Short filmTranscript
00:00The Thread would have killed me long ago were I not somehow vital to their success.
00:05Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
00:07Welcome.
00:08Thank you, Prime Minister.
00:09Someone at Chief Inspector Whitlock's office immediately rang up Lord Witherssey.
00:13Warning him he was about to welcome Watson and Mrs. Hudson, not to mention the Ambassador's jewels.
00:17Unless I find the jewels by tomorrow afternoon, the Ambassador collects 50,000 pounds.
00:23The kidnappers must communicate with each other, and then Watson and Mrs. Hudson will once more be on the move.
00:30Our allies and friends are already strategically placed, and I will light up the sky with two signals.
00:36One colour representing where Watson and Mrs. Hudson have been kept, and the other colour representing where they are going.
00:43Prepare to write a warrant for... what do you call it?
00:46A wiretap, my lord.
00:48I can hear and record every conversation from the telephone of the Chief Inspector.
00:52Now, you go upstairs and provoke your superiors.
01:08No call yet, sir?
01:09No.
01:10The person using the telephone must wait to be alone in Whitlock's office.
01:14How long will that take, sir?
01:15Not long.
01:15The time frame I gave was designed to eliminate the possibilities of a messenger.
01:20Are you in danger, sir?
01:21No, no, no, no, no.
01:23It's not my safety at risk, but the lives of those I hold most dear.
01:27If I am wrong, if the culprit employing the telephone in Whitlock's office does not use it again,
01:33if we have nothing to record, then my trap springs shut on the wind.
01:38And my friends, my dearest friends, could die.
01:40I believe a cobbler can be found in Kensington.
02:07The hostages are travelling from the Dowager Duchess of Lincolnshire, Green, which is where Shaw and the Irregulars are stationed,
02:20to Kensington, the Duke of Leicester, Yellow, where they'll have to pass by 30.
02:27Now, excuse me, Shaw, I haven't a second to lose.
02:31But, sir, what should I do?
02:32Just continue recording the calls and pray that there is no change of plan.
02:37Wish me luck, Swann.
02:38Swann.
02:50Swann.
02:51I don't know.
03:21Green boys, look ahead, that's us.
03:31Two carriages, they may split them up.
03:40Half and half lads, you two take the second one, all right?
03:43Come on.
03:51That's the one.
04:10Head to the Duke of Leicester.
04:12That's it, Mr. Hannigan, let's go.
04:13Get it!
04:14Get it!
04:15Get it!
04:16Get it!
04:17Look what it is!
04:18Get it.
04:25Get it!
04:29Oh, my God.
04:59Take the yellow road to the Duke of Leicester.
05:18Time is of the essence, Danquist.
05:21Certainly, sir.
05:29Let's wear the carriage.
05:32Let's go.
05:33Get after him.
05:47Is this it?
05:48Let's go.
06:19Come on.
06:20Keep going.
06:22Almost there.
06:24Keep going.
06:25Keep going, guys.
06:33Don't take the drive.
06:35Look to the hostages.
06:37It's my sister.
06:39Let me miss it.
06:40Okay.
06:42It won't punch.
06:44Let me in there.
06:52Ah, Holmes.
06:54How kind of you to join us.
06:56Thank you for following my instructions so closely.
06:58Two carriages.
06:59My God.
07:01Clever but not clever enough.
07:02Come on.
07:03Is it Mr. Holmes?
07:06Oh, my Lord.
07:08I must be dreaming.
07:10Everyone seems to be floating.
07:12Bear me.
07:13Steady, Mrs. Hudson.
07:15Steady.
07:15Oh, sister.
07:17Dear sister.
07:17Tell Mrs. Hudson to my carriage.
07:19Take great care.
07:20Yes, she's been heavily dosed with opium.
07:29All right.
07:30Watson.
07:31Come on, Shaw.
07:33Get this open.
07:34Come on.
07:35Holmes.
07:41Holmes.
07:41Holmes.
07:42Oh, yes.
07:43Oh.
07:44What?
07:45You found it.
07:45Yes, of course.
07:46I knew you would.
07:47Of course.
