00:00You
00:30Holmes, they're here.
01:10Even brief, Mr. Holmes.
01:12A document has been stolen from my private dispatch box.
01:15When I discovered my loss, which was at 8 o'clock this morning,
01:18I at once informed the Prime Minister.
01:20It was at his suggestion that we both come to you.
01:24You have informed the police?
01:26No, sir, we have not done so, nor is it possible that we should do so.
01:30To inform the police must, in the long run, mean to inform the public.
01:34And that is what we particularly desire to avoid.
01:37And why, sir?
01:39Because the document in question is of such immense importance
01:43that its publication might very easily, I might almost say probably,
01:47lead to European complications of the utmost moment.
01:51Unless its recovery is attended by the utmost secrecy,
01:55then it may as well not be recovered at all.
01:57For all that is aimed at by those who have taken it
02:00is that its contents should be generally known.
02:06I understand.
02:09Watson, do sit down.
02:12Now, Mr Trelawney Hope, I would be much obliged if you would tell me the exact circumstances
02:23under which this document disappeared.
02:26As Secretary of State for European Affairs, I received the letter six days ago.
02:30It was a letter from a foreign potentate, you understand.
02:33It was of such importance that I never left it in my safe,
02:36but I have taken it each evening from my office back to my house in Whitehall Terrace
02:40and kept it in my bedroom, locked in my dispatch box.
02:43And you are sure that it was there last night?
02:45Yes, I'm quite certain of that fact.
02:46I actually opened the dispatch box whilst I was dressing for dinner,
02:49and I saw the letter inside.
02:51It then remained upon my bedside table.
02:53Both my wife and I are light sleepers and are prepared to swear
02:56that no one could have entered the room during the night,
02:58and yet this morning the paper is gone.
03:03What time did you die?
03:067.30.
03:08How long was it before you went to bed?
03:10My wife had gone to the theatre. I had waited up for her.
03:13It was 11.30 before we went to our room.
03:16So, for four hours, the dispatch box had lain unguarded.
03:21Mr Holmes, no one is ever permitted to enter that room,
03:23save the housemaid in the morning and my valet during the rest of the night.
03:25They are both trusty servants who have been with us for many years.
03:30Besides, neither of them could have possibly known
03:33that there was anything more valuable
03:34than the ordinary departmental papers in my box.
03:37Surely your wife knew?
03:39Mr Holmes, I've long known how high is Mr Hope's sense of public duty.
03:44I'm convinced that in a case of this importance
03:46it would rise superior to the most intimate domestic ties.
03:50You do me no more than justice, Prime Minister.
03:53Until this morning, I have never breathed one word to my wife upon this matter.
03:58Well, who is that in England who did know the existence of this letter?
04:02Each member of the Cabinet was informed of it yesterday,
04:04but the pledge of secrecy which attends every Cabinet meeting
04:07was increased by the solemn warning given by the Prime Minister.
04:10My God!
04:13To think that within a few hours I myself should have lost it.
04:21Besides the members of the Cabinet, there are two, possibly three,
04:25departmental officials who know of the letter.
04:27No one else in England, I assure you.
04:29But abroad?
04:30I believe that no one abroad has seen the letter except the man who wrote it.
04:34I am well convinced that his ministers,
04:36that the usual official channels have not been employed in this case.
04:44Now, sir, I must ask you more particularly what this document is
04:47and why its disappearance should have such momentous consequences.
04:51Mr. Holmes, the envelope is a long, thin one of pale blue colour.
04:56There is a seal of red wax stamped with a crouching line.
05:00It is addressed in large, bold handwriting.
05:03Interesting and indeed essential as these details are.
05:06My inquiries must go more to the root of things.
05:11What was the letter?
05:12It is a state secret of the utmost importance which we cannot tell you,
05:16nor do I see that it is necessary.
05:19If by the powers which you are set to possess
05:21you can find such an envelope as I have described with its enclosure,
05:25then you will have deserved will of your country
05:27and earned any reward which it is within our power to bestow.
05:36Gentlemen,
05:37you are two of the most busy men in the country,
05:42and in my own small way I have a good many calls upon me.
