00:30You're afraid to not be able to kick your head.
00:51Give it back.
00:53Give it back.
00:54You're going to give me the money up there.
00:59You're going to give me the money up there.
01:05Get out of here.
01:09Come on, man.
01:14Come on, man.
01:16Come on, man.
01:21Come on.
01:25Come on.
01:35Come on, ladies.
01:41Get out of here.
01:49Come on, ladies.
01:51Get out of here.
01:53Get out of here.
01:57Let your thanks go for it.
01:59Come on!
02:01Come on, ladies.
02:03Come on, ladies and gentlemen.
02:05Come on, ladies and gentlemen.
02:09Come on, ladies and gentlemen.
06:50There.
07:54Tell us all about yourself.
07:56Oh, well, gentlemen,
07:59I have a small pawnbroking business in Saks Coburg Street, near the city.
08:04It's not a very large affair. It just gives me a living.
08:08I used to keep two assistants, but now I just keep the one.
08:13And to tell you the truth, I'd have a job to make it pay,
08:17but that he's willing to come at half wages so as to learn the business.
08:23About two months ago...
08:25What is the name of this obliging youth?
08:27Vincent... Vincent Spalding.
08:30Oh, he's not such a youth either, Mr. Holmes.
08:33It's difficult to say his age, but I couldn't wish for a smarter assistant.
08:37You seem most remarkably fortunate.
08:40In having an employee who comes under the market price,
08:43I don't know that your assistant is not as remarkable as your advertisement.
08:47Oh, but he does have his faults.
08:49And I never was there such a fellow for photography,
08:52always snapping away with his camera when he should be improving his mind,
08:56and then diving down into the cellar to develop the wretched thing.
08:59Still, on the whole, he's a good worker and no vice in him.
09:03It was he who first showed me the advertisement.
09:06I wish to the Lord I was a red-headed man, Mr. Wilson.
09:22Who was that?
09:24Well, there's another vacancy in the League of Reddited Men.
09:27I've never heard of it.
09:31Well, I'd wonder at that.
09:33You being so eligible yourself.
09:36And nice money too.
09:39A couple of hundred a year.
09:41And the work's slight.
09:43Oh, there'd be thousands of reddited men apply.
09:50Oh, well, I doubt that, sir.
09:52What, not with such a fine, fiery colour as you are blessed with, Mr. Wilson?
09:58But then I suppose it's hardly worth your while to put yourself out the way
10:02for the sake of a few hundred pound.
10:05Yes, sir.
10:07Well, I'm very much of a stay-at-home sort of person.
10:14Sometimes weeks on end without putting my foot over the doormat.
10:18But this, it looked interesting.
10:22I was intrigued.
10:24And young Vincent said he'd come with me.
10:27So on Monday morning we shut up the shop and off we went.
10:32Now, Vincent, let's go back.
10:33I can't abide the crowd.
10:34Courage, Mr. Wilson.
10:35We're so near.
10:36There's so much at stake.
10:37Now, you pull your colour up.
10:38Hello, Jimmy.
10:39Come along with me.
10:40What's your job all about, then?
10:41Oh, boy, it's the time, isn't it, mate?
10:42I wasn't in there for two hours.
10:43Oh, dear.
10:44Oh, dear.
10:45Oh, dear.
10:46Oh, dear.
10:47Oh, dear.
10:48Oh, dear.
10:49Oh, dear.
10:50Oh, dear.
10:51Oh, dear.
10:52Oh, dear.
10:53Oh, dear.
10:55Oh, dear.
10:56Oh, dear.
10:57Oh, dear.
10:58Oh, dear.
10:59Oh, dear.
11:00Oh, dear.
11:01Oh, dear.
11:02Oi!
11:03Oi!
11:04Oi!
11:05A little less noise, please, gentlemen.
11:07Hey, Governor.
11:08Play the light, man.
11:09Here.
11:10Here.
11:11What's your gun?
11:12Come on, man.
11:13Hey!
11:14Get out of it!
11:15Hey!
11:16Get out!
11:17Hey, just to kill him!
