03:18so Watson
03:24hmm you do not propose to invest in South African securities how on earth do
03:33you know that now confess you are utterly taken aback I am I should make
03:42you sign a paper to that effect why because in a few minutes you will say it
03:45is also observable I should say nothing of the kind you see my dear Watson it is
03:51not really difficult to construct a series of inferences each dependent upon its
03:56predecessor and each simple in itself if after doing so one simply knocks out the
04:01central inferences and presents one's audience with the starting point and the
04:06conclusion one may produce a startling though possibly a meretricious effect I
04:16can tell by an inspection of the groove between your left forefinger and thumb
04:21that you've decided not to invest your small capital in the gold fields I can
04:27see no connection very likely not but I can quickly give you a close connection
04:32here are the missing links in the very simple chain you had chalk between your
04:36forefinger and thumb when you returned from the club last night you put chalk
04:40there when you play billiards to ease the cue you never pay billiards except with
04:45Thurston now Thurston you told me four weeks ago had an option on some South
04:51African security which expired in the month and which he desired you to share
04:54with him your checkbook is locked in my drawer and you have not asked for the key so
04:59you do not propose to invest your money in that manner how absurdly simple
05:11quite so every problem is absurdly simple when it is explained to you
05:19well Holmes why are you so cheerful you're unemployed you have no case to solve now
05:25normally that produces black moods and the infernal lethargy of the cocaine bottle
05:32you have not used the logical principles which are constantly expired
05:40Sherlock Holmes is cheerful show Sherlock Holmes and must have a case see what you can make of that
05:52friend Watson by Holmes it's a child's drawing on is that your idea what else should it be well
06:00that is what a mr. Hilton cubit of riddling thought manner Derbyshire is anxious to know
06:05that conundrum came by the first post and he is to follow by the next train
06:31Hilton cubit no no I have already looked him up Watson his family has owned land in Derbyshire for over
06:37500 years so I presume that mr. cubit
06:40Hilton cubit is as respectable as he is worthy with a fresh face an open countenance and wearing a brown
06:50bowler hat oh no you cannot possibly know that really Holmes
07:02you will stay and keep a record of the case my dear fellow
07:06you will stay and keep a record of the case my dear fellow
07:15thank you mrs. Hudson this way mr. cubit
07:21mr. Sherlock Holmes
07:23this is my friend and colleague dr. Watson dr. Watson sir how do you do do sit down mr. cubit
07:29thank you
07:33so what do you make of it gentlemen this thing
07:37have you had time to study it
07:40absurd little figures dancing in a line is a childish prank
07:44why do you attach importance to something so trivial
07:47I don't mr. Holmes I never should
07:50no it's it's my wife you see
07:52she
07:54go on mr. cubit you're with friends
07:57but it's frightened her almost to death
08:00she says nothing tries to appear normal but
08:04I've never seen anyone so upset
08:09in white chalk on a garden seat it is a precise copy
08:12no it's as exact as I could make it
08:15I did think it might be the stable boy but the lad denied it
08:19if there's any danger threatening my wife mr. Holmes I'd spend my last penny to protect her
08:25do sit down mr. cubit
08:30you smoke mr. cubit
08:31yes no no no I won't thank you
08:40tell us about your wife mr. cubit
08:48well I've always lived in Derbyshire
08:51Riddlingthorpe Manor near Matlock
08:54I was a bachelor and thought I'd remain one
08:56until three years ago I came down to London on a visit
09:00it's a rare thing for me but
09:03well I had a mind to see the Queen's golden jubilee
09:06I put up at a boarding house in Russell Square because Parker
09:10he's the vicar of our parish he was staying there
09:15there was also a young American lady staying there
09:19Patrick was her name Elsie Patrick
09:22well we were both alone and we became friends
09:25did the sights and that
09:27at your expense
09:29certainly not
09:30are you suggesting
09:31no he's not mr. cubit not at all
09:35was this miss Elsie Patrick in London merely for the jubilee
09:42no no no she'd been here some time she'd tired of America
09:46traveled about and finally settled in England
09:51well not to make a labor of it
09:54before my holiday was over I was as much in love as any man ever has been
10:00to my surprise and joy she
