WEBVTT 01:18.912 --> 01:20.621 Mr. Cretites? 01:22.248 --> 01:25.125 ...Paul Cretites. 01:25.293 --> 01:28.587 My name is Latimer. I've come to meet you, Mr. Cretites. 01:30.965 --> 01:34.593 Just come this way. Mr. Cretites. We have a carriage waiting. 02:39.117 --> 02:43.120 During my long and intimate acquaintance with Sherlock Holmes, 02:43.246 --> 02:46.456 I'd never heard him refer to his relations, 02:46.583 --> 02:49.126 and hardly ever to his own early life. 02:49.460 --> 02:52.838 Because of this reticence, I sometimes found myself 02:52.964 --> 02:55.048 regarding him as an isolated phenomenon 02:55.175 --> 02:57.217 as deficient in human sympathy 02:57.385 --> 03:00.220 as he was pre-eminent in intelligence. 03:00.430 --> 03:04.558 I'd come to believe that he was an orphan with no relatives living. 03:04.851 --> 03:08.478 But one day, to my very great surprise, 03:08.605 --> 03:11.565 he began to talk to me about his family. 03:13.610 --> 03:16.236 My singular gift of observation introduction 03:16.362 --> 03:17.696 may have come from my grandmother, 03:17.822 --> 03:21.200 who was a sister of Bernais, the French artist. 03:21.326 --> 03:25.412 The art in the blood is liable to take the strangest forms. 03:25.747 --> 03:28.665 For example, my brother, Mycroft. 03:30.668 --> 03:31.710 Your brother? 03:33.588 --> 03:35.422 I didn't know you had a brother? 03:35.924 --> 03:40.594 Oh, yes. And I can assure you, he possesses a far greater 03:40.762 --> 03:43.430 faculty of observation and deduction than I do. 03:44.933 --> 03:47.226 Holmes, I know that you are a modest man... 03:49.187 --> 03:50.437 My dear Watson, 03:50.647 --> 03:54.524 I cannot agree with those that rank modesty among the virtues. 03:56.027 --> 03:59.238 To the legation, everything should be seen exactly as it is. 03:59.364 --> 04:00.697 And to underestimate one's self 04:00.823 --> 04:03.909 is as much a departure from the truth as to exaggerate one's own ability. 04:04.035 --> 04:07.579 What I have just told you about my brother is the exact and literal truth. 04:07.956 --> 04:10.374 Well, naturally, I don't doubt your word. 04:11.376 --> 04:14.586 But if there is another man in England with such singular powers, 04:14.712 --> 04:17.464 how is it that neither the police nor the public 04:17.590 --> 04:20.467 have ever heard of him, let alone myself? 04:21.302 --> 04:24.137 He's very well known in his own circles. 04:24.681 --> 04:25.806 Where then? 04:26.516 --> 04:28.558 The Diagones Club. 04:29.560 --> 04:35.148 It is the oddest club in London, and my brother one of the oddest men. 04:42.490 --> 04:46.994 I suppose you wish to meet him? 04:47.495 --> 04:49.246 Well, of course I do, 04:51.124 --> 04:54.334 even if it's just to prove that he exists. 04:58.172 --> 05:01.258 Then you shall, this afternoon. 05:02.051 --> 05:04.177 He has come across the most singular problem, 05:04.304 --> 05:06.013 which he thinks might interest me. 05:06.848 --> 05:10.976 But why does Mycroft not use his great powers for detective work? 05:11.144 --> 05:14.521 If the art of the detective began and ended in reasoning from an arm chair, 05:14.689 --> 05:17.858 my brother would be the greatest criminal agent that ever lived. 05:18.526 --> 05:19.860 What is to me a means of livelihood 05:20.028 --> 05:22.529 is to him the merest hobby of a dilettante. 05:23.156 --> 05:26.033 But he has no ambition and no energy. 05:28.661 --> 05:30.203 What is his profession, then? 05:30.330 --> 05:32.873 He has an extraordinary faculty for figures. 05:33.041 --> 05:36.001 He audits the books for some of the government departments. 05:39.380 --> 05:42.382 But what are the qualifications for the Diogenes Club? 05:42.508 --> 05:43.967 Shyness and misanthropy- 05:44.093 --> 05:46.303 my brother is one of the founding members. 05:46.471 --> 05:48.555 It contains the most unsociable 05:48.723 --> 05:51.558 and clubful men in time who speak not a word 05:51.726 --> 05:54.144 and shun even the merest glance. 05:55.104 --> 05:56.229 Now, let us enter. 05:56.356 --> 05:56.897 Yes, but... 05:57.065 --> 05:58.231 Not a word. 06:56.916 --> 06:58.041 Holmes, have you... 07:15.309 --> 07:16.309 We can talk in here. 07:16.477 --> 07:18.061 Well, thank goodness. 