Speaker 2 (01:39):
But I got quite a shock when I bumped into
a man in Offston Street and found it was his

mister Microft's homes. And this, of course your doctor Watts
Death's right?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Hey, good while since he left to me though, have
you kept up your own interest in crimes since Sherlock's death? Well,
in a way, you know, usually read up the latest
case and try to work it out, as homes might
have done.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
That's my own amusements.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Not quite quite now, what do you say about this?
And dare business Sherlock would have loved this one, Honorable
Rubald Adare, second son of the Earl of Mainnoose. You know,
Cloud shot in his room late last night. The mother
and sister were out, came home, couldn't get a reply
at his door. No, his life was on it, got it,
(02:41):
burst in and found him there, a bullet through the head,
No weapon to doom, just a few gold and silver
coins stacked on the table, with a list of some
of the chefs he plays card with regularly at his club.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
I say.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
None of it, little doubt about it. No clues though
by all accounts. The door of his room locked on
the inside, no signs of a forest entree, and the
rooms on the second floor overlooking park Lane no possible way.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Of climbing up or down to it, or to putting
its carefully.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
The police say, oh, well, ah, but was any of
the windows open? There couldn't shot have been far from
across the street. He was shut with a soft nosed
revolver bullet rules that out. And no man in this
world could get someone plumbing ahead with a revolve on
the other side of park Lane and the night precisely,
(03:41):
and there are no reports of anyone hearing the shot. Well,
so some business with the Hens, You're quite right, No
bother Sherlock would have.
Speaker 1 (03:51):

stir around my park Lane on my way home living
in Kenson, enough.

Well, I have a conscious set, and when I chanced
to see you.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Go into this house.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
As I came hobbling after you, I thought to myself,
I just step in and see that kind gentlemen, and
tell him that if I was a bit grasping my manner,
there was not any harm, and that I'm much obliged
to him for picking up my books.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Well, the tall films, it's.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
A no, dame. Oh, they don't mention it. Set my
little bookshops just around the corner from you, a corner
of church. Seek you know, I see. Maybe you collect yourself, sir, No, no,

