00:30Oh, my God.
01:00Evening, Mr. West.
01:12Third class London Brick.
01:12Single or return?
01:13Oh, it doesn't matter. Single.
01:20Quickly.
01:22Quickly.
01:30Quickly.
02:00Quickly.
02:11He's dead.
02:14Must have fallen from the train.
02:16Yeah, look at his head.
02:18You need back to the station. Tell them what happened.
02:21I'll stay here.
02:30I'll stay here.
03:00I'll stay here.
03:30I'll stay here.
03:40It's a real pea-super.
03:42Nothing in the paper, Watson?
03:48No, there's another revolution in South America, a possible war in Africa. Nothing of interest to you.
03:53The London criminal is certainly a dull fellow. The thief or the murderer could roam London on a day like this, as the tiger does the jungle, unseen until he pounces, and then evident only to his victim.
04:10There are numerous petty thefts, but this great and somber stage is set for something more worthy than that.
04:18It is fortunate for the community.
04:20It is fortunate for the community that I am not a criminal.
04:24It is indeed.
04:26It is.
04:27It is.
04:28It is.
04:29It is.
04:30It is.
04:31For you, Mr. Holmes.
04:34Mr. Holmes.
04:35Yes, I know.
04:36I apologize for the state of my room.
04:38Oh, my text.
04:41My brother, Mycroft, is coming around.
04:43Oh, why not?
04:44Why not?
04:45It is as if you met a tram car coming down a country lane.
04:50Mycroft has his lines and he runs on them.
04:53Pall Mall lodgings, the Diogenes Club, Whitehall, that's his cycle once. Only once has he ever been here.
04:58I mean, what upheaval can possibly have derailed him?
05:01I must see you over Cadogan West coming at once. Cadogan West? I've heard the name.
05:10It would cause nothing to my mind.
05:12Mycroft breaking out in this erratic fashion. It's extraordinary.
05:16Watson, you do know what Mycroft is.
05:20I seem to remember at the time of that affair, the Greek interpreter, you told me that he had some small office under the British government.
05:26I did quite say well in those days.
05:29His position is unique.
05:31He's made it for himself.
05:33There's never been anything like it before, nor will be again.
05:35He has the tidiest and most orderly brain, but the greatest capacity for storing facts of any man living.
05:43The conclusions of every government department are passed to him.
05:46He is the central exchange which makes out the balance.
05:51All other men are specialists.
05:53His specialism is omniscience.
05:58Time and time again, Mycroft's word has decided national policy.
06:03Then Jupiter himself is descending upon us today.
06:07Yes, indeed. No trace of Cadogan West.
06:11Cadogan West.
06:13I have it.
06:15Yes, Cadogan West.
06:17Cadogan West was the young man who was found dead on the underground.
06:22On Tuesday morning.
06:24Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
06:25It was a featureless case, as I remember.
06:27A young man killed falling from a moving train.
06:29No robbery, no violence.
06:31Watson.
06:32Brother Mycroft.
06:34Oh.
06:37That looks like our old friend Inspector Bradstreet.
06:40Why should he bring a policeman with him?
06:43Oh.
06:44Ah.
06:45Here we are.
06:46Hmm?
06:47Cadogan West.
06:48Clerk at the Woolwich Arsenal.
06:51Twenty-seven unmarried.
06:52Government employee, but hold the link with my brother Mycroft.
06:56Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
06:58Sherlock?
06:59Mycroft.
07:00Ah.
07:01Doctor.
07:02Uh-oh.
07:03Watson.
07:04Watson.
07:05You know Bradstreet.
07:06No, Mr. Watson.
07:08Cadogan West.
07:09The most annoying business, Sherlock.
07:13I extremely dislike altering my habits, but the powers that be would brook no denial.
07:19In the present state of Siam, it's most awkward I should be away from the office.
07:24But it is a real crisis, Sherlock.
07:27I've never seen the Prime Minister so upset.
07:30And as to the Admiralty, buzzing like an overturned beehive.
07:36Do sit down, Bradstreet.
07:39There's nothing unusual reported in the newspapers.
07:43I should hope not.
07:46The wretched youth had the plans of the Bruce Partington submarine in his pocket.
07:57Well, you must have heard of it.
07:59Only by name.