07:48You've been very heavily sedated.
07:50Yes.
07:50We'll get you home.
07:51Yes.
07:52We can have a proper rest.
07:53No, no, no.
07:53Yes.
07:54No, the gold.
07:54The banking, the rob.
07:56Robbing the Bank of England.
07:57What?
07:58They may have done it already.
08:00Who?
08:00I'm going to fall.
08:01What?
08:02Oh, my God.
08:03Get it.
08:03Take it.
08:06Take it.
08:07It's my carriage.
08:08Come on.
08:09All right.
08:10One.
08:11There we go.
08:12Here we go.
08:12Here we go.
08:12Here we go.
08:32Lady Violet.
08:32How may I help you?
08:34I must speak with the ambassador.
08:35Despite the lateness of the hour, my husband is still at the embassy.
08:39Would you care to leave a message?
08:41Sorry for the inconvenience, but I must wait for his return.
08:45Then may I use your telephone?
08:47I need to make an important call to Scotland Yard.
08:49Chief Inspector Whitlock here.
09:01To whom am I speaking, please?
09:02Your batters, that's who.
09:04And I have a serious problem.
09:06I have already solved quite a few of your problems, Lady Violet, including those related
09:10to the less than accidental death of one of your debutantes.
09:14Your taste for violence has become...
09:17I am in no mood for a lecture on morality, especially from a man who has been so handsomely
09:22rewarded for betraying the law.
09:24If you wish to escape with your prize, you'll continue to assist me.
09:29Assist you?
09:29How?
09:30With that awful girl, Amelia Rojas.
09:34The American ambassador insisted I place in his household.
09:39She knows I have the designs to her mother's weapon.
09:42I want her out of the way.
09:43Your hatred of this girl is a distraction from Holmes whom you continue to underestimate.
09:49I have been right about Sherlock so far.
09:53But the girl is more unpredictable and so a threat.
09:56I am presently involved in the most delicate part of our entire enterprise, and Holmes must
10:02not suspect that he is being led to do our bidding.
10:05His arrogance won't allow him to suspect.
10:08And as for the girl, have one of your idiot inspectors pick her up and taken care of in
10:13prison, like he did with Charlie the coachman.
10:16There is nothing I can do to remove the girl while she is at the ambassador's residence.
10:20Very well.
10:22At my first opportunity, I will kill her myself.
10:26You scared me half to death.
10:49I'm sorry, I couldn't go through the front door.
10:51Why?
10:52Because it's so late?
10:53No, it's not the hour, although I'd have some explaining to do if the Pinkertons had
10:57seen me.
10:58Does the lateness of your return have anything to do with Mr. Wiley?
11:01No.
11:02No.
11:02Shh.
11:03Not at all, actually.
11:05It's...
11:07Clara, listen to me, okay?
11:09The person who planned my kidnapping and yours, who killed Emma and murdered my mother, is
11:18downstairs right now in your father's study.
11:21Who on earth are you talking about?
11:23Lady Violet Somerset arrived two hours ago and insisted on waiting for you and helped
11:28herself to our telephone.
11:29But what could she possibly want?
11:30It's quite nearly morning.
11:31The sooner I talk with her, the faster she will leave.
11:35If there's a problem, my darling, if she's causing you distress...
11:39Nothing beyond this inexcusable intrusion, which will soon be over.
11:51At last!
11:52Your behaviour grows more reckless by the hour.
11:58And your tone more presumptuous.
12:01You may rank high in London society, but you hold no position of legitimate power.
12:07Whereas I am the United States Ambassador to the Court of St. James and the legal representative
12:11of my nation in Great Britain.
12:13I am well aware of your status.
12:15Indeed, I consider you to be one of my most valuable employees.
12:19Your employee?
12:20You may not wear my livery, but of no doubt, you are my servant.
12:25And on the verge of receiving an extraordinary reward for your labours, by this time tomorrow,
12:30I will have made you a hero to the public and one of the richest men in the world.
12:34One of the rich?
12:35May I remind you that the plan we are about to execute is mine.
12:40If not for me, the success of your conspiracy would have, at best, left the country you wish
12:45to dominate in financial ruin.
