Sherlock Holmes - The Priory School

0:00I found him. Oh, well done, Buckson. You mean there's been an accident, huh? Here he is. Oh, but this is no accident, Buck. I'm going to take a terrible blow to crush a man's skull, as his... The porcelain has been brutally murdered. My medical training had given me some preparation for the many faces of death. There were several investigations with my friend Sherlock Holmes. I had reason to be grateful. My name is Watson, Dr. Watson, so often privileged to share the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. I will tell you what happened in the case of the Prairie School. We had some dramatic incidents in the next one, our small stage,

1:03a two-to-one-B-Baker street, Sherlock Holmes and I, but I can't recollect any of his sudden and stocking, as the first appearance of Dr. Thonicop, Huxwell, M-A, Ph.D., etc., etc. His cards seem too small to get at a weight with academic distinctions, but he himself was large and pompous, he embodied my position in solidity. But this impression lasts a little longer than his greedishness. How do you do, Getsleman? I am bitter. Good luck. Good luck, Christ, Heaven's Hose. Let's see. Well, the old remedy is a thing here. Brandy and Walter again? Great believe it is, you're just a tricky master's miss. Oh, I do. Ah, he's beginning to serve. Return ticket from Mattelton to his watch pocket, that's a menor, he must've started out early. There he is. What's coming around? Let me curious with you what's new.

2:03Oh, Mr. Holmes, do forgive this weakness. Oh, it's nothing, Dr. Thonicop. Yeah, let me help you into this chair. Ah, ah, Zegko, you are very kind. Ah, you are, sir. Oh, Mr. Holmes, he's absolutely imperative that you come back to Mattelton with me by the next train. I'm afraid that's quite out of the question. Mr. Holmes, have you heard nothing of the abduction of the Duke of Holdeners' son, Holdeners? The former cabinet minister? Exactly so. The Duke of Holdeners committed his own son, young Lord Sulfah to my charge. But it was it I know, he was the very one of the most corrupt scenes of fortune in my life. I go on with the other account, Dr. Haxtonov. And of course, well, the boy arrived on May 1st, a charming youths, but I went out to city far from Hepi at home. I was very separated to learn not long before the boy came to me.

3:04Yes, I remember that the Duke is going to live in the southern France in him. And that is so. The boy is sympathious, we're very much with her, I gather, but he had to remain with his father. Anyway, he settled down to Paris once. That's good then. Yes, well, he was found to be busy first in last Tuesday morning. His bed had been set in and he obviously got dressed in his usual school suit. When the alarm was raised, I had once called a role of the whole establishment. Boys, masters and servants, it prevailed, but Lord Sulfah hadn't disappeared alone. No, no. Hi, Diga, the German art master was missing also. His bed had also been slept in, but he seemed to have gone away partly dressed. A shirt and socks were lying on the floor. His bicycle was missing from the head. Surely there's an official investigation for it? Yes, no only locally. It has moved completely to the supply chain so far. The whole affair has been handled properly. I quite agree, sir, but I am not to blame.

4:05I knew a nor reputation of wanting to come here, but his grace would not countenance it. Actually, holding this hall is quite close to the Paris school, and at first we all thought that the buyers have gone there. Some who suddenly rush to homesickness, you know. It does happen. But the Duke was as surprised as we were when he heard the news. Had the buyer bicycle? No. Was any bicycle missing other than the Germans? No, no. Not, I see. Did anyone call to see the boy on the day before he disappeared? No. Did he get any letter? Yes. He did get one letter from his father. I do not know. I do not know. The coat of arms on the envelope and his graces and writing. It is easily better, nicer work. Have the boy ever had a letter from France? From France. Why? No. I should have remembered that. He was sent out of the boy's sympathies with his mother. Who told you that? I had a confidence to talk with his gracious secretary, Mr. James Wilder. I see. Mr. Holmes, I should have to be giving for you, student.