08:00Its importance can hardly be exaggerated.
08:04It has been the most closely guarded of all government secrets.
08:09You may take it from me that naval warfare becomes impossible
08:13within the radius of a Bruce Partington operation.
08:18Yep.
08:20What sort of plans are we talking about?
08:22Extremely intricate ones, Sherlock.
08:25Some thirty different patents.
08:27Each one essential to the working of the home.
08:29Where are the plans normally kept?
08:32In an elaborate safe in a confidential office adjoining the arsenal at Woolwich
08:36with burglar-proof doors and windows.
08:40If the chief constructor of the Navy himself desired to consult the plans,
08:44he would have to go to Woolwich to do so.
08:48To think they should turn up in the pocket of a dead junior clerk in the heart of London is simply awful.
08:54Then you recovered the papers?
08:56No, Sherlock, no. That's the pinch. We have not.
09:00Some ten papers were taken from Woolwich.
09:04Only seven were found in the pocket of Gaduggan West.
09:08The other three are missing, gone, vanished, stolen.
09:12You must drop everything, Sherlock.
09:14Never mind your usual petty puzzles of the police courts.
09:19This is a real international crisis that you have to solve.
09:26There are some points of interest in the case, I suppose.
09:32I'll be pleased to look into it.
09:35Bradstreet, now.
09:37Who held the keys to that safe?
09:40There are two sets of keys.
09:42Sir James Walter holds one set.
09:44He is the actual official guardian of the papers.
09:47A man grown grey in the service of the state.
09:50A favoured guest and the most exalted houses.
09:53His patriotism is above suspicion.
09:56And the other keys?
09:57A Mr. Sidney Johnson, a senior clerk and draftsman.
10:00A silent, morose man. Not popular, but a hard worker.
10:03His wife corroborates his account of the matter.
10:05He was at home the whole of Monday night,
10:07and the keys never left the watch chain upon which they hang.
10:09What sort of fellow was this man, West?
10:12Hot-headed, rather impetuous.
10:15His duties brought him into daily contact with the plans.
10:19Who locked them up that night?
10:20Johnson, the senior clerk.
10:21And yet they were found on the person of the junior clerk.
10:23Well, I mean, that seems final, does it not?
10:25Yes, but why would he take them?
10:27If you think of any reason why,
10:29he should take them up to London except to sell them.
10:31Nope.
10:32You must take that as our working hypothesis.
10:36West could only have done this
10:40with false keys.
10:41He opens the safe, takes out some papers,
10:43goes up to London to see a foreign agent.
10:46He has to have them back before morning
10:48or the loss will be discovered.
10:51He took away ten, seven to win in his pocket.
10:54What became of the other three?
10:56He certainly wouldn't leave them of his own free will.
10:58It all seems perfectly clear to me.
11:01As you say, Mr. Holmes,
11:03West stole the plans in order to sell them.
11:06He met the agent,
11:08but they could not agree as to a price.
11:10So West returned home again,
11:12but the agent followed him.
11:13In the train, the agent murdered him,
11:16took the more essential papers
11:18and threw the body from the railway carriage.
11:22Now, that would explain everything, would it not?
11:24It's good.
11:26It's very good, Bradstreet.
11:28The theory holds together.
11:30But if that is so, the case is at an end.
11:32On the one hand, the traitor is dead.
11:33On the other,
11:34the plans of the Bruce Partington submarine
11:36are presumably somewhat on the continent.
11:37I mean, what is there for me to do?
11:39To act, Sherlock.
11:41To act.
11:43All my instincts are against this explanation.
11:48And yours too, I think.
11:50We are not brothers for nothing.
11:52Use your powers.
11:54Go to the scene.
11:55Question the people concerned.
11:57Leave no stone unturned.
11:59In all your career,
12:00you'll never have a greater chance of serving your country.
12:04If you, on your part,
12:06will be kind enough to send me a complete list
12:08of foreign spies and international agents
12:10known to be in England
12:11and their full address.
12:13Either we, on our part,
12:15can begin our investigation by a visit
12:17to Allgate Station, Bradstreet.
12:19Watson!
12:20Mrs Hudson!
12:22We're leaving!
12:39When was the body found?
12:41Near enough to six o'clock, sir.
12:42Tuesday morning.
