00:00Satsang with Mooji
01:00Mr. Cradidis.
01:21Good evening.
01:23Are you Latimer?
01:25I am Paul Cradidis.
01:27My name is Latimer.
01:28I've come to meet you, Mr. Cradidis.
01:30I have a gramma for my sister, Sophia.
01:32Yes, just come this way, Mr. Cradidis.
01:34We have a carriage waiting.
01:36Let's go.
01:38Let's go.
01:40Let's go.
01:42Let's go.
01:44Let's go.
01:46Let's go.
01:48Let's go.
01:50Let's go.
01:52Let's go.
01:54I don't know.
02:24During my long and intimate acquaintance with Sherlock Holmes, I'd never heard him referred to his relations, and hardly ever to his own early life.
02:49Because of this reticence, I sometimes found myself regarding him as an isolated phenomenon, as deficient in human sympathy as he was preeminent in intelligence.
03:01I'd come to believe that he was an orphan with no relatives living.
03:05But one day, to my very great surprise, he began to talk to me about his family.
03:12My singular gift for an observation and deduction may have come from my grandmother, who was a sister of Vernet, the French artist.
03:22Your art in the blood is liable to take the strangest forms.
03:26For example, my brother, Mycroft.
03:29Your brother?
03:34I didn't know you had a brother.
03:37Oh, yes.
03:37Holmes, and I can assure you that he possesses a far greater faculty for observation and deduction than I do.
03:45Holmes, I know that you are a modest man.
03:48Holmes, my dear Watson, I cannot agree with those that rank modesty among the virtues.
03:56To the logician, everything should be seen exactly as it is.
04:00And to underestimate oneself is as much a departure from the truth as to exaggerate one's own ability.
04:05What I have just told you about my brother is the exact and literal truth.
04:09Well, naturally, I don't doubt your word.
04:11But if there is another man in England with such singular powers,
04:15how is it that neither the police nor the public have ever heard of him, let alone myself?
04:22Ah, he is very well known in his own circles.
04:25Where then?
04:27The Diogenes Club.
04:30It is the oddest club in London.
04:33And my brother, one of the oddest men.
04:41I suppose you wish to meet him.
04:48Well, of course I do.
04:52Even if it's just to prove that he exists.
04:58Then you shall.
05:01This afternoon.
05:02He has come across the most singular problem which he thinks might interest me.
05:06But why does Mycroft not use his great powers for detective work?
05:12If the art of the detective began and ended in reasoning from an armchair,
05:15my brother would be the greatest criminal agent that ever lived.
05:19What is to me a means of livelihood is to him the merest hobby of a dilettante.
05:24But he has no ambition and no energy.
05:29What is his profession, then?
05:31He has an extraordinary faculty for figures.
05:33He audits the books for some of the government departments.
05:40But what are the qualifications for the Diogenes Club?
05:43Shyness and misanthropy.
05:45My brother is one of the founded members.
05:47It contains the most unsociable and unclubable men in town
05:51who speak not a word and shun even the merest glance.
05:56Now, let us enter.
05:57Yes, but not a word.
05:58Yes, but not a word.
06:03Good night.
06:17Yes, but not a word.
06:19Amen.
06:19Amen.
06:49Holmes, have you...
07:19Look at those two men, Sherlock.
07:36What do you make of it?
07:42The billiard marker of the other.
07:43Precisely.
07:44What do you make of the other?
07:46An old soldier, I perceive.
07:48And very recently distraught.
07:49Served in India, I see.
07:51And a non-commissioned officer.
07:52With artillery, I fancy.
07:54And a widower.
07:55With a child.
07:57Children, my dear boy.
08:00Children.
08:04Mycroft Holmes.
08:06Glad to meet you, Dr. Watson.
08:08I hear of Sherlock everywhere since you became a astronomer.
08:12Well, thank you.
08:14For anyone who wishes to study mankind, this is the spot.
08:19But surely you were taking things a little too far just now.
08:22It is not hard to say, Watson, that a man of that bearing and expression of authority and sun-baked skin is a soldier.
08:28It is more than a private and is not long from India.
08:33That is not long since left the service is shown by his still wearing his ammunition boots, as they call him.
08:40He has not the cavalry stride.
08:43Yet he wore his hat on one side as he's shown by the lightest skin on one side of his brow.
08:49His weight is against him being a sapper.
08:52He is in the artillery.
