00:05That's it. That's it. Don't snap it. Take one. Top. Cast to the river.
00:14I can't even sail. I can't even sail. I can't. I can't. I can't.
00:20I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't.
00:26In the merry month of June from beyond.
00:29I can't. I can't. I can't.
00:34Get up.
00:35Play with me.
00:37Where is she?
00:40Vildivia?
00:41Vildivia?
00:42Vildivia!
00:44My dog!
00:45My dog!
00:46My dog!
00:47My dog!
00:49My dog!
00:57My dog!
01:01My dog!
01:05My dog!
01:06My dog!
01:21My dog!
01:27I don't know why you're getting so agitated. I just said you have a rather large cranium.
01:34Mr. Holmes.
01:36You'll have to be quicker than that, Barney.
01:40Saw that one coming a mile off.
01:41My dog!
01:42You'll need to hide your intent for Barney!
01:44I'm gonna...
01:48Rip him in the from me!
01:57Break it off.
01:59Break it off.
02:01Is that you, brother dear?
02:03Tis, brother dear.
02:04Put him down, Barney.
02:10Nice of you to pop by.
02:12Holiday's over.
02:13Follow me, Sherlock.
02:18Really, I meant no offence, Barney.
02:21Captain, Bob, Mr. Dickey.
02:23Sherlock, your brother couldn't get us out, could he?
02:25Mycroft, you heard the question?
02:26I have one card to play, Sherlock.
02:27It's either you or him.
02:30Two years will fly by, Mr. Dickey.
02:33What exactly landed you in prison this time?
02:36Reading.
02:37Reading doesn't get you arrested, so what did?
02:40Oliver Twist.
02:42I rather took a shine to the artful Dodger.
02:44Ah, so sorry, sir.
02:45I pickpocket my trade.
02:47I thought to myself, I wonder if I could do that.
02:49Allow me, sir.
02:51This fell out of your pocket.
02:53The problem is, extracting a gentleman's wallet isn't as challenging as returning it.
02:57No, no.
02:58Why would you be returning the wallet with its contents intact?
03:01It's the extraction that is the attraction.
03:04That explains the first three months, but you sent down for six.
03:07I am considering transportation to Australia.
03:10I'm afraid that won't be possible, Your Honour.
03:13Excuse me?
03:141857.
03:15The Penal Servitude Act.
03:16According to precedent, a court is either bound by the decisions of the court above it or the decisions of
03:20a court of equivalent standing, thus in this case making it conspicuously impossible to send a man to Australia.
03:25Two months for contempt.
03:26As you could be in breach of the act.
03:28Three months.
03:29And in an ironic turn of fate, could subsequently find yourself stood in this very dock.
03:32Six months.
03:34I find it astonishing that the judge didn't see your point of view.
03:37My point, exactly.
03:40You could have got me out sooner.
03:47Ah, there it is.
03:49I knew there was a face underneath that nest of crows.
03:52So, how was the food?
03:54The chef was often a little heavy with the weevils in the gruel, but the claret was excellent.
04:00You should try it sometime.
04:01Yes, I'm quite happy where I am.
04:03Respectable job in the civil service.
04:05Respectable or conventional?
04:07Secure.
04:08Predictable?
04:08Influential.
04:09Tedious.
04:09Reliable, consistent, stable, and responsible.
04:13You should try it sometime.
04:15And on that note, prepare yourself.
04:17I come bearing a gift.
04:20Apprehensive.
04:20I've secured you a place at Oxford.
04:23Arguably the greatest university in the world.
04:25You have, brother dear.
04:26I have, brother dear.
04:27Well, I'm surprised.
04:29Grateful.
04:32I've always been rather fascinated by a life dedicated to the pursuit of learning.
04:35And I'll be there on government business.
04:37So I'll be able to keep an eye on you.
04:39Make sure your hair is brushed.
04:40Teeth are clean.
04:40Shoes are shiny.
04:41When do we go?
04:42Imminently.
04:43I'm touched.
04:44Moved.
04:45Get dressed.
04:46We're going to pay our respects to mummy.
04:56Mr. Holmes.
04:57We have moved your mother to a bigger room.
05:01I'll be there.
05:11I'll be there.
05:12I'll be there.
05:14I'll be there.
05:15I'll be there.
05:17I'll be there.
05:19It's quite an education, really.
05:22Ooh.
05:23Does that hurt?
05:24Oh.
05:25Only when I laugh.
05:27Father wrote to me.
05:28He's in Vienna.
05:30Sounds well.
05:33They're listening to me.
