a very pretty young woman crossing the

street and I think she may be coming

here incidentally I have glanced over

your lids to counter my work oh yes

honestly I cannot graduate to the funny

the texture is a lot to be an exact

science observation deduction a cold an

emotional subject you have attempted to

change it with romanticism which has

much the same effect as if you'd worked

a love story or an elopement into the

fifth proposition of Euclid oh there's a

young lady to see you mr. Holmes

it's Mary Morstan and a recollection of

the name

don't go doctor I may need you I was

right

[Music]

miss Morstan good afternoon

I come to you mr. Holmes because he once

enabled my employer mrs. Cecil Forrester

to unravel a minor domestic complication

she was much impressed with your

kindness and skill thank you

[Music]

I can hardly imagine anything more

strange more utterly inexplicable than

the situation in which I find myself

state your case you will amateur what

excuse me if your friend wouldn't be

good enough to remain he might be of

inestimable service to me of course

briefly the facts are these my father

was an officer in an Indian regiment my

mother died when I was still quite a

child and and he was forced to send me

home despite the fact that I had no

relatives here I was placed in a

comfortable boarding establishment at

Edinburgh and I remained there until I

was 17 years of age in that same year my

father who was a senior captain of his

regiment obtained 12 months leave and

returned home he telegraphed to me from

London to say that it arrived all safe

and directed me to come down at once

giving the Langham Hotel us his address

his messages I remember was full of love

and kindness on reaching London I drove

straight to the Langham Hotel and was

informed that captain Morstan was

staying there but that had gone out the

night before and had not returned so I

waited all day without news of him

that night on the advice of the manager

of the hotel I communicated with the

police

the next day we advertised in all the

newspapers our inquiries lets me result

from that day to this no word has ever

been heard of my unfortunate father

he came home with his heart so full of

hope find some peace some comfort

instead the date the 3rd of December

exactly 10 years ago his luggage

remained at the hotel oh there was

nothing in it to suggest a few some

clothes and books and a considerable

number of curiosities from the Andaman

Islands my father had been one of the

officers in charge of the conflict guard

there what's in this place is a mess how

do you meet friends in time only one

that we know of

major Sholto of his own regiment the

34th Bombay Infantry we communicated

with the major of course but you did not

seem to know that his brother officer

was in England it's a singular case I

have not yet communicated to you the

most singular part four years later an

advertisement appeared in The Times

asking for the address of Miss Mary

Morstan and stating that it would be to

her advantage to come forward there was

no name appended I had at the time just

entered the family of mrs. Cecil

Forrester in the capacity of governess

and on her advice I published my address

in the advertisement Colin that same day

there appeared through the post a small

cardboard box just to me which I found

to contain very large lustrous pearl no

word of writing was enclosed and since

then every year upon the same date

there's always appeared a similar box

containing a similar pearl with no clue

as to the sender they have been

pronounced by Anik

but to be a variety and of of

considerable value you can see for

yourself that they are very handsome

your case is most interesting something

else has occurred to you yes and no

later than today that is why I have come

to you this letter arrived through the

post this morning which you will perhaps

read for yourself envelope please

London postmarked October 7 man's thumb

mark on call they're probably personal

best quality paper sixpence a packet

particular man in his stationery what's

yet the third pillar from the left

outside the lysine theatre tonight at 7

o'clock if you're distrustful bring two

friends you are a wrong woman and shall

have justice do not bring the police if

you do all be in vain your unknown

friend well really this is a very pretty

little problem what do you intend to do

miss Musti well that is exactly what I

want to ask you well then you and I

shall get together what dr. Watson is

the very man your correspondence says to

friends but would he come I should be

proud and happy if I can be of any

service oh you're both very kind I've

led a retired life and have no friends

whom I could appeal to if I'm here at 6

it will do I suppose yes but you must

not be later goodbye

goodbye mr. Holmes

[Music]

