So go up your usual chair and settle down Thanks doctor. Oh, that's it All along the seating dot there where the place on the patio they had the most unfortunate count over the dead seal on the beaches afternoon

2:04In Constance that a little Melodris show In that case doctor perhaps we better change the subject so suppose I ask you about the nights new show our cones advantage Well my boys I told you last week the story took place in the fall alleyways of Limhars It was there on a foggy December evening in 1890 that my story began An old friend and patient of mine I saw Whitney that disappeared And his distraught wife had come to me for help Knowing the man to be the victim of the shocking habit of thinking opium I suspected that I might find him in one of the vile dens inhabited by the dregs of the waterfront And so Mr. Bartell about five o'clock on that December evening I began my search After in our footless wanderings I find myself in a vile alley called upper swondom lane I can hear the distant moons of the river boats as I walked by the alert and hand on the revolver in my coat bucket Oh

3:05Subdly I saw a steep flight of steps leading down to a black gap like the Michael the cave I walked down The steps were worn hollow in the center by the ceaseless tread of stumbling feet I reached the bottom Adore faced me and above it the fricking oil lamp went warning I found the latched and lifted it The door squeaked open protesting there And I entered There was a tinkle of Chinese wind cells as I walked towards a long low room A strange sight met my eyes Through the gloom thick and heavy with a brown opium smoke I Salt the room was terraced with wooden bursts like the folks saw of an eggless ship

4:07Out of the shadows they give me little red circles of light now bright Now faint as a burning poison waxed or wained in the metal pipes bodies lay in strange and Testic poses Outshodas Penthneys heads thrown back The tendon came up to me with a pipe and back in mid to an empty bird I haven't come here to smoke your full-todd rag I'm looking for a friend just to ice the witness No, Mr. Wheatney here. I'm going to set the place you must not disturb the prince I'm carrying an revolver so you'd better not argue with me my good men out of the way I set step footed in but found no trace of my missing friend As I was leaving despair a long shaking hand reached out and plucked at my sleeve I turned and their sprawl in the birth was the wreckage of a man His gone face yellow and twitching his clothes filthy and ragged and the pupil of his eyes Pin points. He spoke to me in a thin

5:08Quavering voice Brim's ain't coming out of here. Now look here my man. He comes here. And you got knowledge. Please help me come here. Take me out of here. Start your thing. I'm sorry. Yeah. Well, what was too expect if you indulged this filthy habit? Take me out of here, Governor. I'll go strike this time. Cross me out I will. Oh, well, come along with me. I suppose it's my duty to help you. Ah, bless you, Governor. Yeah, if I give me your arm. You cannot take him away. You owe me money. I shall bleed in life. I'll pay him what I come in on you. He cannot go with you. You remember what I said about my revolver? You black-eyed. I have no more trouble with you. I'll fix the police. Come along. He owe me money. He owe me money. Colonel Scarlo, me money. Sorry, my dropper, Governor. Now that I've heard you didn't. Now look here my good man. I'll give you a square meal, some advice, and some medical attention. But the rest... No, I'm the advice watcher. But I'll take you up on that square meal.

6:08Home. Yes, I'm very glad to see you all. Hello. I brought you to that filthy dinner of an equity. Oh, it's me. I want to find a friend. And I? I'm Enemy. You know, this guy is wonderful. He's completely fooled, man. But I'm afraid that the plot of his begins to penetrate it. That's why I stayed for the little rest you've seen. I'd been recognized. My life wouldn't have been worth an hour's purchase. How long did you been there? Why were you there? Come on home. Tell me all about it. It's a pleasure, old chap. But first let's find out a chophouse. I want that square meal you promised me. Oh, yes. Next, Anthony Watson. They're surprising you're good for such a shot at looking place. Well, Holmes, now perhaps you'll tell me what you were doing in that opium, Dan. I've already told you my story. I'm shadowing the most unusual criminal. An annual haunt's the opium, Dan. Yet I know that he himself is not an addict. You don't see anything with a criminal about that? You might be looking for a thriller. Perhaps he's one of those writer-fellows or something. But there's not pretend to be an addict.

7:09I watched him closely. He fixes smoking. And grease paint has enabled him to simulate the characteristic color of a drug victim. He even affects the typical mannerism of nose scratching. But it's his eyes that get him away. And the pupils are wide open. Exactly, old fellow. Whereas if you were really addicted to the drug, they would, as you know, be contacted. And I myself always treat my eyes with a special, one of the special kind of drop on the occasion when I have to enter these temples. Why does a man haunt an opium, Dan? And order not to smoke? That my dear Watson is the problem that I intend to solve. Perhaps the fellow's a policeman or private detective like yourself or him. I've already checked on this possibility. No Watson can believe that it's only one answer. I believe the man is planning a murder. A murder? To tend to be setting for a murder? Your victim is an addict. Grubbed and hopeless. Your witness is. And are in an equal state at the settlement. The proprietor is anxious to cover off the crime because of the police. That's your... Yes, sir. Now the question is, who is the intent of victim? Let my dear Watson is why I've been shadowing this man. Unfortunately, we're not present in the den.

