00:00When this despicable band of thieves and murderers commit crimes at which they forbid my interference,
00:05they leave behind a signal.
00:06Or else Watson or Mrs. Hudson could well die.
00:09But you could go where I cannot.
00:12Carl Bynesworth's jewel box, iron.
00:15Them gems is worth a palace.
00:17Why kidnap Clara if you've already stolen her ransom?
00:19Please do not tell my parents.
00:21Don't tell your parents how you planned your own kidnapping and stole your mother's jewels.
00:25I am dealing with a vast criminal syndicate of unbridled reach,
00:29and even inside the police.
01:00They're bringing a right out, sir.
01:02Thank you, constable.
01:04Congratulations on your rapid apprehension of this coachman who kidnapped the American ambassador's daughter.
01:10With the jewels on his person, did the criminal confess?
01:12No, sir, but he'll eventually tell us all.
01:15Sent him off to Newgate.
01:17Ah, hope we kept the girl close.
01:19Oh, no.
01:21No, no, no, no, no.
01:22Oh, no.
01:23I'm not going anywhere with that man.
01:24Take me back to my cell.
01:26Here, here.
01:26Young lady, be grateful you have a benevolent employer
01:29that's willing to be personally liable for your behavior.
01:33You sure she's worth the trouble, sir?
01:35Well, the girl has her faults, but domestics are very difficult to train,
01:39and I hate the thought of having to start all over again with someone new.
01:44I'm sure the girl will calm down once she returns to the kitchen.
01:48Usually work, sir.
01:51I'm going back to Baker Street.
01:52I'm getting my things, and I'm leaving.
01:54Very well.
01:55On your current heading, it'll take approximately 131 days to reach your destination,
02:01depending on the schedules of various trains and steamers
02:04and the probability of good weather in the South Java Sea.
02:09Are you saying that I'm going in the wrong direction?
02:11Not wrong.
02:11Merely eccentric.
02:13If you're open to a journey briefer than circumnavigating the globe,
02:16you could step into this cab with which I came to rescue you.
02:19Rescue me?
02:21I wouldn't need rescuing if you hadn't abandoned me.
02:24I didn't abandon you.
02:25I had to leave to prevent the police from recognizing you.
02:28Come along.
02:33Maybe the coffin factory was meant to burn.
02:35Have you ever thought about that?
02:36And what things do I get for Clara?
02:38I'm threatened, accused, arrested.
02:41As if you and only you can decide when a criminal is caught.
02:48Not with a front door.
02:50Oh, go down, Chabatta.
02:51Go to heavens.
02:55A message for you, sir.
02:56Oh, no, Halligan.
02:58You may pack your possessions, but you may not leave.
03:01You've been released into my custody.
03:02I will not spend another night in this house with your insufferable smugness.
03:16Key?
03:17The key?
03:20Oh, never mind.
03:21Excuse me, Mr. Holmes.
03:23It's an urgent message in need of a reply.
03:26Read it to me, then.
03:27A.A.
03:28Templeton, insurance code, N.Y.
03:30U.S.A.
03:32Request to immediately engage your services locating jewels stolen from U.S.
03:37Ambassador London.
03:38Stop.
03:39Favourable terms, expenses, a £500 bonus.
03:42If jewels recovered or claim rejected.
03:46Grateful for your prompt reply.
03:48Stop.
03:49Albert Templeton, president.
03:51My response to Mr. A. Templeton, regret must decline.
03:56Stop.
03:56Present engagements precludes.
03:58Stop.
03:58Good help hard to find.
04:00Stop.
04:00Emilia.
04:07Emilia, if you do not open this door at once, I will knock it down.
04:12Emilia.
04:14Emilia.
04:14Very well.
04:15Sir, a person of your station and reputation should not drag a young scullery maid and throw
04:21her out into the street.
04:22I beg you, sir, let me do it.
04:25Mrs. Halligan, I have this completely under control.
04:29Consider your honour, sir.
04:30And I would urge you to consider the life of your sister, still the rightful owner of
04:34this house.