12:43He must have fallen from a train sometime Monday night.
12:46Have the carriage been examined
12:47of any signs of violence?
12:49No such trait of violence has been found.
12:51A report of a door found door.
12:53No, sir.
12:55We can tell the approximate time
12:57that he entered the train from his ticket.
12:59There was no ticket on the body.
13:01That is really very singular.
13:05In my experience,
13:07it is not possible
13:08to reach the platform of the Metropolitan Line
13:10without exhibiting one's ticket.
13:12Is that not so?
13:13Quite correct, sir.
13:14Surely the murderer would have removed
13:16the ticket before
13:18throwing West from the train
13:19so as not to reveal
13:20the name of the station
13:21nearest his place of residence.
13:23I think the doctor has it.
13:24What else did he have in his possession
13:26besides the fatal papers
13:27and no ticket?
13:28Usual things.
13:30Pocket book.
13:31No case checkbook.
13:32Oh, and, uh,
13:34two tickets for the dress circle
13:36of the Woolwich Theatre
13:37for that very evening.
13:39It appears that West was to have attended
13:42the performance
13:43in the company of his fiancée,
13:45Miss Violet Westbury.
13:47Hmm.
13:48She was the last person to see him alive
13:49on the fatal night.
13:51They were walking to the theatre together
13:53in the fog
13:54when he suddenly left her.
13:56Suddenly?
13:57Without explanation?
13:58No.
14:01There appears to be no bleeding on the line.
14:03There was hardly any trace of blood to be found.
14:05As I gather, there was a considerable wound
14:07consisting of the man falling for a moving track.
14:09Well, it was a terrible thing to see, sir.
14:11The head was knocked right in
14:12and the bone crushing.
14:14And yet there was no great external injury.
14:16Everyone would expect some blood.
14:21The line runs
14:23north-east.
14:25Yes, the track divides here, sir.
14:27And there's a branch line
14:28that goes south under the river
14:29to rather higher than New Cross.
14:31The points.
14:32The points.
14:41The points.
14:43I suppose there are no great number
14:45of points in a system such as this.
14:47There are very few, sir.
14:50Points.
14:53And a girl.
14:55Oh, my dear.
14:56If it were only so.
14:59What is it?
15:03Do you have a clue?
15:04No, it's an idea, Bradstreet.
15:06An indication.
15:08But the case certainly grows in interest.
15:13It's unique.
15:15Perfect unique.
15:17And yet, why not?
15:18Why not?
15:30Cullen!
15:32There is material here, Watson.
15:33There is scope.
15:35I was dull indeed,
15:36not to see its possibilities.
15:37Now I confess it's dark to me.
15:39And to me also.
15:41But I now have hold of an idea
15:42which may lead us far.
15:43Now, I think Sir James,
15:44the guardian of the plans,
15:45claims our first attention.
15:47Plumstead Hall!
15:49Well, Holmes?
15:51Your idea?
15:52Oh, yes.
15:53The man West was killed not by falling or being thrown from a moving train.
16:04He met his death elsewhere.
16:07And his body was on the roof of the castle.
16:09The man West was killed not by falling or being thrown from a moving train.
16:14He met his death elsewhere.
16:15And his body was on the roof of the carriage.
16:16On the roof?
16:17Well, consider the facts.
16:18Is it a coincidence that the body was found in the very place where the train breaks and sways as it comes round on the points?
16:34The sudden slowing would affect no object inside the carriage, but an object such as a body on the roof.
16:39And there's a question of the man.
16:44Of course, there was no bleeding on the line if the body bled elsewhere.
16:48Each fact is suggestive in itself. Together they have a cumulative force.
16:52Yes, and the ticket too.
16:54That would explain the absence of the ticket. Watson, it all fits together.
17:06Please wait.
17:07Come in, please, gentlemen. We were expecting you.
17:33That's very pleased, gentlemen.
17:37Ah, gentlemen.
17:42Thank you, Baines.
17:44Thank you, sir.
17:46If you'll follow me, the body is upstairs.
17:49Wait! One moment.
17:52Are you not the undertakers?
17:56Excuse me, Sir James.
17:58I am Dr. Watson, and this is Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
18:01Good heavens.
18:02We are helping the authorities in the case of the missing papers.