12:47I admit you finessed bribing the authorities with genius, and your change in what the robbery
12:53should accomplish was uncommonly clever, but I chose you.
12:56I came all the way to America under the pretense of helping your daughter, because I recognised
13:01that despite conspicuous failures, you had the will, the means, and immunity to accomplish
13:08what none of the rest of us could.
13:09So that you should attempt to interfere with selling this weapon when you know how important
13:17it is to my ultimate goal.
13:19I find it disloyal, to say the very least.
13:21Especially as I created a date for your daughter's ball at the cost of someone's life.
13:27Which was done without my knowledge or consent.
13:30You promised no murders, and now there have been bodies piling up beyond count.
13:35So no, I will not allow Clara's ball or my embassy to be used as an auction house for
13:41weapons.
13:43There's no more perfect place or occasion for this sale to take place.
13:48Every foreign diplomat in London may attend the ball without attracting suspicion.
13:51The actual exchange will be made discreetly in your stables.
13:57Perhaps I misled you a little about killing people, but I never denied our ultimate aim.
14:02Think, please.
14:04This is no ordinary weapon.
14:06You could decide the outcome of this war you seem so determined to start.
14:10Do you really have so little feeling for your own country?
14:14Don't be naive.
14:16This war will not be won on a field of battle.
14:19Indeed, the victors have already been crowned.
14:24They rule our boardrooms, banks, and foundries.
14:27By the day of surrender without knowing it, England will have been subsumed by industry.
14:33And the financial system by which I must live a beggar in my own family will come to an end.
14:40You say I have no feeling for my country.
14:42It is my country that has no feeling for me.
14:46This is not the future Dan Moriarty espouses.
14:49Well, he is ridiculous.
14:51And, like Holmes, will have soon served his purpose.
14:55The thread can dispense with them both.
14:57And the wretched girl, too.
15:00How you start your war and what you hope it will accomplish is up to you and your other bloody-minded accomplices.
15:06But that wretched girl is under my personal protection, which I will not withdraw.
15:14Really?
15:17Have you forgotten all about Clara's romance with your former coachman?
15:21You encouraged his advances.
15:23And taking my daughter hostage was both a betrayal and an outrage.
15:27Had you given me the keys when I asked your daughter's seduction would have been unnecessary, you forced my hand.
15:34And if you do so again, well, diplomatic immunity might keep you from an arrest.
15:41But nothing can protect you from a scandal like that.
15:45Do you ever wonder, Lady Violet, if you might be in over your head?
15:51I have outmaneuvered even Sherlock Holmes.
16:00You are no such challenge.
16:03Hopefully wealth and universal adulation will soften your outrage.
16:07Hide this well.
16:13Bring it with you to Clara's ball.
16:16Or your daughter's introduction to society will be the last night she appears in public.
16:29That witch wants to destroy me.
16:33She can't.
16:33The keys she was talking about, they have to be used at your debut.
16:38What do they unlock?
16:40Here I am, worried about my own future while Lady Violet plots your murder.
16:45It's not just my life that's being threatened.
16:47It's Mr. Holmes' two.
16:48And a war?
16:49I can't believe it.
16:50Why would Lady Violet want to start a war?
16:53Amelia, where are you going?
16:54To get the answers to your questions.
16:56And to make dead certain that nothing happens to you, Michael Wiley, or to Mr. Holmes.
17:02Take care.
17:03I now fear Lady Violet more than anything.
17:07You're not wrong.
17:09Wish me luck.
17:19Miss Rojas?
17:21Detective Swan?
17:22Sorry to startle you.
17:24What are you doing here?
17:25I've come to tell you, you're in great danger, and I must protect you until morning.
17:36The effects of the opium will wear also, but they should fully recover.
17:41When they come round, I advise fresh water, some warm soup, and a long hot bath.
17:46Thank you, Dr. Wells.
17:51Mr. and Mrs. Halligan.
17:52I will leave our patients in your care whilst I follow the scent.
17:56Not to worry, Holmes.
17:57We'll run these kidnappers to ground.
18:00I'm sure you will.