11:18Excuse us!
11:19Get in!
11:20Like you!
11:21Excuse me!
11:22Excuse me!
11:23Excuse me!
11:25Excuse me!
11:26All right.
11:27Off you go.
11:28No neck.
11:29Get in!
11:30No neck.
11:31Get in!
11:32Oi!
11:33Where are you going?
11:34Straight this way out.
11:35Come on.
11:36This is Mr. Wilson!
11:37Right.
11:38In you go, Mr. Wilson.
11:39Good night, sir!
11:40Get back!
11:41Get back!
11:42Get back!
11:43Get back!
11:44Get back!
11:45Get back!
11:46Get back!
11:47Get back!
11:48Get back!
11:49Get back!
11:50Get back!
11:51Get back!
11:52Get back!
11:53Get back!
11:54Get back!
11:55Get back!
11:56Get back!
11:57Every requirement.
11:58Very fine.
12:01Congratulations, Mr. Wilson.
12:06It would be injustice to hesitate.
12:10You will, I'm sure, excuse me if I take an obvious precaution.
12:14Ah!
12:15Tears in your eyes.
12:19I perceive all this as it should be.
12:22We have to be careful.
12:24Twice deceived by wigs, once by paint.
12:28I could tell you tales of cobbler's wax that would disgust you with human nature.
12:34My name is Duncan Ross.
12:39I am myself a pensioner upon the fund left by a noble benefactor.
12:43Ah!
12:44I see you're about to question me about Mr. Essek Geyer Hopkins.
12:51He was himself redheaded.
12:54In his youth he left London for America, where he made many millions of dollars.
12:59On his death, it was found, he had instructed the trustees in his will to...
13:06...make life a little easier for the redheaded men in the time of his birth.
13:13Wonderful colouring.
13:15Now, what's your full name, Mr. Wilson?
13:18Jabez Wilson.
13:20Jabez Wilson.
13:22And, er, are you a married man, Mr. Wilson?
13:25Do you have a family?
13:27No, I'm a widower.
13:28No, I never had any family.
13:32Oh, dear.
13:34I'm sad to hear you say that.
13:37The fund, of course, is for the propagation and spread of redheaded men, as well as for their maintenance.
13:43In another case, the objection might be fatal.
13:50However, I think we've got to stretch a point in favour of a man with such a head of hair as yours.
14:05The vacancy's been filled.
14:07The vacancy is filled.
14:08All right, off you go.
14:09Sorry about that.
14:10All right, off you go.
14:11The vacancy is filled.
14:16All right, off you go.
14:18All right, sorry about that.
14:20All right, off you go.
14:22Now, when would you be free to start upon your new duties?
14:46Oh, well, it is rather awkward as I do have a business already.
14:49What would be the hours?
14:51Ten till two.
14:53Well, the mornings are quiet and I do have an assistant.
14:56Yes, that would suit me very well.
14:58And the money mentioned, four pounds a week.
15:01Correct.
15:02And the work?
15:03Purely nominal.
15:04Yes, well, what do you call purely nominal?
15:08Well, you have to stay in the office or at least in the building the whole time.
15:12If you leave, you forfeit your whole position forever.
15:15The will is quite clear in that point.
15:17Oh, I shouldn't dream of leaving.
15:19No excuse will avail neither sickness, business nor anything else.
15:22Here you will remain.
15:24Or else lose your ability.
15:26Oh, now, I am quite clear on that point.
15:28But what exactly is the work?
15:31It is to copy out the Encyclopedia Britannica.
15:38There is the first volume.
15:40You will supply the ink, paper and pen.
15:42We will supply this desk and chair.
15:44Now, would you be free to start next Monday morning?
15:49Oh, yes, certainly.
15:51Then, once again, my congratulations, Mr. Jebbies Wilson, on the most important position you've been fortunate enough to get.
16:08Wonderful head of hair.
16:10Goodbye, Mr. Wilson.
16:11Well done, Mr. Wilson.
16:12Well done, Mr. Wilson.
16:13Well done, indeed.
16:14This is the quickest way out, sir.