08:54Well, of course, his complete mourning shows that he's lost someone very dear.
08:58The fact that he's doing his own shopping looks as though it was his wife.
09:01He's been buying things for children, you will see.
09:06There is a raffle which shows that one of them is very, very gone.
09:11The fact that he has a picture book under his arm shows there is another child.
09:19Ah, Mr. Maylass.
09:24Come in, sir.
09:31These are my friends.
09:36This is Dr. Watson.
09:38And this is my younger brother, Sherlock.
09:43You're Mr. Sherlock Holmes?
09:45I asked Mr. Maylass to step across.
09:48He lodges on the first floor above me, and I thought you'd be interested in his story.
09:54He's the reason why I asked you to call today.
09:58Mr. Maylass, he came to me, well, in perplexity.
10:03But I think I shall ask Mr. Maylass to tell his own very remarkable experiences in his own fashion.
10:10Thank you, Mr. Holmes.
10:16For many years, I have been the chief Greek interpreter in London.
10:22I do not think that the police believe my story.
10:25On my word, I do not.
10:26But just because they have never heard of it before, they think that such a thing cannot be.
10:33But I know that I shall never be easy in my mind until I know what has become of my poor man with a sticking plaster upon his face.
10:45Sticking?
10:47Mr. Maylass, please sit down.
10:50Thank you, Mr. Holmes.
10:51I prefer to stand.
10:54What?
10:54I am all attention.
11:04All this happened only two days ago, on Monday night.
11:09I am Greek by extraction, and earn my living as an interpreter.
11:14It often happens that I am sent for at strange hours, by foreigners who get into difficulties,
11:19or by travelers who arrive late and wish my services.
11:24I am the only one life in provide assistance.
11:32I am the only birthingman in my room, I have the only attribute of 100% of the people,
11:36and I have a few questions that you do not govern recently.
11:38I have the only receptionist for the people in my room,
11:41but I am the only one you never really believe in the Quan Gracie.
11:43I am the only one you are at I am the only one you are at I am.
11:45Especially with a friend and his daughter will be in my room.
11:46Nothing is going to be in my room.
11:47I am the only room for a long time and his parents.
11:49I am the only one you are at I am the only one you are but he is earning the people.
11:51He is a wonderful man, and I am the one you are at I am the living room.
11:52Mr. Mullass?
12:12Yes?
12:15I apologize for this intrusion,
12:17but I need the services of an interpreter immediately.
12:21My name is Latimer.
12:22Immediately?
12:25I wouldn't insist unless it were urgent,
12:27but a Greek friend of mine has just arrived in this country on business,
12:30and unfortunately he speaks nothing but his own tongue.
12:34I likewise so.
12:36Mr. Mullass, please.
12:37My carriage is waiting outside.
12:43How far away?
12:46Oh, Lady Kensington.
12:47I'm sorry to have to cut off your view, Mr. Mullass,
13:02but the fact is I have no intention that you should see the place to which we are driving.
13:19It might possibly be inconvenient to me if you were ever able to find your way there again.
13:24This is very extraordinary conduct, Mr. Latimer.
13:28You must be aware that what you're doing is quite illegal.
13:32It is somewhat of a liberty, no doubt, but we'll make it up to you.
13:36For nearly two hours we drove without my having the least idea as to where I was.
13:51Did you not notice any change of sound under the wheels?
13:56I listened, Mr. Holmes.
13:58Sometimes we seemed to be on a paved causeway,
14:01sometimes on asphalt.
14:03But there was nothing to tell me where I was.
14:06And no other sounds?
14:08A ship's siren?
14:10A church bell?
14:12I'm sorry, nothing like that.
14:13At what time did you finally reach your destination?
14:17Ten minutes to nine.
14:19Exactly.
14:43I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
15:13I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
15:43Mr. Melas, Harald.
15:45Yeah.
15:46Well done.
15:48Well done.
15:50No ill will, Mr. Melas, I trust.
15:55But we could not get on without you.
15:58If you deal fair with us, you'll not regret it.
16:03But if you try any tricks, God help you.
16:06What do you want of me?
16:08Only to ask a few questions of a Greek gentleman who is visiting us and to let us have the answers.
16:15But, um, you say no more than you are told, or it were better you had never been born.
16:20Mr. Melas, pray continue.
16:30Well, then, this man, this evil man, showed me into a room which appeared to be very curiously furnished.