10:01she reciprocated my feelings
10:05and we were married
10:07excellent
10:08quietly in a register office
10:11you think I'm mad mr. holmes taking a wife in such a fashion knowing nothing about her or
10:16well explain mr. cubit and come to the point
10:24oh yes in fact it was on the very day of our marriage nothing could have made me unhappy nothing
10:33on that day
10:35but now I look back it was odd Elsie
10:44there's something I have to say to you Hilton
10:47we don't want to be late my dear
10:49I've put it off till now
10:51but I must still give you the chance to change your mind
10:56let's see
10:59what in the world
11:00let me finish
11:02and what I say I do mean
11:06I love you dearly
11:09but you know nothing of my life before we met
11:13I never asked
11:16one of the things which has made me so fond of you
11:20if you marry me Hilton
11:23I promise you marry a woman who has nothing personally to be ashamed of
11:29but you'll have to take my word for it
11:31and allow me to be silent forever
11:34as to my life before we met
11:38if that's too much to ask
11:41then you must go back to your Derbyshire
11:43and leave me to the lonely life in which you found me
11:48it's little enough to ask
11:51and I shall never let you go
11:56these have been the happiest three years of my life
12:02and when did the first cloud cover the sun of this great happiness
12:10you have a way of putting things Mr. Holmes
12:12and you have a way of prevaricating with your answers Mr. Cubitt
12:17well it was some months ago May in fact
12:25Hilton
12:26hello
12:29here in the drawing room
12:35well what do you think
12:37yeah it's a great improvement
12:43thank you Saunders
12:47I met the postman said to my journey
12:52there's a bill
12:54there's one for you
12:56an American stamp
12:57Chicago
12:59oh
13:02I hope luncheon's ready I'm ravenous
13:30Teacher
13:32she burned the letter unopened
13:34yes
13:35yes I don't know why of course you don't America surpassed and the subject of a
13:44solemn promise yes but she's not had an easy hour from that moment if only she
13:50trusts me I have every faith in her you must believe that whatever there was in
13:58her past I'm sure it's no fault of hers and the dancing oh yeah well I I thought
14:08she was getting over the letter and then these these drawings appeared just a
14:13childish scrawl but it made everything worse than before well I couldn't just
14:18leave it and it wasn't the sort of thing I could take to the police for they would
14:22have laughed at me so I've come to you don't you think mr. Cubitt that your
14:33best plan would be to make a direct appeal to your wife and ask her to share her
14:38secret with you a promise is a promise mr. Holmes if Elsie wishes to tell me then
14:44she will but I have no right to force her confidence however I do feel entitled to
14:51take my own line and I will
15:06then I will help you with all my heart have you seen or heard of any strangers
15:11in the neighborhood no no I haven't some of the farmers take in lodges but I've not
15:17heard of any lately then I suggest that you've returned to Derbyshire mr. Cubitt
15:23and keep a sharp lookout and make an exact copy of any fresh dancing men that may appear
15:28thank you mr. Holmes I will on mr. Cubitt this letter which started your wife's
15:36torment you are quite certain that it was from the United States yeah the postmark was Chicago
15:52good-bye and don't worry
16:22it's perfectly natural she should receive a letter from America she's from America
16:26yes but it is not natural to throw it onto the fire unopened
16:35it's beginning to look like semaphore you have read my monograph on secret site some of it I found it
16:43rather heavy-going it evidently has a meaning if it is purely arbitrary it may be impossible to solve
16:53however if it is systematic we should be able to get to the bottom of it but we
17:01need more messages and preferably long ones so I doubt if Hilton Cubitt would agree with that
17:30okay
17:31okay
17:50Walker?
18:00You know anything about this?
18:02No, sir. I've not been around the front all day.
18:05Have Mrs. Cubitt been out here?
18:07I've no way of knowing, have I?
18:10Sir.
18:12When I've done this, I want you to wash it off,
18:14and tell no one about it, and then come to me.
18:17I shall have an urgent letter for you to post.
18:43Is she?
18:46Elsie?
18:46I don't know.
19:22I don't know.
19:46I don't know.
19:47I don't know.
19:49I don't know.
19:49I don't know.
19:49I don't know.
19:49I don't know.
20:35I don't know.
20:37Where did I come from?
20:39They say a moonlight that drives you crazy.
20:58Why don't we travel, Hilton?
20:59Why don't we go away?
21:15I love this place as much as I love you.
