Sherlock Holmes - The Engineers Thumb

0:00In Argentina. You know me? He's in an outbreak! The 30-kilometer... ...I don't know what you're going to be up to! What might he say to me? What's all this? No! No! What's this? Outrage indeed was the torment inflicted on young Victor Hathale and clearly a case for my friend and shall have a good life. My name is Dr. Martin and I would privilege to share the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. I will tell you about the case of the Engineers' Thumb. It began with myself asleep and little suspecting the emergency that was to awake me and just of you murmurs.

1:01I'm more... What is it? What is it? It's a big sir! Oh, I'll carry it away! Sir, I've seen an accident, sir. Someone from the railway. It's not on the railway? No, it's someone from the railway, sir. Some patents and they're downstairs in the consulting room. Oh, they're well, we'll see. I'll be down in a couple of moments. We'll see what we'll be waiting for. Morning, Dr. Watson. Oh, my God! Mr. Watson, what is it today? It's this gentier sir. He can't. It is the bad way to talk to me. What are you, man? No, sir. A passenger. Came in by train from Reading Way just now. I was waiting to find the doctor, quick. So I brought him around here. The early iron nose. Oh, that's very good. Well, look at him. Well, if it's all the same to you, sir, I must be getting along with him, guys. But, my duty is same as you, sir. I'd ride. Thank you, and you'll mention it, Dr. Watson.

2:02Goodbye, old gent. Hope you'll be all right. Oh, thanks. Now then, let's, um, interwo, look. Your hand, eh? My... my thumb. Oh, what? Right off. Oh, hold on a little while, eh? Well, I get this hatred for where? Oh, please, miss you all. Oh, sir. Who's this now? Yes, sir. Yes, sir, is it? Yeah. Oh, my George. Bit of a mess, isn't it? Yes, when I get this cleaned up a bit, I... I'm... Well, I'm good. Well, like this, I was to bleed terribly. He did. I'll find you the first. Maybe. When I came around, it was too bleeding, so I... I wonder how much you've tried with that twig. Stop it. Look, if you knew what to do. Come and send.

3:02Matter of hydraulics at all. Uh? Hydraulics? Hydraulic principle. Cut off the flow from the pump. From an engineer, he's been told we're guests. Hattily, victor-hattily, victorious tree. How did you happen? Look, there's something heavy and sharp, did it? Some kind of knife. Only it wasn't an accident, doctor. Not to mention. It was a murderous attack. An attack? I just moved. This must be kept up with... With a thing. Yeah. But, then I think it will still live it more. I'm glad to tell someone. Because I have to tell it all to the police, isn't it? It's a truth, though. It won't be a good idea. I doubt that the label word is it. It's an extraordinary story. And I have another shitter proof behind me. Look, I have a label before you go into file. I think I might be able to help you. What more can you do? You know what you call my name? What's... It might mean something to you if I mention the name of Sherlock Holmes.

4:02Sherlock Holmes? You mean you're thinking of Sherlock Holmes? I am. Well, I would say that from the sound of your case so far, this is just the sort of matter for my friend. If your tale is half the same as you say, you'll find a ready listener in Sherlock Holmes. I can promise you. Oh, my dear, sir. You're looking at new men already. Not it. Begin at the beginning and take your time. Well, you must know first that I live alone in Lodging's in town. I set up in business as a hydraulic engineer a couple of years ago with a legacy after my father died. I had done seven years of apprenticeship before that with Ben or a Mathisler of Greenwich. Well, I suppose most people find starting up on their own a bit sticky. During these two years of the stone, I've had three consultations and one small job. I've made exactly 27 pounds ten. Well, anyway, what I was leading up to was that yesterday, just as I was thinking of packing up for yet another empty day, my talk came in with a card.