16:15Oh, no.
16:16This way.
16:17Congratulations.
16:18When I got home, the whole thing seemed, on reflection, to be quite ridiculous.
16:35Quite.
16:36Who would make such an extraordinary will?
16:38Very well.
16:39Not a very generous millionaire to make you buy your own pen, ink and paper.
16:44Well, exactly, Mr. Holmes.
16:46I soon persuaded myself that it was some great hoax or fraud.
16:51Then, when Monday morning came along, it did seem stupid to turn down a good job.
16:57So, um, off I went and bought a penny bottle of ink and a pen and seven sheets of foolscap paper and, uh, I set off for Pope's court.
17:09Good morning, Mr. Wilson, and welcome.
17:28Good morning, Mr. Wilson.
17:30Well, to my surprise and delight, everything was as right as possible.
17:36The table was set out ready for me, and Mr. Duncan Ross was there to see I got fairly to work.
17:44My employment had truly begun.
17:47The schedule never varied.
17:49My work started at ten o'clock and, uh, ended at two o'clock, with a small break for my lunch at half past twelve.
17:57Every Saturday at two o'clock, Mr. Ross would come in and give me my money,
18:03compliment me upon the amount that I'd written,
18:06and then we'd both leave.
18:08Mr. Ross, locking the door after me.
18:10Artichokes, I find, were simply fascinating, you know.
18:13Yes.
18:14They have a kind of, uh, bloom on them.
18:16But, uh, Annable, I've also thought was A, but it was H after all.
18:20Yes.
18:21I thought that was very interesting.
18:22Morning.
18:23Oh, the work was very interesting.
18:35Abacus.
18:37Abbey.
18:39Architecture.
18:42Acts of the Apostles.
18:45Adulteration.
18:48Anatomy.
18:50Apes.
18:53Aqueducts.
18:56After eight weeks, I'd fairly dealt with the letter A,
18:59and was hoping with diligence to get on to B,
19:01when suddenly this morning the whole business came to an end.
19:04I went to my work as usual, but the door was shut and locked,
19:07with a little square of cardboard hammered onto the middle panel.
19:11Oh, excuse me.
19:16Have you seen Mr. Duncan Ross this morning?
19:21Ross?
19:22Ross.
19:23Never heard of a gentleman of that name, sir.
19:26Well, my memory's good.
19:27It's very good.
19:28It's infallible for names.
19:29Ah, the gentleman at number seven.
19:30Ah, the gentleman who is redheaded.
19:33Yes.
19:34Ah, yes, yes, yes.
19:35Gone.
19:36Gone?
19:37Mr. William Morris.
19:38I solicited using my room as a temporary convenience
19:40until his new premises were ready.
19:42Moved out yesterday.
19:43Paid him full.
19:44Doesn't owe a penny.
19:45William Morris?
19:46Where can I find him?
19:47Well, at his new offices.
19:50William Morris and what?
19:54Seventeen, King Edward Street.
19:58Near St. Paul's.
19:59Oh, thank you.
20:07Please don't take control of the somebody's name.
20:30Yeah.
20:32Oh, yes.
20:34Aw.
20:36I don't see there's anything very funny about it.
20:55Who?
20:56If all you can do is laugh at me, well, I can go elsewhere.
20:59No, Mr. Wilson, please, please, sit down.
21:01I wouldn't miss this case.
21:04For the world.
21:06It is most refreshingly unusual.
21:12I was so incensed at the fraudulent deceit that I came straight to you, sir.
21:18Having heard of your great reputation for helping poor people in distress.
21:22Oh, Mr. Wilson, forgive me.
21:26You know, Mr. Wilson, I really don't think that you've got any great grievance
21:31against this extraordinary league.
21:33On the contrary, you've been very well paid
21:35to say nothing of the detailed knowledge which you've acquired
21:39on every subject under the letter A.
21:42Yes, but what's the object of them playing this prank on me?
21:46That's what I want to know.
21:47This assistant of yours, how long has he been with you?
21:56Well, about three months.
21:57How did he come?