07:33.494 --> 07:36.246 Look at those two men, Sherlock. 07:39.417 --> 07:40.792 What do you make of them? 07:41.085 --> 07:42.502 The brilliant marker of the other. 07:42.670 --> 07:45.172 Precisely. What do you make of the other? 07:45.339 --> 07:46.923 An old soldier, I perceive. 07:47.049 --> 07:48.467 And very recently distraught? 07:48.593 --> 07:49.843 Served in India, I see. 07:49.969 --> 07:51.470 And a non-commissioned officer. 07:51.596 --> 07:52.762 Relativity, I fancy. 07:52.889 --> 07:53.930 And a widower? 07:54.056 --> 07:55.140 With a child. 07:56.684 --> 08:00.520 Children, my dear boy, children. 08:03.608 --> 08:07.277 Mycroft Holmes. Glad to meet you, Dr. Watson. 08:07.487 --> 08:11.531 I hear of Sherlock everywhere since you became his... 08:11.699 --> 08:12.949 Well, thank you. 08:13.534 --> 08:17.704 For anyone who wishes to study mankind, this is the spot. 08:18.414 --> 08:21.541 But surely you were taking things a little too far just now? 08:21.751 --> 08:24.544 It is not hard to say Watson, that a man of that bearing, 08:24.712 --> 08:29.883 and especially of authority and some big skin as a soldier is more than a private. 08:30.384 --> 08:31.885 And is not long for India. 08:32.386 --> 08:37.557 That is not long since left the service shown by his still wearing his ammunition boots, 08:37.683 --> 08:38.725 as they're called. 08:39.101 --> 08:41.728 He has not the cavalry stride. 08:42.104 --> 08:45.232 But he wore his hat on one side as is shown by the lighter skin 08:45.399 --> 08:47.234 on one side of his brow. 08:48.069 --> 08:52.656 His weight is against him being a sapper. He is in the artillery. 08:53.074 --> 08:57.077 There goes his complete mourning shows that he has lost someone very dear. 08:57.453 --> 09:00.914 The fact that he's doing his own shopping looks as though it was his wife. 09:01.207 --> 09:05.043 He's been buying things for children, as you can see. 09:05.253 --> 09:09.756 There is a wrap, which shows that one of them is very, very young. 09:10.258 --> 09:16.555 And the fact that he has a picture book under his arm shows there is another child. 09:17.932 --> 09:21.768 Aha, Mr. Merlas. 09:23.854 --> 09:25.272 Come in, sir. 09:33.281 --> 09:35.282 These are my friends. 09:35.449 --> 09:37.284 This is Dr. Watson, 09:37.618 --> 09:41.371 and this is my younger brother, Sherlock. 09:42.123 --> 09:44.457 You're Mr. Sherlock Holmes? 09:44.584 --> 09:49.629 I've asked Mr. Merlas to step across. He lodges on the first floor above me, 09:49.755 --> 09:53.133 and I thought you'd be interested in his story. 09:53.342 --> 09:56.469 He's the reason why I asked you to call today. 09:57.263 --> 10:01.224 Mr. Merlas, he came to me, well... 10:02.435 --> 10:08.481 But I think I shall ask Mr. Merlas to tell his own very remarkable experiences 10:08.608 --> 10:09.983 in his own fashion. 10:10.526 --> 10:11.943 Thank you, Mr. Holmes. 10:15.406 --> 10:19.659 For many years, I have been the chief Greek interpreter in London. 10:21.370 --> 10:24.080 I do not think that the police believe my story. 10:24.498 --> 10:25.790 On my word, I do not. 10:26.584 --> 10:29.085 Just because they have never heard of it before, 10:29.462 --> 10:31.796 they think that such a thing cannot be. 10:32.673 --> 10:38.803 But I know that I shall never be easy in my mind until I know what has become 10:38.929 --> 10:43.475 of my poor man with a sticking plastered up on his face. 10:44.101 --> 10:45.268 Sticky... 10:46.979 --> 10:48.647 Mr. Merlas, please sit down. 10:49.231 --> 10:51.274 Thank you, Mr. Holmes, I prefer to stand. 10:53.027 --> 10:53.943 Watson. 10:57.823 --> 10:59.199 I am all attention. 11:03.412 --> 11:07.832 All this happened only two days ago, on Monday night. 11:08.834 --> 11:12.545 I am Greek by instruction. And earn my living as an interpreter. 11:13.089 --> 11:16.007 It often happens that I'm sent for at strange hours 11:16.133 --> 11:18.385 by foreigners who would get into difficulties 11:18.552 --> 11:21.638 or by travelers who would arrive late and wish my services. 12:10.855 --> 12:12.105 Mr. Merlas? 12:12.523 --> 12:13.273 Yes. 12:14.567 --> 12:19.571 I apologize for this intrusion, but I need the services of an interpreter immediately. 