5:03Of course, hello. It was surprising. He said, again, don't want to do this to see you, sir. To see me? Well, you say, to see you? He said he's got. Oh, yes, sir. Oh, thank you. Colonel, my sander's stock. Thanks. Well, I'm showing him at once at once. By the way, Mr. Hathley, what do you expect this way, sir? You're just not getting your cash, Mr. Hathley. There's a three months. Oh, it's that stone. Colonel, my sander's stock, sir. A piece of me, sir. A thank you, Robinson. Very good, sir. Play, have a seat, sir. Well, thank you. Mr. Hathley, you have been recommended to me as a man who is not only professional in his profession, but is also discrete and capable of preserving a secret. I have a professional commission for you in which secret sickness is essential. Absolute secrecy. I give you my words. Blended. But I'll be grateful if you'd stage your business now.

6:03Okay, and all my time is valuable. Really? Well, how would this begin is for a nice work, sir? Fifty-giggy. Most admirably. I say a nice work, but an hour is a year or more, really. I sincerely want your opinion about the hydraulic sensing machines which have got out of gear. If you show us what is wrong with it, we'll circuit right ourselves. Now, how does that suit you? Who? Yes. Only with the ones who come tonight. That's why we have to pay our other highly. Where must I come from? To A4 in Bachsham. There's a train from Pattingham that will catch you there about 11.50. It's the last train. If you come on that, I will lead you a day for station. Our place is about 7 miles from the station. Hashtag I get back? You will give you a shake down for the night. Oh, it's not trouble. My trouble, words. My earlier appointments tomorrow. Me, earlier. Forgiveness of the housing that you are as occupied as you would have needed. It's to recompense you for whatever inconvenience you might need

7:05that we have prepared to pay a young and unknown man like you. The sort of fear that would fire an opinion from the very head to be a profession. I repeat, we prefer you to come on the train I have mentioned. Very well, I'll come. Mr. Hazelweath, you're not aware that Fuller's Earth is a valuable product in this country. Certainly. I believe it's an account in one of the places that is so. Well, some little time ago, I bought this place of mine not far from ratings. And I found the deposit of Fuller's Earth in one of my feet. Really? Not only that. I have since discovered that this quite small deposit happens to be just a link between two very much larger ones. Both of these are in the grounds of my neighbors. Well, naturally, when I found this out, I had to take steps to buy their land as quickly as possible. But I had no capital of my own. So I had to take the opinion of a few friends. But to cut along stories short, from my friends, money and what I could raise,

8:08we erected a hydraulic press on our site and we've been working away ever since. This is the press which has now broken down. I see. Of course, the whole operation is highly successful. And if it became known that hydraulic engineers of all people were visiting our little house, they would be good-bye to the chance of getting those things, you understand? Yes, of course. And now, Mr. Happily, I really must be going. I shall see you tonight, sir. Oh, yes, I'll be there. But one question more, Colonel, sir. Yes. He's supposed to tag out like gravel from a pit. But that is so. Then I don't quite see. Ah, forgive me, Mr. Happily. You were wondering about the hydraulic press. Oh, yes. We have our own process, you see. We compress the fuller's Earth into bricks. So that they can be removed, but at any danger of people who might see them, realizing what they are, and now, will buy you. I shall be waiting for you, but therefore, that you live in 15 minutes.

9:09Thank you, Mr. Happily. You brought it? Yes, sir. You're indeed. So, as soon as I can see the point of it, all 50 again is for a night's work, makes a convincing argument. I won't deny it, Mr. Holmes. You don't know what about it? No, I kept my promise exactly. Let's very go on with the story. Well, all I got to read it on time, I was there in the passenger getting down there. Colonel Sark was waiting for me outside the wiki gate. He didn't say anything, he just lost my arm, and I also got over to a carriage standing with his doors open. As soon as we were in, that's on the woodwork and the way we went. As far as the horse could go, one forced? Yes, everyone. Did you observe the colour? Yes, I saw it by the side-lights when I was stepping into the carriage. It was a chestnut. Tad, looking more fresh. Oh, fresh and glossy. Thank you. I'm sorry it was uninterrupted to follow the talk. Well, we were driving for at least an hour. The way we were going on the time we took, I'd said, with more like 12 miles than the suddenly told me.