[Music]

fuck

five now

Oh

a very attractive woman

it is of the first importance that allow

your judgment to be biased by personal

qualities a client to me is a mere unit

a factor of a problem Holmes you're an

automaton a calculating machine there's

something positively inhuman in your

crime I assure you the most winning

woman I ever knew was had four boys me

three little children for them insurance

money and the rest repellent man of my

acquaintance is a philanthropist who's

spent nearly a quarter of a million upon

the London poor however in his page huh

I never make exceptions an exception

disproves the rule I'm going out I'll

see you around

[Music]

had any friends or job only one that we

know of

major Sholto of his own regiment

[Music]

there's no great mystery in this matter

the facts appear to admit only one

explanation

are you solved it already I found I'm

consulting the back files of the time

that made a shorter of Upper Norwood

later the 34th Bombay infantry died just

six years ago

this is Hudson you're dreadfully

underfoot

maybe very - Soames but I fail to see

what this suggests really he surprised

me then over this way then captain

Morstan disappears the only person in

London who he could have visited is

major Sholto major shelter denies having

heard that he was even in London

four years later shorter dies within a

week of his death captain morstan's

daughter receives a valuable present

which is repeated from year to year and

now culminates in a letter which

describes her as a wronged woman but

what wrong can it possibly refer to

accept this deprivation of my father to

go why should these prisons begin

immediately after shelters death unless

it is but shelters air knows something

of the mystery and disaster make

compensation

I already Watson and waiting there any

alternative theory that will meet the

facts what strange compensation what

time is it

little past you

[Music]

evening Robert why did somebody write

her a letter now rather than six years

ago again letter speaks of giving her

justice what justice can she have it is

too much to suppose that her father is

still alive and there's no other

injustice in her case did you know the

difficulties but there are always

difficulties

[Music]

leaving with homes I do have no Jamie

[Music]

by the way a curious paper was found in

to PA's desk which nobody could

understand I don't suppose it is of the

slightest importance but I thought you

might like to see it so I brought it

with me paper appears to be of Indian

manufacturer at some point has been

hidden to a poor

but I gallop on it appears to be the

plan part of a large building with

numerous halls corridors and passages

there's a cross in reading beside his

record 3.37 from left there is a curious

sign of

gotta sing midgets seeing Jagadish sing

Jordan school the paper has been kept

carefully in the pocket the one side is

clean as the other was in his pocketbook

was re-founded as their the Catholic

supposed to I begin to suspect this case

may be much deeper and more subtle and I

ask for support

[Music]

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Music]

hi are you the part you come with miss

Morstan I am miss most these two

gentlemen they can balance I must ask

you to give me your word that neither of

your companions is a police officer I

give you my word

[Applause]

but your servant miss most your servant

to get to my here my little sanctum I

trust you have no objection to tobacco

smoke the balsamic odor of eastern

tobacco I am a little nervous and I I

find my hooker to be an invaluable

sedative you will excuse me mr. Sholto

but I am here at your request to learn

something which you desire to tell me it

is getting very late and I should wish

the interview to be as short as possible

let must take some time before we have

to go to know word to see brother

Bartholomew we must all see if we can

get the better brother Bartholomew he is

angry with me for taking the course that

has seemed right to me you cannot

imagine what terrible fellow he is when

he is angry if we ought to go to Norwood

it would perhaps be as well if we were

to start at once no no that would hardly

do I don't know what he would say if we

came upon him in that sudden way no I I

must prepare you by showing you where we

all stand hmm to each other

I must lay the facts before you as I

know them myself

my father the late Major John chato came

to live to chat in some eleven years ago

he lived prosper in India and brought

back with him a considerable sum of

money a collection of valuable of

curiosities and a staff of native

servants with these advantages he lived

in great luxury my brother and I were at

university at the time but we did know

however that that some mystery some

positive danger

overhung our father

he was very fearful of going out alone

and he employed to prize fighters to

guard him Williams who drove you here

tonight was one of them

for some reason he never told anyone my

father had a marked aversion to men with

wooden legs on one occasion he actually

fired his revolver at a one-legged man

harmless tradesman as it turned out well

I remember where to pay a considerable

sum to a shootout certainly my father

received a letter this was oh please

dear

great shop

[Music]