05:38Are whirring.
05:40All the time.
05:43They can hear everything I say.
05:46And there's a man.
05:47With a bird claw.
05:49And he's coming back for me.
05:54I'm sorry I haven't been able to visit much recently, Mother.
05:57It's not your fault.
05:59But I'm in Oxford now.
06:00So I'll be close by.
06:02And I can visit much more often.
06:06You have to promise me something.
06:09Anything.
06:10You must stay out of trouble.
06:13Understood.
06:14I will.
06:15No more trouble.
06:17I won't lose you, too.
06:27University College was founded in 1249, making it the oldest college in Oxford.
06:32And he tried to get you in there.
06:33I tried Belial College II, 1263.
06:36Then Merton, 1264.
06:39Sadly, dear brother, none of the founding colleges would take you.
06:42So I suppose I'll have to put up with a clumsy modernity of 1458, then.
06:48Now, I got your foot in the door.
06:50Time to start taking advantage of your advantage.
06:56There's something you're not telling me, isn't there?
06:57You'll thank me for it.
06:59One day.
07:01Ah, Smudger.
07:02Mr. Holmes, sir.
07:04Sherlock Holmes.
07:05That'll be me, sir.
07:07This is yours, sir.
07:13Mycroft.
07:14Yes?
07:14Why is the head porter proffering an apron?
07:17You're a smart boy.
07:18Work it out.
07:20I'm to be a porter, not a student.
07:22Oh, no.
07:23You've got to work your way up to be a porter.
07:25You're a scout.
07:26I'm a scout.
07:27And a scout does...
07:28Whatever I tell him to do.
07:32I'm here to serve and not to learn.
07:34Oh, no, no.
07:35You'll learn, all right.
07:36Go on, son.
07:37The shitters aren't going to clean themselves, are they?
07:40Mycroft.
07:42Bon appetit.
07:44Mycroft.
07:49The shitters, sir.
08:02Mr. Chen and I appreciate your government sending you to escort us from London to Oxford,
08:08but it wasn't necessary.
08:09Princess, I can assure you the honor is all mine.
08:12My government values our relationship with China very highly.
08:17We wouldn't want anything to go wrong.
08:20Is that why you've arranged an armed escort?
08:49We will have another lovely day.
08:52I said, are we all having a lovely day?
08:55Yes.
08:55Yes.
08:56Good.
08:58What, I'll do it for long.
09:00I'm just here for the scrolls.
09:13Thank you, darling.
09:15What about her?
09:18What about her?
09:19Our job is to take the scrolls.
09:21She's a princess.
09:22She's a princess.
09:22I think it's a ransom.
09:30You're coming with us, princess.
09:32Move!
09:33Let's go.
09:38Let's go.
09:39Let's go.
09:44Let's go.
09:52Let's go.
09:55Come on.
09:58Love.
09:58Let's go.
10:00Let's go.
10:02Let's go.
10:15I'm out of there.
10:46Princess?
10:57What tea, Scout?
11:00Right away, Professor.
11:19What are you doing with those?
11:22Sir, I do apologize, Professor Thompson.
11:25No good ever comes of poking your nose into business that does not concern you.
11:29I apologize, sir.
11:32Did you write this?
11:34Yes, I did. It's recently published. Rather well received, if I may say so.
11:38May I?
11:40Yes, of course.
11:44A scout interested in mathematics?
11:47My father always instilled in me the love for reading.
11:50Thought me to be curious.
11:51Ah, curiosity.
11:53The greatest virtue. But not if you're a cat.
11:57Would you mind if I borrowed this?
11:59Not at all.
12:02Sherlock Holmes, sir.
12:04Sherlock?
12:05That's an unusual name.
12:24This is for the Chinese Princess. Just arrived.
12:27Old courtroom to be.
12:30At your service, Mr. Smudger.
12:33Good lad.
12:49Scout.
12:56Your luggage, ma'am.
12:58Please, place it on the desk.
13:01Do you want me to get your shoes out of?
13:05You want me to get your shoes out of?
13:06Do I have to take it?
13:08If I can get it.
13:09If you're in a college school, you can't do things at a college school?
13:13How can't you say you can speak with me?
13:20The shoes maker had a dependency.
13:27Do you mean he was a drunk?
13:29That was his poison of choice, yes.
13:30Which explained your slurred delivery.
13:35Your Highness.
13:38A silence for Sir Bucephalus Hodge.
13:43While visiting my, er, not inconsiderable business interests in this glorious empire of ours,
13:50it struck me that it was time to give back.