12:19.905 --> 12:21.281 My name is Latimer. 12:22.908 --> 12:23.867 Immediately? 12:23.993 --> 12:26.244 I wouldn't insist unless it were urgent, but 12:26.370 --> 12:30.123 a Greek friend of mine has just arrived in this country on business matter. 12:30.249 --> 12:33.376 Unfortunately, he speaks nothing but his own tongue. 12:33.544 --> 12:38.465 I likewise so. Mr. Merlas, please. My carriage is waiting outside. 12:42.970 --> 12:44.137 How far away? 12:45.097 --> 12:46.723 Only to Kensington. 13:10.498 --> 13:14.000 I'm sorry to have to cut off your view, Mr. Merlas, but the fact is, 13:14.126 --> 13:17.837 I have no intention that you should see the place to which we are driving. 13:18.422 --> 13:23.635 It might possibly be inconvenient to me if you were able to find your way back again. 13:24.011 --> 13:27.305 This is very extraordinary conduct, Mr. Latimer. 13:27.681 --> 13:31.017 You must be aware that what you're doing is quite illegal. 13:31.560 --> 13:36.022 It is somewhat of a liberty, no doubt. But we'll make it up to you. 13:44.365 --> 13:50.203 For nearly two hours, we drove, without my having the least idea as to where I was. 13:52.164 --> 13:54.874 Did you not notice any change of sound under the wheels? 13:55.000 --> 13:56.543 I listened, Mr. Holmes. 13:57.169 --> 14:02.215 Sometimes we seemed to be on a paved causeway, sometimes on asphalt, 14:02.800 --> 14:05.301 but there was nothing to tell me where I was. 14:05.427 --> 14:10.723 And no other sounds... a ship's siren or church bell? 14:10.891 --> 14:12.684 I'm sorry, nothing like that. 14:12.810 --> 14:15.812 At what time did you finally reach your destination? 14:17.022 --> 14:19.732 Ten minutes to 9:00 exactly. 15:40.481 --> 15:43.983 Is this Mr. Merlas, Harold. 15:44.151 --> 15:44.734 Yes. 15:44.860 --> 15:48.988 Well done, Ha Ha Ha, well done. 15:49.823 --> 15:54.494 No ill will, Mr. Merlas, I trust, 15:54.662 --> 15:57.330 but we could not get on without you. 15:57.581 --> 16:01.834 If you deal fair with us, you'll not regret it, 16:02.002 --> 16:05.129 but if you try any tricks, God help you. 16:06.006 --> 16:07.507 What do you want of me? 16:07.841 --> 16:11.928 Only to ask a few questions of a Greek gentleman who's visiting us, 16:12.054 --> 16:16.182 and to let us have the answers. But, you say no more than you are told, 16:16.350 --> 16:20.103 or it were better you had never been born. 16:26.276 --> 16:30.196 Mr. Merlas, pray continue. 16:31.448 --> 16:37.036 Well then, this man, this evil man, 16:37.871 --> 16:43.334 showed me to a room which appeared to be very curiously furnished. 16:45.045 --> 16:50.008 But again, the only light was afforded by a single lamp 16:50.592 --> 16:52.135 half turned down. 17:22.791 --> 17:24.250 The slate, Harold. 17:28.881 --> 17:30.673 Are his hands loose? 17:44.438 --> 17:45.688 Take this. 17:51.111 --> 17:57.700 You will ask the questions, Mr. Merlas, and he will write the answers. 17:58.452 --> 18:03.790 Ask him, first of all whether he's prepared to sign the papers? 18:43.580 --> 18:44.580 "Never." 18:50.504 --> 18:52.630 On no conditions? 19:08.355 --> 19:14.777 He writes, "only if I see her married in my presence by a Greek priest, whom I know." 19:17.906 --> 19:20.533 You know what awaits you, then? 19:33.505 --> 19:37.508 He says, "I care nothing for myself." 19:38.385 --> 19:40.219 And so it went on, 19:41.388 --> 19:46.058 again and again I had to ask him whether he would give in and sign the document. 19:46.518 --> 19:50.980 Again and again, I had the same indignant reply. 19:52.566 --> 19:55.568 But soon, a thought came to me. 19:56.445 --> 20:00.740 I took to adding on little sentences of my own to each question, 20:01.700 --> 20:05.745 innocent ones at first, to test whether either of our companions 20:05.913 --> 20:07.538 knew anything of the matter. 20:08.582 --> 20:12.418 And then, as I found that they showed no sign, 20:13.253 --> 20:16.214 I played a more dangerous game. 20:18.926 --> 20:25.056 This obstinacy is doing you no good. 20:45.702 --> 20:48.788 He says, "I care not." 20:58.006 --> 21:01.884 In fact, he had also told me he was a stranger in London. 