5:06I must get back to the school if it's time like this, you understand? We shall be leaving for Houston, Dr. Hustleville. Ah, Captain. You, I and my friend Watson here. This case of the Paris School has some singular features. Yet, it should be capable of a solution. If the sent isn't too cold or round your door, Dr. Hustleville, perhaps two old pounds like Watson and myself may get along. Gentlemen, this is the Paris School. Ah, Robert's, he's gentleman, the cooks, the people. Very well, Dr. Hustleville's there. Sir? Yes. The Duke is here, sir. Oh. His grace is in the study and Mr. Wilder's with him, sir. His name's Robert. Oh, sir. Oh, who should you have me in? I must see them without today. Come, gentlemen, and I will introduce you to one. Oh, you're right. Come, I'll be. Oh, great evening, your grace. Good evening, Hashtagal. May I introduce Mr. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.

6:08Your grace, how do you know? And Mr. Wilder's grace is sacred. How do you know? Dr. Hustleville, I called on you this morning to late to prevent you from starting the London. His grace was very surprised to learn that your object was to invite Mr. Holmes to undertake this case. Oh, my God. You are well aware, Dr. Hustleville, that his grace is particularly anxious to avoid all public scandal. He prefers to take as few people as possible into his confidence. Oh, yeah. You're gracious. I have done wise that you can self-made up the act of the rule, but since Mr. Holmes has already been taking into your confidence, it would be absurd for us not to avail ourselves of his service. I thank your grace. May I ask whether you have formed any explanation as to your son's discipline? No, sir, I have not. I have forgiven you for asking this, but do you think her grace had anything to do with it? I do not think, sir. The other, most obvious explanation, is that he's been kidnapped. Have you received any demand for ransom? No, sir. Your grace, your son received a letter from you on the day the sensitive occurred.

7:08Was there anything in it which might have induced him to run away from him? No, sir. That certainly was not. Did you first tell that to yourself? I beg your pardon. Mr. Holmes, his grace is not an habit of firsting letters himself. This one was led with others on the study table from each point into the post bag. I see. You remember seeing this particular letter, Mr. Wanda. I do. How many letters did your grace write that day, ma'am? Oh, it turns you off 30, as opposed to having a large correspondence. But surely all this is rather irrelevant, not entirely. For my pardon, Mr. Holmes, I have advised the police to turn their attention to the size of France. The lad had the most wrong-headed opinions about some things, and it is possible he might have led to my wife, and that this German has helped him. A large gentleman, good day to all. This case, though, is upon me, wasn't it? Certainly mysterious, all right. But I want a two-year graphical teacher that I'd like to equate you with. Oh, me, in. I can't tell you this large scale ordinance, ma'am. The care.

8:09This dark square, eh? Here is the primary school. Here is the main road running east and west past it. Now, by a heavy chance, quite able to check what passed along this road during the night in question. At this point to the east, where my pipes lie, a considerable of a zone of beauty from 12 to 6. He's positive, the man and boy could not have passed without him seeing them. Good. Well, what about the other direction? Down the road to the west. Here is the red ball. Now, on that night, the land lady was ill. She sent a mackerelkin for a doctor, but he was out on my mother's case, and he didn't get to answer all morning. The people at the end were worried. And they swear that one or another of them was on the alert, or might continually looking along the road, waiting to see the doctor coming. They saw no man or boy. But it was burning me when it caused country. Oh, but what about the buscane? A good cyclist doesn't need a road, does he? Well, a road, he doesn't. Very well. Then assuming that the cycle was used and not along the road, this is the only possible direction.

9:10To the north. Yeah. Across this moorland. It intersects with paths and is vastly populated. To the south. Yeah, towards me. There are obstacles, thermals and so on. No. They would take to the moor. Seems like it is them. So it's the moor. We must search. More than them. Yes. Our way to Raleigh, we should have a long day. Hey, David. Hello. Hello, hello. What have we here? Have you found something home? Oh, nice. Yes. Perfect. Bicycle, Tom. Oh, but we don't know whether it's the bicycle or the way. I am familiar with 42 different impressions left by tyres. From what the other master could tell me this was the make of tyre high-digger head on his machine. And the rider was travelling away from the practice hall. I don't know anything until then. Simple. Just look at these impressions. Some are deeper than others in the south-ground.