18:10My brother, Sir James Walter, died this morning.
18:14I am Colonel Valentine Walter.
18:16Please, gentlemen.
18:17Come here.
18:19Please, gentlemen.
18:20Come here.
18:21We are very sorry, sir.
18:23I am afraid it has been a great shock.
18:26May I ask?
18:27How did your brother die?
18:28It was this horrible scandal.
18:29My brother is...
18:30My brother is...
18:31My brother was a man of very sensitive honor.
18:32He was fiercely proud of the efficiency of his department.
18:34The theft of the plans was a crushing blow.
18:35It was a crushing blow.
18:36My brother was a man of very sensitive honor.
18:37He was fiercely proud of the efficiency of his department.
18:39The theft of the plans was a crushing blow.
18:40It broke his heart.
18:41We were hoping Sir James might have been able to help.
18:42I assure you, sir.
18:43He was a man of very sensitive honor.
18:44He was fiercely proud of the efficiency of his department.
18:47The theft of the plans was a crushing blow.
18:50It broke his heart.
18:53We were hoping Sir James might have been able to help.
18:57I assure you, it was as much a mystery to him as it is to all of us.
19:13Naturally, he had no doubt that West was guilty.
19:17But why he should have done such a thing?
19:20Now, of course, we shall never know.
19:22So, you've been throwing a light on the matter?
19:28Me?
19:29I'm afraid I know nothing save what I've read or heard.
19:33And you never met Cadogan West?
19:35No.
19:36No, I have not been back in the country long.
19:39My brother's work was of a highly confidential nature.
19:42He did not discuss it with me.
19:47Gentlemen, I do not wish to seem discourteous,
19:49but we are much disturbed at present.
19:52I must ask you to hasten this interview to an end.
19:55Of course.
19:56We're so sorry to have caused you so much trouble.
19:58That's an unexpected development.
20:14Heart failure.
20:17Suicide.
20:19Now for Miss Westbury.
20:21Is that the dead man's fiancée?
20:23Yes.
20:24I cannot explain it, Mr. Holmes.
20:25I haven't closed my eyes since the tragedy.
20:27I cannot explain it, Mr. Holmes.
20:29I cannot explain it, Mr. Holmes.
20:30I haven't closed my eyes since the tragedy.
20:34Thinking and thinking and thinking.
20:35What the true meaning of it can be.
20:36Do sit down.
20:37I cannot explain it, Mr. Holmes.
20:38I haven't closed my eyes since the tragedy.
20:42Thinking and thinking and thinking.
20:45What the true meaning of it can be.
20:48Do sit down.
20:51Arthur was the most single-minded, chivalrous, patriotic man on earth.
21:06He would have cut off his right hand rather than sell a state secret confided to his keeping.
21:24It's absurd, impossible, preposterous to anyone who knew him.
21:29No.
21:30The facts, Miss Westbury.
21:32Was he in want of money?
21:34No.
21:35His needs were very simple.
21:38And his salary was sufficient.
21:40He'd saved a few hundreds.
21:42And we were to marry at the new year.
21:44Was there any sign of mental excitement?
21:48Come, Miss Westbury.
21:50Be absolutely frank with us.
21:52I had a feeling there was something on his mind.
21:59For long?
22:01Only the last week or two.
22:03Once I asked him about it.
22:05It is too serious to speak about even to you, he said.
22:09Go on, Miss Westbury.
22:11I mean, even if it seems to tell against him.
22:14We cannot say what it may lead us.
22:17He spoke one evening about a secret.
22:24I think he said that no doubt foreign spies would pay a great deal to have it.
22:29He said that we were slack about such matters and it would be easy for a traitor to get hold of the plans.
22:37Oh, Mr. Holmes, if you could only, only save his honour.
22:44It was so much to him.
22:50Well, I'll do what I can.
22:52Now, please tell us about that last evening.
22:58It was Monday night.
23:01And we were to go to the theatre.
23:14Violet, I'm afraid I've got to leave you.
23:19Leave me?
23:21It's very, very important.
23:23I'm sorry.
23:25You'd better go home.
23:27Go home immediately, please.
23:44Right.
23:45Well, I'm sorry.
23:47Well, I might go home then, but I'm not going to have to wait.
23:49I'm not going to have to go home.