at out of the room I'll cut the room

what was in the letter we could never

discover for years my father had

suffered with an enlarged spleen and

from that moment on he became rapidly

worse but one night the doctor informed

us there was no hope and that he wished

to make the last communication to us

when we were in India my friend Morrison

and I came into possession of a

considerable treasure

I brought it home with me to this house

well it's still alive

all the day but Boston arrived home from

East he came straight to this house

to claim

we gave our word shelter a promise we

give our word in our oath my life

another world has solemn promise when

there is dead girl child you have

nothing to fear that I will arrange

everything the same so it was done with

Miss Morstan

in secrecy of course but with respect

this is disgraceful mr. schulder your

father's behavior was quite unforgiving

please doctor I knew in my heart that he

was dead my father was not a well man

I'm very glad he did not suffer you're

very brave miss Morstan what concerns me

now is the reason for this quarrel I

cannot imagine how my father came to be

involved with that treasure I'm free

that is not clear to you miss most and I

can only tell you my father's

instruction is concerning my losses

agreed curse agreed that has been my

besetting sins what my life has robbed

half of which at least should be hers

you say that

chaplet there look we need luck I like

the design of sending it to her but bear

to part with them bill

my son's will see that Miss Morstan yes

[Music]

it

[Music]

we ran to the window and walked into the

garden but the intruder was gone my

father was dead we soon had more

striking proof that there were secret

agencies at work all around us the next

day my father's bedroom was broken into

and this was fixed to his chest

remarkable it is the Sikh symbol for the

new bro for what the paper means and who

our secret visitor or visitors were we

we never found out my brother and I were

much excited you could imagine the

treasure my father had spoken but try as

we might we couldn't find it it was

maddening to think that the hiding place

was on his very lips when he when he

died we could judge the splendor of the

riches by the Shep let that he had taken

out the pearls were evidently of great

value and my brother was averse to part

with them and for between friends he was

a little inclined to my father's fault

and it was all I could do was to

persuade him to allow me to send miss

Morstan a detached pearl at regular

intervals so that she would not be

destitute it was a kindly thought it was

very good of you we were your trustees

that was the way I looked at it although

my brother did not altogether see it in

that light we had plenty of money

ourselves it would have been in such bad

taste to have treated a young lady in

service curvier

yesterday an event of extreme importance

occurred we found the treasure

hence my instant communication to you

miss Morstan now all we have to do is to

drive to know it we should be expected

if not entirely welcome visitors you

have done well from first to last mr.

Sholto my health is somewhat fragile I

am compelled to be Vanna to denarian

[Music]

we dug up every inch of the garden

without discovering anything brother

Bartholomew is such a clever fellow do

you know how he found out where the

treasure was tell me he made

measurements everywhere all along the

top along the side inside and he found

out he was four foot out at the top

we found our father had made a false

room and so he smashed through them the

laugh of the blast turned and there was

he the treasure chest lying across the

rafts he is computed the value of the

treasure to be more than 1/2 million

sterling this is past mrs. bernstone the

only lady in the house and we can

a strange place except all the moles in

England have been let loose

[Music]

oh but solely tried this day

hi mrs. Bannister shut himself in his

room and I can't get the word out of it

it's bad husband slept or any food

I dare not just tell me but it's work

you know what he's like whatever just

work look after him I suppose - I do try

to calm down

look I'm sure it'll be all right

[Music]

which is the goal

[Music]