13:55So, it is with great delight that I announce this term, the opening of my new science building.
14:02A brilliant addition to this glittering university.
14:07Well, scholars, on your feet.
14:12I present to you my Hodge Scholars.
14:19Take a good look, these students of the generals.
14:24Prime Ministers.
14:25Leaders who will guide our world into the 20th century.
14:30Enjoy your learning.
14:31Enjoy your youth.
14:33Welcome.
14:37I came up in 23.
14:40Get your feet though.
14:42Stay long.
14:43May I say so?
14:44No one has had a greater impact on expanding the British Empire than you.
14:47Everything to your satisfaction, sirs?
14:50Yes, thank you.
14:53You quite sure?
14:54Yes, fine.
14:55Nothing else I can get you.
14:56I am, of course, at your service.
14:57At your beck and call, as you well know, sir.
14:59I said I'm fine.
15:00Have you seen that?
15:01Yes, he does, sir. Very well, sir.
15:03How, sir?
15:04Well, I'm his lowly brother, sir.
15:05What?
15:06Brother?
15:07No.
15:08Is this true, Michael?
15:09It's not a very interesting story, sir.
15:11But is it true?
15:14Yes, indeed he is my brother.
15:16So how did he end up saving you?
15:18Redemption, sir.
15:19From what?
15:20Prison.
15:21Her Majesty's pleasure.
15:23How could you say this wasn't interesting, Mycroft?
15:25Do carry on, young man.
15:27Well, my magnanimous brother here took pity on the black sheep of the family for which
15:32I am eternally grateful.
15:33More wine, your lordship.
15:35So, tell me, do you have the same parents?
15:38Yes, we do, sir.
15:39Although, sadly, we only really get to see each other at family funerals, court hearings,
15:43the like.
15:45Sir, today is your special day.
15:50Your scholars are an inspiration to us all.
15:53So, um, tell me, young man, what was your crime?
15:56Larceny.
15:57Thieving.
15:58Theft.
15:59Petty theft.
16:00Although those days are well and truly behind me, spiritually and permanently, there we are,
16:06Reformed.
16:07Was a taker.
16:09Now a giver.
16:10Reborn to serve, sir.
16:12I'm sure we can take care of ourselves from now on.
16:14About the dearest.
16:15Very well, sir.
16:18I'm so sorry, sir.
16:20Well, no need to apologize, Mycroft.
16:22Your father's most interesting thing about you.
16:27One should assume here that x is greater than y and define the powers of x and y using
16:33a holomorphic branch of log defined on an open disk of radius centered at x.
16:43Why?
16:46Why?
16:47Why?
16:47Because that is how it works.
16:51An open disk of radius centered at y, not x.
16:54An open disk of radius centered at y, not x.
16:59My apologies.
17:01Why?
17:02Who so generously thought to correct me?
17:09Ah, Mr. Holmes, the scout.
17:11I see you've read my book.
17:14I did, Professor Thompson.
17:16Which is more than I can say for some of my students.
17:22Saved by the bell.
17:24Homework.
17:25Find me all the solutions of this quintick.
17:29Print check.
17:50We're having trouble finding the solutions.
17:54Ah, don't worry about that.
17:57You just have to get yourself some new numbers.
18:01These solutions, they're not real.
18:04They're imaginary.
18:07That means even if you can't see the target, you can still shoot for it.
18:11So you're a mathematician now.
18:13A porter, a waiter, a candlestick maker.
18:17And a kleptomaniac.
18:18Was a taker.
18:20Now a giver.
18:22Does Hodges' pocket watch keep good time?
18:24They say that it's the unconscious desire of every thief to be caught.
18:27That it's the fear of incarceration that gives freedom its currency.
18:30The fundamental fault of man is to think the enemy is external, not internal.
18:34Prison is in here, not out there.
18:38Harget you with your art of war.
18:45James Moriarty.
18:50Sherlock Holmes.
18:55It's a long line.
18:57I know you're not a great one for waiting.
18:59Waiting for what?
19:01We're going to a party.
19:03We're not quite dressed for this.
19:04Are you even invited?
19:05I don't think you need to worry about that.
19:08You just follow my lead.
19:09Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
19:11May I see your invitations, please?
19:14Sirs, madams, please stand tight to the wall to keep the path clear for the other students.
19:18This is marvellous.
19:19I won't be moved.
19:21Wonderful dress, madam.
19:26Excuse me.
19:27Excuse me.
19:28Excuse me.
19:30Leave this with me.
19:31Sir.