10:10Obviously the deeper others of the rear wheel with all the riders weight on it. You can see several faces where they pass over the shadow of ones. So then let us follow and see what else we may find. Hello. Over here. I found him. High-digger. Oh, well done, Watson. Yes, it's been an accident. It is endless what the bicycle wheel is ginting through these bushes. Here he is. Look, but this is no accident, Watson. The poor fellow has been brutally murdered. The body and the bicycle conceal here. Oh, there is no doubt that this is high-digger. Well, he fits all the descriptions I've had to take a terrible blow to crush a man's skull like this. Now, he threw a coat on every night things and put on his shoes, but not his socks. But the boy that told us fully dressed when he disappeared. Look, is there the German head around Grigorne?

11:11Exactly. And why? Because he looked at his bedroom window and saw the boy leading. I see. He threw on these things and set off after him. Why on a bicycle? Surely he could have caught him on foot. No. No, the boy was moving too quickly for him. Well, let us continue our reconstruction. Where we are now is from five miles through the school. At this point, the pursuer met his death. And how? By a great blow, hard enough and vicious enough to crush his skull. A ten-year-old boy couldn't have done that. And the boy did have some of them with him. Almost certainly. But we're forgetting one thing once. More so? We've searched, minutely, around the body, and have we found the pack of any other bicycle than this? No, no, you can't mention it. We haven't. Or any foot print? No, no, no, no, no. Just cows hoof marks all over the place. I thought we were getting on too well. I said, look, there's a fellow cutting peat about half a mile back. We must send him off with a message to the police about his unfortunate German. Then there's nothing for us on the fade, but to go on in the direction the cycle tracks were heading.

12:13And see where it leads to. If anywhere. Well, I was never so glad, Steery, in my head a bit. I've been trying to agree with you ourselves. The fighting cop from the Leipzig side. And using the squirm, you never really let those things go. Oh! I say, I don't know, Samela. So I'll be lame, will you? I must have twisted my ankle. Oh, for sure. You all right, the minute you're superhead. Oh, I think we'll be able to get in doors. Yeah, come on, take my arm. Oh, thank you. Ah, this must be the lens on. So the help is cool, look, look, stay with the needle. Today, Mr. Rubin, I suppose you haven't such a thing as a carriage in your stable. No, I have not. Well, you get my name so bad. I'm not a little bit of a man. I'm not a little bit of a man. I'm not a little bit of a man. I'm not a little bit of a man. I'm not a little bit of a man. I'm not a little bit of a man. I'm not a little bit of a man. I'm not a little bit of a man. Oh, I already got my name so bad. It's printed on the board about your head. Oh, by the way, I twisted my hexals just up the road there.

13:16I can hardly put my foot to the ground. Don't put it a ground, babe. But I can't walk. Well, then, off. I, I could just manage a bicycle. One foot, I think. I pay a sovereign the house. Where do you want to go? To Hozendale's Fort. Oh? Are you pals of the Duke Lentz? Well, we have news of his son, for them. You're looking for the Ladiah. We were. We were, but he's been seen. Where? In Liverpool. They expected it in any time now. Oh, well, that's good news, then. Now, surely you can have my friend in some way. He can't walk on like this. Ah, I happen to come. You've got a bicycle, friend? No, I haven't got no bicycle. I'll tell you what, though. I'll let you have two horses to take you as far as the horse. It's only a couple of miles. Capital. And now I think we'll have something to eat if you visit, can we? I, Gents, first door on the left, as you go in. I just go and see what I can find, please. Thank you all. So, come on, have. Be no meers. And the wheelchair, I thank you.

