Arthur Conandyke The00:00:27
Mystery of the Boscombe Valley00:00:33
One morning while my wife and I00:00:36
were having breakfast, the maid gave me00:00:39
a telegram from Sherlock Holmes,00:00:42
can you be free for two days,00:00:45
called to the west of England, connections of the tragedy of the00:00:48
Boscombe Valley, I will be glad if00:00:51
you join me air landscape00:00:54
Magnificent,00:00:55
leave Paddington 11-15 will00:01:00
you go, my00:01:01
wife asked, looking at me kindly, I00:01:06
don’t know. Now I have a lot of00:01:09
patients,00:01:13
all of them have been seen lately, you00:01:16
look tired, the trip will do you00:01:19
good and you are always so interested in00:01:22
every case that Mr. Sherlock takes on,00:01:27
my experience of camp life in Afghanistan00:01:30
had at least the advantage that00:01:34
I had become a seasoned and easy-going00:01:37
traveller,00:01:38
I had few things. So I sat down00:01:42
with my suitcase at the Cap much earlier00:01:44
than I had expected and rushed to00:01:47
Paddington station00:01:50
Sherlock Holmes entered along the platform of his00:01:54
sulfur traveling suits with a window the cap00:01:56
made his thin tall figure even00:01:59
thinner tall,00:02:03
it’s wonderful that you came from here,00:02:07
he said, it’s a completely different matter when next to00:02:11
me there’s a person you can completely00:02:13
rely on, the00:02:14
local police are either completely inactive00:02:17
or are following the wrong trail. If you00:02:21
take two corner places, I’ll follow00:02:25
tickets00:02:26
We sat down in the compartment Holmes began to read00:02:30
the newspapers that he had brought with him, sometimes00:02:33
he looked up from them to write00:02:35
something down and think about it. So00:02:38
we got to Reading, suddenly he00:02:42
swept all the papers into a huge lump and00:02:44
threw it into the luggage net. Did00:02:48
you hear anything00:02:51
he asked not a word about this matter I00:02:56
haven’t looked at the newspapers for several days The00:02:58
London press hasn’t published particularly00:03:01
detailed reports I’ve just00:03:05
looked through all the latest newspapers to00:03:07
get into the details this seems to be one00:03:11
of those simple cases that are always00:03:13
so difficult your words sound somewhat00:03:17
paradoxical00:03:19
But this the truth itself is in the unusualness, almost00:03:23
always the key to solving the Mystery The simpler00:03:27
the crime, the more difficult it is to get to00:03:30
the truth, be that as it may, in this case00:03:33
very serious charges have been brought00:03:36
against the son of the murdered person, which means it is a murder,00:03:41
but that’s what I assume, I don’t presume to00:03:45
say anything until I get acquainted with the00:03:48
case myself in a few words I will explain to you00:03:51
the state of affairs as it seems to me00:03:57
Boscombe Valley - this is a00:03:59
countryside near Ross in Herefordshire00:04:03
the largest landowner in those parts00:04:06
Mr. John Tenner he made his00:04:09
capital in Australia a few years ago he00:04:12
returned to his homeland one of his farms00:04:15
to the Hazars he let for rent to Mr.00:04:19
Charles McCarthy, also a former00:04:22
Australian, they met in the colonies00:04:25
and there was nothing strange in the fact that00:04:28
having moved to a new place00:04:30
they settled as close to each other as possible,00:04:35
the tenor was indeed richer and McCarthy00:04:38
made his tenant, but they00:04:40
apparently remained on friendly00:04:43
terms The00:04:45
McCarthys had one son, a young man of 18,00:04:51
the only daughter of the same age, and in00:04:54
both of them the old men died,00:04:58
they seemed to avoid meeting00:05:01
English families or a secluded00:05:04
lifestyle, although both McCarthys loved00:05:07
sports and often attended horse races in00:05:10
the neighborhood,00:05:17
at least that's00:05:22
all I managed to find out about00:05:25
these families now about the incident itself on00:05:30
June 3, that is, last Monday,00:05:33
McCarthy left his house in Hatherley at about00:05:36
three o'clock in the afternoon and headed to the00:05:39
Boscan pool, this is a small lake00:05:43
formed by a flooded stream that00:05:45
flows through the Boscan valley00:05:49
in the morning he drove around and told his00:05:53
servant that he is in a hurry because at three00:05:56
o'clock he has an important date00:05:58
from this date00:06:01
he did not return00:06:04
from the Hazarley farm to the Basque whirlpool a00:06:07
quarter of a mile and when he walked there he00:06:10
was seen by two people, firstly an old woman00:06:14
whose name is not mentioned in the newspapers and00:06:17
secondly William Crowder Mr. Tener's forester,00:06:22
both of these witnesses testified that Mr.00:06:25
McCarthy show One00:06:28
Forester added that shortly after the meeting00:06:31
with Mr.00:06:40
Forester claimed that he followed his00:06:43
father along the same road.00:06:46
The forester had completely forgotten about this00:06:48
meeting, but in the evening he heard about the00:06:51
tragedy that had occurred and all remembered00:06:56
both McCarthys noticed again00:06:59
after William Crowder The forester lost sight of00:07:02
them The Oscan pool is surrounded by a dense00:07:06
forest, all its banks are overgrown with reeds, the00:07:10
daughter of the gatekeeper of the Basque estate00:07:13
went with the sea, a girl of about 14 was picking00:07:17
flowers in the neighboring forest,00:07:19
she stated that she saw00:07:23
Mr. McCarthy and his son near the lake it looked00:07:27
like they were quarreling a lot, she heard the00:07:31
elder McCarthy shouting rudely at her son and00:07:34
saw how the latter swung at00:07:37
his father as if he wanted to hit him, she00:07:42
was so frightened by this terrible scene00:07:45
that she rushed home and00:07:48
told her mother that in the forest of the whirlpool, the father00:07:51
and son had started a map quarrel And that she was00:07:55
afraid that it would come to a fight,00:08:00
as soon as she said this, young00:08:03
McCarthy ran into the lodge and said that00:08:06
he had found his father dead in the forest and00:08:09
called the gatekeeper for help. He was00:08:12
very excited without a gun without a hat on00:08:16
his right hand and fresh blood stains were visible on the sleeve,00:08:22
followed by the gatekeeper. He approached the dead00:08:25
man stretched out on the grass near the00:08:27
water;00:08:29
the skull of the deceased had been crushed by the blows of00:08:32
some heavy, blunt weapon;00:08:36
such wounds could have been inflicted with the butt of a00:08:39
gun that belonged to the son, who was00:08:42
lying in the grass a few steps from the00:08:45
dead man00:08:47
under By the weight of this evidence, the young man00:08:50
was immediately arrested00:08:54
on Tuesday, the investigation returned a00:08:57
preliminary verdict of00:08:58
premeditated murder00:09:01
on Wednesday, James McCarthy appeared before the00:09:05
magistrate of Ross, who sent the00:09:08
case to trial by jury,00:09:12
these are the basic facts00:09:16
known to the investigator and the police,00:09:21