21:58Well, the answer to an advertisement.
21:59Was he the only applicant?
22:01No, I had 12 others.
22:04Why did you pick him?
22:06Well, he was handy and would come cheap.
22:09At half wages, in fact.
22:13Yes.
22:21What's he like?
22:24This Vincent Spaulding.
22:25Hmm?
22:25Oh, well, he's tall.
22:30Slightly built.
22:32He's very quick in his ways.
22:35He's got no hair on his face.
22:39He's got a white splash of acid on his forehead.
22:42Uh, have you ever observed whether his ears
22:49have been pierced for earrings?
22:53Yes!
22:54Yeah, he told me a gypsy had done it for him when he was a lad.
22:57He is still with you?
22:58Yes.
22:59Yeah, I would have just left him.
23:01Mr Wilson.
23:03He will be at your shop if I should need you.
23:06Well, I had thought of shutting up shop at dinnertime today
23:09because Vincent had suggested I spend the rest of the weekend
23:11with my sister embarking.
23:13This whole business has upset my nerves very much.
23:18Well, you enjoy a restful weekend embarking.
23:21Today's Saturday.
23:23By Monday, we should have a conclusion for you.
23:26In the matter of your fee.
23:28Don't worry about that.
23:30I believe it will be paid for by another.
23:37Good day to you, Mr Wilson.
23:39What do you make of it all, Watson?
23:48I make nothing of it.
23:50It's a most mysterious business.
23:53Yet there are graver issues
23:54hanging from this affair than at first sight appear.
24:05What are you going to do?
24:07To smoke.
24:09It is quite a three-pipe problem.
24:13And I beg that you won't speak to me for 50 minutes.
24:16The business of the Red-Headed League is concluded, sir.
24:30The business of the Red-Headed League is concluded, sir.
24:45Satisfactorily, I trust?
24:47Most satisfactorily, Professor.
24:50I'm pleased to report.
24:51Good.
24:52Good.
24:53Good.
24:53Good.
24:53Good.

25:02Good.
25:03Good.
25:03Good.

25:14Good.
25:15Good.
25:16Good.
25:17Good.
25:18Good.
25:19Come, Watson.
25:31Uh-huh.
25:47Excuse me.
25:48Can you turn me the way to the strand, do you hear?
25:52Uh, third right, fourth lefts.
26:00Holmes?
26:01Holmes, I could have told you that.
26:03No doubt, Watson.
26:06What is it?
26:09And why did you beat the pavement with your stick?
26:12Watson, we are spies in an enemy's territory.
26:16Yeah.
26:17Oh, God.
26:19Oh, God.
26:22Oh, God.
26:24Oh, God.
26:26Oh.
26:27Oh.
26:29Oh.
26:31it was a hobby of mine to have an exact knowledge of London now there is Mortimer's the tobacconist
26:51the little newspaper shop Coburg branch the city and suburban bank McFarlane's carriage building
26:57depot and the vegetarian restaurant around the corner Watson commit to memory it is just possible
27:04that we're being observed a considerable crimes in contemplation today being Saturday is somewhat
27:27complicates matters but now doctor our work is done it is time we had some play Sarasati is playing at the
27:37St James's Hall this afternoon a sandwich and a cup of coffee and then off to violin land where all
27:43is sweetness delicacy and happy and no redheaded clients to vex us with their conundrums
27:50all the afternoon he sat in the stalls wrapped in the most perfect happiness
28:20while his gently smiling face and his languid dreamy eyes were as unlike those of Holmes the
28:28sleuth hound as it was possible to conceive when I saw him so enwrapped in the music I felt that an
28:42evil time might be coming upon those whom he had set himself to hunt down
28:49themusical song and her coming back and forth with his topography in the music I had set himself to
28:53try and make his in charge at the mountain and in force I had to clear that the
28:57tone of the viewed and the sound and the fact that he had to bear with me so enwrapped in the
28:58position of the
29:36Oh, excellent. Excellent, Watson. You have a future as a cartographer.
29:42Oh, that'll be Thelney Jones. I thought it was as well to have someone from Scotland Yard with us.