04:35Now, to rescue Mrs. Hudson and Dr. Watson, I would instantly trade my honour, my reputation
04:41and my good fortune.
04:43And yours, too, if it came to it.
04:45Now, saving Mrs. Hudson's life requires me to enter this room.
04:48So, if Emilia does not immediately open this door, I will knock it down.
05:00However ill-used you feel, I took you from the street when you had nowhere to go.
05:15So, I employed you, I fed you, and you have repaid me for these kindnesses by refusing to follow
05:22my instructions in a manner that has put my closest friends beyond reach.
05:27Then why free me from the police, then?
05:30If I destroyed a plan that you never shared with me, I'm an ingrate, you say we're not
05:34related, that my mother is a liar?
05:36Well, you insist we are bound by blood.
05:39But first, you can tell me how we are tied together by this.
05:43Why is this red thread so important to you?
05:49Because this is the signal I told you about.
05:52The signature of the criminal syndicate responsible for the kidnapping of my friends.
05:57A red thread, which they leave tied to something at the scene of every crime they would forbid
06:01me to investigate.
06:04There is a red thread like this in Claire's room.
06:06Yes.
06:07And that's why you left?
06:08Yes.
06:09And you have another.
06:10Which means you are either connected to the red thread, or else you've found it somewhere.
06:15Which is it?
06:17It involves my mother's murder.
06:19How?
06:21After all, this is a crime you have insisted I should help you solve.
06:26Well, now I am so disposed.
06:30Speak.
06:32Tell me everything.
06:35As I recall, you were absent during the attack, delivering designs for a
06:40parade flute to Los Angeles.
06:45Was anything missing on your return?
06:49I didn't notice right away.
06:51But they took several map cases filled with Mama's mechanical drawings.
06:56Which is surprising because many of them were very old.
06:59Indeed.
07:01And where was the red thread?
07:02In the most terrible place.
07:12Tied to this.
07:14Ah, the murder weapon.
07:17Wise of you to keep it.
07:21And then?
07:22I held on to her for a while.
07:31I don't know how long.
07:33Of course.
07:35Of course you did.
07:37Once her body warmed to the touch.
07:38It was cold.
07:42Stiff.
07:43So.
07:45Rigor mortis established but not dissipated.
07:48Her death was four to twelve hours before your return.
07:51So there is nothing you could have done to prevent it.
07:54Were you able to identify the number of attackers?
07:56I counted the hooves of four horses.
08:01They disappeared at the river.
08:04And the boot prints had all been wiped away.
08:07So I thought out, premeditated.
08:09And what did you do next?
08:14I buried her.
08:15What is this picture?
08:27It was her favorite photograph.
08:30From the time she worked on the Wild West show.
08:33And this is the letter I read to you where she says you're my father.
08:42Yes.
08:42Wild West show, the most celebrated theatrical event of the 19th century.
08:55There, there.
09:04Here.
09:06Here.
09:12Well, I'm sorry for your loss.
09:15Your mother's murder proves the syndicate behind the red thread is even larger than I feared.
09:21If they are able to reach across the world, why do they require such size and scope?
09:27What crime or crimes are they hoping to commit?
09:32What does your mother's death have to do with it?
09:34It appears her murder and the kidnappings are connected to a much greater enterprise.
09:41Let's talk about our plan for today.
09:44Fortunately, we still have two living links to the red thread, namely Clara Anderson and Charlie the Coachman.
09:50Now I must merely do the impossible and visit Charlie in prison without alerting anyone to my presence.
09:55And you must follow up with your friend, Clara.
09:58My friend?
09:59Clara is a thief and a liar.
10:02She's stole from her own mother.
10:04She's letting a man rot in jail for kidnapping her when she willingly went with him.
10:08But Charlie did kidnap her.
10:11Clara planned a fake abduction unless you believe that she was expecting to spend her honeymoon in a coffin.
10:18I'd say her elopement misfired in a spectacular fashion.
10:21And like us, the red thread are fully aware of her vulnerabilities and one day will probably extort her for their own purposes.
10:28We cannot afford for her misdeeds to become public knowledge and be severed from us.