[Music]

there's something devilish in this once

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

the sign of again it means that the

police and tell them everything that you

know we shall return

homes look at this careful forgive me

it's poison oh well what's them we have

a little time let's make the most of it

this isn't it's salable mr. de Meade

grows darker instead of clearer no no no

no it clears every instant I only

required a few missing links to have an

entirely connected case simple as the

case seems now there may be something

deeper underlying it now how did these

people come and how did they go people

when it takes more than one perhaps more

than two to remove a heavy treasure

chest to a place like this

the door has not been open since last

night so how about these windows

sipped on the inside roof quite out of

reach now drain right near and yet

someone has entered this way look Watson

is that scuffle the sill and this and

this this is a very pretty

demonstrations but that that's not a

foot mark something much more valuable

to us this is the mark of a boot and

this and this the mark of the timber toe

is just a one-legged man and someone

else are very abled an efficient ally

could you scale that wall Watson

absolutely impossible I needed so but

suppose you had a friend who allowed you

this good stout rope securing it first

to the string I think if you're an

active man they be able to swarm up

wooden leg at all with the part of

course in the same fashion and then your

friend would pull up the rope close the

window snippets on the inside and depart

and the manner he originally came well

thing grows more unintelligible than

ever how about this mysterious anti how

did he get into the room yes this ally

he lifts this case from the regions of

the common place but the door is locked

the window in excessive the grapes too

small how then he will not follow my

precept hafen if I said to you once you

have eliminated the impossible whatever

remains however improbable must be the

truth he must have come in through the

roof excellent Watson held the slab but

his carry-on research to the Roma bar

the secret room which the treasure was

found

[Music]

homes a child is done this horrid thing

my memory failed me

or I should have been able to photos

they learned all we can from the editors

go down what is your theory about those

foot marks well there wasn't trial isn't

knows this yourself you know my methods

apply them I cannot conceive of anything

that will cover the facts you will soon

we're in luck

our little ally has trod in the creosote

that is the accredited representatives

of the Lord unless I'm very very much

mistaken now Watson before their carbon

what do you make of this poor fella

the muscles are stiff as a board a state

of extreme contraction far exceeding

usual rigor mortis quite so a couple of

this distortion of the face the

hippocratic smile risus Sardonicus as

the old writers call it what would that

suggest to your mind death from a

powerful vegetable alkaloid some

strictly like substance that produces

tetanus right long given to the light

hop this mist form an English thorn

I think it is not right to miss most to

remain in this chicken house I suggest

you step away and took her home Watson

and there's no other three Pinchin Lane

Lambeth and ask for Toby well here's a

pretty business place is as full as a

rabbit warren i think you may recollect

me mister found it jones mr. sherlock

holmes the theorist I'll never forget

the way you lectured us all but the

bishop gate jewel case so true you set

us on the right track then I think you

know now it is more by good luck than

good guidance it was a piece of very

simple reasoning oh come now come never

be ashamed own up what is always the bad

business business

stern facts here no room for theories

its lucky Norwood on another case when I

got the message how do you think this

man died no this is not a case for me to

theorize ER no no still we can't deny

you hit the nail on the head sometime

door locked I understand Juelz worth a

fortune missing how will the window

fastened but there was a footstep on the

sill windows fastened nothing to do with

it's common sense

man could have died in a fit decibel ha

I have a theory these flashes come to me

sometimes

sergeant outside with me and you too mr.

Sato

what do you think of this Holmes

shuto has confessed he was with his

brother last night

rapid eyes in effect shorter walks off

for the treasure how about that when I

found the dead man Villa considerately

gets up and locks the door from the

inside another floor there somewhere let

us apply common sense to the matter they

were brothers it was a quarrel brother

Bartholomew dead Jules gone and masters

everything clean a disturbed state of

mind disappearance over well not

attractive you see I am weaving a web

around values the net begins to close

upon him Jones that splinter which I

firmly believe to be poisoned that car

and that curiously shaped instrument

were lying there on the table confirms

my theory in every respect the house is

full of Indian curiosities all points to

Thaddeus but how did he escape

there is a trapdoor in the roof sergeant

pray ask mr. Sholto to step this way you

see it's a better than furious after all

my view of the case is confirmed there

is a trapdoor communicating with roof

and it is partly open it was I who

opened it it is my duty to inform you

that anything you say will be taken down

and may be used in evidence against you

I arrest you in the Queen's name as

being concerned in the death of your

brother don't trouble yourself mr.