10:09I couldn't see out of the windows, and the Colonel wasn't inclined to talk. Did you notice what the roads were like? They're perfect and pretty rough. We joked it and merged it the way. A golden. When we suddenly came off the roads onto a smooth driveway, we seemed pulled up. Straight away, Colonel Stark had the door open, and hustle beyond the house where he stopped. It was unfortably, I hadn't even time to see what the place looked like. It was pitch dark inside. A while the Colonel was funding about for matches, a door opened at the end of the hall, and a woman came through with a lamp in her hand. She spoke to the Colonel in German. Can you follow German, Mr. Happily? Well, I can read it slightly, but something spoken is the often made too fast to come because it was German. Oh, without a doubt. The one I could see was that whatever the Colonel told her, gave her a bit of a shock. She gave quite a start. Then he took the lamp from her and pushed her off in the way she'd come. He mentioned me through a door leading off the hall.

11:11Every time he's waiting in this room for a few minutes, I shall not keep you waiting long. Oh, let's go out of the way, sir. What's going on? No, do not speak. God, do not say it. No. There is no good for you to do. Good. Never mind. I have to do it. It is not worth your while to wait. You can pass through the door if you are quick. No one here ever falls in love of heaven. Get away from you before it is too late. I will go. Go away. Go away. Mr. Atholis, here is my secretary and manager Mr. Berger. How did you do? Well, we had better proceed to business.

12:11Mr. Berger from the library takes you out to see the machine. Oh, you can leave your hat here. We do not have to go out of the house. You mean you dig fullers earth in the house? No, no, no, no. This is only where we compress it. But you will see it. And Mr. Atholis, we are now actually inside the hydraulic press. The ceiling of this small chamber is really the end of the descending piston. It comes down slowly but it costs many times upon this level floor. The walls here are a roof. For yes, I see. And what's the trouble? There are small and laughable columns of water outside, which receive before and transmit and multiply. In a way, which is of course the nearest to you, it has been understood that perhaps there is the defense somewhere. The machine goes there really enough. But there is some stiffness in the working of it and it seems that I am not some of its faults. From what there is to see in here though, I am sure you are right in believing that the defense is so well on the outside.

13:12Do I have to say, if I may have a little bit? Of course, our balloons are out of here. Thank you. Oh, that's better. Is that not really better? No. Good evening. No, but since you have here all the things to do with this and quite stuff, what's the announcement of Atholis? I guess. So I see. Well, it's going to be a lot easier. May I test this? Hey, did you like it? Good. Ah, yes. Yes, it's quite obvious. You are holding it already. Hold on, just a minute, see. Yes. Just kidding with this rubber around the end of this driving rod here. It's quite fresh. It's not quite filling the socket as it moves along and the water is getting by. Atholis, how do you travel this kind of stuff? Well, we are very grateful for you Mr. Atholis. Very grateful indeed, I have heard of you. Absolutely. Very quick work. I think I will take one more glance inside just to make absolutely sure.

14:14Did you think it is necessary? I have always been here for these holders, meekles on this way. And the man who is the most patient, over here, did I really have to? I was back there. No, no, not him. Then your diagnosis is complete. Okay, Mr. Atholis. If you want one final opinion about the condition of your press, it is better if you tell me what it's merely used for. That could make it a success. I have told you, pressing full of air. Of course, excuse me, I'm not a fool. No matter this world would use a machine this size, a bit of my emphasis. And this metallic still pointed on the floor. I have not full of air. Mr. Atholis, you all together are two equities. Very well. You wish to know more about the working of this machine. You shall. You can stay here and investigate it at Trossy and Rich. Come with me. Get ready. Go, Scott.

15:15Atholis, you're in the corner, Scott. Think you're in the outrage. There you go, too. Atholis, you're in the outrage. Go, no. Come, I can't wait to hear you out. Also, um. Go, Atholis. Lily, you're here for. You must follow me, Krishki. And you will see no new things I can do. Of your rights. Which rights? Also, best being told, it is your only chance. Pretty well. You first. And then no. He will not have me. And we will be going to almost here. Right. He's actually letting go of Atholis. I am doing not let you.