10:34Well, I'm sure Clara thinks she got away with everything.
10:36Well, you must demonstrate otherwise.
10:38Be blunt.
10:39She'll respond better to cruelty than to kindness and get to her before the authorities can question her.
10:43But Clara has diplomatic immunity.
10:45From the police, not from this insurance investigator who is likely to appear at the house this very day.
10:51I would have done so.
10:52But you refused that job.
10:53Yes.
10:54Well, a mountain inquiry into the kidnapping and the jewel theft will put me in open conflict with the red thread.
11:00And for that, I am not yet prepared.
11:02But this detective hired by the insurance company...
11:04Oh, he could lead us to both the jewels and your friends.
11:08And like me, he can go where you can't.
11:10Very good.
11:11Very good.
11:12Soon you'll start to see these advantages on your own.
11:15And since it seems to be a speciality of yours, then I'm sure you can throw this investigator on the defensive,
11:21which will not only be good for protecting Clara, but will also convince the investigator to question you.
11:26And his interrogation will likely provide a theory of the crime.
11:30But why would the Andersons let me into their house?
11:33My horse, Charles, was one of the horses that took Clara back home in her father's carriage.
11:37So fetching him should provide an excellent pretext for the visit.
11:41And just this morning, Mrs. Anderson sent me a card thanking you for helping to find their daughter.
11:47So she would seem very well disposed.
11:50All right, then.
11:51I'll bring Chance back.
11:52I'll manage Clara.
11:54And I'll challenge the insurance investigator.
11:57If you agree that from now on we're working on the case with the red thread together,
12:03and we won't stop before finding out who murdered my mother and bringing the killer to justice.
12:08Agreed?
12:10Agreed.
12:19Now remember, the last woman who served as my maid was found floating in the River Thames
12:24for no better reason than as a warning to me, so exercise great caution.
12:28Not just for my sake, but for yours.
12:30You must learn to cultivate humility.
12:33Are you sure that's possible?
12:35It's a stark necessity.
12:37We can only investigate the thread while seeming to pursue some other purpose.
12:41You must learn to hunt while looking like prey.
12:43I can take care of myself.
12:45No doubt.
12:46But do not confront anyone or even acknowledge their presence.
12:50Do nothing to provoke suspicion or attract unwanted attention.
12:54I'm visiting the ambassador's house to reclaim your horse.
12:57Precisely.
12:57And I am calling on an imprisoned man of no interest to our enemies in the hope this misdirection
13:03will trick them into believing my journey to Newgate Prison has nothing to do with Charlie, the coachman.
13:09Do you really think he knows where Mrs. Hudson and Dr. Watson have been taken?
13:13Maybe not.
13:14But he certainly knows his accomplices.
13:16Newgate Prison!
13:17Newgate Prison!
13:47Let's go.
14:17Sherlock Holmes, see Prisoner 45262, Professor James Mariato.
14:34Move it.
14:47The Professor don't get many visitors.
15:05He really agrees to meet anyone.
15:07He'll see me, Mr. Dankworth, I promise you.
15:09Lead on.
15:10Mr. Sherlock Holmes, requesting a visit which the Governor allows.
15:23Prisoner 45262.
15:25Face the wall.
15:27Put your hands above your head.
15:28Do you didn't expect to see you again?
15:41Oh, I know her, all right.
15:42She can stay.
15:48Ought to be ashamed of yourself, pretending to be things you ain't.
15:51I'm sorry.
15:52I didn't want to lie.
15:54Mr. Holmes made me do it.
15:56What are you here for today?
15:58To collect Mr. Holmes' horse chance.
16:01And while I'm here, I thought I might see Clara.
16:05Clara ain't come out of her room since she got back.
16:09But, I'll go ask her mother.
16:12I'll watch her with you in the meantime.
16:14Please stay here, sir.
16:18While I assure myself of your safety.
16:22Now, you listen to me, you horrible little man.
16:25You will be in your best behavior for this gentleman that's visiting you.
16:29And he might argue how you and you're for the heart.
16:31You got it, Professor.