shutter I think I can engage the clear

of his charge don't promise too much mr.

theorist you may find it a harder matter

than you think

well never like clear mr. Sholto but I

will give you a description of the two

men who had in this room last night

one was a poorly educated man strong

active with his right leg off wearing a

stump worn away on the other side his

left boot has a coarse square-toed so

his ngayon band around the heel he's

much sunburned middle-aged and has a

certain amount of skin missing from the

pile of one hand and the other one he's

rather a curious person

I have before long to be able to

introduce you to the path Watson

go to three inch in Lane nanobot and ask

for Toki

I'd rather have to his help for that

whole detective force of London

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

barrels are filled with creosote the

scent is divided so like good Huntsman

Watson who is cast the dog again and

Timmy teddy

[Music]

well out of luck

they've taken a boat from here these

people are now Watson these people sure

preconcerted management here Monica

Smith proprietor when you get fat is

there anything you'd like Jack a fine

young lad forgot that mrs. Smith

necessary is that I'm forward look it's

almost too much for me to manage

especially where my man is away days at

a time

it's a pity about that I was hoping too

hard a boat from him a steam launch she

said isn't a steam launch that he has

gone I didn't like the bloke who did the

ayah not at all very wroth with a wooden

leg come chopping up our window in the

middle of the night and I why nowhere

without word to me look this man with

the wooden leg was he alone seemed he

might have had an animal with him a dog

more like some it you're fine in the zoo

so pretty about the launch it's the old

green bird with the yellow light oh no

no the Aurora's just been fresh painted

black with gold trim with the white fun

now to black funnel ah yes of course

well thank you mr. Smith goodbye jack

the main thing with people of that sort

is never to let them think that

information is of the slightest

importance to you if you do they will

instantly shut up like an oyster

well our course seems pretty clear now

what did you do then I'm a Jack of the

Aurora there were take days

they've got months to search every war

for landing placement yard between here

and British what do you propose as our

quarry has no reason to fear that he's

being hunted

I propose first of all upon unshaven

been a good meal and then some oz asleep

at the same time mobilizing the biggest

street divisions of the detective police

force in other words dear regulars fixed

up the case between them Watson look at

this mr. Jones's training experienced

faculties but once directed towards the

detection of the criminal his well-known

technical knowledge and powers of minut

observation when it gets better still

the prompt and energetic action the

officers the law shows the great

advantage for a single vigorous and

masterful mind is the gorgeous

inattention and be arrested ourselves I

wouldn't answer that I said you know

it's alright mrs. Hudson they are my

guests

go everywhere see everything you know

man had an easy task this of ours or to

be wouldn't like men are not so common

now this other man must be unique the

Aborigines of the Andaman Islands may

perhaps claim the distinction of being a

smallest race upon this earth they are a

fierce murderous and intractable people

they're capable of forming the most

diverted friendships when their

competence has once been gained they

have always been a terror to shipwrecked

crews draining the survivors with their

stone headed clubs or shooting them with

steps I suggest that we go back to Baker

Street well I think miss Morstan should

get that

well doc look the regulations way mr.