16:44But again, the only light was afforded by a single lamp half turned down.
16:52Let's go.
16:53Good night.
17:06Good night.
17:07to slate Harold are his hands loose
17:37take this
17:46you will ask the questions Mr. Melas and he will write the answers
17:58ask him first of all whether he is prepared to sand the papers
18:04are you ready to write the papers
18:09are you ready to write the papers
18:23are you ready to write the papers
18:24never
18:31never
18:38on no conditions
18:53he writes only if i see him married in my presence by a greek priest whom i know
19:00he writes only if i see him married in my presence by a greek priest whom i know
19:15you know what awaits you then
19:22he says i care nothing for myself
19:38and so it went on
19:41again and again i had to ask him whether he would give in and sign the document
19:46again and again i had the same indignant reply
19:51but soon a thought came to me
19:56i took to adding on little sentences of my own to each question
20:01innocent ones at first
20:04to test whether either of our companions knew anything of the matter
20:07and then as i found that they showed no sign i played a more dangerous game
20:20this obstinacy is doing you no good
20:26but he has to find no way
20:27yeah
20:28yes
20:29yes
20:30yes
20:31yes
20:32yes
20:33yes
20:34yes
20:35yes
20:39yes
20:40yes
20:41yes
20:43yes
20:45yes
20:46yes
20:47yes
20:49In fact, he had also told me he was a stranger in London.
21:03He then told me he had been here three weeks
21:06and was being forcibly starved.
21:13Starved.
21:16Did you manage to find out his name?
21:18Gratidis.
21:20He was from Athens.
21:22But that was all I could discover, unfortunately.
21:26Another five minutes and I should have wormed out the whole story under their very noses.
21:32I'll ask you McGarry, Mr. Malath.
21:36But at that instant, the door opened and a woman stepped into the room.
21:44He says never.
21:46Well, ask him again.
21:48Harold, I could not stay away any longer.
21:50It's time.
21:52Sophia!
21:54Sophia!
21:56Sophia!
21:58Sophia!
22:00Sophia!
22:02Sophia!
22:04Sophia!
22:06Sophia!
22:08Sophia!
22:10Sophia!
22:12Sophia!
22:14That...
22:15...will...
22:16...do...
22:18...
22:19...
22:20...
22:21...
22:22As you perceive, we have taken you into our confidence over some very private business.
22:40Here are five sovereigns, which will, I hope, be a sufficient fee.
22:46But remember, if you speak to anyone about this, one human soul mind, well, may God have mercy on your soul.
23:16As before, I was taken in the closed carriage for almost two hours.
23:35There I was abandoned, as I was later to discover, near Wandsworth Coppermore.
23:44I do not know where I had been, nor whom I had spoken with, nor anything, saving what I have told you.
24:14But I know there is foul play going on, and I want to help that unhappy man before God I do.
24:44Mycroft.
25:07Mycroft!
25:10What steps have you taken so far?
25:14Well, this was in all the daily papers.
25:19Anyone having information as to the whereabouts of a Greek gentleman named Paul Kuratidis, who cannot speak English, will be rewarded.
25:28A similar reward will be paid to anyone having information about a Greek lady whose first name is Sophia, but no answer as yet.
25:36What about the Greek legation?
25:37I have tried. They know nothing.
25:39The head of the Athens police, then.
25:41Oh, my God.
25:44Sherlock has all the energy of the family.
25:48Will you take up the case, by all means, and let me know if you do any good?
25:53Certainly.
25:54Mr. Mellor, sir.
25:56I should be extremely careful, if I were you.
26:03But, of course, through these advertisements, they will know that you have betrayed them.
26:09Music is fine.
26:23Oh, my God.
26:53Oh, my God! Wait for me!
26:55Whoops.
26:58On your way.
27:00It seems to me obvious that this Greek girl
27:02has been carried off by the young Englishman Harold Latimer.
27:05Carried off from where?
27:07Athens, perhaps?
27:08No, no, no. This Harold Latimer cannot speak a word of Greek.
27:11The girl speaks English fairly well.
27:13Influence that she has been in England some little time
27:16and he has not been in Greece.
27:23Thank you, Miss Jackson.
27:30Then let's presume that the girl was visiting England
27:34and that this Harold persuaded her to fly with him.
27:37That is more probable.
27:38Then the brother, that must be the relationship,
27:41comes over from Greece in order to intervene.