23:50I'm going to have to go home, I'm going to have to go home.
23:52I'm not going to have to do here.
23:53Let's go.
24:23Mr. Holmes.
24:25And he disappeared without any explanation?
24:27Yes.
24:29You are sure this is the exact spot?
24:32Yes.
24:34We often used to meet here when we were courting.
24:39You see, that's the building where he used to work.
24:43Ah.
24:46That was the last time I saw him.
24:49Mr. Watson, would it us the kindness to take Miss Westbury home in the car?
24:56Oh, it's bad. It's very bad.
25:14Of course, Mr. Jones.
25:16The whole place is disorganized.
25:18West dead. Now the chief dead.
25:22Our papers stolen.
25:25And yet when I closed this office on Monday evening, we were as efficient as any in the service.
25:30At what hour was the office closed on Monday?
25:32At five.
25:33Did you close it?
25:34I'm always the last man out.
25:36Is there no night watchman to the building?
25:38There is.
25:39But he has other departments to look after as well.
25:42He's an old soldier.
25:45The most trustworthy man.
25:47He didn't see anything that evening.
25:56When you closed the office, where were the plans?
25:58In that safe.
26:00I put them there myself.
26:10If Cadogan West wished to enter the office after hours,
26:13he would need three keys within art before he could reach these papers.
26:17Yes. Key to the outer door. Key to the office.
26:21The key of the safe.
26:23And only you and Sir James Walter had those keys.
26:26Yes indeed.
26:28Sir James kept all three keys on one ring.
26:31They never left him.
26:32And of course your keys never left your possession.
26:34Never.
26:35Sir Cadogan West is the culprit.
26:37He must have had duplicates.
26:39Oh, he's the culprit all right.
26:42It's dreadful to think that West of all people should have done such a thing.
26:47You're sure of his guilt?
26:49I see no other way.
26:50He was getting married.
26:52He wanted the money.
26:53Oh yes.
26:54He's your man.
26:56Mr. Johnson.
26:58If someone desired to sell the plans,
27:01surely
27:03it'd be easier to make copies
27:06than to take the originals.
27:08It would need considerable technical knowledge.
27:10May I see these?
27:15And of course you and West and Sir James Walter had that knowledge.
27:19That may be so.
27:20But don't try to drag me into this matter, Mr. Holmes.
27:23The plans were found on West.
27:25It is certainly singular
27:26that he should risk taking the originals
27:28when he could have safely taken copies.
27:30Perhaps it was a matter of time.
27:32Ah, yes.
27:37Now,
27:38three plans are missing, I understand.
27:40They are the vital ones.
27:41That is so.
27:42Now, someone holding those
27:44three papers,
27:45I mean, could they construct a Bruce Partington submarine?
27:51I told the Admiralty that I thought it was possible.
27:54Yeah.
27:55But today, I'm not so sure.
27:57These all-important double valves
28:00with the automatic self-adjusting slots
28:02are drawn only on this plan
28:05which has been returned.
28:07Would you so kind
28:08as to close those windows shutters
28:10exactly as they were on Monday night.
28:12Window shutters, certainly.
28:24Thank you so much.
28:43Yes.
28:51I think I'll take a little stroll outside.
28:53Oh, please don't trouble yourself.
28:54I can find my own way.
29:23Okay.
29:26Would you please wait?
29:31Holmes?
29:32Watson.
29:45Look at this.
29:47The bushes have been broken.
29:50Now look at the windows behind me.
29:53The shutters don't meet in the centre.
29:57As you say.
29:59Don't meet.
30:00Interesting, don't you think?
30:028.15 to London Bridge.
30:03Yes, that was it I'm sure of.
30:04You definitely recognised him as Cadogan West?
30:05Oh yes, definitely.
30:06I knew him well, sir.
30:07He was an old acquaintance.
30:08hardly a week went by but we didn't pass the time of day together.
30:09It's hard to believe, isn't it?
30:10Yeah, I was saying to the wife only on Sunday night.
30:11No, I'm a liar.
30:12It was Saturday.
30:13I said there's no safer railway than the London Metropolitan.
30:14Did Mr West seem to be following anyone?
30:15Did you recognise him as Cadogan West?
30:16Oh yes, definitely.
30:17I knew him well, sir.
