 --> 00:21:10.490 question was recalled to the Foreign Office suddenly and arrived 523 00:21:10.529 --> 00:21:11.289 quite safely. 524 00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:11.619 A few hours ago. 525 00:21:11.690 --> 00:21:13.190 Well, now I'm completely puzzled. 526 00:21:13.240 --> 00:21:14.980 And I, old fellow, at last see daylight. 527 00:21:15.019 --> 00:21:15.980 Wish I did, Mr. 528 00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:16.160 Owen. 529 00:21:16.180 --> 00:21:17.960 Sergeant, go upstairs and get the dead man's widow and 530 00:21:17.980 --> 00:21:19.539 bring her to my room, please. Then I think I 531 00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:21.200 can give you the solution to this problem. 532 00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:34.569 What do you want with me, Mr. Holmes? Sit down, madam. 533 00:21:35.509 --> 00:21:39.410 You and Sergeant Blake make yourselves comfortable. Now, in the 534 00:21:39.450 --> 00:21:41.329 first place, the murder occurred this morning and. 535 00:21:41.289 --> 00:21:41.910 Not last night. 536 00:21:42.119 --> 00:21:43.140 I know what you're hinting at. 537 00:21:43.680 --> 00:21:44.359 The

canaries. 538 00:21:44.779 --> 00:21:45.799 I admit I killed them. 539 00:21:46.059 --> 00:21:47.440 But you can't do anything to me for that. 540 00:21:48.380 --> 00:21:49.339 Why did you kill those birds? 541 00:21:49.900 --> 00:21:52.509 I hated them as much as my husband loved them. 542 00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:55.819 When I knew he was dead, their singing drove me mad. 543 00:21:56.440 --> 00:21:57.240 So I killed them. 544 00:21:57.259 --> 00:21:59.940 But they must have been already dead when we told 545 00:21:59.960 --> 00:22:01.160 you of your husband's suicide. 546 00:22:01.180 --> 00:22:03.750 So, Watson, that the lady was fully aware that her 547 00:22:03.789 --> 00:22:04.630 husband was dead. 548 00:22:05.029 --> 00:22:08.130 When we informed her of the fact, you see... She 549 00:22:08.210 --> 00:22:08.589 murdered him. 550 00:22:08.690 --> 00:22:09.829 You're talking rubbish. 551 00:22:09.869 --> 00:22:10.380 Yes, Mr. 552 00:22:10.410 --> 00:22:10.690 Holmes. 553 00:22:10.950 --> 00:22:13.099 How could she have murdered him? We saw him shoot 554 00:22:13.140 --> 00:22:14.359 himself before our eyes. 555 00:22:14.380 --> 00:22:16.660 Because when Wilson raised that revolver to his head, he 556 00:22:16.680 --> 00:22:19.759 was convinced that it contained blank cartridges. Unfortunately for him, 557 00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:23.500 his wife had deliberately replaced the blanks with live cartridges. 558 00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:24.809 Good great heavens. Why? 559 00:22:25.069 --> 00:22:27.730 How? Let me reconstruct the case for you. Wilson, with 560 00:22:27.750 --> 00:22:30.430 the connivance of his wife here, had contrived a disappearance plot. 561 00:22:31.150 --> 00:22:33.509 He knew that I had spotted his real identity, and 562 00:22:33.549 --> 00:22:36.559 so he planned this rather dramatic exit... confessed to a 563 00:22:36.599 --> 00:22:40.460 non-existent murder, and then, well, had his plan materialized, he 564 00:22:40.500 --> 00:22:42.240 was to shoot himself with a blank. 565 00:22:42.859 --> 00:22:46.380 All from the peer, an apparent suicide. What a fantastic scheme, 566 00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:48.109 but how did he plan to get away? 567 00:22:48.130 --> 00:22:50.829 Well, he would have swum under the water, safe distance, 568 00:22:50.910 --> 00:22:51.769 and so made his escape. 569 00:22:51.890 --> 00:22:54.190 Oh, his plan couldn't have worked possibly. Oh, probably not, 570 00:22:54.210 --> 00:22:56.109 probably not. But at least it was ingenious. 571 00:22:56.750 --> 00:22:59.319 He would have destroyed his true identity. and had his 572 00:22:59.400 --> 00:23:02.039 revenge on me by making me search for a murder 573 00:23:02.099 --> 00:23:04.789 that had never been committed. Unfortunately for him, his wife 574 00:23:05.210 --> 00:23:07.670 was his accomplice, and saw in the scheme an excellent 575 00:23:07.710 --> 00:23:09.109 way of killing her husband. 576 00:23:09.349 --> 00:23:11.930 You think yourself very clever,

Mr. Holmes, but even if 577 00:23:11.970 --> 00:23:13.930 it were true, how could you prove it? 578 00:23:14.170 --> 00:23:15.670 Observe this revolver, Mrs. 579 00:23:15.710 --> 00:23:16.069 Wilson. 580 00:23:16.269 --> 00:23:17.799 It's the one your husband shot himself with. 581 00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:22.539 What can you prove from that? Ever hear of fingerprint tests? 582 00:23:22.980 --> 00:23:23.799 I've heard of them. 583 00:23:24.920 --> 00:23:26.319 But that revolver's been underwater. 584 00:23:26.339 --> 00:23:27.140 True, quite true. 585 00:23:27.339 --> 00:23:30.079 But thanks to the researches of my excellent friend, Dr. 586 00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:32.380 John Thorndike, an infallible. 587 00:23:32.019 --> 00:23:35.619 Test has been discovered for recording fingerprints even after immersion 588 00:23:35.660 --> 00:23:36.480 in seawater. 589 00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:38.240 I applied the test. 590 00:23:37.980 --> 00:23:40.769 To the prints on the revolver and the bullets and 591 00:23:40.809 --> 00:23:42.589 compared them with some that we found. 592 00:23:42.630 --> 00:23:45.609 On the water glass in your room.