18:02But I must now turn my attention to the robbery of a significant amount of gold from the Bank
18:06of England.
18:07I do not know how you came to be aware of it.
18:10The transfer of the South African gold from the wharves to the bank was accomplished in
18:15complete secrecy.
18:17Boulevard supervised its transfer yesterday.
18:19And even if thieves could break into the bank, I mean, how would they escape with 8,000 ounces
18:24of solid gold?
18:25An excellent question, Boulevard.
18:28And I must ask the Bank of England to open their vault in order to answer it.
18:32If you will excuse me, I fear I may already be too late.
18:49Ah, Mr. Holmes, I hope you'll allow us to accompany you.
18:54If your charges are true, we must immediately join in the pursuit.
18:58For which I presume the reporter and the photographer standing behind you are indispensable.
19:03If circumstances allow, we must immediately alert the public.
19:06The Daily Chronicle was convinced to hold off on the mid-morning edition should our news
19:11require the front page.
19:12Well, I would have spared the yard such a salacious expose, but as you will.
19:19Well, dear me, Mr. Holmes, your alarms have us terrified and perplexed.
19:27This shipment of South African gold is essential to the bank's capital reserves.
19:32Without it, markets would collapse across the empire.
19:36I must hope you are wrong, Mr. Holmes.
19:40I assure you, Governor Kavanagh, nothing would give me more pleasure.
19:43Mr. Holmes, sir, would you mind posing in front of the gold?
20:05What gold?
20:09Well, this gold from South Africa, securely transferred from ship to vault under my direct supervision.
20:19May I, Inspector?
20:20Careful, Holmes. It's quite heavy.
20:23Note the fine powder appearing on the bar's exterior, indicating soluble salts moving to the surface.
20:30The effects of moisture, possibly related to the recent rains.
20:34I trust the powder will have no effect on the value?
20:37No, not at all.
20:38The gold will be worth exactly what it was when it was loaded into your vault.
20:44You see, gentlemen, these bars...
20:47...covering bits of lead...
20:51...painted a persuasive colour and bearing the proper imprint...
20:55...are 100%...
20:59...counterfeit.
21:03But how?
21:05I saw the gold being broken open out of the crates and tested and unloaded off the ship into a convoy of carriages.
21:11That much is certainly true.
21:13And I drove alongside these carriages all the way from the wharf to the bank.
21:16I believe you.
21:17And I observed the gold being carried into the bank.
21:19Now that that is impossible.
21:23The vault was neither opened nor breached.
21:26Yet this is not gold.
21:27Ergo, the gold was never here.
21:30Now, it was brought from the ships and walked past you by a group of coachmen,
21:34all of whom were part of a conspiracy to rob the bank.
21:37They arrived at the wharf in vehicles already filled with counterfeit bars of painted plaster.
21:42And the real gold was placed in the carriage's false bottoms.
21:45Now, you escorted the gold and these thieving coachmen across London.
21:50And upon arrival at the bank, the counterfeit bars were loaded into the vault.
21:54And the real gold was driven away, and where it has gone will take some thought.
21:58But that is hardly the most important question.
22:01The whereabouts of the gold is not the most important question.
22:04No, it is not.
22:05The most pertinent question is how was I able to envision this crime so quickly?
22:13And with such astonishing accuracy, I am used to making inferences far beyond the scope of untrained minds.
22:20But criminals seldom provide me with such flagrant clues, such as this plaster dust,
22:26flecked with gold paint, left behind in at least two of the carriages used in the robbery.
22:31How did you come across these carriages?
22:33Well, they were engaged again hours later in the relocation of Watson and Mrs. Hudson.
22:38Their coats were caked in gold dust, and we rescued them just in time to be told.
22:42Their captors were robbing the Bank of England.
22:45Well, what an amazing coincidence.
22:47Here's another.
22:48I was able to have a similar carriage dismantled right after it had been used in the attempted abduction of my former maid,
22:54so I knew about the false bottoms.
22:57And I assumed Scotland Yard contracted these vehicles from the Green and Crest Asylum for the criminally insane.