30:18He was an old acquaintance.
30:20hardly a week went by but we didn't pass the time of day together.
30:25It's hard to believe, isn't it?
30:27Yeah, I was saying to the wife only on Sunday night.
30:30No, I'm a liar.
30:31It was Saturday.
30:32I said there's no safer railway than the London Metropolitan.
30:39Did Mr West seem to be following anyone?
30:44Not that I saw, Mr Holmes.
30:47But then I don't see everything.
30:49There was really thick fog that night.
30:52But one thing I will say.
30:54Mr West wasn't his usual self.
30:57He was nervous, excited.
31:00I tell you, this gentleman, his hand was shaking so bad.
31:03I even had to open and pick up his change.
31:05Well, I mean, that speaks for itself, doesn't it?
31:08Now, we...
31:09Ah, train.
31:10Forgiveness.
31:11Come on.
31:13Come on.
31:26Come in.
31:27Mr Holmes.
31:35Mr Holmes.
31:36Yes?
31:37Whilst you were away, a message came for you from the government.
31:41From the government?
31:42An official gentleman in a special carriage.
31:45He said I wasn't to let this out of my sight until I placed it into your own hands.
31:50Mrs Hudson, you are a most faithful watchdog.
31:55Oh.
31:59That's my brother Mycroft.
32:01He writes like a drunken crab.
32:04You'd better read it.
32:05Doctors are more used to hieroglyphics than normal human beings.
32:09Oh.
32:10Can't read the first bit.
32:12Something about small fry and a very big affair.
32:15Ah, here we are.
32:16Only men worth considering.
32:18Adolph Meyer.
32:1913 Great George Street.
32:21Doubt it's him.
32:22Not his style.
32:24Oh, Mrs Hudson!
32:26Louis...
32:27Louis...
32:29Louis...
32:30I don't know.
32:31Louis...
32:32Louis La Lafayette.
32:33Camden Mansion, Notting Hill.
32:35No, no, that's another old friend.
32:37Mrs Hudson, you're hideously in the way.
32:39I'm sorry, sir, but I only have one pair of hats.
32:42Now, please, disappear.
32:45Right, Watson.
32:47Ah, Hugo Oberstein.
32:4913 Caulfield Gardens, Kensington.
32:53Uh, known to be in town on Monday.
32:55Now reported to have left.
32:57The cabinet awaits your final report with the utmost anxiety.
33:01The whole force of the state is at your back if you should need it.
33:06Mycroft.
33:07All the Queen's horses and all the Queen's men cannot avail us in this matter.
33:17Caulfield Gardens.
33:24Well, well.
33:27What have you found?
33:29Things are turning a little in our direction.
33:33You know, I really believe that we're going to bring it off after all.
33:41I'm going out.
33:44When will he be back?
33:45I've no idea, but I promise I will do nothing serious
33:47without my trusted comrade and biographer at my elbow.
34:15You want me to meet him in a restaurant off the Gloucester Road?
34:21I just hope you'll be careful, that's all.
34:24You're not as young as you were.
34:26You know what Mr. Holmes is like once he gets the bit between his teeth.
34:27I do indeed.
34:28Good night, Mrs. Hudson.
34:29Good night, Doctor.
34:30Good night.
34:31Good night.
34:32Good night, Doctor.
34:33Good night.
34:34Good night, Mrs. Hudson.
34:35Good night, Doctor.
34:37Thank you, sir.
34:38Thank you, sir.
34:39Thank you, sir.
34:41Thank you, sir.
34:42Thank you, sir.
34:43Thank you, sir.
34:44Thank you, sir.
34:45Thank you, sir.
34:46Thank you, sir.
34:47Thanks for joining me today, listener 35.
34:48Thanks for joining me today.
34:49Thanks, ma'am.
34:50Thanks for joining me.
34:52Oo..
34:53No...
34:54It's good to keep it safe.
34:56Yes.
34:58Good night, Mrs. Hudson.
35:00Good night, Doctor.
35:05Thank you, sir.
35:06Good night.
35:10Good night.
35:13Good night, Miss Hudson.
