2. 0:05Murders in the Rue Morgue, by Edgar Allan Poe.
3. 0:10PART 5 I was stunned.
4. 0:19Auguste Dupin, my friend with the extraordinarily sharp mind and observational powers,
5. 0:28still had surprises for me.
6. 0:30He had uncovered so much about the horrifying Rue Morgue murders
7. 0:38that it seemed there was more understanding than mystery left.
8. 0:44But still, the major question remained.
9. 0:48Who? Dupin had invited someone to our home.
10. 0:54Someone he believed knew the answer to that question.
11. 0:58As we awaited his arrival,
12. 1:02my friend began to put together other pieces of evidence from the crime.
13. 1:10We add for our consideration the condition of the room.
14. 1:15So we have a strength more than human,
15. 1:19a wildness less than human, a murder without reason, horror beyond human understanding, ending,
16. 1:26and, finally, a voice without a recognizable language.
17. 1:32A cold feeling went up and down my back.
18. 1:36A madman, Dupin!
19. 1:38Someone who has lost his mind.
20. 1:42Only a madman could have done these murders.
21. 1:46Dupin smiled a little.
22. 1:49Ah, but madmen come from one country or another, don't they?
23. 1:54Their cries may be terrible, but they are made of words, and some of the words can be understood.
24. 2:02Let me help with one more clue.
25. 2:05Look at this hair.
26. 2:07I took it from the fingers of the old woman.
27. 2:10Is this the hair of a madman?
28. 2:13Dupin handed me the evidence.
29. 2:16I could not believe what I was looking at, or the feel of it in my hands.
30. 2:22DuPont, what is this?
31. 2:25This hair is…
32. 2:27this hair is not from a human at all."
33. 2:31I described it only as hair, but also look at this picture.
34. 2:37It is a picture of the marks on the daughter's neck.
35. 2:41The doctor said these marks were made by fingers.
36. 2:45Let me the paper on the table before us.
37. 2:49Try to put your fingers, all at the same time,
38. 2:52on the picture, so that your hand and its fingers will fit the picture of the marks on the daughter's neck.
39. 3:00The marks left by the killer's hands were enormous.
40. 3:05My fingers seemed like twigs in comparison.
41. 3:10Dupan, these marks were made by no human hand.
42. 3:16No they were not.
43. 3:18I am guessing they are from the hand of an orangutan.
44. 3:22The size, strength and wildness of these apes is well known.
45. 3:28And the hair and strange sounds would complete the solution of killer animal as well.
46. 3:36Yet, I still do not understand the second voice.
47. 3:42We know it was a French-speaking man.
48. 3:46His only words were, mon dieux.
49. 3:49Who spoke, du pair?
50. 3:52Upon those two words, I have placed my hopes of finding a full solution to the crime.
51. 3:59The my god was an expression of horror.
52. 4:02her. It seems improbable that the speaker of those words helped the orangutan.
53. 4:09Could he instead be its owner?
54. 4:12Maybe the animal escaped from him and he followed it to the house on the Rue Morgue.
55. 4:18I assume that the man would not have been able to recapture it.
56. 4:23Is that who we are waiting for now, DuPont?
57. 4:26The Frenchman? How did you reach him?
58. 4:30My friend smiled when he answered,
59. 4:35I put an ad in the newspaper.
60. 4:38Read it yourself.
61. 4:41I took the newspaper.
62. 4:43Caught early in the morning of the seventh of this month.
63. 4:48A very large orangutan.
64. 4:52The owner, who is known to be a sailor, sailor, may have the animal again if he can prove it is his.
65. 5:01But, Dupin, how can you know that the man is a sailor?
66. 5:07I do not know it.
67. 5:09I simply suspect.
68. 5:11A sailor could go up that pole on the side of the house.
69. 5:16Sailors travel to faraway lands where one might find an orangutan.
70. 5:21And it would be valuable.
71. 5:25The sailor would want it back, so...
72. 5:29Finally, Dupin, we learned the whole truth.
73. 5:34Come in, my friend.
74. 5:35Come in. Slowly the door opened, and there, before us, stood a sailor.
75. 5:44He spoke in French.