it is impossible to imagine a more00:09:23
heinous case, I noticed if00:09:27
when - circumstantial evidence00:09:30
incriminated the criminal, so this is precisely in00:09:35
this case,00:09:37
circumstantial evidence is very deceptive,00:09:41
Holmes said thoughtfully,00:09:44
they can point quite clearly in00:09:47
one direction. But if you are able to00:09:50
understand this evidence,00:09:54
you can find that in fact, it00:09:57
very often does not lead us to the truth But00:10:01
in the opposite direction,00:10:05
the truth is now the case00:10:07
has finally turned against the young man;00:10:10
the possibility cannot be ruled out that he is the00:10:15
criminal.00:10:17
However, there were people in the neighborhood and among00:10:21
them Mr. the landowner's daughter00:10:24
who believe in his innocence.00:10:28
Mr. invited the00:10:32
Lasteroid. Maybe you remember him to00:10:35
protect the defendant. Lasteroid considers the00:10:39
defense very difficult handed it to me00:10:42
22 middle-aged gentlemen are00:10:47
speeding west at 50 miles an hour instead00:10:51
of quietly eating breakfast at home I'm00:10:56
afraid I said the facts are too00:11:01
convincing you will have very00:11:04
limited chances of winning this00:11:07
case00:11:11
Nothing is as deceptive as too00:11:14
obvious facts answered Holmes laughing00:11:19
In addition, we may accidentally stumble upon00:11:22
some equally obvious facts00:11:27
that were not obvious to00:11:30
Mr. Lestrade. You know me too well00:11:34
and don’t think that this is00:11:36
boasting. I either use the evidence00:11:40
collected sharply or completely00:11:44
reject it because he himself is completely not00:11:47
in unable to use them, not00:11:51
even00:11:52
understand them,00:11:55
take at least the first example that came to my mind. It’s00:11:59
absolutely clear that in your bedroom the00:12:03
window is on the right side, but I’m far from00:12:06
sure whether Mr. Lestrade will even notice00:12:09
such an obvious fact,00:12:14
indeed,00:12:17
my dear friend. I’ve been with you for a long time I am familiar with you, I00:12:21
know the00:12:22
military neatness that distinguishes you, you00:12:27
shave every morning at this time of year00:12:29
in the sunlight, but the left side of your face is00:12:34
shaved incomparably worse00:12:37
than the right, the further to the left the worse it finally gets, it is00:12:44
quite obvious that this part of00:12:47
your face is worse lit than the other00:12:50
one I can’t imagine that a person00:12:53
with your habits would put up with a poorly00:12:55
shaved cheek looking in the mirror in00:12:59
normal lighting.00:13:02
I give this only as a simple example of00:13:05
observation and the ability to draw conclusions;00:13:08
this is my craft and it is00:13:13
quite possible that it will be useful to us in the00:13:16
upcoming investigation,00:13:19
there is one or two00:13:22
insignificant details that became00:13:25
known during the interrogation. They00:13:28
deserve attention; it turns00:13:35
out that young McCarthy was00:13:38
not arrested immediately, but a little later, when he had already00:13:42
returned to the farm,00:13:45
the police inspector told him that he00:13:48
had been arrested and he replied that this did00:13:50
not surprise him at all, since he still00:13:54
deserves punishment,00:13:58
his phrase had the effect of00:14:01
disappearing the last doubts that the00:14:04
investigator may still have had,00:14:08
it was a confession, he00:14:10
exclaimed, “I’m not,” then he declared00:14:15
his complete innocence00:14:18
after all this diabolical strong evidence,00:14:22
it sounds suspicious, on the contrary, said00:14:26
Holmes, this is the only glimpse that00:14:30
I Now I see among the clouds,00:14:33
because he cannot help but know what heavy00:14:36
suspicions are falling on him;00:14:40
if he pretended to be surprised or00:14:44
indignant at the news of the arrest,00:14:47
this would seem to me extremely00:14:51
suspicious because such00:14:53
surprise or indignation would be00:14:56
completely insincere under the00:14:59
circumstances,00:15:02
such behavior00:15:08
his ingenuous behavior at the moment of00:15:12
arrest would be evidence of his insincerity; it speaks either of his complete00:15:15
innocence;00:15:16
or, on the contrary,00:15:19
his extraordinary self-control and restraint are exposed;00:15:25
as for his answer that he00:15:28
deserves to be arrested, this is also quite00:15:30
natural if we remember that he has00:15:33
so forgotten about his filial duty00:15:35
that he was rude to his father and even as the00:15:39
girl claims, and her testimony is very important,00:15:43
he took a swing at him.00:15:46
His answer, which speaks of repentance and00:15:49
remorse,00:15:52
seems to me more a sign of non-00:15:55
depravity than proof of00:15:58
criminal intentions.00:16:01
I shook my head;00:16:03
many were hung up on the gallows, and without such00:16:06
heavy evidence, I noticed this true,00:16:11
and among them there were many innocent ones.00:16:15
What are the explanations of the young man himself,00:16:19
not particularly encouraging for his defenders,00:16:25
although there are one or two positive00:16:28
points, you will find it here, you can00:16:31
read it to yourself; he took out00:16:35
several local Hardfordshire00:16:38
newspapers from his grandmother and, turning over the page, pointed to those00:16:41
lines in which the unfortunate young00:16:43
man gives an explanation of all that00:16:45
had happened.00:16:47
I sat down in the corner of the Coupe and began00:16:50
to read carefully00:16:52
what was written there.00:16:55
Then Mr. James McCarthy00:16:59
and the only son of the deceased were called. He gave the00:17:03
following evidence.00:17:06
For three days I was not at home. I00:17:10
was in Bristol and returned just00:17:14
in the morning of last Monday, the third,00:17:17
when I arrived my father was not at home and00:17:21
the maid said that he had gone to Rhos with00:17:25
John Cob the groom,00:17:28
soon after my arrival I heard00:17:30
the creaking of the wheels of his gig and looking out of the00:17:34
window I saw that he was quickly leaving the yard00:17:37
but I didn’t know in which direction he would00:17:40
go. Then I took my gun and decided to00:17:45
walk to the Boskam whirlpool to00:17:48
inspect the wasteland. Where do rabbits live? The00:17:51
wasteland is located on the opposite00:17:55
shore of the lake.00:17:57
On the way, I met William Crowder,00:18:00
the forester,00:18:02
as he already stated in his testimony.00:18:07
However, he is mistaken, he believes that I was00:18:10
catching up with my father, it didn’t occur to me00:18:13
that my father was walking ahead of me when I was00:18:18
about 100 steps away. That’s why I00:18:20
heard Cole’s cry, which my father and I00:18:24
usually called each other, I immediately ran00:18:28
forward and saw that he was standing right next to the00:18:31
pool.00:18:33
apparently he was very surprised when he noticed00:18:36
me and asked quite rudely why am I00:18:40
here00:18:41
the conversation reached very harsh expressions,00:18:45