35:16have you the tools
35:33have you had something to eat
35:37yes indeed
35:37then have a coffee and a curacao
35:39signor Goldini
35:40another coffee and a curacao please
35:44my friend
35:44I try one of the proprietors cigars
35:46they're nothing like as poisonous as one would expect
35:49oh thank you
35:50now
35:51now
35:53for our plan of action
35:55it is evident to you Watson that the body was
35:59placed on the roof of the carrier
36:02or dropped from a bridge
36:03no that's impossible placed
36:05the carriage roofs are rounded with no rails
36:07how could he be
36:09placed there
36:10in some areas
36:12the London Underground
36:13runs clear of tunnels and past the backs of houses
36:17when I found
36:19that a leading international agent lived in just such a house
36:22I was so pleased that you were a little astonished at my sudden vivology
36:26Hugo Oberstein
36:2813 Caulfield Gardens
36:30of course
36:30exactly
36:31I was able to satisfy myself
36:34that not only do the backstow windows open under the line
36:37but that owing to the intersection
36:39of the Richmond and Wimbledon lines with the circle line
36:43near Gloucester Road Station
36:44the trains are frequently held motionless
36:48at that very spot
36:50but that's splendid
36:52you've got it
36:53the house appears to be unoccupied
36:54Oberstein obviously having gone abroad to dispose of his booty
36:57he has no reason to fear a warrant
37:00and a spot of amateur burglary would never occur to him
37:02but that is precisely what we are about to do
37:05but why
37:07why for what purpose
37:08we cannot tell what correspondence maybe there are
37:11no no
37:12no I don't like it Holmes
37:14you can keep watch
37:15I'll do the criminal part
37:17this is no time to stick at trifles
37:20think of the Admiralty
37:22think of the Cabinet
37:23think of the exalted person herself
37:26who waits for news
37:27we're bound to go
37:31I knew you wouldn't shrink at the last
38:01serious proposition
38:15locked and bolted
38:17we may do better in the area
38:31ah this is better
38:37Jimmy
38:38Holmes
39:01thank you
39:31Don't touch us.
39:45Look where they rest at the bottom.
39:54Blood.
40:00Blood again.
40:01Blood again.
40:25What do you think of that?
40:26A masterpiece.
40:28You've never risen to a great heart.
40:30I agree with you.
40:31The moment I conceived the idea of the body on the roof of the train, the rest was ineligible.
40:35And major difficulties are before us.
40:37We've got a lot of work for us.
40:38We've got the full clothes.
40:39We've got a lot of work for others.
40:40We've got a lot of work for us.
40:41Oh, my God.
41:11Oh, fresh plotting paper, Connie Perlow.
41:24He's covered his trash.
41:36Oh!
41:41Oh, my God.
42:11Newspapers?
42:13I think.
42:14Oh, yeah.
42:16Why would a man so obviously untidy in his habits take the trouble to burn old newspapers?
42:23Probably trying to start a farm.
42:25There's no wood.
42:27Coal.
42:28Let me see.
42:37Well done.
42:41Well done, well done indeed. I think we have our man.
43:01Would you look in the agony column of the two remaining copies of the Daily Telegraph
43:04and I think you will find a message from someone calling himself Piero.
43:07Piero, Piero, Piero. Ah, here we are.
43:10Hope to hear sooner. Terms agreed, but must have full report. Matter presses. Signed, Piero.
43:15And the last.
43:21Yes, by Joke. Monday night after nine, two taps, only ourselves, payment in hard cash when goods delivered.
43:28Signed, Piero, just like the other one.
43:29Every paper has a message from someone calling himself Piero.
43:33It's an odd name for a villain like Oberstein to use.
43:36If only we could get the man at the other end.
43:38Watson, quickly. We haven't a moment to lose. Bring the papers.
43:49Where are we going?
43:50The offices of the Daily Telegraph. We've just time.
43:54Splendid, Sherlock. Splendid.
44:05I always said you'd make the best cat burglar in London if you put your mind to it.
44:11Can't do these things in the force, Mr. Holmes. No wonder you sometimes get results that are beyond us.
44:19Some of these days you'll go too far.
44:21You and your friend will find yourselves in trouble.
44:23England home and beauty, eh, Watson?
44:25Martyrs on the altar of our country?
44:26The agony column of the Daily Telegraph. What do you use will you make of those?
44:31Have you seen the advancements from Piero today?