8:11We just left. But I intend to continue my search. Holmes, uh... Can I help you? My wife's away. No. You know, it's a long time since we were on a case. I should have delighted my dear chap. I've missed you sadly during the past few months. And are you Holmes? What's the next move? That debacle, sweetheart, or hello? My disguise is wedding, thin, and I must contrive a new one. You disguise, eh? Well, which one should it be? What's the... How about the old flask seller? I love that one. Well, it's... Pretty much... Pretty much... Pretty much... Oh, no, no, no, my dear, but no hearted appropriate. Pretty opium dinner, in any case, the clothes. There's a rich adian come to me. Well, how about the musicals? Oh, that's a very chebious one. Oh, we don't want to be designed the same side. Everybody wants to be designed the same side. Everybody wants to be designed the same. Hello, I don't want to spell along the front, front, from where the brass band plays, Tidley-Em. Oh, God, found it. Who can that be? What exactly in the world? No. For this is just like the old days.

9:12The doorbell ringing, which has had some tuddling off, and bringing up some poor devil in trouble. And the bottle's flail, fellow. Don't tell me that you were a pinch of marriage? No, of course, on her own. Mary's a perfect darling, and I couldn't be happier. Just the same. Is well a fun to be back here again. Come in. Yes, Mr. Thompson? It's a gentleman, sir. He gave me this card. This is very anxious to see you. Wayne J. Layton, president, Layton Corporation, Chicago, United States. Ask him to come up, William. Mr. Thompson? Hi, sir. Well, it's quite the cold times to see you back here, Doctor. Well, just when I was saying myself, Mr. Thompson, Mr. Layton has scribbled a message on the book of his card. If a thousand pounds for a week's work interests, you will see me. A thousand pounds. Big kiss, Watson. Very big kiss. This way, sir. Thank you. Oh. How do you do? Mr. Layton? I guess you'll share like Holmes. You guessed correctly, sir. Excuse me. Oh, this is Hatsune.

10:12This moment, Mr. Hatsune. Hi, Mr. Holmes. Sit down, Mr. Layton. My name is Watson. Doctor Watson. I'm Sherlock Holmes' colleague. Yes, I've heard about you, too. Like a cigar doctor, it's a good one. So be back for your shillings. Three shillings? Okay. That's very nice. Just a little while. Three shillings, Mr. Hatsune. It's better than I'm still making. May I ask what brings you here? I'll talk fast into the point. I'm a businessman. I don't do things in a business way. I have a chance to control the Guano to buzzes the Republic of San Pedro. Their minister will be in London tomorrow. And if it weren't for one thing, I know that I could swing the deal and get the concession. And what is that one thing, Mr. Layton? The deal is secrecy. I thought no one knew about it. But when I got here, I found out that my biggest business rival has gotten wind of what's going on. He's an angel. I never met him, but he's right here in London. Now, I'm not going to tell you his name. Not until you give me your word, but you'll work for me. Just what you wish me to do, Mr. Layton. Get this rival of mine and keep him out of circulation for a week. I don't care how you do it, I won't ask. Which time I'll give you the other half of this 500 pounds I brought with me?

11:13Good Scott, what kind of question? I'll watch him do it. Mr. Layton, his hat and gloves. That's it. Thanks, old fellow. Goodbye, sir. What are you doing throwing me out? I can't think of you getting the impression that I indulged in kidnapping. Once again, goodbye, sir. And here's how you can take back your cigar. And if you don't want to miss him, I'm not sure if I find someone else it does. This is the last you'll see of me, Mr. Holmes. Life is full of little consolations. People seem to think that money can work. If I change the putt, Mr. Layton is the knife in seeking. The man who pretends to be an opium smoker. Wild bays that you let him get away. Here, I'll go after him. No, no, no, no, don't worry. I've already arranged for that. Oh, huh. When I left the room, just now, to talk to Mrs. Hudson, I was intending to tell her to summon some of my band of street urchins. You know the biggest street of regulars. When she informed me that Harvard does not them, we're in the kitchen at this very moment. By taking a one of her uncomfortable, stinking, he applies, the rest should be obvious. The reference touches the line of them to shout it to Layton when he left her. Elemental, my dear Watson. Oh, don't tell me that Layton back again. No, I think not. I should say that the moment he's just back from the front door,