almost to a fight because my Father00:18:48
was an00:18:49
extremely hot-tempered man, you see that his Fury is00:18:53
indomitable, I chose to leave him and00:18:57
headed to the Khazarian farm00:19:00
did not pass Not even one hundred and fifty steps away, I heard00:19:04
behind me a chilling scream00:19:07
that made me run back again.00:19:12
I saw my father stretched out on the ground,00:19:18
terrible wounds were gaping on his head, there was barely a glimmer of life in him,00:19:23
the gun fell out of my hands, I raised00:19:26
my father’s head, but almost at the same instant00:19:29
He died for00:19:31
several minutes, I knelt next to the00:19:35
murdered man, then I went to the gatekeeper of Mr.00:19:37
Tener to ask for his help, the00:19:41
gatekeeper’s house was closest to the others,00:19:45
returning to the cry of my father, I didn’t00:19:48
see anyone near him and I can’t00:19:50
imagine who could have killed00:19:54
him, few people knew him because of00:19:58
morals He was somewhat withdrawn and00:20:01
unfriendly, but still, as far as I00:20:06
know,00:20:07
he had no real enemies.00:20:11
Did the investigator tell you anything00:20:15
before his death? Your father was a witness.00:20:19
He muttered a few words, but I could00:20:23
only catch something that sounded like a rat.00:20:28
Investigator, what do you think this is? it means00:20:32
the witness has no idea. He was probably00:20:36
delirious, investigator.00:20:40
What was the reason for your last00:20:43
quarrel, the00:20:44
witness, I would prefer.00:20:51
Unfortunately, I have to insist on the00:20:55
answer,00:20:56
the witness, but I cannot answer this00:21:01
question. I00:21:02
assure you that00:21:04
our conversation had nothing to do00:21:07
with the terrible Tragedy that followed the00:21:12
investigator will decide that the court will decide it is00:21:16
unnecessary to explain to you that the reluctance00:21:19
to answer will serve to your detriment. When you00:21:23
appear before the jury session here is a00:21:27
witness and yet I will not answer00:21:32
the investigator, apparently by shouting, you and your00:21:37
father always called each other to the00:21:39
witness Yes,00:21:41
the investigator, how could this happen that00:21:46
he gave the signal before he00:21:49
saw you and even before he knew that00:21:53
you had returned from Bristol,00:21:56
the witness is very embarrassed,00:22:00
I don’t know,00:22:03
the jury,00:22:05
did anything suspicious catch your eye?00:22:08
When you ran to the00:22:11
cry and found your father mortally wounded,00:22:14
witness nothing special00:22:19
investigator00:22:20
What do you want to say by this witness00:22:26
I was so excited and scared when I00:22:30
ran out of the forest that I could only think about my00:22:34
father and nothing else,00:22:36
still I had a vague idea00:22:39
that at that moment something was lying on the Earth to00:22:42
my left it seemed like some00:22:48
gray clothes, maybe a blanket, when I00:22:52
got to my feet and wanted to00:22:54
look at this thing, it was no longer there, do00:22:59
you think that it disappeared before00:23:02
you went for help?00:23:05
Yes, it disappeared, can you tell what00:23:10
it was? No, I just had a feeling00:23:15
that there is something lying ten steps away from the dead man00:23:20
And at what distance from00:23:25
the forest00:23:27
Approximately the same00:23:30
So this thing was at a distance of00:23:33
less than 20 steps from you when it disappeared00:23:39
Yes, but I turned my back to it, this00:23:44
ends the interrogation of the witness,00:23:50
I clearly said looking at the newspaper00:23:55
column00:23:56
that at the end of the interrogation the investigator was00:23:59
completely merciless towards young00:24:01
McCarthy, he pointed out, not without reason, the00:24:06
contradiction in the testimony that the father00:24:09
called his son without knowing about his presence and00:24:14
also the refusal to convey the content of his00:24:17
conversation with his father, then the strange00:24:21
explanation of the last words of the dying man00:24:24
all this, as the investigator noted, greatly00:24:29
harms his son00:24:31
Holmes stretched out on a comfortable sofa and00:24:34
said with a smile,00:24:42
discard everything positive that is00:24:45
in the young man’s testimony00:24:48
Don’t you see that you attribute to00:24:51
him either too much or too little00:24:54
imagination,00:24:55
too little if he could not come up with00:24:59
such a reason for the quarrel which would win00:25:03
him the sympathy of the jury00:25:06
and too much if he could reach00:25:11
such an invention as the dying man's mention00:25:14
of a rat and the incident with the missing00:25:19
clothes00:25:20
no Sarah I will adhere to the point00:25:23
of view that everything the young man said00:25:30
let's see where this hypothesis leads us00:25:33
And now I will get on with it in our pocket00:25:38
until we arrive at the scene of the00:25:40
incident, not a word about this matter.00:25:46
Our second breakfast00:25:52
[music]00:25:55
was about four o'clock when we, having00:25:58
passed the lovely ostrich valley and the00:26:01
wide sparkling Northern one, finally found ourselves00:26:05
in the cute little provincial00:26:07
town of Ross,00:26:09
a neat, ferret-like little man,00:26:12
very reserved with with sly eyes he00:26:16
was waiting for us on the platform, although he was wearing a00:26:19
brown duster and boots that00:26:22
he considered suitable for the countryside,00:26:26
I easily recognized him as Lestrade and00:26:31
Scotland Yard with him. We arrived at00:26:33
Hereford, where rooms were left for us.00:26:38
I ordered a carriage, said Lestrade over a00:26:41
cup. tea I know your active00:26:45
nature After all, you still cannot00:26:47
calm down until you get to the00:26:50
crime scene, this is very commendable of you,00:26:53
Holmes answered, but now everything00:26:57
depends on the testimony00:27:08
and What are the readings of the barometer00:27:11
29 There is no wind in the sky, not a cloud of rain00:27:16
will be I have a whole pack of cigarettes00:27:19
that need to be smoked. Besides, the sofa00:27:22
here is incomparably better than the usual abomination of00:27:26
country hotels. I don’t think I’ll be00:27:30
able to use this carriage00:27:33
tonight.00:27:34
Lestrade laughed condescendingly;00:27:38
you’ve certainly already come to some00:27:41
conclusion. After reading the newspaper reports,00:27:43
he said. The matter is as clear as day And the00:27:48
deeper you delve into it, the clearer it00:27:50
becomes, but of course you cannot refuse the00:27:53
request of a woman so charming,00:27:57
she heard you and wanted to invite00:28:00
you to defend the defendant, although I00:28:04
repeatedly told her that you00:28:07
would not do anything that had not already been00:28:09
done by me a long time ago God, her carriage is at the door,00:28:15
as soon as he said this,00:28:18
one of the most lovely girls I have00:28:21
ever seen ran into the room, blue eyes sparkling,00:28:24
lips were slightly parted, tenderly, a00:28:28
blush filled her cheeks,00:28:31
strong excitement made her forget about00:28:34