it used to work for all your patients. So it
should work for you. I can't believe it, my dear,
what's my Oh you are thousand of polar No, no, no, no.
(08:01):
It was inexcusable of me to drop my disguise as
dramatically that I had no idea that you'd be so affected.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
I should have prepared you ill your You're alive. I
didn't understand. You went over the writing back fools.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
You and Mariarty, MARIAARTI went over the falls. I remained alive.
It was three years ago, three long years, Watson. But
usually as I stood on the brink trying to get
my breath back, it came to me in the flesh
what I must do. I knew that Mariarti wasn't the
only man who was formed.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
To have my life.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
There were at least three others. One of them would
almost certainly get me off my guard someday. But if
the world was convinced that I was dead, they would
dropped their god, and sooner or later I could destroy them.
See my brother Mike thought was my only confidante from
then on.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Oh but surely you well, I owe you another apology, Watson.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
But you understand I had to stay hidden as it
were until my would be assassins were accounted for.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
An army all but one, and he knows.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
I didn't die with Mariati said, there's no point in
pretending further.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
You mean he's recognized you since said that's it. Well,
it's a remarkable business. It's remarkable and this is about
the happiest day of my life. Thank you, Watson. Tell
you where have you been all this time? Oh? I
haven't denied all.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
I was unable to come back to London that I'm
too well known. But I traveled for two years in Tibet,
looked in at Mecca, and paid an interesting visit to
the Califfer Cartoon. Then I returned to France. There I
learned that there.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Was only one of minehemies left in London.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
I came over here at once, fant that Mycroft had
had two to one. Be Batasya kept just as I
had left it as Missus Hudson had hysterics when she
saw me by the rest and I was going to
look you up as quickly as possible when just partly
in business interview.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Yeah, noll murder, But what's that got to do with you?
What they'd got to do with you? Watson.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
You were conspicuously prominent in that little crowd opposit the
house this morning.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Well selling truth. I often like to try to puzzle
these cases for myself.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
I wonder what you would have done about broke back
the good old days.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
To me, Well, the good old days are back now.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
I came here to ask for your cooperation. Cool like
a short homes, but I warn you we had dangerous
work ahead of us tonight. Oh what about we need
a bite of dinner here to see being by your
leave of course, I don't worry about that. They don't
Maybe take a cab to somewhere about cabin Is Square.
We'll go from there on foot. That are penty of
small lanes and news. I'm not ready to be generally
(10:35):
recognized yet since this disguise, which I think how dispensed
it now, well, we'll be walking through to Baker Street
two to one bee hornets, but not quite the house
opposite opposite.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Camden House met that's it.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Well, I don't know what you have in mine, but
Camden House has been empty for ages past.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
There again on the other day, exactly what are we
going to do there?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
If I'm not mistaken, we shall be meeting someone Ooo
a colonel Morne mean anity to you? No, I got him?
Not so ascute after all? Cana husu here yes, uh
here we.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Are last year, that is who will do capital? Now?
Then let's see a L L M M involvement.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Ah morene Sebastians listen to this button Morene Sebastian colonel
unemployed formerly first danglore Paneers born under eighteen forty, son
of Sir Augustus morn c b. Once British Minited Prussia educated,
eating and Oxford serves in Choakee campaign Astan campaign mentioned
(11:50):
in dispatches.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Chapur and Sabor. Does I met up with him in
your serd Iston.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
No, well, it goes on all the hiddy game of
the Western Himalayas eighteen eighty one, three months in the
Jungle eighteen eighty four, addressed Kundit Street clubs Anglo Indian
Tankerville's Degatl card Club. Pretty impressive, yes, the twenty dozen
says THO. But else that he's the most dangerous man
(12:18):
in London.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
S So he's moved up the scale in recent years.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
While Mariati was alive, Moranze was only the second most dangerous.
He was Mariati's chiefest staff. Well see, oh, the men
did honorably enough in his day. But whatever the cause,
Colonel Morne began to go wrong without any public scandal.
He made him get too hot to hold him. He
retired to London, and Mariati pretty soon thought him out. Ah,
(12:45):
Mariati kept him liberally, supplied his money, and used him
only in one or two very high class jobs beyond.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
The scope of the ordinary criminal. So well, how the
words fit in with tonight you will.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
See there it be sufficient to say that colonel and
there's the one man, Remaning, who'd like to assassinate me
the moment he gets his opportunity. For my part, I'd
been waiting these three years for an opportunity of laying
him by the heels.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
But what could I do? I couldn't shoot him on sight.
Couldn't you pull it in the hand of the bullie?
Not useless, not a shred of evidence?
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Again to no, wasn't I knew there was nothing I
could do until there was well until the night.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Of you like looking at an empty house, looking from.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
An empty house, watson't in the direction of our former
humble a bird. And now I'm thankful to say mine
again to to one b Baker Street. I didn't think
(13:52):
matter his place, Biller from outside neglected.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
As he and all the better for that. So we
we have a light term. Better not.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
We don't want to attract the attention of the first
constable coming around. Besides, our friend the Colonel might not
like it, but I'm sorry medium her idea you want say,
I mean tell you you you say the stick a
knocking way, say it with a meeting somebody opened entry.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Oh forgive me if I haven't led you. We have
no appointment to meet the colonel here.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
In fact, he ain't even come that A lot of
tensity will begin to Heaven's say, you don't mind telling
me what they're doing in this mustiest of commands, so
excellent a view of that picturesque pile number two two
one D.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Now, might I tell you my idea?
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Want them to draw a little closer to this selfy
window to cavil.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I'm sure if anyone used to do this now, rather
little pet care and no one knows this. And then
tell me whether my years of accidents have taken away
my fire to surprise you quiet Heaven's homes. Yes, but
you stillouette up there in the window two to one bee,
(15:06):
Are you recognize it wavelessly? If you weren't here with me?
I swear, will you used to be up there?
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Against the life age cannot with a name nor customs
tale my infinite variety now I must say, really is
for the life business. Well, the credit for Lungston, monsieur Askamnievsnov.
It's a busting west. It is several days to mod.
I arranged the rest during my visit to two.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
To one be this morning, and I'll perhaps you remember
what it's for, said Paul.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
I have the strongest possible reason for wishing certain people
to think I'm idling indoors when I'm really elsewhere. Who
Colonel Morat and others members of that charming society whose
former leader lies.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
At the foot of the Russian dot falls, they would
know from Miran that I was still alive. Sooner or
later they believed I must come back to my room.
They watched continuously, and this morning they's only arrived. I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
I recognize that sinst He's a homeless enough fellow passer
by name, but I knew he would pass the word
unsicky enough to be leader. Weren't you in disguise when
you were the parker you was? I could tell he
knew me.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
But only it's in a way if I indeed, but
surely if I need to keep their eyes on it
for long enough, see if it never moves. Have you
been keeping your eyes on the corson? Oh?
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yes, yes, if I have, then pray do so for
a little longer. And I really don't see the point
quite sudden. Yes, you moved just fair.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Enough, Cosset moved, Watson.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Am I such a passical bungler that I should erect
an object dummy and expect some of the sharpest.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Men in Europe to be taken in by quick quacking.
He's coming quick, kicking quantity away from the window at
into this corner. All this is I won't see us yet.