23:05It was an attempt to transport the gold to the vault using unremarkable conveyances.
23:11No, no, no, no.
23:13This cannot be true.
23:15Whoa.
23:32Whoa.
23:33Shouldn't I be taking you to Baker Street?
23:35No, I need to find where Michael Wiley works.
23:38Miss Rohath, wait, wait.
23:39Um, ladies cannot enter the exchange.
23:41I will go in, find this Michael Wiley, and bring him out to you.
23:45Yeah, but you don't know what he looks like.
23:46You there, move this carriage away from the Scotland Yard.
23:53Your badge could get me inside.
23:57Police business.
23:59Scotland Yard, out of the way, please.
24:01Police business, Scotland Yard, police business.
24:04Scotland Yard.
24:05Officer.
24:06Amelia, what are you doing here?
24:07Excuse me, officer, but I respectfully ask you to release Miss Rohaths immediately.
24:12Well, I can assure you, Mr. Wiley, that my holding of Miss Rohaths' wrist was necessary to keep her on the floor of this exchange, where she insisted upon hunting for you.
24:20It's okay.
24:20I overheard Lady Violet tell the ambassador that she wants to get rid of you, and me.
24:27What does Lady Violet have against us, did she say?
24:30Maybe it has something to do with your support of Home Rule.
24:33How would she know about that?
24:34Don't ask me, but she also wants to start a war.
24:38It won't happen.
24:39It's not possible.
24:43Stock market's crashing.
24:47Stay away from Lady Violet.
24:48Let Sherlock Holmes deal with her.
24:50I've got to get back to work.
24:52What is going on?
24:53Well, an epic crime.
24:54The Bank of England has been robbed.
24:56And will probably fail.
24:58We must go now.
25:00I'll take you back to Baker Street on the way to the yard.
25:02No.
25:03If this is really an epic crime, there's only one place Sherlock Holmes will be.
25:06This conversation you overheard between Lady Violet and the ambassador is most revealing.
25:21Now I know for certain why the jewels are so important and where they've gone.
25:26Where?
25:26To Chief Inspector Whitlock, for whom they were always intended as a bribe.
25:31He took over the search for them himself.
25:33And before Lord Withers, he shot himself.
25:36He must have told Whitlock where the gems were to be found.
25:39But what part does the ambassador play in the bank robbery?
25:41And how does he become a public hero?
25:43I don't know, but I can tell you who does.
25:46Chief Inspector Whitlock.
25:47He told you himself.
25:48Every day, the Home Office sends me a list of potential revolutionaries, misfits, and former felons.
25:53He must have hired some of them as drivers to steal the gold.
25:57Whitlock brought a reporter and a photographer with him today inside the vault.
26:01Well, maybe he didn't think you'd figure out what happened.
26:03Maybe he wanted to prove he's smarter than Sherlock Holmes.
26:06That's a mistake many have made to their regret.
26:08But consider this.
26:09The red thread gave me the means to lay bare the robbery, so...
26:13So?
26:13So should I not also know where the gold has gone?
26:16Why would they want you to find the gold?
26:18Why would they want me to know about the robbery at all?
26:20Okay.
26:21This is...
26:22It's...
26:23It's what you call a theory of the crime.
26:27So how do we prove it?
26:28By locating the gold without looking for it.
26:32Make Whitlock tell us.
26:34He's not only involved with the robbery, but he's also working for Lady Violet.
26:40Swan has a recording of a telephone conversation.
26:43Kill her.
26:44Kill her.
26:45So?
26:45Except I promised the Prime Minister nothing from the wiretap would be used in evidence.
26:50Well, Whitlock doesn't know that.
26:53Yes.
26:54Yes, very good idea.
26:55And I will follow up on Whitlock's ignorance of the prompt time, not just yet.
26:58If I am right, we should be able to deduce the gold's whereabouts based on the clues we already have.
27:03Remember, I overheard Lord Witherssey and the stables say that the coffins were about to become more valuable.
27:08They're worth less than they will be, a week or two hence.
27:11But Witherssey's needs were more immediate.
27:14Besides, you overheard that conversation without his knowledge.