her usual restraint,00:28:37
he is Mr. Sherlock Holmes, she exclaimed,00:28:41
translating look from him to me And finally,00:28:44
with unmistakable feminine intuition,00:28:48
stopping at my friend00:28:50
How glad I am that you are here, I came to00:28:54
tell you this00:28:56
I am sure that James is not guilty You00:29:00
must begin your work knowing00:29:02
what I know, do not allow doubts00:29:05
Not for one minute We have been friends with him since00:29:09
early childhood. I know all00:29:13
his faults better than anyone, but he is so soft-hearted00:29:16
that he wouldn’t hurt a fly. To everyone who00:29:20
really knows him, such an accusation00:29:23
seems00:29:24
completely ridiculous.00:29:28
I hope we can justify him. Mr.00:29:31
said Sherlock Holmes, believe me, I will do00:29:35
everything in my power forces, but you’ve read the reports00:29:40
and you already have a definite opinion about00:29:44
everything that happened, don’t you see00:29:46
any silver lining, are00:29:49
you sure that he’s innocent00:29:53
But I think it’s quite possible,00:29:58
she finally exclaimed, proudly raising her head and00:30:02
looking defiantly at Lestrade You heard00:30:06
Now I have hope00:30:11
shrugged I’m00:30:13
afraid that my colleague is too hasty in00:30:16
his conclusions he said00:30:19
But he’s right00:30:22
I’m sure he’s right00:30:24
James is incapable of committing a crime As for00:30:28
His quarrel with his father, I know that’s why he did00:30:32
n’t say anything to the investigator that00:30:35
in I was involved in this00:30:37
How come00:30:43
now is not the time to hide anything00:30:46
James was in big trouble with his00:30:50
father because of me James' father really00:30:54
wanted us to get married James and I have00:30:57
always loved each other like brother and00:31:00
sister00:31:01
but of course he is still too young to know00:31:05
life and in00:31:08
a word, he naturally didn’t even want to think about00:31:11
marriage, quarrels arose on this basis,00:31:16
I’m sure it was one of these quarrels,00:31:21
your father asked Holmes if he wanted00:31:25
your Union, no. He was also against it,00:31:29
except for James’s father, no one wanted it; a00:31:35
deep blush filled her with freshness. face00:31:38
when Holmes cast one of his searching glances at her.00:31:47
Thank you for this information he said.00:31:50
Can I see your father if00:31:54
I come tomorrow I'm00:31:56
afraid the doctor won't allow it doctor Yes Do00:32:01
n't you know00:32:03
for the last few years my poor father00:32:06
always grabbed but this the misfortune00:32:10
completely broke him, he is weak and Doctor00:32:15
Willus says that he has a strong00:32:17
nervous shock from the grief he suffered.00:32:20
Mr. McCarthy was the only00:32:23
survivor who knew00:32:25
dad in ancient times in Victoria00:32:29
Victoria this is very important yes in the mines00:32:35
Quite right in the Goldfields where00:32:40
like me I understand00:32:41
Mr. Tanner and made up his capital Well of00:32:46
course00:32:47
Thank you from the place the bunks helped me a lot00:32:53
please let me know if you have00:32:56
any news tomorrow You will probably00:32:59
visit James in prison00:33:01
oh if you see him Mr. Holmes00:33:04
Tell him that I am convinced of his00:33:08
innocence00:33:10
for sure I’ll say Mister,00:33:13
I’m hurrying home because dad is seriously00:33:15
ill. He misses me very much. Goodbye.00:33:19
May God help you.00:33:22
She left the room as quickly as she00:33:25
had entered. And we heard the sound of the wheels of the00:33:29
retreating carriage.00:33:33
I’m ashamed of you. Holmes said with dignity,00:33:36
Lestrade said after a minute’s silence,00:33:40
why are you you give me hopes that I am00:33:43
destined to be justified I do not suffer from00:33:45
excessive sensitivity but I think that00:33:48
you acted cruelly I00:33:51
think I see the Path to salvation00:33:58
You have a warrant to visit prison00:34:02
Yes, but only for the two of us In00:34:06
this case, I change my decision not to00:34:10
leave the house We will make it in time Hidford00:34:14
to see the prisoner this00:34:16
evening quite Then let's go, here he is I'm afraid00:34:21
you will be bored but in about two hours I'll be00:34:25
back00:34:27
I accompanied them to the station walked through the00:34:30
streets of the Town finally returned to00:34:33
the hotel lay down on the couch and began to00:34:36
read a pulp novel However, the plot of00:34:39
the story was too flat in00:34:42
comparison with the terrible tragedy00:34:46
opening before us, I noticed that00:34:49
my thoughts kept returning from the00:34:51
book of00:34:53
reality,00:34:54
so I threw the book at the other end of00:34:57
the room and plunged into thinking about the00:35:01
events of the past day,00:35:04
assuming that the testimony of this00:35:07
unfortunate young man is absolutely00:35:10
truthful,00:35:12
then what kind of devilry, what kind of An00:35:16
unforeseen and incredible disaster00:35:19
could have happened during that period of time00:35:22
when he left his father, then he00:35:26
came running to his screams, it was something00:35:30
terrible, a nightmare, what could it be,00:35:35
perhaps to me as a doctor, the matter will become clearer00:35:37
if I get acquainted with the nature of00:35:41
the injuries, I called and demanded the00:35:44
latest numbers local newspapers00:35:47
containing all the materials the investigation, word00:35:50
for word, in00:35:52
the testimony of the surgeon, it was established that the00:35:55
third posterior parietal bone and the left00:35:59
part of the occipital bone00:36:01
were crushed by a strong blow from a blunt weapon,00:36:05
I felt this place on my own00:36:09
head,00:36:10
undoubtedly such a blow could only be inflicted00:36:13
from behind, this To some extent00:36:17
removed suspicions from the accused since00:36:20
during the quarrel he was seen standing face00:36:23
to face calm,00:36:26
but this cannot be given much00:36:28
importance because the father could have turned away00:36:31
before he was hit.00:36:34
However, Holmes must be informed about this and00:36:38
then the mention of a rat seemed very strange to me,00:36:44
what does this mean00:36:47
in any case not delusional00:36:50
a man dying from a sudden blow is00:36:55
never delirious00:36:58
no probably He was trying to explain how he00:37:03
met his death00:37:06
What did he want to say00:37:08
I tried for a long time to find some00:37:11
suitable explanation00:37:14
I remembered the case with those gray clothes00:37:17
that young McCarthy noticed if00:37:21
that was really the case in fact, it means the killer00:37:26
lost something When he was running away, probably his00:37:29
coat and he had the impudence to00:37:33
return and take it behind his son’s back,00:37:37
20 steps away from him, when he knelt down00:37:41
next to the murdered man,00:37:44
what a plexus of the mysterious and00:37:47
incredible in this incident00:37:51
I was not surprised by Lestrade’s opinion, but I00:37:55
He believed in Holmes's foresight and had not lost00:37:58
hope until now. It seemed to me that00:38:02
every new detail strengthened his00:38:04