29:47He's an absolute imbecile at his profession, but he does have the tenacity of a lobster when he gets his claws into someone.
29:55Good evening, Jones.
29:56So, we're working in couples again, Mr. Holmes.
29:59Our friend is a wonderful man for starting the chase.
30:01All he needs is an old dog to help him do the running down.
30:04Mr. Merriweather, my friend and colleague, Dr. Watson.
30:07How do you do, sir?
30:08Only hope a wild goose may not prove to be the end of our chase.
30:12I'm not personally in favour of amateur criminal investigators.
30:15You may place considerable confidence in Mr. Holmes.
30:18Oh, if you say so, Mr. Jones.
30:20Well, he has his own little methods, which, if he won't mind me saying so, are a little theoretical and fantastic.
30:26But he has the makings of a detective in him.
30:28Ah!
30:28But I do say, as I've said before, the Coburg branch of the bank is as well secured as any building in London.
30:35There is no possibility that he could be broken into.
30:38Even insurance assessors agree on that point.
30:40And you, sir, should know, being not only the resident manager, but also the director.
30:43I should know, and I do know.
30:46And what is more, this is the first time for seven and twenty years that I've missed my Saturday night of whist at my club.
30:51Oh, dear.
30:52And I find myself extremely inconvenienced.
30:54I think that you will find the game tonight much more exciting, and the stake will be for many, many thousands of pounds.
31:05And what will my reward be, Mr. Holmes?
31:07A young man called Clay.
31:11John Clay?
31:13Oh, how I'd like to get my hands on that devil.
31:16You shall.
31:17This young fellow's a gentleman, as Mr. Holmes says, but he's turned against his class.
31:21He's as cunning as the devil, slippery as an eel, and he's turned crib cracking and forgery into a fine art.
31:27His grandfather was a royal duke, and he himself was educated at Eton and Oxford.
31:33So, Watson, bring the gun.
31:37Come, gentlemen, our cab is below.
32:18All right.
32:48All right.
33:18There are only two keys to the vault.
33:27I have one.
33:29The chairman holds the other in the personal safe.
33:31There are only two keys to the vault.
34:01Might I get you to sit on one of those boxes and not to interfere?
34:15There is no way in which a thief could break into this bank.
34:40Is it a special reason why you should want to break into this bank?
34:58Nothing particularly.
35:02Something in the past few months.
35:05Something that you have concealed from her.
35:08The information I have is confidential, known only to the directors of the bank.
35:13It is not to be divulged to members of the public.
35:16Not even amateur detectives.
35:20Private consulting detective, Mr. Merriweather.
35:24Unique in the annals of crime, I believe.
35:27Isn't that so, Inspector?
35:28Yes, Doctor.
35:29I advise you to cooperate with Mr. Holmes.
35:31Especially as, at this moment, I am trying to save your skin and that of your fellow directors.
35:40So what is it?
35:41Our French gold.
35:46We had occasion some months ago to strengthen our resources and borrowed for that purpose 60,000 napoleons from the Bank of France.
35:54Therefore, our reserve of bullion is much larger than is usual in such a branch of the bank.
36:01Where is this gold?
36:06The crates upon which Dr. Watson sits contain 30,000 napoleons wrapped between layers of lead foil.
36:20May we see it.
36:31May we see it.
37:01May we see it.
37:31May we see it.
37:52May we see it.
37:55This is my Spaulder.
38:25And larger in conception than I had at first thought.
38:29Wouldn't you say, Jones?
38:30I would, indeed.
38:31This clay's more of an amateur adventure or a spur-of-the-moment criminal.
38:34This long-planning's not clay-style at all, sir. Not at all.
38:38Unless it's a pawn.
38:40A much larger game.
38:45Mr. Merriweather, someone has had access to information of the most confidential sort.
38:51Careful plans have been made.
38:55A mastermind has been at work.
39:01Are you suggesting that...?
39:04I'm suggesting that it bears all the hallmarks of Professor Moriarty's work.
39:11Moriarty?
