13:15
the legend of the twin brothers who
13:17
owned the dutch hotel

13:24
of the hotel
13:26
including the kitchens the laundry
13:28
the garages and talk to the store
13:31
particular asking if they had ever
13:33
seen anything the turning
13:36
point as point as would come when
13:38
they open the safe in the cellar revealed
13:41
would have a secret square held within
13:44
they'll find a place
13:46
to they used in a jewel inside
13:49
best safe said yogi
13:51
really
13:53
they did older
13:54
you kids understand the high
13:56
drama of the film
13:59
so you'll get
13:59
though me what do you think about
14:02
this idea when to raise
14:04
to raise to hotel we get
14:06
a safe cracker to blow up the safe
14:08
with explosives and we find
14:11
out what's inside
14:13
do you think that would look on the scene
14:19
the or hate to be a spoilsport
14:22
but what if these dot these good
14:24
side
14:25
the or we fight it out cheese sandwich
14:27
or about stretch
14:29

14:32
the you were process blue spot
14:34
read younger
14:36
leading up to you
14:38
you find a key to the say some we can
14:40
make sure that it is not them
14:42
that we've searched for the key
14:45

pablo safe cracker now
15:24
peter could you t
15:26
he knew that he couldn't now the secret
15:29
the he decided that it was time she got
15:31
a word him
15:36
good a hunch that they might
15:38
be a secret compartment in reception
15:40
desk
15:41
i know a lot of all desk system
15:44
that's where i think the key would be
15:47
the likely that that desk polish didn't
15:49
i didn't find a secret compartments
15:55
video
15:56
that was willing to give any i do itunes
15:59
the only way out the
16:02
three of them went over to the reception desk
16:04
with that morning or was it one
16:06
hundred and fifty years ago
16:09
they had seen mister cooper hi
16:11
the key
16:13
the secret compartment
16:16
history teacher told us about
16:18
li secret desks
16:20
video
16:22
if you open up a little tour
16:24
in the center says like this minutes
16:27
a cupboard the keeping that
16:31
the decide they probably
16:33
come else
16:34
you secret compartment
16:37
you seem very certain
16:41
raheem he took a look
16:43
at the desk at first
16:45
he could not pull out the full moon not
16:48
he helped him
16:49
and to his surprise say
16:52
sounders
16:53
secret compartment and
16:55
the key that was inside it
17:01
yeah
17:02
allen was completely baffled as
17:04
to how his son and daughter could
17:07
have been a spot on
17:09
no
17:10
they went down to the center and try
17:12
to key in the look of says
17:14
steve
17:16
the doors of faith opened
17:19
with a clean
17:23

17:37
the bathing
17:39
that their father
17:41
it sold to tell you where the key whoop
17:44
we promise she doesn't have anything
17:46
about this look that
17:49
the weekend papers and year they
17:51
might be interesting
17:54
that currently pulled out the book those papers
17:57
they took them up case office
18:01
it looks like the lady was cool
18:03
maria cooper
18:05
she did not marry over of them
18:08
he married
18:10
osman
18:11
alan investigated further
18:13
the send a letter from the real saw the
18:15
mr cooper
18:17
it wouldn't easy to decipher the handwriting
18:20
doctor studying is a while he
18:22
said
18:24
seems she married a young
18:26
man caught it would who worked
18:29
as the hotels doormen he
18:31
came into his inheritance which was
18:34
a small farm in hampshire and
18:36
they wait to live there
18:38
the thing is mister cooper is writing
18:40
to the dutch twins which
18:42
does not make any sense if
18:44
they shot each other
18:47
it makes sense if they both missed
18:49
it
18:51
had
18:53
i did
18:55
nazi they realized
18:57
there was no sense in because
18:59
maria has run off
19:01
to edward
19:02
will you kids seem to load awful
19:04
lot about this key in the safe
19:07
and this event but i
19:09
wherever you know
19:11
i think you might save my job
19:14
hope the older is pleased when i tell this
19:17
i hope so too
19:18
the nothing
19:20
i think she would is presented is it dot
19:22
twins so each other she
19:24
says she wanted a romantic tragedy
19:26
not to call the key
19:29
you know think you're right
19:31

19:32
i think i'll keep the evidence what really
19:35
happened

19:39
, the pistols back in the safe
19:41
and locket and we'd her safe cracker

door off it's hinges to
19:48
be very happy to following the
19:50
two pistols no
19:52
need for any of this paper
19:54
that contradicts her rub antique
19:56
ideas
19:58
what about the truce
19:59
off nothing
20:02
the crew is something
20:04
that has remained safe
20:06
all these years under lock
20:08

20:09
that will keep it that way
20:11
who killed
20:13
religion

25:08
is one big country where
25:10
we don't have a publisher and

that is the u s a