confidence in the innocence of young00:38:08
McCarthy00:38:10
when Holmes returned it was already quite00:38:13
late. He was alone since Lestrade00:38:17
stopped in the city,00:38:20
the barometer was still not falling, he noticed that he was00:38:24
sitting down,00:38:25
if only there was no rain until we00:38:28
got to the scene of the incident, after all, a00:38:30
person must put00:38:33
all the strength of his mind and heart into such a glorious cause; to00:38:37
tell the truth, I didn’t want to get started; I earned it00:38:39
when I was tired from the long journey;00:38:43
I saw young McCarthy; what did you00:38:48
learn from him; nothing00:38:51
happened;00:38:54
more clearly, I was inclined to think that he00:38:58
knew the name of the criminal And that he was00:39:00
hiding it, but now I am convinced that for00:39:05
him it is the same Mystery As for everyone00:39:08
else,00:39:10
young McCarthy is not particularly smart but00:39:14
very pretty and it seemed to me that00:39:16
he is00:39:17
not a spoiled person,00:39:21
I do not approve I noticed his taste, if00:39:26
it’s really true that he didn’t want to00:39:28
marry such a charming young00:39:31
girl like Mister,00:39:35
underneath all this lies a very00:39:38
unpleasant story,00:39:39
he passionately00:39:42
loves her madly. What do you think he00:39:48
did about two years ago when she was still00:39:51
in the boarding school? And he himself was When he was just a00:39:54
teenager, this idiot fell into the clutches of00:39:58
a Bristol barmaid00:40:00
and00:40:02
registered his marriage with her.00:40:06
No one knows a word about this. But00:40:10
you can imagine what agony it was for00:40:12
him to listen to reproaches for not00:40:16
doing what he himself would give half his00:40:19
life for.00:40:21
This is despair. and it gripped him when he00:40:28
stretched out his Hands to the sky in response to his00:40:32
father’s demands to propose.00:40:34
Mister,00:40:36
on the other hand, he had no00:40:38
opportunity to defend himself and his father,00:40:42
who, as everyone claims, was a man of00:40:44
tough character,00:40:46
would have kicked him out of the house forever if00:40:51
he had known all the truth about00:40:55
this the young man00:40:58
spent the00:41:01
last three days in Bristol with his wife, the barmaid, and his father did not know where00:41:05
he was;00:41:08
remember this circumstance, this is very00:41:10
important. However, if there was no happiness,00:41:13
misfortune would have helped, the00:41:16
barmaid, having learned from the newspapers that her husband was00:41:19
accused of a serious Crime and would00:41:22
probably soon be hanged,00:41:24
immediately left him and admitted to him in a00:41:28
letter that she has long had another00:41:31
legitimate one who lives in the Bermuda00:41:34
docks and that in fact nothing connects her with Mr. James McCarthy.00:41:43
I think this news atoned for all the00:41:46
suffering of young McCarthy.00:41:50
But if he is innocent, then who is the killer?00:41:55
Yes Who is the killer?00:41:59
I would draw your attention to the following00:42:03
two circumstances: first, the00:42:06
deceased had to meet someone00:42:09
at the pool; this man could not be his00:42:13
son because the son left and it was not00:42:16
known when he would return;00:42:18
second, the father shouted Cole even before00:42:24
he knew about the return of the son these are the main00:42:28
points that predetermine the outcome of the process00:42:33
and now let's talk about the work of00:42:36
George Meridit if you wish and00:42:39
leave all minor matters until00:42:43
tomorrow00:42:44
as Holmes predicted there was no rain the00:42:48
morning turned out to be Bright and Cloudless at00:42:52
nine o'clock he came for us in a carriage00:42:55
and we We went to the Hazarley farm and to00:42:59
Bossum00:43:01
serious news said Lestrade00:43:04
they say that Mr. Tenner from the cold is so00:43:07
bad that he won’t last long00:43:10
probably he is very old asked Holmes00:43:14
about 60 but he lost his health in the colonies00:43:17
and has been seriously ill for a very long time00:43:20
here this matter played a big role00:43:23
He was an old friend of McCarthy and I would add that00:43:26
he was a true benefactor,00:43:30
as I learned he didn’t even charge00:43:32
him rent for the farm That’s00:43:36
very interesting00:43:39
Holmes exclaimed oh yes and he helped him00:43:43
in all sorts of other ways,00:43:46
everything here shows that Mr. Tender was00:43:49
very kind to the deceased Well, did00:43:54
n’t it seem a little unusual to you00:43:57
that this McCarthy man, a very00:43:59
poor man, was so indebted to Mr. Tenner And00:44:04
yet the heiress of all fortunes was talking about the marriage of her son00:44:07
to Tenner’s daughter,00:44:13
as if all she had to do was make00:44:16
an offer and everything would be all right,00:44:19
this is extremely strange because to00:44:23
you it is known that the tenors did not00:44:26
want to hear about the marriage, his daughter herself told00:44:31
about it, can you draw any conclusions from all that has00:44:34
been said using the00:44:38
method of deduction,00:44:42
we were engaged in deduction and logical00:44:46
conclusions, said Lastrid, we wink at me, you00:44:49
know Holmes If in the future we also00:44:52
use facts, we can very easily00:44:55
retire from the truth into the world of guesses and00:44:59
fantasies What is true is the truth00:45:02
Holmes answered restrainedly You use facts very poorly, be that as00:45:08
it may, I confirmed one fact00:45:12
that turned out to be very difficult for00:45:15
your understanding of the00:45:17
irritated one who infected the lastrid, that is, that00:45:22
that00:45:24
his death from the younger And that all the theories00:45:29
those who deny this fact are just lunar reflections00:45:36
Well, the lunar tablets are much brighter than the fog00:45:41
Holmes answered laughing if I'm not mistaken00:45:45
on the left of us is the Hazarley farm it was the most00:45:50
it was a wide spread00:45:53
comfortable two-story slate-roofed00:45:56
building with large yellow00:45:58
spots of lichen on the gray facade00:46:01
drawn curtains on the windows and pipes from00:46:04
which no smoke came from gave the house a00:46:07
gloomy appearance as if a terrible crime00:46:11
had fallen with all its weight on these walls.00:46:17
We rang the bell at the door and the maid, at00:46:21
Holmes’ request, showed us the shoes00:46:25
her master was wearing. When he was killed00:46:29
and his son’s shoes that he wore that00:46:33
day,00:46:34
Holmes carefully measured all shoes in00:46:38
a family or eight places then asked to00:46:42
lead us into the yard from there we walked along the00:46:46
winding path that led to00:46:49
Bosm00:46:52
Sherlock Holmes was completely transformed when he walked00:46:56
through the hot light people who knew the00:46:59
dispassionate thinker from Baker Street would00:47:03
never have recognized him now he was00:47:07
darkening his face he was covered with a blush,00:47:11
his eyebrows stretched into two hard00:47:14
black lines, from under them his eyes sparkled with a steel shine, his00:47:21