39:14And who is this Moriarty?
39:17We don't really know, sir.
39:19Well, that is, neither the police nor, I think, Mr. Sherlock Holmes here have ever set eyes on him.
39:23Yet his name echoes and re-echoes throughout the underworld.
39:26It appears that he is a man of good birth and excellent education.
39:32But...
39:36He has hereditary tendencies of the most diabolical kind.
39:41A criminal strain runs in his blood,
39:45which is increased and rendered infinitely more dangerous by his extraordinary mental powers.
39:52He is the organizer
39:54of half that is evil
39:57and nearly all that is undetected in this great city.
40:01He is never caught.
40:05His agent is caught.
40:07But the central power
40:09is never caught.
40:11He's seldom even suspected.
40:18We shall not see the Professor tonight.
40:28The only way for tonight's enemy to escape is through the pawnbrokers.
40:31Well, there's already an inspector in the cups below the doors.
40:37Gentlemen.
40:38We have only a few moments before this position.
40:49Would you be so kind as to put out this lamp?
40:52And sit in the dark?
40:55I'm afraid so.
40:56We cannot risk the presence of light.
40:58When I shine a light
41:10Close in swiftly
41:12If they fire, I have no compunction about shooting them down.
41:16It's a great day.
41:16It's a great day.
41:17Thank you, Mr. Pag нач.
41:19You've got some room for it.
41:20You're waiting for your spirit.
41:22Thank you, guys.
41:23Yes, sir.
41:25No more.
41:29Thank you, Mr. Pag ce.
41:30Thank you, Mr. Pag ce.
41:31Thank you he has a wonderful poll.
41:32Thank you, Mr. Pag ce.
41:33to this, the last one for a couple of years.
41:34I'm not really surprised by this.
41:36I'm going to come back.
41:36I won't tell you.
41:37And I will ask you, Mr. Pag ce,
41:38you are toys.
41:39I said, you're the only one for a couple of years,
41:40I know.
41:41I'll do a couple of years.
43:24Jump, Pachi.
43:25Jump!
43:26Thanks.
43:36It's no good, young Clay.
43:42I have no chance at all.
43:52So I see.
43:55Though I fancy my pal is all right.
43:58At this moment he is running into the welcoming arms of the police.
44:03You seem to have done the thing very completely. I must compliment you.
44:07And I you.
44:09I'm Sherlock Holmes a private investigator.
44:12I didn't for a moment suspect you of being a policeman, Mr. Holmes.
44:17Come on. Hold out. We're off at the Derby's.
44:19I beg you to take your filthy hands off me.
44:22You may not be aware that I have royal blood in my veins.
44:25And be so kind as to say sir and please when you address me.
44:29All right. Would you please sir mind marching upstairs
44:33where we get a cab to transport your highness to the police station?
44:37That's better.
44:42All right.
44:46Gentlemen.
44:53Oh one question Mr. Clagg.
44:56Am I right in thinking that Professor Moriarty was somewhere behind the idea of the red-headed league?
45:01I suggest you keep that name off your lips Mr. Holmes.
45:07If you value your future well-being.
45:11Really gentlemen.
45:18I don't know what to say.
45:19Please forgive me Mr. Holmes for ever doubting your outstanding or brilliant qualities.
45:23There is no doubt you have detected and defeated in the most complete manner
45:26one of the boldest attempts at bank robbery that has ever come within my experience.
45:30Mr. Merriweather I have been at some small expense over this matter
45:33which I shall expect the bank to refund.
45:38Of course.
45:39Of course.
46:00Right this way!
46:01Make me!
46:02Get up!
46:11Hey!
46:20No.
46:20it won't do you know
46:38it won't do
46:41no professor
46:43I'm sorry we failed you
46:47Sherlock Holmes
46:51Holmes is a mere amateur
46:53in the field of detection
46:55still
46:58he seems a clever man
47:01or a lucky one
47:04and he has a positive talent
47:08for getting in my way
47:10should he be removed?