16:16You will not feel scared. Mind your face. Get back, I think. Go. Go to hell. You will have a good hand. Go, Kaila. This is so great. It's like good loosen, but I thought it was so falling. You know, you're nothing more. It's very good easy, O Jeff. That's not for the fine being. Yes. I don't need you to go on now, though. I know what, but it's imperative that we have Mr. Atholis told you, competing every detail. But don't have to waste. The new standard, have you? Oh, yes. Yes, I am much better now. If you fell unconscious into their own garden, Mr. Atholis, how is it that they didn't secure you immediately? I shall never know, Mr. Holmes. The absolute villain was softened by the woman's impurities. I hardly think that likely. I never saw a more inexorable face of my life. Well, then? Well, the funny thing is that when I did come round and remember what had happened,

17:17I found myself lying in an eddro next to a road. My toes were softened with dew, and my toes were filled with grace and blood. I did my best on my hands with my hand, even the twigs. This is really good. Well, after a bit, I got up onto the road. Do you know, I found I was only a stone throw away from a station where the Colonel had met me the night before. You would have made your way there, Loh. It's semi-conscious, Steve. You wouldn't necessarily remember doing so. I suppose it's possible. Anyway, I got to the station. There was a train always to you. I think the best thing was to get in it and get back to town. All the way to Pattington, I asked the guard if he could get me a door of Dr. Rosen's rear-rise. Fortunately, he knew you, Dr. Watson. Well, Holmes, what do you say? He just hand me that book for the blue back box. Which one? No, no, no. Next shelf. That's it. No. Then, where is it? Just about a year ago, I think. What is all this? Just something which I think.

18:19Ah, yes. Here we are. Oh, I should explain this to Heffley. It's my practice to file Miss Elaine Eucycines which is exactly as curious in some way. Oh, I see. Listen to this, then. It is all the papers about a year ago. Lost on the ninth inch. The Pajerimae Hailing age 26. A hydraulic engineer. Good Lord. Lest his lodgings at 10 o'clock at night and has not been heard of since school. Well, the Heffley, I can say that represents the last time that the Colonel needed to have his machine overhauled. Good, good. Isn't it? It's quite the other Colonel's stock. If that's his name, it's a cool and desperate man. And was that smith at his time? That nothing should interfere with his little game. So what his game is, I think I can get. For Grimit's waste of time, if you feel up to it and what's going to allow you, I think you should come along to scoff and gathers with us. Get in here.

19:19Good Lord. You could come away and touch short misses, Bradstreet. The yard doesn't always move so swiftly. Oh, calm down, Mr. Holmes. You can't count many hours of your life spent waiting for me. Can he go to Washington? Can he go to the Zobbyman's vector at my advice? Well, not far to go now. I think we better have a look at that map. Sure isn't there. See, here's Afeford. As I said, I've drawn this through a deregis of 12 miles from it. You reckon about 12 miles, don't you, Mr. Avery? Well, we were in the carriage of good hour. The roads were bad, but we moved along pretty well. Still more to hold, I think. Right. But the place where to look for must be somewhere along this 12-mind line. The only point is which direction did you go after leaving the station?

20:20I think I could name, I think, Holmes. Oh, you couldn't miss the Holmes. Well, now I almost did say you had six fans or something, but I waited, it can't help you this time. What information have we got to help us? Nothing but an hour fast-carrying drive in the dark. It could have been in any direction at all. Now, for my part, I'd say we should look to the south. Why that? Because there's more dessert in that way. And what about you, Haveling? Well, I hardly know. West, perhaps. Several quadruple villages that way. Well, it could be north. Because we're no use there. Our friends said you didn't leave this carriage going up in him. A nice little piece of deduction. Well, that leaves only one point of the cup of sleep. And then we've got it boxed between us. But what do you say to East, Mr. Holmes? I'm fed I can't obliterate your inspector. North, South, East, West, Namantham, no do.