05:49I regret exceedingly that I am unable to help you in this matter,
05:53and any continuation of this interview would be a waste of time.
06:00I am not accustomed, sir, to such.
06:07Mr. Holmes,
06:20we must accept your terms.
06:23No doubt you are right,
06:24and it is unreasonable for us to expect you to act
06:27unless you have our full confidence.
06:30I agree with you, Prime Minister.
06:32Then I will tell you.
06:34Relying entirely upon your honor
06:36and that of your colleague, Dr. Watson,
06:39I must appeal to your patriotism also,
06:42for I cannot imagine a greater misfortune for this country
06:46than that this affair should come out.
06:49You will safely trust us.
07:03The letter, then, is from a certain foreign potentate
07:08who has been ruffled by some recent colonial developments of this country.
07:13It is written hurriedly and upon his own responsibility entirely.
07:17At the same time, it is couched in so unfortunate a manner
07:21that his publication would undoubtedly lead to the most dangerous feeling in this country.
07:25there would be such firm answer
07:28that I do not hesitate to say that within a week of the publication of this letter
07:33this country would be involved in a great war.
07:37And it is this letter which may well mean the expenditure of a thousand million pounds
07:44and the lives of a hundred thousand men.
07:47Have you informed the sender?
07:57A cipher telegraph has been dispatched.
08:02Perhaps he desires the publication of the letter?
08:04No, Doctor, we have strong reason to believe that he already understands that he has acted in an indiscreet and hot-headed manner.
08:12It would be a far greater blow to him and his country than to us if this letter were to come out.
08:17This is so. In whose interest is it that the letter should come out?
08:21Why should anyone desire to steal it and to publish it?
08:24There, Doctor Watson, you take me into the realms of high international politics.
08:29But if you consider the European situation, you will have no difficulty in perceiving the motive.
08:36The whole of Europe is an armed camp. Great Britain holds the scales.
08:41If Britain were driven into war with one Confederacy, it would assure the supremacy of the other.
08:48Whether they were joined in the war or not.
08:51So it is the enemies of this potentate who want to secure and publish this letter
08:55so as to make a breach between his country and ours?
08:59Yes, sir.
09:00And to whom would the document be sent if it fell into the wrong hands?
09:04To any of the great chancellors of Europe.
09:06It is probably speeding its way thither at this present instant as fast as steam can take it.
09:12It is your misfortune, my dear fellow. No one can blame you.
09:16There is no precaution which you have neglected.
09:19But now, Mr. Holmes, you are in full possession of the facts.
09:26What costs do you recommend?
09:30You think that if this document is not recovered, there will be war?
09:36I think it is very probable.
09:40Then, sir, prepare for war.
09:42That is a hard saying, Mr. Holmes.
09:45Consider the facts.
09:46There seems no doubt this document was taken between half past seven and half past eleven yesterday evening.
09:53So where can it be now?
09:56No one has any reason to retain it.
09:58It has been passed from hand to hand rapidly.
10:02To those who need it and who will pay well for it.
10:06What chance do we have to overtake it or even trace it?
10:09It is beyond our reach.
10:17What you say is perfectly logical, Mr. Holmes.
10:20I feel that the matter is indeed out of our hands.
10:23Meanwhile, hope.
10:25We cannot ignore all our other duties on account of this one misfortune.
10:35Then, should there be any fresh developments during the day, we will communicate with you.
10:40And you, no doubt, will let us know the results of your own inquiries.

11:33The situation is desperate,
11:37but not hopeless.
11:40There are only three men capable of playing so well the game,
11:44Stein Lerothier and Eduardo Lucas.
11:46Even now, if we could be sure which one of them has taken it,
11:50it is just possible that it does not pass out of their hands.
11:54It's a question of money.
12:14If the a teacher is not Torah,
12:17the one on the other one is essentially a personal downer,
12:19a personal downer,
12:21one on the other one.
12:23I'm gonna use the house to the other two.
12:24But we're not going to be able to foster someone.
12:27The house is also going to be able to let it out of their hands.
12:30The house is so simple here,
12:32because it's not a big deal,
12:35it's not like the house in the house.