47:14that may have been necessary
47:15it would be disappointing
47:19I find him interesting
47:22I believe this is the third time
47:26he has incommoded me
47:28if this continues
47:31then certainly something
47:32will have to be done
47:33to encourage Mr. Holmes
47:34either to withdraw
47:35or stand clear
47:39thank you
47:52thank you
47:56I beg your pardon Dr. Watson
48:10this has all been too much for me
48:25my clients respect me
48:28as a man of confidence
48:29but where's the confidence left here
48:31I'm utterly ruined
48:32oh cheer up Mr. Wilson
48:34you'll feel better when you've cleared up the mess
48:36well that's all very well
48:38and Mr. Holmes
48:39asked me to give you this
48:4050 sovereigns
48:43with the compliments
48:44of the city and suburban bank
48:46well
48:47that's fair enough
48:48oh Dr. Watson
48:50this is more than acceptable
48:52Emma compliments
48:54to Mr. Sherlock Holmes
48:56and he sends the same to you
48:58Mr. Wilson
48:58and a word of advice
48:59next time you engage
49:01an assistant
49:01pay him the proper wage
49:04good day to you
49:06good day to you
49:07good day to you
49:11good day to you
49:15good day to you
49:17good day to you
49:23oh
49:25Holmes
49:27I trust I am not more dense
49:29than my neighbours
49:30and yet here I have seen
49:31what you have seen
49:32heard what you have heard
49:34and yet you have seen clearly
49:35not only what had happened
49:36but what was about to happen
49:38while to me
49:39the whole business
49:39was still confused
49:40and grotesque
49:41is it what's in recollect
49:42when I heard
49:45that the assistant
49:45had come
49:46for half wages
49:47it was obvious
49:49that he had some motive
49:51for securing the situation
49:52yes but how did you know
49:54what his motive was
49:55had there been a woman
49:56in the house
49:56I would have suspected
49:57immediately
49:58some vulgar intrigue
50:00but when I heard
50:01from Mr. Wilson
50:01about the acid stain
50:03and the pierced ears
50:04I knew
50:05that Vincent Spaulding
50:07and John Clay
50:07were the same person
50:08but why was Clay there
50:10the photography gave you
50:13the clue
50:13exactly
50:14the cellar
50:15he was working on
50:16something in the cellar
50:18something which took
50:19many hours a day
50:20for two months on end
50:22he was tunneling
50:23but where to
50:25when I tapped my stick
50:28on the pavement
50:29in the street
50:29that day
50:30I was ascertaining
50:32whether the tunnel
50:33stretched in front
50:34or behind the building
50:35it was in front
50:36towards the bank
50:38could you tell me
50:40the way to the strand
50:40from here
50:41I recognised Clay
50:44immediately
50:44and delayed him
50:45to have time
50:46to examine
50:47his knees
50:48they spoke clearly
50:51of many hours
50:52of tunneling
50:52no doubt
50:53linking up
50:54with a maze
50:54of sewers
50:55beneath
50:55Saxe-Coburg Square
50:56when they closed
50:58the red-headed
50:58league offices
50:59it was a sign
50:59they no longer
51:00cared about
51:01Jabez Wilson's presence
51:03in other words
51:03the tunnel
51:04was complete
51:05and that they
51:06would make the attempt
51:07on the Saturday
51:07was just a guess
51:08Watson
51:10you disappoint me
51:13I never guess
51:15Saturday is an excellent
51:18night for stealing bullion
51:19it gives you a full day
51:21to escape
51:21thank you
51:22thank you
51:26oh you've reasoned it out
51:29beautifully Holmes
51:30it's so long a chain
51:31and yet every link
51:32rings true
51:33it saved me from our new
51:35you know sometimes
51:36I think
51:36that my whole life
51:38is spent in one
51:39long effort
51:40to escape
51:41from the common places
51:42of existence
51:43no no
51:43you are a benefactor
51:46of the race
51:47Holmes
51:47well maybe it is
51:50of some little use
51:50after all
51:51ah
51:53l'homme c'est rien
51:55l'oeuvre c'est tout
51:57as Gustave Flaubert
51:59wrote to George Sand