76. 5:47Bonsoir. Good evening to you too, my friend.
77. 5:51I suppose you have come to ask about the orangutan.
78. 5:55Yes. Is it here?
79. 5:58No, no. We have no place for it here.
80. 6:02If you can prove it is yours.
81. 6:05But of course I can.
82. 6:08A shame. I wish I could keep it.
83. 6:11It is very valuable, I guess.
84. 6:13Well, I want it back, of course.
85. 6:17I will pay you for your trouble to find it and keep it.
86. 6:20What is your price?"
87. 6:22Well, that is very fair indeed, but it is not money I want, sir.
88. 6:28My price is truth.
89. 6:31Tell me everything you know about the murders in the Rue Morgue.
90. 6:36The sailor's face reddened deeply.
91. 6:40He jumped to his feet.
92. 6:42For a moment he stood and stared.
93. 6:46But then he fell back into his chair, trembling.
94. 6:51His face grew pale, his eyes closed, and he said said not a word.
95. 6:58Dupin then spoke softly.
96. 7:02My friend, you must not be afraid.
97. 7:06We are not going to hurt you.
98. 7:08I know very well that you yourself are not the killer,
99. 7:12but it is true that you know something about him, or about it.
100. 7:18You've done nothing wrong.
101. 7:20You didn't even take any of the money.
102. 7:22You have no reason to be afraid to talk and to tell the truth.
103. 7:27It is a matter of honor for you to tell all you know.
104. 7:32So help me, God.
105. 7:35I'll tell you all I know.
106. 7:38About a year ago, our ship sailed to the Far East, to the island of Borneo.
107. 7:45The forest there, the jungle, was thick with trees and other plants.
108. 7:50and hot and wet and dark.
109. 7:54My friend and I wanted to explore the strange place, so we did.
110. 8:00There we saw the orangutan and caught it, and it returned with us to the ship.
111. 8:08My friend died on the passage home, so the animal became mine alone.
112. 8:19I was to sell it very soon.
113. 8:23One night, I came home, and it was...
114. 8:27it was loose.
115. 8:28It had got free.
116. 8:30I don't know how.
117. 8:32It held a knife in its hands.
118. 8:34It did not know of its dangers, of course.
119. 8:37It was playing with it.
120. 8:39As soon as the animals saw me, it jumped up and ran from the house.
121. 8:44house. I followed.
122. 8:46It ran several blocks and turned a corner.
123. 8:49When I made the same turn, the animal was out of sight.
124. 8:53I looked far down the street and saw nothing.
125. 8:57Then I heard a noise above me.
126. 9:00There was the beast, climbing a pole up the side of a house.
127. 9:05It was maybe two meters up.
128. 9:08I also went up the pole.
129. 9:10As I am a sailor, it was easy for me.
130. 9:14When the animal was close to the top, I saw him jump through an open window.
131. 9:19I got to the same place but could not make the jump.
132. 9:23I could see into the room, however, through another window which was closed.
133. 9:29The two women were sitting there, looking at papers from a box on the floor.
134. 9:34The animal, knife still in hand, made a noise, and the old woman turned.
135. 9:41That is when I heard the first of those terrible cries.
136. 9:45I watched with horror as the animal attacked.
137. 9:50Soon the two were dead, and the room was a disaster.
138. 9:55The orangutan then pushed the young woman's body up the chimney.
139. 10:01It picked up the other victim, then, and moved toward the window.
140. 10:05I realized what was coming, and I fled.
141. 10:09Down the pipe, I scrambled.
142. 10:11At the bottom, I heard the old woman's body hit the ground.
143. 10:16I ran. I didn't look back.
144. 10:19I ran. Oh, monsieur.
145. 10:25The police in Paris could not charge the sailor.
146. 10:30His only wrongdoing was silence, which is not a criminal offense, the police chief said.
147. 10:39However, the official did have a problem with Dupin.
148. 10:44He was angry that Dupin, and not a member of his force, had solved the mystery.
149. 10:51He said, people should mind their own business.
150. 10:57Let him complain.
151. 10:59He'll feel better for it, and maybe learn something.
152. 11:04Perhaps he will never again say, not possible, about that which, somehow, must be possible.