head sank, his shoulders hunched, his00:47:24
lips pressed tightly together and veins bulged on his muscular00:47:28
neck, his nostrils00:47:31
flared like those of a hunter absorbed in the00:47:34
bestial instinct of pursuit, he00:47:38
was so captivated by the one standing in front of him the00:47:40
task that to the questions addressed to him, he00:47:44
either answered nothing at all or00:47:47
snapped impatiently in response,00:47:51
silent, he quickly walked along the path that00:47:53
ran through the forest and meadows to the Bosm00:47:57
pool, this remote swampy place, like the00:48:01
whole Valley, was visible on the path and near it where00:48:05
low grass grows00:48:10
Holmes hurried and stopped00:48:14
once, turned sharply and took00:48:16
a few steps back,00:48:18
Lestrade and I followed him the detective with an00:48:23
air of indifference and disdain00:48:28
while I watched my friend with00:48:31
great interest because I was convinced00:48:33
that every action of his led to to the00:48:37
successful completion of the case, the00:48:40
Bozkom whirlpool is a large 50 yards wide00:48:44
expanse of water surrounded by00:48:47
thickets of Reeds and located on the00:48:50
border of the Khazarian farm and the rich Mr. park00:48:56
above the forest approaching the Far shore,00:48:59
red pointed turrets are visible00:49:03
rising above the dwelling of the rich owner of the land00:49:09
from the Khazarly side The forest is very dense,00:49:12
only a narrow strip damp grass about00:49:16
20 paces wide separates the last trees00:49:19
from the reeds00:49:20
bordering the lake,00:49:23
Lastrid pointed out exactly where the body was found and the00:49:29
ground was really so damp that00:49:32
I could clearly see the place where the dead man fell.00:49:37
As for Holmes, from his00:49:40
energetic face and intense gaze00:49:43
I saw that he I saw a lot on the00:49:47
trampled grass, he rushed about like a hound00:49:51
on the trail and then turned to00:49:54
our companion,00:49:56
what were you doing here, he asked, I00:50:00
combed the entire lawn with a rake, I was looking for00:50:04
some kind of weapon or other Evidence, but00:50:07
how did you do it? Well, that’s enough. I don’t have00:50:10
time,00:50:12
turn left leg and the footprints of that00:50:15
left foot of yours are visible everywhere,00:50:18
even a Mole could have tracked you down. And here in the reeds,00:50:24
how simple everything would have been if I had come00:50:27
here,00:50:33
here stood those who came from the guardhouse,00:50:37
they trampled all the tracks around the dead man00:50:40
for six or 7 feet. He got he laid his magnifying glass00:50:45
on his waterproof raincoat so that he could00:50:49
see better and talked more to00:50:54
himself than to us,00:50:56
here are the footprints of young McCarthy. He passed00:51:00
here twice and once ran so fast00:51:03
that the traces of his heels are almost invisible,00:51:07
the rest of the sole was imprinted00:51:10
clearly, this confirms his testimony, he00:51:15
ran when I saw my father lying on00:51:18
the ground, then here are the traces of his father’s feet When00:51:22
he walked back and forth What is this mark00:51:26
from the butt on which the son leaned00:51:29
when he stood and listened to his father And00:51:32
what is this,00:51:35
someone was creeping up on tiptoe00:51:39
Besides, these are completely square00:51:42
unusual shoes00:51:44
he came, left and came back again00:51:50
this time of course00:51:52
for his coat00:51:55
but where did he come from00:51:59
Holmes ran back and forth sometimes getting lost00:52:03
The trail sometimes bumping into it again until00:52:06
we found ourselves right next to the forest in the shade of a00:52:09
very large old birch00:52:13
Holmes found his footprints behind this tree and00:52:16
again lay down on his stomach, a00:52:18
joyful exclamation was heard Holmes00:52:23
remained motionless for a long time,00:52:25
turned over fallen leaves and dry00:52:28
branches, collected something similar to dust in an envelope00:52:31
and examined the ground through a magnifying glass, as00:52:34
well as how much he could reach and the bark of the tree, a00:52:38
stone with jagged edges lay among the00:52:42
moss. picked it up and examined it. Then he00:52:46
walked along the path all the way to the road. Where the00:52:50
traces were lost,00:52:52
this stone is of great interest,00:52:56
he noticed, returning to his usual00:52:59
tone, the00:53:00
gray house on the right must be a gatehouse,00:53:05
I’ll go to the moryun to say a few words to him00:53:08
and write a short note.00:53:11
After that, we will we'll have time to get to00:53:14
the hotel in time for second breakfast, you go to the00:53:18
carriage, I'll join you in00:53:22
about 10 minutes, we were already on the cross in00:53:26
Holmes's hands, there was still a stone00:53:28
that He picked up in the forest,00:53:32
it might interest you,00:53:35
he said, handing him the stone.00:53:39
That's what the murder was done with. I don’t00:53:44
see any traces on it; there aren’t any00:53:48
then. How did you know that there was00:53:51
grass growing under it?00:54:11
he has a limp on his00:54:15
right leg, wears00:54:17
thick-soled hunting boots and a gray coat, smokes00:54:21
Indian cigars with a Moon piece in his pocket,00:54:24
he has a dull penknife,00:54:27
there are a few other signs, but And this is00:54:31
enough to help us in our00:54:33
quest,00:54:35
Lestrade laughed00:54:39
Unfortunately, I still remain00:54:42
skeptic said He your theories are very00:54:45
good but we have to deal with00:54:48
stubborn British juries00:54:51
Well, we will see that Holmes answered calmly00:54:56
You have some methods, I have others By the way,00:55:01
maybe I00:55:03
’ll return to London today on the evening train and leave your case00:55:06
unfinished No finished00:55:13
who but the criminal00:55:27
Lestrade shrugged his shoulders I’m a man of00:55:31
action, he said, and I can’t in any way00:55:34
search for a gentleman who00:55:36
only knows that he’s a lame left-hander00:55:40
I would become the laughing stock of the entire Scotland Yard00:55:43
Well Holmes answered calmly, I00:55:48
’ve given you every opportunity to00:55:51
solve this Mystery, I haven’t00:55:54
hidden anything from you and you yourself could solve the00:55:56
mysterious crimes00:55:58
So we arrived. Goodbye00:56:02
before leaving, I’ll write to you,00:56:06
leaving Lestray at his door, we00:56:10
headed to our hotel where00:56:13
breakfast was already waiting for us. Holmes was silent, immersed in00:56:18
his thoughts,00:56:19
his face was gloomy, like that of a man00:56:22
who has been caught. in a difficult00:56:25
situation00:56:29
he said when they cleared the table00:56:35
in front of you00:56:40
I don’t know what to do I would like to00:56:43
get advice from you light a cigarette and I’ll00:56:48
start now please00:56:52
Well, when studying this case we were00:56:56
struck by two points in the story of young00:56:58
McCarthy Although they tuned me into his00:57:01
favor and you were restored against him,00:57:06
firstly, that the father screamed his head00:57:09