21:02.970 --> 21:08.474 He then told me he had been here three weeks, and was being forcibly starved. 21:11.645 --> 21:12.979 Starved? 21:15.649 --> 21:17.483 Did you manage to find out his name? 21:18.026 --> 21:21.570 Cretites. He was from Athens. 21:22.614 --> 21:25.616 But that was all I could discover, unfortunately. 21:26.326 --> 21:28.411 Another five minutes, and I should have wormed out 21:28.537 --> 21:31.664 the whole story under their very noses. 21:33.292 --> 21:35.334 Ask him again, Mr. Merlas. 21:36.628 --> 21:40.464 But at that instant, the door opened, 21:41.216 --> 21:44.302 and a woman stepped into the room. 21:46.305 --> 21:47.179 He says, "never." 21:47.347 --> 21:49.307 Well, ask him again! 21:52.477 --> 21:55.104 Harold, I could not stay away any longer. 21:55.230 --> 22:00.359 Sophia, Sophia, Sophia! 22:14.041 --> 22:21.213 That will do, Mr. Merlas. 22:24.843 --> 22:27.636 As you perceive, 22:28.555 --> 22:34.393 we have taken you into our confidence over some very private business. 22:39.649 --> 22:46.072 Here are five sovereigns, which will, I hope, be a sufficient fee. 22:46.239 --> 22:50.409 But remember, if you speak to anyone about this, 22:50.744 --> 22:55.498 one human soul mind, 22:55.916 --> 23:03.422 well, may God have mercy on your soul. 23:28.532 --> 23:34.203 As before, I was taken in a closed carriage for almost two hours. 23:37.290 --> 23:41.127 There I was abandoned, as I was later to discover, 23:41.336 --> 23:43.212 near Wentsworth Common. 23:59.813 --> 24:02.106 I did not know where I had been, 24:02.232 --> 24:04.817 nor whom I had spoken with nor anything, 24:05.235 --> 24:07.153 saving what I have told you. 24:13.326 --> 24:15.995 But I know there is foul play going on 24:16.329 --> 24:21.500 and I want to help that unhappy man... before God, I do. 25:05.378 --> 25:06.504 Mycroft. 25:08.673 --> 25:09.882 Mycroft! 25:10.926 --> 25:12.885 What steps have you taken so far? 25:13.929 --> 25:17.223 Well, this was in all the daily papers, 25:18.892 --> 25:22.228 "Anyone having information as to the whereabouts of a Greek gentleman" 25:22.395 --> 25:26.815 "named Paul Cretites, who cannot speak English, will be rewarded." 25:26.983 --> 25:30.903 "As ever a reward will be paid to anyone having information about a Greek lady," 25:31.071 --> 25:35.199 "whose first name is Sophia," name is Sophia," but no answer as yet. 25:35.325 --> 25:36.408 What about the Greek Legation? 25:36.576 --> 25:38.244 I have tried. They know nothing. 25:38.411 --> 25:40.246 The head of the Athens police, then! 25:42.958 --> 25:46.752 Sherlock has all the energy in the family. 25:47.420 --> 25:51.590 When you take up a case, by all means, let me know if you do any good! 25:52.259 --> 25:53.425 Certainly. 25:53.760 --> 25:55.344 Mr. Merlas, sir. 25:59.975 --> 26:03.769 I should be extremely careful if I were you, but of course, 26:03.937 --> 26:07.940 through these advertisements. They'll know that you've betrayed them. 26:54.154 --> 26:54.987 Whoops. 26:57.282 --> 26:58.449 On your way. 26:58.908 --> 27:01.577 It seems to me obvious that this Greek girl has been 27:01.703 --> 27:04.163 carried off by the young Englishman, Harold Latimer. 27:04.289 --> 27:05.748 Carried off from where? 27:06.333 --> 27:07.291 Athens, perhaps? 27:07.417 --> 27:10.085 No, no, no... this Harold Latimer cannot speak a word in Greek. 27:10.211 --> 27:11.962 The girl speaks English fairly well, inference, 27:13.214 --> 27:17.301 that she has been in England some little time, and he has not been in Greece. 27:27.354 --> 27:28.687 Thank you Miss Jackson. 27:29.689 --> 27:34.610 Then, let's presume that the girl was visiting in England and that this Harold. 27:34.736 --> 27:36.362 Persuaded her to fly with him. 27:36.529 --> 27:37.321 That is more probable. 27:37.447 --> 27:40.366 Then the brother, that must be the relationship, 27:40.533 --> 27:43.035 comes over from Greece in order to intervene, 27:43.203 --> 27:47.998 they see him, use violence to force him to sign some documents, 27:48.124 --> 27:49.875 making over the girl's fortune to them. 27:50.043 --> 27:55.381 He's probably the trustee. This as we have heard he refuses to do. 27:55.548 --> 27:58.550 So far.