16:36Shall I chain him for you, sir?
16:38No.
16:40I shall be right outside if you need me.
16:44Mr. Sherlock Holmes, whom I never thought to see again in the waking world.
17:05What could a poor prisoner like me do for the greatest detective on earth?
17:10Laying it on a bit thick, aren't we, Moriarty?
17:13If you're unused to the deprivations of the condemned,
17:16better if I had not escaped the Reichenbach Falls.
17:20Please, have a seat.
17:26I'll stand.
17:29Care for some lunch?
17:31I find toasting prison bread over an open flame burns off most of mold.
17:37Appetizing as that sounds, I decline.
17:40Though I do note in passing, neither your skin nor your weight reflect the ravages of a prison diet.
17:46Perhaps you ward off those perils with roast beef and claret, as one might infer,
17:51from this gravy stain on your cuff and this red directly beneath your chin.
17:55Not so incidentally, I note that though there is no cell next to yours on the western wall,
18:01the hallway outside your door goes on for another 20 feet in that direction.
18:06This ink on your fingertips from perusing the newspapers, none of which I see in evidence,
18:13not even on this metal hook,
18:16by the toilet where most of your fellow prisoners find their daily news best employed.
18:21Perhaps the maid has been around to clean already.
18:26One ingenious mechanism, may I?
18:33Oh, don't worry, James.
18:34I'm not here to expose corruption in Her Majesty's prisons.
18:39I'm here on a much more important errand, and one that affects us both,
18:43and I should like to discuss it with you without your assistant eavesdropping in the hall.
18:48I'm practically dead from my left ear.
18:50Be quiet, you imbecile.
18:52Yes, sir.
18:52Pardon me if I demand proof this private conversation is necessary.
19:08I had wondered that the recent absence of your name in the press
19:12and the disappearance of Watson's fawning puffery in the Strand,
19:15the rumor that he had finally come to his senses and abandoned you was always highly suspect.
19:21And knowing that you still run your empire from behind bars,
19:26I find the decrease in those crimes most commonly associated with your known accomplices equally remarkable.
19:32Touching how we keep up with each other from afar.
19:37Very well.
19:39Under the circumstances, I shall consent to spend time in your odious company.
19:47May I?
19:48Okay.
19:50Come on.
19:51Come on.
19:52Come on.
19:53Come on.
19:54Come on.
19:55Come on.
19:56Come on.
19:57Come on.
19:58Come on.
19:59Come on.
20:00Come on.
20:01Come on.
20:02Come on.
20:03Incredible.
20:04Thank what?
20:07Yes.
20:08Your professorship, sir?
20:09One more for lunch.
20:10One more for lunch.
20:30I'm so glad you stopped by.
20:32Your efforts to find our daughter were very brave.
20:37Clara will be down in a moment to thank you in person.
20:41But my husband and I are very anxious to express our gratitude.
20:45So we thought, since you will accept no reward,
20:48perhaps you would consider the offer to join our household.
20:52Excuse me?
20:55In the capacity of Clara's personal chaperone,
20:58given recent events, I would feel more secure
21:00if Clara had someone with whom to go to dress shops.
21:06And to the theatre and other social engagements.
21:10Would Clara enjoy this sort of company?
21:14She has no friends in London.
21:16And you've proven to be loyal and discreet.
21:19And it would mean quite a step up in your social standing, Amelia.
21:23Just think of all the great events to which you would be...adjacent.
21:31Oh!
21:32Look, there she is now.
21:34Clara, darling, look who's come for a visit.
21:37How very kind you are, Amelia.
21:39And with everything else you have to do.
21:41But I'm afraid I'm not yet quite myself.
21:44Perhaps if you're able to return next week?
21:47Don't be silly, Clara said.
21:50I'll see about more tea while you think, Amelia.
21:54I shouldn't be gone longer than it takes the kettle to boil.
21:57Please don't say you've come to tell my parents everything.
22:05Why shouldn't I?
22:07You stole your own mother's jewels.
22:09You aren't kidnapped but willingly left with Charlie,
22:12who is now in prison and liable to hang.