14:19Here we are. Good. And thank you for your comfort and aid, once in a time. Me? My ankle is that already, dear, since today? Oh, ho, ho. Her hooves won. Game with you up to now. Like a swan, that was a very nasty spray. Well, I thought if I let him, Lord, had a bicycle, I should like to have a look at it. All he seems to have is a couple of horses. Watson? What? Cows, Watson? Cows. Did you see any on the moor? No, no, I didn't. Lord, did I? Well, then. But there were hoof marks all over the place by high-degover's killed. That's right. I thought of the time when a bus have cows milling around, but you never know where a cow hoof marks, wouldn't it? Oh, yes. Quickly, Watson, the forty-hums back, we must knit round to his tables and see what we can see from his table. Why don't? I don't get about the limps though, Holmes. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. No more steaks, he's here to harvest. You mean, sheggies and brutes? Let's have a look at his hooves, you know.

15:20Eddie? Yes, Eddie. Yes, yes, yes. Yes. Oh. Cows. Cows. Cows. Cows. 약 Drum Const as a All right, Mr. Hayes. No harm, then. We've been having a look at your forces, but I think I'll try to walk after all. It's not five, I believe. What? We were getting warm at that end, as the children say. We get colder every step. We take away from it. No. No, I can't possibly leave it. I must take another look at the place in a less obtrusive way. All right. Up on the fence. Well, true, I think. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. That's better.

16:22Hello. What have you seen? There's a fellow on the bicycle coming from the direction of the hall. Yeah, he's moving, too. Get down behind this brown bar. I can go. Ow! Let's see which is. It's Duke's victory, Wanda. So it is. Come on, Linda. Let's see what he's up to. Bicycle, give him back the countryside. We shall see him in the door, Froome. I'm not getting dark. I have noticed. Oh. They just lit the lamp in that first floor room. I think we'll hold on here until it's dark enough to go down and take a really kiss. I can't understand all these rifles and departures. First, while they're on his bicycle, and then a pony trap rushes off towards just a few. And then the other gavards off here to be eaten.

17:23Hmm. What's the matter? I want to take a peek before that first floor window. Do you think you could make a bag for me? I don't know. All right. Up your move. Right. Shitty. Just a minute. Well, Holmes. Come along, Watson. I think we've gathered all the speakers tonight. I'm a telegraph to Chesterfield, and tomorrow morning, I think you'll pay a visit to her and there's more. Good morning, Mr. Wilder. Dr. Watson and I have come to his grave. Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Holmes. His grave is far from well. He's been very much upset by the tragic news yesterday about Heidegger. The Dr. Huxable telegraphed once. I understand, but I must heed the Duke, Mr. Wilder. Where, Mr. Holmes, what can I do for you? Your grace, I think I could speak more freely in Mr. Wilder's absence, sir. Then he had better go as your grace wishes. The answer, Holmes. Your grace, your son is at the fighting cup in about two miles from your park gates.

18:25The fighting cock. Yes. And whom do you accuse? I accuse him. And whom do you accuse? I accuse you, your grace. I looked through a window there last night and saw you and your son together. Yes, Mr. Holmes. I offered a substantial reward to the person whose information should restore my son's affair. If this need go no further than your friend here and yourself, I am ready to write a check for double the sum. There is a man's death to their country, sir. Sure, a man cannot be condemned from murder, but he was not present. He's qualified to hear of it. I take each of words of the fighter, Mr. James Wilder. Yes, sir. And that he is not the murderer. No, the murderer. He's got tears, I know. Mr. Rubin Hayes, landlord of the fighting cock, was arrested at Chesterfield on my information at 11 o'clock last night. Hayes caught? And I'm very glad to know it, sir. And now we must give our attention to what can be done to extricate my son from this situation.