to see you back in London.

Thanks you. Let's say I fortunately did a little help here.
Three untold murders in one year, won't do your love?
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Oh you didn't do so bad with the nose in
this way, I grant you. You handled it was less
than your usual. That's to say you've handled it fairly well. Yes,
our friend in talkative mood. Well, Colonel Journey's end in lovers.
Speaker 1 (18:52):

surprised that my very simple statagem to deceive the oldest Ricardi.

laying about it to ther rifle and waited for the
bait to bring the tiger to you?
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Well, then this empty house is my tree, and you
are my poor god. You see, the parallel is exactly
you inspector.
Speaker 6 (19:24):
Whatevery while you may or may not have cause for
arresting me, but the piece is no reason why I
should be exposed to the giants of this this person,
and in the hands offlaw it things be done in
a reasonable way.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Oh that's fair enough, I suppose the terms. Is there
anything more you want to say?
Speaker 2 (19:41):

Speaker 1 (19:41):
Before we've taken along only to have for charge you
intend to prefer? What charge? Sir? Well, the attempted murder
of mister Sherlock Holmes.

air gun. But you've never seen one like it before?
A rag. Oh, I've known of its existence, but years

Speaker 2 (22:17):
The man who made it, a German named Ron Had
He was blind, by the way, hard to believe, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Shoot an air gun? The far revolvable. It's a tremendous
it powerful, virgin is silent.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Put a thing like that into the hands of a
man who caldn't shoot like Noran, and you see the result.
Two murders were two bullets, or it would have been
if this black stunny had been a tumor the idea.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
One as well. Yes, a softnesse revolva bullet.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
The papers said, no reports of the shop being heard,
no possibility of anyone having shot so accurate, sid.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Himself far away with a revolver. As soon as I
heard the news, I knew my chance had come.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
All these years I waited for Loran to do something
that would furnish proof for the police and put him
out of the way for good.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Yes, was it then? This business is evening? Was the jet?
But for my return?
Speaker 2 (23:03):

deal with me while he was a body. Oh I

been to a card party? Had he not near his body?
But found several piles of gold coins and a list
of names with a month slipping again for years you
recall those names?

Speaker 2 (24:06):
Yes, Adair had been playing cards for Miranne and those
others when he was shot. He was working out he's
winning always lot then what ah ah? Here we enter
the realms of conjecture. Maranne has always been a notable
cheat of the cards. The hex adare court Maranne cheating
and secondly exploded. Such a scandal would mean Moran's exclusion
(24:27):
from the clubs on the ruin, and then he would
the students not to mention he's ill got an income?
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Yeah, I think that'll do. Will you accept it? I
had no doubt you're as right as you all as well.
Speaker 2 (24:41):

again mister Charlotte Holmes is free to diversity.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
His last street is everything, those interesting.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Little problems which the complexity of human life, though primplet
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Exactly the two bo