22:14No!
22:15Charlie cannot hang unless I testify against him.
22:18And my father has invoked diplomatic immunity to keep me out of court.
22:22Diplomatic immunity won't protect you from the insurance company.
22:25The what?
22:27Your father has filed a claim against the missing jewels.
22:30A private investigator is on the way, is perhaps already here,
22:33to find out how they were stolen.
22:36But what am I to do?
22:39Go ahead and lie.
22:41Why not add a fraud of 50,000 pounds to your list of crimes?
22:46Dear God, what have I done?
22:49My father will be sent home in disgrace,
22:52and no one will ever marry me.
22:55Jenna, stop crying.
22:57Your mother will be back any moment,
22:59and you can't look hysterical.
23:00Of course you'll be able to marry.
23:02No.
23:03You don't understand.
23:04You are a person of no importance,
23:07and can wed whom you choose.
23:09I am not so fortunate.
23:13And if my secret should be discovered?
23:15What a desperate predicament.
23:20As you are obviously aware,
23:23many of the small businesses in which I have maintained an interest...
23:26Gambling, fraud, opium.
23:28Have been absorbed by the red thread,
23:30and some of my trusted lieutenants along with them.
23:33And you are unable to move against this presumptuous criminal syndicate,
23:37whilst Watson and the landlady remain in their power.
23:40I wonder.
23:41You wonder what?
23:43Attempting to control your behavior through hostages is dangerous and clumsy.
23:47If the thread are truly worried about your conduct...
23:51Then why not just kill me?
23:53I see confinement has not dimmed your intellect,
23:56which is, as ever, entirely wasted.
23:59Leaving you alive is a grave error.
24:02They will regret it as much as I.
24:05But you agree with my premise that to destroy the red thread would be to the advantage of us both?
24:11Oh, yes.
24:12I very much concur.
24:14Now, if I'm not mistaken, you're about to make a request, are you not?
24:19I am.
24:20Yes.
24:21Ostensibly, I have come to Newgate Prison to visit you.
24:25In reality, however, I should like to interview an agent of the red thread...
24:29...incarcerated here for kidnapping the American ambassador's daughter.
24:33Howard must call you to beg for my assistance.
24:36Not at all.
24:37As you pointed out, our interests momentarily align...
24:41...and it is well known that you are, in effect, if not in name, the Prince Regent of this prison.
24:47Oh, come, come. You exaggerate.
24:50More tea, Professor?
24:52Uh...
24:53Perhaps half a cup.
24:55Supposing I agree, how would you get to and from this idiot cell?
24:58Mr. Dankworth would escort me there and bring me back.
25:01And to avoid being recognized in transit?
25:04I would temporarily change clothes...
25:07...with you.
25:08Well, well.
25:10I've always wondered what it's like inside that stuffed shirt of yours.
25:15Ah.
25:16But what about your horrifying face, which many a prisoner here has good reason to remember?
25:21Well, the coachman is newly arrived from America and will not recognize me...
25:26...and as Mr. Dankworth leads me around...
25:29...and shall wear this hood over my head, as do the most dangerous prisoners.
25:34For I am dangerous, Mariatti, very dangerous, lest you forget.
25:38No.
25:39I have cause to recollect at every moment of my life.
25:44Are you not worried this coachman will consider you a spy, planted by the police?
25:50No.
25:51I have more information on him than the police, and some of it gathered from a source they cannot question.
25:56The who?
25:58And whom would that be?
26:00Clara?
26:02Clara!
26:03Oh, dear lord.
26:05There you are.
26:06I'm sorry to interrupt, but we have a visitor who needs to talk to us.
26:11Clara's still recovering.
26:12Could this visitor not come back another time?
26:14I'm afraid not.
26:15Our daughter has been returned, but the jewels haven't.
26:18And our insurance claim against them must be pursued with urgency.
26:22I am sorry, young lady, to end your visit prematurely.
26:26But won't the investigator want to speak to me too?
26:29If he's going to be questioning Clara, I was there for some of it.
26:33Amelia's quite right.