Holmes well I can at least promise you a

nice warming freak

you will get me Oh miss Martin I am

pleased and proud to have been able to

bring the thief to justice justice

pretty justice who's Lucas this of it is

not ours

where is the justice that I should give

it up to those that have never earned it

you forget small you know nothing of

this matter we cannot tell how if our

justice may have originally been on your

side

well sir you have been very first spoken

to me though I can see that it's you

that I have to thank for these these

bracelets on my wrist still I bear no

grudge for that if you want to hear my

story I have no wish to hold it back and

what I say to you is God's truth every

word of it

when I was a lad I took the Queen's

shilling and was posted out to India

with the third buffs the krookodile stop

this off when I was bathing in the

Ganges well the Sawbones had my stump in

a tar barrel nice and quick I was young

and strong I got my discharge in this

file there's been a good support to me

so there I was a cripple of 20 but I

liked it out there so I find myself a

job as an overseer on an indigo farm was

on horseback all day so that was fine

but I was never in luck for long without

a note of warning the great mutiny was

on us I came back to the farm one

evening to find my master and all his

family be murdered I didn't wait by that

same evening I was in the Ford of Agra

the nearest city still held by the

British

the old food and Agri queer place huge

full of passages and rooms were

entrances than you can count

there were many gates and because I was

an EXO Lea and British they put me in

charge of one of them and gave me a

couple of sikhs who'd stayed loyal to us

it's a lonely place my two Punjabis were

experienced fighting men Kartar Singh

and in digit Singh

[Music]

rabble no Saheb

the fault is saved there are no rebels

this side of the river you must live

with us or you must be silenced forever

with you how we want you to be rich

which is why you British came to this

land I have no objection of being rich

then swear by the bones of your father

to raise no hand and speak no world

against us now our ever afterwards then

you will have quarter of the treasure

but there are only three of us

JDC my foster brother he must have his

share there is no times I decide well

provided the Ford is in no kind of

danger I swear what would you have done

mr. Holmes I started to suspect I'd have

done exactly as you did yes I know the

Sikh he's not a man to be trifled with

one of their local Rajas rich as Croesus

of course he'd gone in with the rebels

but he wanted to hedge his bet

just in case the British came out on top

so he made a plot to get half his

treasure hidden in the Ford of Agra it's

only one of his men with it in the guise

of a merchant and jaggedy Singh Carter's

brother to be the guide they come to

challenge himself individually give him

no cause for the fear what then if you

do what has to be done

who goes there friends I finally

recognized what have you with you a box

a box having some family papers but no

good to nobody type only for myself

so I am no ordinary beggar

you will have money sight a governess I

also take him to the main guard room

[Applause]

never was a man more compass drowned

with death if I'd met it escaped the

whole affair would have come out

I should have been shot most like

which of you would have held back his

musket Pernik we're after again Carta

was for burning it that's their religion

but such a fire was impossible

Jagadish was for throwing him down into

the great ditch below the fort for the

Jackals to clean up no doubt he was

right I was for showing some respect for

the dead then we turned to the box this

box inside were more gems and I could

ever even a dreamed of a hundred and

forty-three diamonds of the first water

including a great mobile the second

largest stone in existence ninety seven

emeralds 170 Ruby's party carbuncles 61

a gates

[Music]

Jagadish was right it was a great

mistake you made burying the body as you

did would you not say sir Watson yes

indeed body not burned in India is soon

discovered so you and your three

companions were found guilty and

sentimentality and the Andaman Islands

Blair Islander Oaktown never was a place

worse named it was a place to sweat a

place to rot placed and died and I

sweated there year after year he was our

administrative officer and he gave me a

nice cushy billet in the dispensary he

was as good and kind a Christian

gentleman as I ever come across and I

hold no grudge against him Oh Eunice

[Music]

Thank You mr. Smee

[Music]