27:17If my theory is correct, all clues left by the red thread must be deliberate.
27:24The telephone call is between Whitlock and the coffin factory.
27:27No, Whitlock called everyone.
27:29No, it needs to be something more specific.
27:33Oh.
27:34Well, what about this?
27:38The coffin screw from the ambassador's carriage.
27:41Why do you carry this with you?
27:45I guess as a keepsake.
27:47From the first day we started working together.
27:51Amelia, if I had known back then when we first met, if I understood...
27:57If I had made a better breakfast.
27:59Oh, that wretched breakfast.
28:01I shall never forget it.
28:04Well, to be fair, you didn't taste it.
28:06I chose life.
28:07It was the sensible solution.
28:08But you're quite right, this...
28:11This screw is so specific to Witherssey's factory.
28:17Yes.
28:19Yes, yes.
28:21That's why Weems and Maggot were executed.
28:25To cover their escape, they set fire to the very place the gold was to be hidden.
28:29The thread must have been furious.
28:31You certainly were.
28:33Do you think they left the screw there for you to find on purpose?
28:35Yes.
28:36Yes, someone brilliantly anticipated my actions, but they could never have foreseen yours.
28:41So, let us prove the theory by finding the gold.
28:45What if the coachmen are all still there at the factory?
28:48I mean, there are a lot of them.
28:50Do we need the police?
28:52No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
28:54We can't afford to have Whitlock warning them by telephone.
28:57Wait, I have the perfect solution.
28:59Yes.
29:03Swan, I have an idea where we might find the stolen gold, and there's not a second to lose.
29:09But, sir, I should really report this.
29:11Well, I could be wrong.
29:12It has happened, and perhaps we should make sure the gold is where we think it is before informing your superiors and having this case snatched from your hands.
29:19Yes, sir.
29:21Where to?
29:23We're the Sea Coffin Factory.
29:24On the double.
29:25What?
29:25This place is more heavily guarded than I'd hoped.
29:43An observation that was on the verge of making myself.
29:46I bet they chased someone into the coffin factory.
29:49I hope by chasing someone you don't mean you.
29:52I'll get the guards to follow me inside.
29:53I can cut off their exit from the roof.
29:56Trust me, Mr. Holmes.
29:57This will work.
29:59Don't follow me until they're all inside.
30:14Ed, it's Robert the murderer, didn't he?
30:17What?
30:17Oh!
30:21Ow!
30:21Easy!
30:33Good day, gentlemen.
30:35We ask that you remain here quietly until suitable arrangements can be made.
30:40What do you think you're playing at?
30:42You're a copper.
30:43No, I'm not, but allow me to introduce.
30:45Detective Swan of Scotland Yard.
30:47And I'm arresting you all in the name of the Queen.
30:50Not to worry, Mr. Holmes.
30:52I've locked the doors from up here.
30:53The only place these blokes are going is prison.
30:56Thank you, Clarence.
30:57You've done more than I could have ever asked.
30:59Game's up, gentlemen.
31:00Now up against the wall.
31:01Come on.
31:02Well, this is all well and good, but do they have my stolen jewels?
31:06No, no.
31:07Bertie, well, now we shall have to satisfy ourselves with all this gold, but the gems will be back
31:12in your hands soon enough.
31:13I know where they are.
31:15Now, Shaw, if you and the rest of the irregulars could please find Inspector Bullivon and tell
31:19him the happy news.
31:20And then we need some reinforcements.
31:22Did we just save England again, Mr. Holmes?
31:25We did indeed.
31:26I've never saved England before.
31:28How does it feel?
31:29Well, not bad, considering.
31:30Much worse for dear Mrs. Hudson than I.
31:33How is she faring?
31:34She's coming along.
31:35Helps being tended by her twin sister.
31:38I have a small gift for you.
31:42Your buttons, I believe.
31:46I'm glad to see that I did not destroy my waistcoat in vain.
31:49At least you knew we were alive.
31:52Come.
31:52I am anxious to hear the whole story.
31:54Crime of the century.
31:56Oh, hardly that.
31:57Nonsense.