26:35She helped rescue our daughter.
26:37Oh, very well.
26:39Wait here.
26:41She's back, her daughter.
26:42And she's back.
26:46Better watch your steps, sir.
26:47Here we are.
27:05Well, sir, I won't remain in there a moment longer than necessary.
27:20Ah, Charlie, you have a gentleman visit, huh?
27:25No funny business now.
27:27Yeah, fine.
27:31Charlie Hallroyd at your service.
27:34I'm not talking to anyone.
27:35Oh, you better have a lot to say.
27:37I've come to demand explanations for your betrayal.
27:40Demand.
27:44Blacken your eye, then see what you demand, old-timer.
27:50I owe you nothing.
27:51Are you sure about that?
27:57Perhaps you should reconsider.
28:04Even in here?
28:05And everywhere else you might hope to go.
28:07You can escape from the law, but never from us.
28:11If you value your life, you will tell me at once why you've deviated so far from our plan.
28:17If you know the plan, why don't you tell me what it was?
28:20If you wish me to detail your mistakes, you were to get the stupid girl to fall in love with you, an easy enough task for a man of your appearance and disposition.
28:30Indeed, you were chosen for this assignment as much for your looks and your skill with horses.
28:37Once you had romanced Miss Anderson in America, you were to convince her you wished to elope and steal her mother's jewels for a proper income.
28:45In reality, however, she was to be held hostage in exchange for her father's cooperation in a scheme I may not reveal.
28:54Well, I know anyway.
28:57Weems and Maggot mentioned keys they wanted the ambassador to hand over, but what they're meant to unlock I have no idea.
29:02Then there is the matter of the jewels.
29:04Weems and Maggot told me to give the jewels to them.
29:06And did Weems and Maggot also order you to try and sell the jewels to one Mr. Clarence Halfpenny?
29:12Did they order you to take the girl with you back to America?
29:15Did they order you to burn the hostages and themselves alive in the coffin factory whilst you escaped?
29:21Burned alive?
29:23No, no, Weems and Maggot, they took the gems and the other hostages and rode away with them.
29:27Well, neither Weems nor Maggot nor the jewels nor the doctor and the housekeeper ever arrived at the rendezvous point.
29:33They're not in Richmond?
29:34And are missing still when you tried to sail back to America with Clara where you thought to set up a pretty household with the stolen jewels.
29:41No, I don't have the jewels. Weems and Maggot have them, okay?
29:46Wait, no, no.
29:48We left the coffin factory because there was a call on the telephone from the police.
29:53We were tipped off by your man on the inside. I swear, ask him.
29:56And were you a part of that telephone call? Or did you only hear one side of the conversation?
30:01Did you consider it was staged for your benefit, just so you would give out the jewels?
30:07Danquist!
30:08Danquist!
30:13Wait.
30:15Wait, no, no, I...
30:17I did try to run away with Clara, sure, but...
30:20I fell in love with her.
30:21But I never, I never burned anyone!
30:24You have to believe me, I've told you everything!
30:27You have to believe me!
30:28Come this way, please.
30:35Mr. Bird Whistle. My wife, daughter and her friend, Amelia.
30:41Bird Whistle, sir. A T, not a D.
30:46And no H, which would be silent in any case.
30:50My apologies, sir. My American ears sometimes fail me.
30:53Have you completed your inquiries?
30:55Only those which were least important.
30:57The police have already determined the jewels were missing,
31:00and that the arrested kidnapper did not have them.
31:03But I'm curious.
31:04I'm very curious as to why your wife's valuables were not in a secure English bank
31:10instead of a box that could have been broken into by a child.
31:14As to why we had the jewels, they were stolen the very night we arrived from America.
31:18Then there's the little matter of the delay in reporting the theft after Clara went missing.
31:25Our daughter was abducted before we'd even unpacked.
31:28And at first we gave no thought to the gems.
31:31I instigated a search for them myself, hoping they were still present,
31:35and could be found before further disturbing my wife.
31:37Well, I'm sure your discomfort was sevenfold when you learned the coachman had found his way into your wife's bedroom at night.