before he saw his son, and secondly,00:57:12
that the dying man only mentioned a rat,00:57:16
you understand, he muttered a few words,00:57:20
but the son caught only one thing,00:57:22
our investigation should begin with00:57:26
these two points,00:57:29
let’s assume that everything what the young man said is the00:57:33
absolute truth,00:57:35
what is00:57:38
obvious? He was not calling his son, he thought00:57:43
that the son in Bristol, the00:57:45
son, quite by chance, heard this Call with00:57:49
this cry coe. He called the one who made00:57:52
a date with him, but Cole is an00:57:56
Australian word, it is used only00:57:59
between Australians, this is strong00:58:03
evidence that the person whose00:58:05
McCarthy hoped to meet the Uboskam00:58:08
whirlpool was an00:58:11
Australian rat00:58:17
Sherlock Holmes00:58:19
He took a folded sheet of paper out of his pocket and00:58:23
straightened it on the table00:58:26
this is a map of the state of Victoria he said00:58:31
I said he I telegraphed last00:58:35
night to Bristol for it to be sent to me00:58:39
He covered part of the map with his palm00:58:43
Read he asked00:58:48
in English I read the rat and now00:58:53
He raised his hand00:58:56
Red00:59:00
Absolutely right This is the word00:59:03
spoken by the dying man but the son caught00:59:06
only the last two syllables He tried00:59:10
to call the name the murderer and so00:59:14
the ballard00:59:17
exclaimed amazingly I have no00:59:19
doubt about it00:59:22
and now as you can see The circle is narrowing the00:59:26
presence of the criminal the gray robe00:59:29
was the third point, the complete00:59:34
unknown disappears and a certain00:59:36
Australian from Balarett appears in a gray coat00:59:43
and in fact,00:59:46
besides, he is a local resident because there is00:59:50
nothing near the whirlpool except a farm and an estate00:59:53
and a stranger is unlikely to wander there00:59:57
of course00:59:59
then our expedition today01:00:03
is exploring the soil I discovered01:00:05
insignificant Evidence about which I01:00:08
told this, then according to the smart Lestrade01:00:12
it was about establishing the identity of01:00:15
the criminal01:00:17
Well, how did you find them,01:00:22
you know my method, it is based on a01:00:26
comparison of all the insignificant01:00:31
and his height, of course, you could01:00:33
approximately judge by the length of his step and01:00:37
his shoes You could also guess from the01:00:41
footprints Yes, it was an unusual shoe,01:00:46
that he was Lame, the01:00:49
traces of his right foot are not as clear01:00:53
as the traces of his left,01:00:56
there is less weight on the right foot. Why Because01:01:00
he was limping, he was lame,01:01:07
you yourself were amazed at the nature of the01:01:10
damage described by the surgeon, the blow was01:01:13
suddenly struck from behind but with left01:01:16
side, who could have done this if not01:01:20
Lefty, during a conversation between father and son, he01:01:23
stood behind a tree, he even smoked there, I01:01:28
found Ash and, thanks to my knowledge of01:01:31
various types of tobacco, established that he was01:01:34
smoking an Indian cigar.01:01:36
As you know, I did a little research on01:01:39
this issue and wrote a short a01:01:41
monograph of a pepp leaf of forty different01:01:44
varieties of pipe cigar and01:01:48
cigarette tobacco,01:01:50
having discovered the ashes of the cigar, I looked all01:01:54
around and found the place where he threw it, it01:02:00
was an Indian cigar01:02:04
made in Rotterdam,01:02:10
I saw that he did not put it in his mouth,01:02:13
therefore he was smoking a smoot piece,01:02:17
the tip was cut off01:02:19
but the cut was uneven So I decided that01:02:26
Holmes said I you entangled the criminal in a01:02:30
net from which he cannot escape and01:02:33
you saved the life of an innocent01:02:36
young man you simply removed the noose from his neck I01:02:41
see where all your evidence converges the killer's name01:02:49
Mr. John Tenner the waiter reported as he01:02:53
opened the door to our living room and let in the01:02:56
visitor. The one who01:02:58
entered had a strange, completely01:03:01
unusual figure; a01:03:04
slow limping gait and01:03:07
drooping shoulders made him look decrepit,01:03:11
while his hard, sharply defined,01:03:14
rough face and huge limbs01:03:17
indicated that he was endowed with01:03:20
extraordinary physical strength;01:03:22
his tangled body beard, graying hair,01:03:26
disheveled eyebrows hanging over his eyes01:03:30
gave him a proud and commanding look01:03:34
on his face and01:03:36
there was a tint to his lips and nostrils. I01:03:42
realized at first glance that he was suffering from01:03:45
some kind of01:03:46
incurable chronic disease.01:03:50
Please sit down on the sofa,01:03:53
Holmes gently suggested. You received my note01:03:57
Yes. I brought the gatekeeper01:04:01
You write that you want to see me in order to01:04:05
avoid a scandal01:04:08
I think there will be a lot of talk if I don’t01:04:12
speak in court, why do01:04:15
you need me? You needed01:04:18
a tenor looked at my friend in his01:04:20
tired eyes there was so much despair01:04:24
as if he had already received the answer to his01:04:26
question yes said Holmes Answering more01:04:31
in his eyes than in his words it’s so I01:04:36
know everything and McCarthy the01:04:40
old man covered his face with his hands01:04:46
Help me God he exclaimed but I would01:04:51
not allow the death of the young man I01:04:54
give you my word that I would reveal the whole truth01:04:58
if it came to the jury session01:05:02
here I’m01:05:04
glad to hear this sternly,01:05:09
I would have revealed everything a long time ago01:05:13
if it weren’t for my dear girl, it would have01:05:17
broken her heart,01:05:19
she wouldn’t have survived my arrest,01:05:25
it’s possible not to bring the matter to an arrest,01:05:28
answered Holmes Am01:05:30
I really not an official person since01:05:35
your daughter invited me? I’m acting in in01:05:38
her interests, you yourself understand that01:05:42
young McCarthy should be released01:05:47
soon I’ll die soon said old Tenner01:05:52
I’ve been suffering from diabetes for many years01:05:56
my doctor doubts I’ve01:05:59
held out for a month or not,01:06:04
after all, it will be easier for me to die from01:06:07
my01:06:08
own roof than in prison01:06:13
Holmes stood up and went to the desk and01:06:16
took it pen and paper01:06:20
Tell everything as it was, he suggested,01:06:23
and I will briefly write it down,01:06:25
you will sign it, I will testify,01:06:30
I will present your confession only in01:06:33
case of extreme necessity If it is necessary to01:06:36
save McCarthy,01:06:39
otherwise I promise you not to resort to this01:06:43
measure,01:06:45
well answered the old man01:06:48
Most likely I will01:06:51
not live before the exit session of the court01:06:55
So I don’t care much about this01:06:58
I would only like to save Alice from01:07:02
such a blow01:07:04
and now I’ll tell you everything01:07:07
It took a long time but I can tell you01:07:12
very quickly01:07:14
you didn’t know the late McCarthy01:07:18
It was a real devil I assure you01:07:23