44:41Tonight, same hour, same place, two taps, most vitally important, your own safety at stake.
44:49Signed, Piero.
44:50Find George if he answers that we've got him.
45:20Don't wake up, don't mind. He's here.
45:40Come and see him.
45:41You can write me down as an ass, Watson.
46:11This is not the bird I was expecting.
46:14Who is he?
46:15Colonel Valentine Walter, Sir James's younger brother.
46:19I'll begin to see how the cards fall now.
46:22What is this?
46:23I came here to visit Mr. Oberstam.
46:27I know you, surely?
46:30Sherlock Holmes.
46:34Everything is known, Colonel.
46:36How an English gentleman could behave in such a manner is beyond comprehension.
46:41We know of your relations and correspondence with Oberstam.
46:46You stole your brother's keys and had them duplicated.
46:49We know you went to Admiralty office on Monday night and was seen by Cadogan West.
46:54Leaving all his private concerns, being the good citizen that he was.
46:57He followed you closely in the fog, halfway across London, until you reached this very house.
47:02It was then, Colonel Walter, that to treason you added the terrible crime of murder.
47:10I did not.
47:11I did not before God.
47:12I swear I did not.
47:14Then tell us how Arthur Cadogan West met his end before you placed his body on the roof of the railway carriage.
47:20He followed me as you describe.
47:22But until I was at the very door of this house, I did not know it.
47:26What are you going to do with those papers?
47:47What are you going to do with those papers?
47:47He hit his head on the marble floor.
48:17He was dead in a matter of minutes.
48:20It was Oberstein's idea to stuff the less important plans in West's pocket and put him on the roof of the train.
48:33What made you turn traitor, Colonel?
48:38A stock exchange debt had to be paid.
48:42I needed the money badly.
48:44Oberstein offered me 5,000.
48:45It was to save myself from ruin and disgrace.
48:55My brother used to discuss matters with me which he probably should not have done.
49:00This submarine, for instance.
49:01How could he ever guess his own brother would betray him?
49:09That was the worst of all.
49:11He suspected me.
49:13I know he did.
49:13I read it in his eyes.
49:14And after this West business, he never held up his head again.
49:24Can you not make reparation?
49:26To ease your conscience and possibly your punishment?
49:30What reparation can I make?
49:33Where is Oberstein with the papers?
49:35I do not know.
49:37He said that letters to the Hotel du Louvre in Paris would reach him.
49:40Oh, well, then it is possible for you to help us.
49:50Come and sit down and write my dictation.
49:54Dear sir,
50:04In regard to our transaction,
50:08you have now observed
50:09that one essential detail is missing.
50:12But I have a tracing that will make it complete.
50:14Is that true, Sherlock?
50:16Quite true.
50:17What essential detail is missing?
50:20The double valves.
50:23The automatic silver adjusting slots.
50:25Good heavens, how on earth did you know that?
50:28I've become quite a submarine expert, brotherly.
50:32Now, Colonel,
50:34what would be your terms?
50:42I must ask you
50:43for a further 500 pounds.
50:46English notes, please.
50:53I shall expect to meet you...
50:56No, we can hardly say here.
50:57I wish I would suspect a trap.
51:00The foyer of the Charing Cross Hotel.
51:03Its proximity to the railway station
51:05renders it extremely popular
51:07amongst the international spies, fraternity.
51:10Did you get that, Colonel?
51:13Noon.
51:15Saturday next.
51:16I shall be very much surprised
51:19if that doesn't affect our man.
51:50A man?
52:20A man?
52:22A man?
52:24A man?
52:26A man?
52:28A man?
52:30A man?
52:32A man?
52:34A man?
52:36A man?
52:38A man?
52:40A man?
52:42A man?
52:44A man?
52:46A man?
52:48A man?
52:50A man?
52:56Splendid Bradstreet.
52:58But our traitor has flown.
53:00Well, I'll damn the cheek of the fellow.
53:04Good boy, gentlemen.
53:06I'm keeping him on a long lead.
53:10There's an awe in the month that the Diogenes Club has the most excellent oysters.
53:20I should like both you gentlemen to be my guests.
53:26Come along, Sherlock.
53:28Do you know how she left?
53:30I'll try it.
53:32I'll try it.
53:34I'll try it.
53:35Go.
53:36...