12:15no, I think people have another visitor. And judging by the commotion, the incoming and the outgoing visitors know each other and are not on the best terms. Sounds to me as if they're having a fight. Come to Mrs. Hudson to tell us about it. Come in, come in. Mr. Holmes, you've got another visitor. So I gathered. Mrs. Hudson, you gave my instructions to one of the boys. I did that, sir. Young Wiggins was going to follow the gentleman. Mrs. Hudson, what was all that commotion about downstairs, is that? It was a two gentleman shouting to each other, him that was Leyvin and the one that was sweet and the doorstep. Who is on you, visitor? Mrs. Hudson. He is his cat. Oh, thank you. Linton, some day nine-dollar grape sqrera. Well, asking to come up, will you, Mrs. Hudson? Very well, Mr. Holmes. One thing more. Yes, sir. A priest instruct another of the baker's preachy regulars to follow this Linton chumble when he leaves here and report to me. All right. You're taking no chum, sir. You're having this follow shadow too. Leyvin is a potential murderer.

13:16Now that I'm convinced, this Mr. Chumble, am I possibly the reason intended victim? Well, we are talking to him, what's now, below I want you to be sure to look at the condition of his eyes. What's the worst? Come in. Oh, good evening, Mr. Chumble. Why, Mr. Chumble? I am. This is my colleague Dr. Watson. How do you do, sir? That was Wayne Linton that was just left here, wasn't it? I want to sit down, sir. Thank you. I don't want to sit down. All right. You need to answer my question, but I know it was, Linton. I've not met him, but I've seen his picture of the newspapers. Very well, sir. It was, Wayne Linton. Ah, I know why he came to you. He's trying to have me put out of the way, while he closes that deal on the San Peter and Guana concession. Now, look here, Holmes. You've got to be on my side. Whatever he offered you to dispose of me, I'll double it. If you will take care of him for a few days. Oh, dear me, this is becoming monotonous. What's the Hatton gloves? Thank you, Linton. That's fine. Good night, Mr. Chumble. Look here, Holmes. I'll trouble his fee. I'll part-groupally. My adjana, Mr. Chumble, I have accepted no fee from Mr. Linton.

14:18I don't prefer to accept one from you. You're Hatton gloves, sir? That man is out to kill me, Holmes. Well, if you won't help me, I'll go for the pulley. That's an excellent idea, Mr. Chumble. Again, good night. Did you notice his eyes? What's near? If the pupils were contracted, he's obviously an o-field landing and also a potential corpse. What do we do now? Wait for the arigulas to report. No, you'll return home for your medical bag. I have a feeling that you'll need it before the magic is out. Then come back here. I've gone before your return. I'll send one of your regulars to bring you to wherever I may be. Wait until you receive a message from him. On your way, old chap, there's work ahead of us. That's so fun. I'll save him from death. Hopefully, it doesn't take you any time for us to cross you. I'm fired. My name is Joe B Isa. Mr. Wu is a military officer. Just a simple许ning officer and this mysterious boss One of them who all over, your family sizes off the roof is broken, you've called up a clean-样 operator, and very lucky, Sir Monsorship me around my life.

15:19There was a request that he'd come all the way, but you meant him to really hit me, so you're supposed toκεf yourself, If you cover your... You miss it? My feet has something awful and I did a bite of food all the way. So you tell me, you've come for a minute, I've got the benefit, you'll make up, isn't that convincing? You hardly look like a woman and nobody's nose could be quite as red as that. Don't look like a woman, don't you? No, just red, is this a fake bag? No, it's still your bag. I'm just planning to put our woman in a surprise for me. I... sorry, Madam, I... I didn't mean to do this, so... Where, Mady, you get me a bit of work for, right, didn't you? Yeah, books, your ears. I know this thing about you, my friend. And then how long have you brought your ship at this time of night? Because I know the sailor Watson. Get some of these surrounds. Oh, like heaven's homes. I wish you... You wouldn't confuse me like this. I'd never recognize you. I do, Watson, when you're able to recognize me, indeed, be the king of the end. When your eagle eye penetrates my disguise, I shall realize that my retirement is imminent.