27:44They seize him, use violence to force him to sign some documents,
27:49making over the girl's fortune to them.
27:51He's probably the trustee.
27:52This, as we have heard, he refuses to do.
27:56So far.
27:57But these men will not stop now.
28:00Whatever happens, Watson, we must find them.
28:02How can we?
28:03Well, if our conjecture is correct,
28:06and the girl's name is or was Sophia Kratides,
28:09we should have no difficulty in tracing her.
28:12That must be our main hope.
28:14The brother, of course, is a complete stranger.
28:17Come in, Sherlock.
28:41Come in, sir.
28:43You don't expect such energy from me, do you, Sherlock?
28:45Now, how did you get here?
28:49I passed you while you were in the telegraph office.
28:52I've had an answer to my advertisement.
28:55It came within a few minutes of your leaving.
28:57At what effect?
28:59It is written with a J-pen on royal cream paper
29:04by a middle-aged man with a weak constitution.
29:08Sir, in answer to your advertisement of today's date,
29:11I beg to inform you that I know the young lady in question very well.
29:16If you should care to call upon me,
29:19I could give you some particulars as to her painful history.
29:23She is at present at the Myrtle's Beckenham.
29:26Yours faithfully, J. Davenport.
29:29He writes from Lower Brixton.
29:31Do you not think we should drive there now
29:34and learn these particulars?
29:35My dear Myrtle,
29:36the brother's life is more important than the sister's story.
29:41I think we should call at Scotland Yard for Inspector Gregson
29:44and then go straight out to Beckenham.
29:47Well, we know that a man is being done to death.
29:50Every hour may be vital.
29:53Better pick up Mr. Malas on the way.
29:55Why?
29:57Because we may need a Greek interpreter.
30:01Excellent, Watson.
30:04I should say, from what we have heard,
30:06that we are dealing with a particularly dangerous gang.
30:12Oh.
30:25Mr. Malas?
30:28Yes?
30:29There's a gentleman downstairs to see you, sir.
30:31What gentleman?
30:33Well, he said he met you today at the D'Argenies Club.
30:41Mr. Holmes.
30:43Thank you!
30:55Good evening, Mr. Malas.
31:25Good evening, Mrs. Stone.
31:51Would you tell Mr. Malas I need to see him urgently?
31:53But Mr. Malas is not here, sir.
31:56A gentleman just called for him and he left.
31:59Can you tell me where?
32:00Oh, I don't know, sir.
32:01All I know is he drove off with the gentleman in a carriage.
32:05Did the gentleman give a name?
32:06No, sir.
32:07He wasn't a tall, handsome, dark young man.
32:09Oh, no, sir.
32:11He was a little gentleman.
32:12With glasses.
32:14Thin in the face.
32:15But very pleasant in his ways.
32:18He was laughing all the time he was talking.
32:24Scotland Yard.
32:26And hurry it.
32:39It can't be done without a warrant.
32:42We are not disputing that, Inspector.
32:46Even if they are criminals, it is a private house and the law demands...
32:50The law demands that we act quickly.
32:55Can you not find a magistrate to sign this warrant for us?
32:58At this hour?
33:03At this very minute.
33:06Or kidnapping could become murder.
33:08I can, but try.
33:12Please do.
33:13Tell him, I have ceased being reasonable.
33:33If he does not sign the papers now, I will kill him.
33:40Tell him, I have no more patience.
33:45Oh, it's a crime.
33:50He says that he will kill you.
33:51Is it insane?
33:52Oh.
33:52It is insane.
33:55Please, sir, please.
33:57Please, sir.
33:59Please, sir, please.
34:01It's a mess. You must be a mess.
34:04Please, sir, please. It's a mess.
34:07Please, sir, please.
34:09Please, sir, please.
34:11Please, sir, please.
34:14Please, inspector, will you not come without a warrant?
34:19I am sorry, gentlemen. I have wasted nearly an hour.
34:23The law cannot be hurried, Mr. Holmes.
34:28The life of Mr. Melas is in your hands, inspector.
34:40Tell him.
34:42Tell him, if I kill him,
34:44I have no use any more for his sister,
34:50and she will die also.
34:52Also.
34:53But you wouldn't murder...
34:54Tell him!
34:55Tell him!
34:56It's too interesting to her.
34:58It's a mess.
35:00I don't know.
35:01Please, sir!
35:02Take your hand, sir.
35:03Kill her, sir.