19:28Oh, Lord, so tired, perfectly safe now. I mean, my son James. James Wilder. No secret. No, sir, my son. Oh, gracious, I didn't say that. Your grace, I must ask you to be more explicit. Mr. Holmes, I will conceal nothing from you. Bring I was young. I loved, but such a love has come only once in a lifetime. I offered the lady marriage, but she refused because such a match, my crew, ruined my career. She died, leaving me with this child, James. I see. I couldn't open the acknowledges relationship to me, so I tried to make it up to him by giving the best of education and keeping him as close to me as I could. Yes, but he found out my secret ever since. He's held over me his power to provoke a scandal at any time. He was also in order to generate some energy to my son and heir, indeed, he hates him. That is why I said, Arthur, I'm Lord Sotar, what I thought was the safety of Dr. Hexthibault's primary school. Your grace, I think I can continue the story now.

20:28Will you permit me? Of course. You wrote to Lord Sotar the day before he was kidnapped, but James was an inserted into your letter and note asking the boy to meet him behind the school late that night. He probably said he had a message from the Duchess for him. How could you know this? I assume it. In detail, it may not be quite precise, in general, I'm sure it is. Gregor on the note, Holmes. Lord Sotar came to the appointment and found the accomplice, Rubin Hayes, there with the pony. He was supposed to mount and they went off across the moor. It appears however that the German master hiding and saw the boy leave and followed him on his bicycle. When he caught up with him, Hayes killed him brutally. Hayes then took our son on to his inn where the boy has been a prisoner ever since. Well, I don't know how you arrive at all that about the pony and the bike students on. Oh, the whole story was written plainly on the surface of the moor for us to read. Wasn't it worth it? So a Marx and facts, one kind of an unknown, I'm hanging around and see how they all come into it. Those cows, friends, cows.

21:28Cows? What's the real yes, Holmes? You remember the Marx there, who saw around where we found the boy? Cows on the moor, if we take it from names to Holmes, no cows are on that moor. No, ever have been to my knowledge. I quite have been. You've raised me an aftertooled Chinese vernacular for us. Well, James was quite unnerved by the death of the German master. He felt never after was held, but big made a secret until he could find a way of well carrying everything up. You agree? On condition that I should be able to go and see Arthur for myself after nightfall. James once rode off on his bicycle to tell, hey, I asked, stop to walk in the nice or him at the inn. He's lost no time in making off in his craft. I went there sometime afterwards and I gather you saw me with my son, just a... Holmes, Holmes, I've told you all I can. I've been frank with you. Please be as frank with me. I will. In the first place you have raised, I'm going to tell you that you've condoned up felony and aided the escape of a murderer. I'm ready to take all the cons cons.

22:28Oh, I'm not here in a nutritional position. And there's no reason so long as the ends of justice are served. Why I should disclose all I know. Hays will be hanged, never doubt that. As your son, James, I would warn you, Grace, that his continued presence in your household can only lead to misfortune. I understand that, Mr. Holmes, as you've already settled, as he sure will seek his fortune in Australia. Then my friend Watson and I can congratulate ourselves upon several happy results from our little visit to the North. Yes, new home. Mr. Holmes, here is your check. Thank you, young Grace. But the whole you go, what was all that about cows and the moors? Yes, Holmes, I want to know that too. The answer is behind you, sir. I'm afraid I didn't quite follow. This glass case and the most interesting of all the exhibits inside. Oh, those. Yes, of course. Yes, they were dug up in the bed of the moats some years ago. What are they, young Grace? Oh, there's a person who'd been used by some of them a rauding bern for holding it in the mid-leages.

23:30They are catching from to the horses' hooves. You see, they're shaped below with a cloven foot to vines. So the horses' tracks would look like cows and drove the sewers off the scene. I suggest your Grace, you examine them closely. At hence, you'll find a few places of very recent mud if you run your finger long enough. Yes, it's the second most interesting object that I've seen in the moment. No, and the first, this check you gave me. You see, I am a poor, your Grace. The prairie school was one of the stories of Sherlock Holmes written by Sir Arthur Cundoy. My real name is Norman Schett. My friend Carlton Hobbs stayed Sherlock Holmes and I was documents.

24:31Michael Hobbick wrote the script for this BBC production from London. He'd say I look forward to the pleasure of your company again and soon for more of the adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