21:22Hilton?
21:28What did you see?
21:29Nothing.
21:30Nothing at all.
21:32Please, dearest.
21:36Hilton, I beg you.
21:37There's somebody outside.
21:40Hilton!
21:41Hilton, wait.
21:44You'll come to harm.
21:46Or are you afraid he will come to harm?
22:08These two are identical.
22:11Yes.
22:13Well, had that one washed off, then it must have reappeared.
22:17You know, it's a pity you didn't get a closer look at this chap.
22:20If only she hadn't tried to stop me.
22:22I've never been angry with her before.
22:24But she knew who was out there, of that I'm sure.
22:27And she knows what these figures mean.
22:31Was this a mere addition to this?
22:33Or did it appear to be entirely separate?
22:36It was on a separate panel of the door.
22:48Well, I know what I'm going to do.
22:51Once we'll go home.
22:53Once we'll put half a dozen of my lads in the shrubberies.
22:55If this fellow calls again, give him such a thrashing,
22:58he'll leave us alone in the future.
22:59Well, that would be one way.
23:01Mr. Cubitt, this case is too deep for such a simple remedy.
23:08I must go now if I'm to catch my train.
23:12I'd not leave Elsie alone at night for all the time.
23:14Elsie.
23:14Quite right.
23:16Good day, Mr. Cubitt.
23:18We will join you in a couple of days.
23:20And be patient.
23:22Goodbye, Dr. Watson.
23:23I'll find my own way.
23:25Bye.
23:29You weren't exactly sympathetic.
23:32He doesn't come to me for sympathy.
23:47It is a considerable challenge.
23:51I shall work better for silence.
23:54Oh, well.
23:56I dare say I can find something quiet to do.
24:11You might remember, I'll add to my face,
24:14You're next to me.
24:15Bye.
24:16Bye.
24:20Bye.
24:39Whoa, sir.
24:43Where did you find this?
24:44Down by the garden bench.
24:46Will that mean you'll be wanting me to take another letter for London, sir?
24:52You will.
24:55I'll have to get to move on if I'm going to catch the last pause.
24:58Walker, just do what you're told.
25:11Yes, Watson?
25:12I thought you might like the times.
25:16What do you make of my progress?
25:20Well, it still doesn't mean very much, does it?
25:23Quite enough for me to send a telegram to the United States.
25:27What on earth does that mean?
25:29Abbas Lane.
25:31Watson, if this is E,
25:36flag denotes the end of words.
25:38Go.
26:30Oh, this grouse is superb.
26:35Mrs. Hudson has really surpassed herself this time.
26:41What time is the last train to Matlock?
26:44I'm afraid we've missed it.
26:49Holmes, I do wish you would try and eat a bite.
26:54I just need an answer to my telegram from America,
26:59and the story is complete.
27:01Historian children is complete.
27:02I don't know why the Lord is free.
27:03Permission, will never miss her.
27:04He doesn't work your mind for the moment.
27:04But he's got aubscribe from her,
27:11Oh.
27:18Oh, no.

33:48Let's go.
33:53Let's go.
33:54Let's go.
33:56Let's go.
33:57I'll tell you nothing.
33:57Absolutely nothing is to be moved.
34:12I should think it must have happened about three o'clock in the morning, sir.
34:18Where are your rooms?
34:20Autopsis.
34:21The attics.
34:22I was awoke by this terrible bomb.
34:25An explosion is the only word.