35:05Please, sir.
35:07Please, sir.
35:09Please, sir.
35:11Please, sir.
35:13Please, sir.
35:15here it is gentlemen it's signed now get someone to drive us to London Bridge Station
35:28I'll pay them a lot too late
35:45a carriage heavily loaded with luggage has passed out within the last half hours
36:10wait for us here
36:11I'll have to go
36:19up

36:40The nest is empty and the birds are flown.
37:10It's Santa!
37:16Microt, get the lamp!
37:20Come, have me with the bodies! Right?
37:40Quick!
37:46The poor wretch must be Paul Cretides.
37:49No more, I'm afraid. His life is over.
37:52We should have been here sooner, Inspector!
37:55Must have been dead about four hours.
37:58The gas merely served as a coup de grace. Am I not right, Dr Watson?
38:02Beaten to death.
38:05But Mr Mellar still lives.
38:08Quick! Let's get him out of here as fast as possible!
38:11Inspector Brandy!
38:13Relax, Mr Mellar. You're in safe hands.
38:15Get the ropes off.
38:17Yeah.
38:38From a brief look at her room, the lady left in haste, but without a struggle.
38:45Oh!
38:46That man, Latimer, must still have some power over her.
38:53One wonders with how much remorse she abandoned her brother for Harold Latimer.
39:00You still retain your low opinion of women.
39:06In this instance, I fear I may be justified.
39:11Holmes.
39:12They appear to have consulted at Bradshaw.
39:19It was open of this page.
39:25The boat train.
39:27The motorists won't get far.
39:29I'll have men at every port in England if need be.
39:32The boat train makes one stop between London and Dover.
39:36At Herne Hill, in, er, in 23 minutes, precisely.
39:42Exactly.
39:43Stay with your chief witness, Inspector.
39:45You may need a statement from him.
39:48And he will need your help.
39:50Little brandy and ammonia at frequent intervals.
39:53My car!
39:54I'm not built for running, Sherlock!
39:55I'm not built for running, Sherlock!
40:23No!
40:24I'm not built for running, Sherlock.
40:25No!
40:26No!
40:27No!
40:53Tickets, please!
41:02Will you kindly have your pickings ready, please?
41:10My name is Sherlock Holmes.
41:12Well, Mr Sherlock Holmes, I've read about your case, sir.
41:16I'll be the last passengers from whom you have collected tickets.
41:19Indeed, sir.
41:19I always work at the engine, start there,
41:22and work my way back to the garage.
41:23Then you can help me.
41:24There are three passengers, two men and a woman, travelling together.
41:29They may not appear to be companions,
41:30but they will be in a compartment alone.
41:32The elder man wears thick-lensed glasses,
41:35and the younger might be called handsome.
41:37They will have a great deal of luggage marked for the continent.
41:39Have you seen such a party?
41:40Yes, indeed. I can help you, Mr Holmes.
41:43I never doubted it.
41:45There are two parties who fit that description, Mr Holmes.
41:48True.
41:50Take it, please.
41:52In compartment B4.
41:58B4.
41:58And D8.
41:59Thank you, Inspector.
42:02How do we know which two of the murderers?
42:04It couldn't be simpler.
42:06No.
42:07Don't wake him.
42:09There's danger enough for the two of us.
42:11A left-handed printer from Deptford.
42:36His elder brother drinks too much and is pained by his liver.
42:42Not our man, then.
42:44Not our man.
42:52And the girl?
42:56She knows neither of them.
42:58She's a machinist from Bradford who's going on holiday to find romance.
43:01Which means, undoubtedly, that the murderers are a compartment B4.
43:06We'll go.

49:07I hated him.
49:08And I loved him.
49:09I would have done anything he said.
49:13I would have gone anywhere with him.
49:20Even though he murdered your brother?
49:21Yes.
49:22Even though he murdered your brother.

50:05This is your revolver, sir.
50:09Well, brother mine, we seem to be heading down the path of crime.
50:16The only path I intend to take is the door to the Diogenes Club, which I shall close behind me.
50:33What will become of her?
50:34After questioning, nothing.
50:35It's not a crime to have a cold heart and a single shred of compassion.
50:39What will become of her?
50:40After questioning, nothing.
50:41It's not a crime to have a cold heart and not a single shred of compassion.

50:47After questioning, nothing.
50:48It's not a crime to have a cold heart and not a single shred of compassion.