31:42Or was that not so unusual?
31:44I beg your pardon, sir.
31:46What the devil do you mean?
31:47Forgive me, please.
31:48There was no attempt to offend.
31:51I'm unfamiliar with how wealthy Americans conduct relations with their servants.
31:57It could hardly be called a relationship.
32:00Charlie worked for us in America and came here some weeks before us,
32:04and he was in and out of the house and stables during that entire time.
32:09What trust do you put in him?
32:12I'm sorry to have to say, but in retrospect, it appears careless.
32:17But wait.
32:19If the coachman was here some weeks before,
32:23how could he have known the jewels were in your bedroom?
32:26How the coachman knew anything is something to ask him.
32:29Do you want the Andersons to guess what he was thinking?
32:31But aren't you more interested in the facts?
32:34Well, my interest in the facts is all-consuming, and I will know them before I'm done.
32:38Now, young Miss Anderson,
32:40I must hear all your recollections you've so far withheld from the police.
32:44Because the kidnapping and theft were so brilliantly conceived and daringly executed.
32:50I hope you might shed some light on how those crimes were carried out.
32:57Did you fool him good and proper?
32:58Is the red thread unraveled?
33:01Afraid a little?
33:03We'll see.
33:05Oh, you can tell me. A problem shared is a problem halved, as they say.
33:08Lest we each work our own side of the street. On that point, you will have to trust me.
33:13Oddly, I don't think of us as trusting people.
33:15For example, did you really believe I would allow you to walk into my cell,
33:19ask for help, and then give me nothing in return?
33:21I've already said I would pursue our mutual interests, and to that end, please return my clothes. I must leave at once.
33:28Ah. Sherlock.
33:30Sherlock.
33:32I am at my leisure.
33:34I could, without difficulty, hold you here until nightfall, possibly beyond, unless you wish to leave this place dressed as a prisoner, with everyone knowing the true purpose of your visit.
33:44If you did that, I would stop at nothing to destroy you.
33:48Ah, but by that it would be too late for Watson and Mrs. Hudson.
33:52No.
33:54You should not be leaving here before agreeing to my terms.
33:58This will not do.
34:00This will not do at all.
34:01No sleeping draught could have wiped out the memory of your whole ordeal.
34:06I forbid you from using that insinuating tone with my daughter.
34:10Do not mistake me for one of your pet Pinkertons,
34:13nor some London bobby cowering before diplomatic immunity.
34:17I will have the truth, or you will be paid nothing for your claim.
34:20Father, please let me answer him.
34:22As I told you, sir, I went to sleep in my room, and I woke inside the coffin with no memory of how I got there.
34:33I was kept inside the coffin except for those activities the body has no choice but to perform,
34:40and on these occasions I was blindfolded.
34:43And every second of my confinement, I was in terror for my life and my honour.
34:49Well, where was the coachman during this?
34:52How could I possibly know?
34:53And when did he take you from the coffin factory?
34:56How was it you were on the brink of boarding a ship holding his hand?
35:00Holding his hand?
35:01Amelia, please don't.
35:02I was there.
35:04I saw her get pulled from a dark box into the blinding light of day.
35:08How could you expect her to resist a dangerous criminal who was dragging her to the gates of the London dock?
35:15Would you like to examine her knees? Is that what you came here to do?
35:17Of course not.
35:19I see a ring on your finger. Tell me, Mr. Burt Whistle, did you court your wife by drugging her?
35:25Did you yank her to the altar in a coffin? Is that how you do things in the Burt Whistle household?
35:30That's quite enough, young lady. That's quite enough.
35:32Now, I apologise for the indelicate nature of my questions, but do understand.
35:37When there's tens of thousands of pounds at stake, I must be thorough.
35:42And thoroughness demands cruelty?
35:44Not at all.
35:46Amelia, is it?
35:48When you were present at the rescue?
35:51Perhaps I could speak to you in private.
35:54Well, of course you can. That's why we insisted on her being present.
35:57Allow me to show you out.
36:02Good day.