16:20But enough of this. See that house opposite? You mean the ramshackle place with the broken tile roof? Yes, I gave you regular instructions to let me know at once. If our two quarries ever enter the same house at the one time, then inside there now, I'm going in after them. Be careful, Holmes, I better come along with you. God, I can't do this to you, Miss Doraultz. Certainly not. We'll keep watch out, tried. If I need any help, I'll smash one of the windows, and then you can come in after me. Wait here for me. I don't expect I'll be very long. I'll be here, Holmes. Don't worry about me. Just take good care of yourself. It's one o'clock, Doctor. I know, Wiggins. He's been in there half an hour. I'm beginning to get worried. Start going off. No, no, Wiggins. You know Mr. Holmes? When he gives orders, he likes to... They have a feeling for help. Keep watching the house, Wiggins. They are two five minutes. Don't look please. Watch out. All right, Holmes, all right. Thanks, Hally. You have searched my house from basement to attic. Why didn't you give up? I'll tell you what gain there has been no one here tonight.

17:20A friend came in here half an hour ago, I saw him, and before that two other men had known to have come in here. Yeah. If that is sold and where are they? Freeman cannot run it. That's just the point you scondrel. Out of the way, I'm going to search this public inn. I'm not leaving here until I find Mr. Chela Holmes. [♪ BELL RINGS, MUSIC PLAYING [♪ You'll hear the rest of Dr. Watson's story in just a second. And if you don't mind, I'll pick that second to say just one word to the ladies. And that word is muscatel. Petri, California muscatel. I want you women to know about it because petri muscatel is one wine that practically every woman likes. Maybe because it's such a beautiful color, like pale gold.

18:24But I guess really, because petri muscatel brings you the wonderful flavor of luscious, sunrhyphen muscat grapes. And that's a flavor. Try petri muscatel after dinner, or anytime, as it comes from petri port. Remember, if it's a petri wine, you know it's a good wine. [♪ BELL RINGS, MUSIC PLAYING [♪ And now back to Dr. Watson and tonight's story, the eyes of Mr. Layton. Well, what happened next, doctor? When you searched the house for the second time, did you find any trace of Sherlock Holmes or the two rival businessmen? I was told I'm afraid I didn't. What did you do? I told Wiggins to report the matter to the nearest police station and then rattle back to Baker Street at a handsome cab as fast as I could. When I arrived at the old familiar doorstep, I wrenched at the bell in a frenzy of anxiety. Finally, the door opened. And there stood Mr. Hudson. Doctor Watson, what's it, sir? Why, your ass-white is a ghost.

19:25Mr. Holmes, is he here? I said come in half an hour ago. He was Mr. Sela and was half carrying some drunken friend of him. Oh, thank him. He's safe. I'll go out. All right, sir. Now, what's not yet? There you are. Holmes, I can't tell you how glad I am to see you. Who's that lying on the sofa? Well, I'll be back, Watson. Well, I'm afraid the poor devil's done for. Good. Scott, it's Wayne Layton, the American fella. Well, the knife wound between his ribs. See what you can do for him, will you? All right. This is extraordinary, Holmes. You said that Layton was a potential murderer. And now he's a victim himself. And a bite of bitch, now, Chef? Yes, he's still breathing. He hasn't a child. A time as an injection of stikney. Holmes, how did you get his body out of the house? I searched the place from top to bottom. I found no trace of any of it. When I went in, I found the stabbing it already taking place. For part, I then brightened me, all rather than Brooke Domsenny. Took me for it to smuggle the body out

20:26to the secret stairway, leading to the walls of the back of the house. No trace of chum-era? No, he must have left before he but the same exit. Well, then you smashed the window and bought it. Yes, I knew that I could count on you to throw the forth while I was getting the body away. Ah, mm-hmm. I'd say something, Watson. You see, Jackson's beginning to take effect. Yes, Mr. Layton? What are you trying to say? Tell us who stabbed you for? Lips and moving. Lips and moving. Lips and moving. Lips and moving. Lips and moving. Lips and moving. Ah! He's dead, Holmes. Yes, he gave us the plute murderous identity. Ah, the word he mumbled just before he died. Son, it to me as if he said, and then... Recyccio, fellow. Never did it corpse, he was a clear instruction. So I'm next to final move. And that is? Sector, I'm house, Watson. Sector, I'm house.

21:29Ah, here we are. This is the place. What's this? Another opium down? Yes, I knew it since Tamler refrained from smoking early on in the night, in order to keep his faculties alert for murder, that an enormous reaction would set in. That time to den, at once, and beyond question a different one from that in which the murder was committed. Well, you know that he's inside here. What's it just before you return to Baker Street tonight? I had a message from one of my regulars. He tacked in here after he escaped from the scene of a stabbing. A couple of hours ago, he might have slipped away again. Oh, what since night he came to drown his senses with a wretched drive here? Come on. Er, that second injection of caffeine should bring him around. He's heavily drugged, but I think it'll work. Fising at a five-pound note will do, isn't it? Yes, he'll prepare to let us bring Chumley into his private room. And he's coming too.