21:21But they cars all the wrong. No, no. Yeah, the bus sentiment. That's bad, say. It's so, the center of the circle. I don't get you at all, Mr. Holmes. Ten miles, five out, and five back. Twelve, six out, six back. It's quite simple. And as you've told me, what you were present all the time, Mr. Haveling, is remarkable. You not remember my question about the appearance of the carriage horse. Oh, yes, yes. You asked me with color. And he told me Chester, but there was something else. Let me think. Where were you? I remember. You asked whether I thought the horse tired looking or fresh. And you were a lion? Fresh and glossy. You're sure about that. Absolutely certain. There you are, Bradstreet. Colonel Stark drove to the station to meet Mr. Haveling. How far have he come? Ten or twelve miles over country road and arrived with his animal fresh and glossy.

22:22If not the... If you drove half a mile, I'd be surprised. But he was taking no chances of Mr. Haveling remembering that route. He found it well worth while taking him an hour's drive out into the country and back. To throw him well off the set. Oh, and this, if I'm not mistaken, is our destination. No, gentlemen, I don't think we shall have to stray far from A to find our quarry. Now that is, unless they've anticipated our coming. Take it. Take it, please, James. Uh, who are you? Hello? A for Don's part, bottom? There you are, my thing, so sir. I've been going all day, there. And some of the injured come right out from Reading, I hear. What is he then? A big house across the way, Dr. Breach's place. Started burning in the night. As we, they won't save us. Stick of it. Great old place like Tinder. Dr. Beecher.

23:22A German jet from Bajor. Oh, no, he's here. English has come. It's not funny you should mention it though. There's a foreign genstling with him. A patient, I understand. And a young lady, who very foreign, she's. This doctor Beecher, he's small and fat red face. That's right there, do you know him then? Ferguson. The big Gordon? No, it doesn't matter. What's happened to these people? Well, they must have got away. No sign of him in sign, according to the fiber. But I've heard that he did find one curious thing on it. A window still of the second floor. What was that? The newly-siberty human. Oh my. Oh, now that can to be there. Yes. I wonder. Well, thank you for that. Here you are. Oh, thank you, sir. I come along, gentlemen. We might as well fill in time until the next train deck. One doesn't see a good five every day. Do you mean it's full of them, sir?

24:24So far as you are concerned, has lay yes. Don't you agree, Inspector? Good. What about stock, the other fellow in the girl? Well, of course we can always keep our eyes open for them in the car. But I've been in a sphere that I've been hundreds miles off by now. Good to firm, sir. How did it so? Well, every guess, I'd be in time to say that when the pest came down to the floor, that room where you nearly lost your life. It's messed a lot because I'm with you and that started a bar guy. The walls were wooden units. That's right. And you think they shared all from their soul what it happened? If they did his sins, or at least they had the humanity to tell you what's alive beside the road. The girl must have been braver. Of course there could be no doubt as to the nature of this gang, or another thought, they are quite not going to last scale. They needed the machine to form the amount of them they've been using in place of themselves. This all enticing with some inquiries is we've had on our hands for longer than I like to admit.

25:27And pity about your thunzer, but if it hadn't been for your going to Dr. Watson and one thing or another, I guess. I see your point, Inspector. There's not much consolation for me. I lost my thumb. I lost a 50-geney fee. What have I gained? Experience my dear sir. There's nothing so valuable as the experience, they say. Find the right formula of words for this bizarre failure. And you'll be able to dine out on it for the rest of your day. Ae of peace. The case of the engineer's thumb was one of the stories of Sherlock Holmes

26:28who inspired him as the author Körnendoyl. My real name is Norman Schiddett. My friend Carlton Holt stayed Sherlock Holmes and I was Dr. Watson. Michael Hardwick wrote our script for this BBC production from London. I hope it may look forward to the pleasure of your company again soon. For more of the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Thank you.