36:03You are a most unexpected sort of person. American, a maid, rescuer, stable lad, and attorney.
36:22Well, you provided sound representation for Clara Anderson.
36:28I only said what you already know, which is the jewels have been stolen and can't be found.
36:34And there's so many places to look, such as the coffin factory, where at one point there were at least three hostages being held, and yet here you are covered in old ground.
36:43Don't be impertinent. Besides which, I know the factory to be owned by Lord Withersy.
36:48And I assure you, Withersy is in possession of a considerable fortune which he has no need to increase through kidnapping or thievery.
36:56And he will eventually comply with my request for a list of his partners and employees.
37:02Eventually? Why don't you have that list already?
37:06Is it because you can't bully Lord Withersy the way you just bullied a young helpless girl?
37:10I'm a bully when he drives me. I do have other odds. I could teach you my methods, provided you don't already know everything.
37:18You showed promise as an investigator and would likely take others off guard as you have me.
37:25Ah, think about it. For now, this is where we part ways.
37:28If you helped me find the jewels, it could be worth a bonus of, ooh, shall we show you £100?
37:34A fifth of what you were offered. How generous. Good day, Mr. Birtwhistle.
37:41She calls me a bully.
37:46Losing a child is difficult, especially when you've no one but yourself to blame.
37:51After my wife died, I was so concentrated on my work that I neglected my young son at an enormous cost.
37:58I remember this story. His name was, uh, Daniel.
38:02Or Dan, as we called him.
38:05But just before his tenth birthday, when I was away on the continent, Dan was arrested on some trifling matter.
38:14Connected to the theft of a clergyman's gold timepiece, as I recall.
38:18Gold-plated.
38:23I like to think he meant it as a gift for me.
38:26In any case, during my absence, he was shipped off to Australia under the Home Children Act.
38:32But surely your corruptive influence was great even then?
38:35His pardon was quick, yes. But in the time it took to reach him, he had... disappeared.
38:40Off to Melbourne, some said. None of my employees could find him.
38:45That was many years ago.
38:49Lately, however, there have been reports of a young Australian lad, newly arrived in London, who looks very much like a grown-up version of my Dan.
38:56Your story is almost endlessly Dickensian. Will I find my clothes, do you think, somewhere, at the end of this plot?
39:03Well, I will return your suit, give my support in attacking the thread.
39:07Maintain my silence about your kidnapped friends, if you agree to find my son and bring him here for a visit.
39:17Well, cannot your own organization track him down? Has your small army of familiars utterly failed you?
39:21I cannot let my colleagues know that my own son dare ignore me.
39:26I doubt if you can understand what it's like to have a child.
39:30I'm not without imagination.
39:33I am very concerned that, in their attempt to absorb my empire, the thread...
39:38Do no harm to my Dan.
39:41Very well. Very well, but I can accept no fee for this undertaking.
39:46I did not intend to offer you one.
39:47Well, it is usual when hiring a consulting detective.
39:49You're not being hired, you're being extorted.
39:52No, I'm doing you a favor and one much less onerous than I had anticipated.
39:56What is it, Dankworth?
39:58I saw your professorship.
40:00It's a bit of news that concerns us all.
40:02I'm sorry, Holmes. Your presence here has become inconvenient. I regret you must rush away.
40:14Well, we are well past the point. I might have rushed anywhere.
40:17Indeed, you have detained me almost past the point of human endurance.
40:20That is what this place was designed to do. Dankworth, please be certain Mr. Holmes has taken out in such a way that the contents of this note become clear to him.
40:27This way, sir.
40:33It's a problem, Mr. Dankworth. That's not the way I came in.
40:36No. That's the way you must leave.
40:38Right. Come on, sir. Get this other one. That's it.
40:47Right, easy, Dan.
40:49He's dead, Governor. Killed himself and saved us the trouble.
40:52Oh, there's no money for it.
41:16Oh, there's no money for it.
41:19I know that's the union.
41:23I mean, I feel that ostention.
41:25I don't want stuff in it.
41:30Right?
41:41Let me up or I'll blow your head off.
42:06Mighty's choice.