22:30Who? Who are you? Who? What do you want? You remember me, sir? You shall not come. Yes, yes, I remember you. You're in serious trouble, Mr. Chumley. Very serious trouble. Trouble? What? What trouble? Wayne Layton didn't die. If that they wounded, he's going to live. He's at Baker Street now. He wants to go to the police and give evidence. You've got to get me out of this home, sir. I'll pay you anything at 10,000, 20,000. I need you, Stabley. He was in my way. I wanted the San Pedro confession. I meant to kill him, but we can fix it up now. Can't we homes? We can fix it up now. We can fix it, beautiful, sir. As Naked American fashioners ever, I listen to her. Exactly. Come along, Mr. Chumley. I think some night air will be good for you. We'll take you for a nice drive to Scotland Yard.

23:39Ah, brought you some kippas, beautiful man. You've boss been up all night, and I'm sure you can do it. It's very thoughtful of you, Mrs. Huffington. Indeed it is. What is Mrs. Watts going to say when she finds you being out all night? You worry about that, Mrs. Huffington. She's very understanding. It's lucky for you that she is. Well, I'll do it, leave it here, great, sir. Holmes, Mr. Pillar, is there any one thing that puzzles me about this case? I want that. When Laten was dying, he muttered the word Mendelay. How did that give you the key to the murder's identity? No. The dead of American had never met Mr. Chumley, you remember? I accept them they've bumped into each other in our hallway. Yes, he told us that he recognized him from the newspaper photograph. Being an American, he had no reason to know that the name Chumley is in no way pronounced. The way it is. I'll tell you another thought of that. Chumley. That name spelt CHOL. M-O-N-M-N-D-E-D-E-L-E-Y. Chol-Mondelay. Mondelay.

24:40Precisely. What you thought of the name of the name of the murderer? Amazing case. You did it a markable job, Holmes. I'm beginning to be confundently sleeping. Why not sleep, old chap? Your old one's already for you. You take an half? Oh, you mean no. I have much too busy today ahead of me. Let me look at my engagement book. Extra square murder. I put the police on the track. The Duchess of Ferras. Not a gother material. The princess was about to run away from home. Good gracious me, little run. The pub's cameos. Ah, yes, yes. His holiness must not be kept waiting. Can I help you again, Holmes? It may or doesn't. Until tomorrow. Well, I thought you were sleepy, old fellow. Sleepy rubbish. I never felt more wide awake in my life. Oh.

25:43That was a swell story, don't I? I was really excited. And that was really funny when you mistook that old lady for Holmes and she slapped your face. It was a funny talk. I sure it was. Come on, admit it, doctor. Oh, no, she just looked like Holmes in disguise. You know, and you would have made the same mistake, did I? Okay, okay. I know, his voice was dicknessy red and she did look like a man. Oh, look, doctor, forget I ever said anything. I won't say another word. I'll keep my mouth closed forever. Oh, come on, I wouldn't do that. Mr. Bartel? Mr. Bartel? I won't you even open your mouth to finish your wine? Your, your petri wine? Okay, you win. You know, I'll open my mouth for petri wine any time. That petri wine is always good wine. And for good reason, too. The petri family has always owned and operated the petri business. They've been making fine wines for three generations since way back in the 1800s. That adds up to a lot of experience. Experience handed on down from father to son, from father to son.

26:44The petri family really knows how to turn luscious California grapes into fragrant, delicious wine. And that's why, no matter what kind of wine you want, I'm sure you like it better if it's a petri wine. Because petri took time to bring you good wine. And now, Dr. Watson, what story can I tell you? Well, now next week, Mr. Bartel, I'm going to tell you a most unusual adventure that Holmes and I had in the heart of the English countryside. It concerns a cop's, a missing revolver, and a beautiful girl who was frightened their own shadow. The Night Sherlock Holmes adventure is written by Dennis Green, an Anthony Boucher, and is based on an incident in the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle story, the man with a twisted lip. Mr. Rathbone appears through the courtesy of Metro Goldland Mayor, and Mr. Bruce, through the courtesy of Universal Pictures, where they are now starring in the Sherlock Holmes series.

27:50The petri wine company of San Francisco, California, invites you to tune in again next week, same time, same station. Oh, the petri family took the time to bring you good wine. So when you eat and when you cook, remember petri wine. To make good food tastes better, remember? Petri wine. This is Harry Bartel, saying good night for the petri family. Sherlock Holmes comes to you from our Hollywood studios. This is the mutual award casting system.