31:58You recovered the gold, caught an entire factory filled with thieves, rescued us.
32:03About which I am most happy.
32:06Never think otherwise.
32:09But before Lord Witherssey killed himself, he implied a crime beyond my imagination, and
32:14that has not happened.
32:16There are so many orphaned pieces to this puzzle.
32:18Why steal plans for a weapon in California?
32:21Why demand keys of the American ambassador?
32:23No, the robbery and the kidnappings are not the whole story.
32:27There's something worse.
32:29What awful crime binds these disparate members of the Red Thread together?
32:34Red Thread.
32:35It will make a terrific title.
32:37Damn it, I tire so easily.
32:39The after-effects of too much opium, dear boy.
32:42I'll assume we're off.
32:46Luna, does that?
32:47Oh, ah, yes.
32:48Well, allow me to present Miss Amelia Rojas.
32:54She is my, uh, my, my, my mother at the time.
33:00Enough of these questions.
33:01The doctor is here to measure your progress.
33:04A little peace and quiet will do you good.
33:05Come in here.
33:06He's better.
33:18He'll have your old stalking partner back soon.
33:21Not soon enough.
33:22Clara's ball is two days hence, and by then all our riddles must be answered.
33:26I've solved a lot of them already.
33:28Oh, which ones?
33:29Why you weren't murdered, why we were meant to find the gold, and how the American ambassador
33:37will become a national hero.
33:39Well, your deductive powers have shown sensational progress.
33:42How did you manage all that?
33:44The evening paper.
33:46You're mentioned, too, as the greatest detective in the world.
33:51Amelia, that is not news.
33:53That is not news.
33:55Fortunately, I am immune to flattery, though we should always be grateful whenever
33:59the press elect to be precise.
34:04Oh, for goodness sake.
34:05After hearing of the robbery, the American ambassador hurriedly put together a consortium
34:11of investors.
34:12The purchase of the bank's plummeting shares stopped the panic and brought stability to the
34:18chaotic markets.
34:21In his speech to reporters later, he explained.
34:25When I heard the Bank of England's governor had engaged the brilliant Sherlock Holmes, I
34:31knew the gold would be found.
34:33My broker, Sir Nigel Parks, helped me to find others who would intervene, and together, we
34:39were able to halt the Bank of England's slide toward bankruptcy by the purchase of a majority
34:44of its shares.
34:45But nothing we did would have mattered without the greatest detective on earth exercising
34:51his miraculous abilities.
34:53The real victory belongs to Sherlock Holmes.
34:58Yes, by bringing the press with him into the vault, Whitlock made sure the world would
35:03know about the robbery and launched a financial panic, allowing the Thread to buy the bank for
35:07pennies on the pound.
35:09Just this afternoon, Ambassador Anderson made 10 million off an investment of 50,000 pounds.
35:16Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
35:17In the meantime, the coachmen are carted off to jail without knowing how or why they were
35:22betrayed.
35:23Guess we didn't solve the crime of the century.
35:26We hope make it possible.
35:30Therefore, the greatest crime is yet to come.
35:32This broker, Sir Nigel Parks, is he not Dan Moriarty's employer?
35:40Did Dan also invest in this scheme?
35:42Where would he get the money?
35:43By muscling in on his father's organization, about which he may have known more than he let
35:49on.
35:52Yes.
35:55Let me see.
35:56I had both my profession as a mathematician and my greater enterprise to maintain.
36:00Greater enterprise, by which you mean the exploitation of human weakness through opium dens, gambling
36:06and houses of ill repute, run by men for whom loyalty is a vice best remedied by greed.
36:12And at Lady Violet's party, it was the young Moriarty who lured me outside.
36:18What do you mean Amelia was denied entry?
36:21That's unacceptable.
36:23Excuse me.
36:24I just spoke to her.
36:26Wait, Mr.
36:27And if I hadn't been lured outside, I would never have seen the carriage, nor known how
36:38the gold went missing on its journey from the ship to the bank, were it not for that wretched
36:43boy.
36:46And of course, that's why the other coach was waiting for your sham abductors.
36:50Kidnappers don't need getaway vehicles, they take their crime with them.