God forbid from the pincers of such a man01:07:26
I have been in his clutches for the last 20 years,01:07:31
he has completely poisoned my life.01:07:36
First I will tell you how I found myself in01:07:39
his power, it happened in the early01:07:42
sixties in the Gold Mines,01:07:46
I was then a very young man,01:07:49
reckless and ardent, ready for any01:07:53
task,01:07:54
I ended up in bad company, I started01:07:58
drinking01:07:59
on my property, there was01:08:03
n’t a ton of gold,01:08:05
I started wandering around and became, as you01:08:10
say, a01:08:11
knight of the high road, there01:08:14
were six of us, we led a wild camp01:08:17
life,01:08:19
from time to time we raided the01:08:22
station, we stopped vans on the roads to the01:08:25
mines, they called me the swamp black01:08:30
Jack01:08:32
my guys are still remembered in the colonies01:08:40
One day,01:08:43
gold was sent under guard by a convoy,01:08:48
we set up an ambush, the gold was guarded by six01:08:51
guards, there were also six of us, there was a01:08:56
hot fight with the first salvo,01:09:00
we killed four, but when we took01:09:03
the loot, there were01:09:05
only three of us left, I imagined there01:09:09
was a pistol to Kucher’s head01:09:12
it was McCarthy, Lord, it would be better if I01:09:17
killed him then01:09:19
I spared him, although I noticed that he was01:09:23
looking at me with his little evil01:09:26
eyes as if he wanted to01:09:28
remember the features of my face,01:09:32
we took possession of the gold, became rich01:09:35
people,01:09:36
came to England,01:09:39
not suspected by anyone, here I01:09:44
parted with my forever former friends01:09:49
and began a quiet, prosperous life.01:09:54
I bought this estate, which was just01:09:57
being sold at that time, and tried to01:10:00
bring at least a little benefit with my01:10:03
money in order to somehow atone for the past; besides,01:10:07
I got married and although my wife died01:10:12
young, she left me01:10:14
sweet little01:10:17
Alice01:10:19
even when Alice was just a baby,01:10:22
her little hands kept me on the righteous01:10:26
path like nothing in the world,01:10:30
in a word, I was forever done with the past,01:10:35
everything was going great01:10:38
until I fell into the hands of McCarthy.01:10:43
I went to the city on financial matters and01:10:48
met McCarthy on riginstreet. a01:10:52
decent coat or shoes,01:10:57
here we are, he said, touching01:11:02
my hand,01:11:03
now we will never01:11:06
part again. I’m not alone, I have a01:11:10
little son, and you must take care of us,01:11:14
otherwise, you know01:11:17
England. It’s a wonderful country where they respect the laws. In01:11:22
addition, everywhere there is01:11:28
this he settled with his son in the west,01:11:31
I couldn’t get rid of them, they01:11:35
live for free on my land, I had no01:11:39
peace, no rest, no oblivion, no matter where I01:11:44
went, I ran into his sly,01:11:47
grinning face everywhere01:11:50
when Alice grew up it became even worse01:11:56
because he noticed that for me01:11:58
it’s worse than any police if the night01:12:02
finds out about my past01:12:06
so that he doesn’t want it,01:12:09
he gets it at the first request, be it01:12:14
Land for construction or money,01:12:17
until he01:12:19
demands the impossible,01:12:24
he demands01:12:26
Alice,01:12:28
you see his son has grown up My daughter is also01:12:33
not like About mine the illness was01:12:36
known to everyone, it seemed to him that this was a01:12:38
great chance for his son to take possession of01:12:42
my entire fortune,01:12:45
but this time I was firm, I01:12:50
couldn’t even imagine that his damned mouth01:12:54
would connect with mine, it’s01:12:57
impossible to say that I didn’t like his01:13:00
son, but the young men were flowing his01:13:04
father's blood that was enough01:13:09
I still stood my ground01:13:13
McCarthy began to threaten01:13:16
I completely drove him crazy01:13:20
we were supposed to meet in the pool01:13:24
halfway between our houses to01:13:26
talk about everything when I arrived but at the01:13:30
appointed place I saw that he was01:13:33
talking about something01:13:35
I lit a cigarette with my son and waited behind the tree until he01:13:39
was left alone, but as I01:13:44
listened to his words,01:13:47
bitterness and anger began to boil in me and they could01:13:51
bear it more, he forced his son to marry01:13:56
my daughter without caring at all about how01:14:00
she would react to this as if we were talking about a01:14:06
future girl I almost went crazy01:14:09
when I thought that everything I value could01:14:15
end up in the power of such a person, would01:14:19
n’t it be better to break these sharks I’m already a01:14:24
dying man driven to despair01:14:28
Although my mind is clear and my strength has not01:14:31
left me, I understood that my life is01:14:34
over but my name and my01:14:40
daughter I will save that other one if I force the01:14:45
cards to keep my mouth shut01:14:50
I killed him Mr. Holmes I would kill him01:14:55
again01:14:57
I am a big sinner But doesn’t a life full of01:15:02
suffering atone for guilt01:15:06
I endured everything but the thought that my daughter01:15:11
will fall into the same trap, it was not a war,01:15:16
I killed him without remorse, as if01:15:20
it were a disgusting poisonous creature,01:15:24
his son came running at the cry, but I managed to01:15:28
hide in the forest Although I01:15:30
had to go back for my coat,01:15:33
which I dropped,01:15:38
this is the honest truth Gentlemen, everything01:15:41
happened01:15:42
exactly like01:15:45
that It’s not for me to judge you, Holmes said01:15:49
when the old man signed his testimony,01:15:53
I think we won’t have to bring the matter to01:15:57
trial,01:15:58
don’t doubt it.01:16:02
Well, what do you want to do?01:16:06
Taking into account your health,01:16:08
nothing, you yourself understand that01:16:12
you will soon appear before the court, which is higher than the01:16:15
earthly court I will keep your confession01:16:19
I will have to use it if01:16:23
McCarthy is convicted, if he is01:16:27
acquitted, not a single mortal, whether you are alive01:16:31
or not, will know about your secret, all this will01:16:35
remain01:16:36
between us01:16:40
then01:16:41
Farewell01:16:43
solemnly said the old man When01:16:47
your hour of death comes,01:16:50
it will be easier for you right if about that01:16:54
what peace you brought into my soul,01:17:01
staggering and trembling with your whole gigantic01:17:04
body. He slowly left the room01:17:08
limping on his right leg,01:17:13
poor we are poor after a long pause.01:17:19
Why does fate play with such pitiful01:17:24
helpless creatures as01:17:32
you know, Sisi here, the jury acquitted01:17:36
James McCarthy under the pressure of01:17:39
numerous evidence01:17:41
presented Holmes,01:17:44
the old tenor lived for seven months after01:17:48
our meeting, now he is no longer01:17:51
alive,01:17:52
there is every reason to believe that James and01:17:56
Alice can live peacefully in a happy01:18:00
marriage without thinking anymore about the black clouds01:18:04
that01:18:05
darkened their past01:18:09