34:27then about a minute later there was another bang only not so loud
34:33what did you do we came downstairs expecting to find mr cubit up and about chasing burglars
34:40and house on fire and the bedroom door was open we looked in but the bed was empty so we
34:46came on
34:47down the smoke and the smell was worse down here smell ah you mean of the gunpowder suppose it was
34:55sir yes now you say the smell was worse downstairs could you also smell gunpowder upstairs yes sir
35:03I commend that fact very carefully to your attention inspector mrs. King would you like to sit down
35:14mrs. King now was the library door open when you reached it open yes sir we could see the candle
35:27the
35:27lights on the table and so we came in and then oh dear as terrible a thing as ever I
35:36saw or ever feared
35:37to see she was terrible wounded sir she was moaning and groaning she sort of collapsed on the floor and
35:45she hasn't said anything to say saunders we moved out to her bedroom sir and sent fred walker for the
35:55doctor and the police and there was no sign of a break-in or of an intruder no sir and
36:05all the doors
36:06windows and windows was locked as we had left them when we went to bed
36:11inspector
36:13no yes sir
36:18apart from poor mrs. cubit nothing else has been moved no sir no we've touched nothing mr. holmes
36:28thank you then I think we can proceed almost instantaneous death presumably hmm straight through the heart the bullets still
36:46there
36:49what about the bullet that wounded mrs. cubit that's still in her as well it will take
36:56hands more nimble than mine to move it is this mrs. cubit's handbag yes it is mr. holmes at least
37:0720 50-pound notes a bribe but failed so two bullets fired two wounds inflicted as you said yes doctor
37:23then how do you account for the bullet that has so obviously struck the window frame
37:32by george however did you see that because dr. carthew i looked for it
37:39wonderful why the bullets still there so a third shot must have been fired which means that a third person
37:47must have been present
37:48a third shot
37:49exactly
37:49exactly
37:50when you came into this room last night you say that the door was ajar was not that window also
37:55open
37:56i don't know sir
37:57i think
37:58no sir it was shut
38:01saunders will you and cook wait in the library
38:04and you walker
38:07go ahead
38:08dr. carthew
38:09you may remove the body
38:19no it was mrs. cubit herself who shut that window
38:24if Saunders and the cook smelled smoke and gunpowder upstairs then there must
38:31have been a strong through draught otherwise it would not have spread so
38:37quickly through the house we know that door was open that window too must also
38:43have been open but only for a short time why only for a short time because the
38:50candles have not gutted there isn't a trail of wax wonderful if the late mr.
39:03Hilton Cubitt fired the bullet which pierced the window frame he must have
39:09been aiming at someone who was standing either inside or just outside the window
39:16thank you inspector which means that the bullet which killed mr. Cubitt could
39:20have been fired by sir inspector your thoughts and mine agree entirely
39:47this is the cartridge case of the bullet which killed mr. Hilton Cubitt
40:06Holmes if three shots were fired why did mrs. King and Saunders only hear two shots
40:14they were telling the truth but lied without realizing it I'm not sure that I follow you
40:21you remember what mrs. King said I was awoken by this terrible bang an explosion it is the only word
40:31and then a minute later there was another bang but not so loud the first bang was two shots fired
40:40almost simultaneously one from the window which killed Hilton cubit and one from Hilton cubit which missed and
40:49went into the window frame and the third shot the saddest of all mrs. cubit
41:02self-administered in her despair
41:09now do any of you know of an inn in the neighborhood called Eldridge's
41:21there's a farmer of that name live some miles of in the direction of Millbrook
41:29is it a lonely farm very lonely sir then it is just possible that the news of what happened here
41:35last
41:36night has not reached them maybe not sir excellent Walker I want you to take this note to a
41:46mr. Abe Slaney of Eldridge's farm do not say that the note is from me and make no mention of
41:53what
41:53happened here last night now you understand yes sir thank you Walker I am expecting a visitor
42:05in answer to my note by Saunders he will ask for mrs. cubit I want you to show him into
42:16this room
42:17I want this house to look quite normal and you must not give anything away of what has happened
42:25very good sir now I suggest you return to your duties and dr. Carthew I suggest you return to your
42:32patient
42:35your mistress is quite innocent
42:36oh mrs. king your mistress is quite innocent
43:06but how did you break the code well you see
43:11you see the rules which guide us in deciphering all secret writing depend on the fact that E E is
43:19the most common letter in the English language
43:23so you see we were very fortunate that mrs. cubit's name was LC and that it featured in the second