36:56All of this makes perfect sense if we change but one conclusion.
37:01What's that?
37:03I'm surprised to find someone of your intellect mistaking current circumstances for future
37:07prospects.
37:08Dan Moriarty did not kill the coachman to save you.
37:12Perhaps time will reveal just how much you underestimated my abilities.
37:16He did it to save me.
37:20Michael Wiley, here to visit with Professor James Moriarty.
37:45Father.
37:49Dear boy.
37:49Dear boy.
37:57Go.
37:57I will call you if I need you.
38:00I apologise for my previous behaviour.
38:03It was necessary to deceive that pompous fool, Holmes.
38:06I'm so relieved, dear boy, that to not be dismissive of my most persistent adversary,
38:11pompous.
38:12Oh, yes.
38:13But Holmes is no fool.
38:14Not only did he rescue his friends, he foiled a perfect robbery of the Bank of England.
38:18I assure you, Father, in no way did Holmes foil anything.
38:22Almost as every move in solving these crimes was designed by me.
38:26What?
38:27But surely you did not...
38:28I robbed the Bank of England.
38:30And it went even better than hoped.
38:32But Holmes recovered the gold and the perpetrators had been arrested.
38:35Only because these actions were vital to my success.
38:39You see, by purchasing stock in the bank when it seemed almost certain to fail, I gained a great fortune when Holmes saved the day.
38:46I wonder where a broker's clerk found enough pounds to invest during an unexpected market panic.
38:53From you, of course.
38:54From me?
38:54More specifically, those elements of the Moriarty Criminal Syndicate I acquired through your less loyal henchman.
39:01Accomplished by approving a more equal split in profits and long denied promotions.
39:07But you never took my businesses.
39:08That was the red thread.
39:09Do you still not understand?
39:11I am the red thread.
39:14Well, the most important part of it.
39:16And tonight we achieve a far greater ambition than stupendous wealth.
39:20There is no greater ambition than wealth.
39:21It is a locus around which our entire empire revolves.
39:24Before the sun rises tomorrow, I will bring that empire to its knees.
39:28And I'll be well on my way to setting its colonies free.
39:31Now and forever.
39:33We have the financial means.
39:35We have the weapon.
39:37Now what we need
39:38is the inciting incident.
39:41You said yourself you could leave whenever you wanted.
39:46The ship awaits you even now.
39:47As does a villa in Ravenna where you can...
39:49Hold a moment.
39:52There is much here to consider.
39:54First, what do you mean bring the empire to its knees?
39:58Surely you intend no harm to her majesty.
40:01Well, kill the queen with so many princes to take her place.
40:04No.
40:05I will settle for nothing less than freeing the crown's colonies from British rule.
40:11In order to achieve that, I require war.
40:16Against England?
40:17Against all nations that would subjugate free people.
40:20I'm pressed for time.
40:21We can explain this...
40:22Dan, Dan, Dan.
40:24You're planning to sacrifice yourself for some...
40:28...transient political cause?
40:30It's hardly transient.
40:33But do not worry, I am no martyr.
40:35Oh, but you are.
40:36To steal from me and boast of it to my face, and then in recompense for your impudence, offer me a life as a fugitive.
40:44Or were you planning to use my escape as a distraction to mislead the authorities into thinking that I was the author of your inciting incident?
40:52Very good, father.
40:56Very good.
40:58Yes.
40:59Yes, that had been what I'd hoped.
41:01To achieve the evening's work and have all eyes trained on the disappearance of Professor Moriarty, the world's most famous criminal maniac.
41:12And as the search became more frantic, would I ever arrive at this villa, or would my body be a better answer for your treason?
41:28Danquorth?
41:29Here's your professorship, sir.
41:30Show this young, unnatural man out, and see that he never returns.
41:37Admit it, father.
41:39You're a little proud of me, aren't you?
41:41Moriarty's do not overthrow empires.
41:43We corrupt them to our advantage.
41:44And I can feel little pride in a criminal who, when given the chance, fails to kill Sherlock Holmes.
41:51You mean like you?
41:52I don't know.
42:22I don't know.