well as I sat thinking about the

treasurer I could see all the officers

and the prison officials that they're

the drinking and the gambling yes

major Sholto never had much luck night

after night he was the loser I suppose

you could manage another couple of

hundred pretty nasty facing myself and

I've a daughter back home to support and

I've got to hey sir you decided to

approach your benefactor captain Morstan

he was often in the dispensary the

tropical climate didn't agree with him

his heart was weak and his blood was all

poisoned knowing that he would wish to

share any arrangement with his friend

the officer in command major shot yes

sir it seemed the safest way it is your

own private concern over which of course

you have the power of disposing as you

think best thank you for that advice sir

Thank You indeed but the fact is being

in the position I am I need help so help

I need a partner

well I'm sure major shelter myself would

like to help you if we could we could at

least talk about that is of course if we

can agree as to terms there's only one

bargain a man in my position can make in

exchange for my freedom and that of my

three companions we shall give you a

fifth chair to divide between you a

fifth that isn't very much fifty

thousand at the least anyway how can we

possibly give you

freedom you know it's impossible ladies

a boat and provisions there are penny

little yachts and y'alls in Calcutta or

Madras well enough to serve our purpose

only they were just the one of you none

none or all we have sworn it the four of

us must always act together no small is

a man of his word he will not abandon

his friends I think I think we may very

well trust him we met the next morning

in the small hours I had our written

agreement in every detail

we being officers in the army of Her

Majesty Queen Victoria we being officers

in the army of the Majesty Queen

Victoria to swear on the Holy Bible that

this agreement will always remain sacred

and binding to us to swear only by this

agreement will always remain sacred and

binding to us I gave each of them a plan

showing the position of the treasure

[Music]

and that brings back memories

shorter took an expert to India found

the treasure and took it back with him

to England yes when we had the news got

the most immersive angry as I was he

swore to me he would go home and settle

the matter with shelter so he would if

he lived that was not to be from that

day i lived only for vengeance i thought

of it by day i nursed it by night to get

to shot o have my hands on his throat

that was my one thought as luck would

have it one of the islanders have been

brought into my dispensary more than

half dead from a snakebite well in

common humanity i did my best for him

somehow he pulled through and became

very devoted to me funny little fella

well you gentlemen caught a glimpse of

him yourselves no doubt last night he

was staunch and true little Tonga no man

ever had a more faithful mate

being by trade a fisherman he had a

goodish sighs native boat and he agreed

to try to escape with me

[Music]

after ten days we were picked up by a

trader with a cargo of pilgrims from

Malay bound for dinner after many months

we worked our way across the world to

London a remarkable account and now I

think miss Morstan might like to see the

great Agra treasure which will surely

make her one of the richest young ladies

in England Watson

there's no key I'm sure I'll old poker

will oblige you're doing small yes yes I

put the treasure away where you shall

never lay hand on it no living man or

woman has any right to it unless it is

the three men in the Andaman convict

barracks and myself I know now that I

cannot have the use of it no more can

they but I have acted all along for them

as much as for myself it's been the sign

of four with us always hmm where is it

it's one of the key is where little

Tonga is I saw your launch must catch us

and I saw a little toddler go over the

side

I put the loot in a safe place you are

deceiving a small if you had wish to

throw the treasure into the Thames it

would have been easier to a thrown box

at all easier for me to throw and easier

for you to recover man it was clever

enough to hunt me down it's clever

enough to pick up a box from the bottom

of the river I am sorry

I'm glad the treasure is lost it's been

nothing but a curse to every man who has

owned it

I know to death to my poor father and

slavery for life to me and my companions

we spent the first half of my life

digging a breakwater in the Andamans and

I'm likely to spend the other half

digging ditches on Dartmoor

well hopes Duty is duty and I've gone

rather far in bringing him here I shall

feel more at ease when I have our

storyteller here under lock and key I am

obliged to you for your assistance

did you not watch them miss most

ah have to useful you seem a bit handy

with that wooden leg of yours

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

I feel most ashamed that you mr. Holmes

and you dear dr. Watson I've had to put

yourselves into such peril on my behalf

oh that's all over and forgotten mrs.

Forrester has sent her carriage for Miss

Morstan

I'll impose on you no longer gentlemen

you must be exhausted as I confess the

reaction is already upon me I spin as

limp as a rag for a week I'm so very

grateful to you for clearing my father's

name I'm so very grateful to you both

seems so unfair you've done all the work

of this business the filmy Jones gets

all the credit what remains for you for

me the pleasure of having sold an

interesting case almost single-handed

and for you know died the pleasure of

writing it up in your usual florid and

romantic style

a very attractive woman was she I hadn't

noticed

[Music]