43:30message which gave us not only the E but the L the S and the I
43:36now next it seemed likely to us that two of the messages were appeals of some sort
43:59by adding the T and the G the message reads at Eldridge's come LC
44:10well this Abe Slaney is indeed the murderer we must make an immediate move to arrest him
44:15well calm yourself inspector I expect him here at any moment
44:18but why should Slaney come here
44:20because I have written and asked him
44:22but won't his suspicions be roused will he not try to escape
44:26Saunders
44:27excuse me sir there's a gentleman approaching the house
44:33do you think he'd be armed
44:35he's a fool if he's not
44:52good day sir
44:53is mrs. cubit at home
44:55I'll inquire sir if you'll step inside
45:07what name shall I say
45:09tell her it's an old friend she's expecting me
45:12if you'll wait in the library a moment
45:31well gentlemen
45:33it looks like you've got the drop on me but what the hell is going on
45:37Abe Slaney I believe
45:39what if I am and who are you anyway
45:41my name would mean nothing to you though I suspect that of Wilson Hargreave
45:44or the Chicago police department will
45:48I see that it does
45:54Mr. Slaney
45:56you should know
45:57that mrs. Elsie Cubitt is very seriously ill
46:03I don't believe you
46:05this is some cheap trick
46:08mrs. Elsie Cubitt wrote me a note just an hour ago
46:11a note that only I can understand
46:14what one man can invent another can discover
46:19I'm here
46:21Abe Slaney
46:23at Eldridge's
46:24come Elsie
46:26and your last note to her
46:27Elsie
46:28prepare to meet thy God
46:32and this
46:35you wrote that note
46:38but you were lying about Elsie
46:40Slaney when you shot and killed Hilton Cubitt
46:42Elsa Cubitt in her despair
46:46attempted to kill herself
46:47and is now at death's door
46:49no
46:50no
46:50I gotta see her
46:52I gotta see her
46:52I love her for God's sake
46:54Elsie
46:54I love you Elsie
46:57Elsie
46:58Elsie
46:58Elsie
46:59I believe that she fled from America to avoid you
47:02because you followed her and made her life a misery
47:05she now lies under grave suspicion of murdering the husband she loved
47:09the least you can do is to clear her of that
47:16I guess the very best case I can make for myself now is to tell you the absolute naked truth
47:22it is my duty to warn you that it will be used against you
47:28I guess you probably know that Elsie's father's the most powerful man in Chicago
47:33one of the most powerful criminal men in Chicago
47:37it was he who invented the dancing men
47:41we used it as a code in the old days
47:43I've known Elsie since she was a child
47:45she was promised to me
47:47I may have threatened her but I wouldn't have touched the hair on her pretty head
47:53but you're right
47:55she hated the whole Chicago business
47:58that's why she ran away to Europe
48:00it was only after her marriage to this Englishman that I was able to find out where she was
48:06I wrote to her but I got no answer
48:10she burned your letter
48:12she was happy in her new life in Derbyshire
48:18I came here to England to take her home
48:22I sent her notes
48:24I did everything I could to coax Elsie away
48:27then my temper got the better of me and I began to threaten her
48:31but yesterday
48:33she sent me a letter
48:35she said she would come down when her husband was asleep
48:38and speak to me through the end window
48:41if I would go away afterwards and leave her in peace
48:47can I make you see
48:54I've never been so happy as I've been here with him
48:57I love him
49:02Abe, I want to stay and I'm going to stay
49:05but what about your friends in Chicago?
49:08what about your family?
49:10friends, do you call them?
49:12killers, robbers, extortionists?
49:14some family
49:16but you and I were engaged
49:18I'm sorry Abe
49:19my father forced me into it
49:22how can I be happy with you in that life?
49:27please go away
49:30please
49:32I beg you
49:33you beg me?

50:29Amen.
51:24I think we've heard enough for the moment.
51:26Come along.
51:28Can't I see her before I go?
51:31Nobody can see her.
51:33Even we have not been given that privilege.
51:43Mr. Holmes, I hope that if ever again I have an important case, I shall have the good fortune
51:51to have you by my side.
51:54Good afternoon and thank you.
52:02Holmes, what did you write in that note?
52:08See if you can read it.
52:13Come here at once.
52:23Come here at once.
52:27How absurdly simple.
52:32And so the dancing men, which had so often been the agents of evil, were finally used
52:37on the side of justice.
52:39Abe Slaney was condemned to death at the Derby Assizes, but his sentence was changed to penal
52:44servitude in consideration of mitigating circumstances, in the certainty that Hilton Cubitt had fired
52:51the first shot.
52:52Mrs. Cubitt made a complete recovery and lives still at Riddling Thorpe Manor.
53:08The answer is, I don't want to give us a chance.
53:16According to the author's name, can we believe it?
53:17It is a third section in this sermon that we have prayed for the memorial,
53:18the meaning of the God.
53:18We have prayed for it.