19:33You have a dramatic split in the back of your jacket.
19:42Two Sazeracs.
19:43There you go.
19:45My pleasure.
19:48Excuse me, sir.
19:49You cannot take that.
19:50Oh, you're absolutely right, sir.
19:52But I can borrow it.
19:52And I shall return it to its cradle.
19:54Oh, oh, oh.
19:57Well, look to this day, for it is life.
20:07You're the scout.
20:08Indeed.
20:09How did you get in here?
20:10I invited him.
20:11And who invited you?
20:12No one.
20:12And yet, here I am.
20:15If I wished to socialise with a cleaner, I'd have a party in the servants' quarters.
20:20So if you wouldn't mind, I'd ask you to leave.
20:24He might be a cleaner, but he's a very clever cleaner.
20:26Oh, such fun.
20:27At last we have characters at one of your parties, Peregrine.
20:30I have an idea.
20:33You outsmart the scout, and he'll leave without further protest.
20:37You take a good long look at him, and you tell us what you can glean.
20:40And then he'll do the same to you.
20:42And then I'll be the judge of who wins.
20:45Very well.
20:46Show me your hand.
20:49Interesting signet ring.
20:50I notice an absence of any type of ring.
20:53And no calluses.
20:55He's clearly not intimately acquainted with anything approaching hard labour.
20:59So not just a servant, but a lazy one too.
21:02Had you not considered that he wears gloves?
21:04So what else?
21:07Oh, that's it.
21:08Well, you had a promising start, but you had no follow through.
21:12What you made was an observation, not a deduction.
21:15No calluses.
21:16So how does he find himself in this position?
21:19Well, I'd say he got into a spot of bother along the way.
21:22He got kicked out of school, so he brought shame upon his parents and Lily's father
21:26and made him take this position to teach him a lesson.
21:28Quiet.
21:28Brother.
21:30Yes.
21:31A high achiever. Am I correct?
21:33Spot on.
21:35Oh.
21:36Wasn't so hard, was it?
21:37My turn.
21:39Your signet ring.
21:40The crest.
21:42Your ancestor was the Count of Boulogne.
21:44Fought at the Battle of Hastings.
21:45He was five foot two and he had a face like a cow's udder, but he fought like a titan.
21:49So, ugly, yes, but magnificent nonetheless.
21:52Now, as is consistent with custom, a man knows he must wear his signet ring facing inward
21:56to represent content, not outward to represent form.
22:00Inward for Noble Lion.
22:02Outward for Tabby Cat.
22:03Tell me, which direction does your ring point?
22:07Oof, Peregrine.
22:09That must hurt.
22:11Not as much as this is going to hurt.
22:20The may be a man.
22:24Go, ladyship.
22:27Until next time.
22:28I look forward to that.
22:29Whiskey?
22:30Yes, of course.
22:31Help me!
22:36Help me!
22:37Oh, ladieship...
22:38Until next time.
22:39I look forward to that.
22:41Whiskey?
22:41Yes, of course.
22:41I got a feeling and I hit the star
22:43I said, in California, Canada
22:46In California, we're gonna go
22:48In California, we're gonna go
22:56At least you can run because you definitely can't fight
23:03Yes, well, I've always been more of a thinker than a fighter
23:07Upstairs for thinking, downstairs for dancing
23:11You might want to re-strategize that philosophy
23:13The two aren't mutually exclusive
23:15Why do you think an emperor employs a general?
23:20A hand of mercy means nothing without the hand of judgment
23:24Slap needs a tickle, tickle needs a slap
23:26There's an art to fighting
23:29There's an art to war
23:32These belong to the father of Princess Xu'an
23:35The art of war, part of the original scrolls, 5th century BC
23:42In order to know your enemy, you must become your enemy
23:47My father had a copy of this
23:51Didn't do him much good, no
23:53I'd say it's worth a pound or two
23:56Let's steal it
23:57Or better still, you're the expert
24:00You steal it
24:01I don't think that's a very good idea
24:06Oh, that's a shame
24:08You could do a lot with it, wouldn't you?
24:10I could do more with my freedom
24:34Tell me it wasn't you
24:36What wasn't me, sir?
24:38The police are on their way
24:40Not quite sure I'm following
24:41The robbery last night, the library
24:43You had keys
24:44The scrolls have been stolen
24:46And you was the last one seen going in
24:49I hope for your sake it wasn't you, my boy
24:52Excuse me, Mr Smudger
25:03Just for clarity's sake
25:04We didn't take those scrolls last night, did we?
25:07No, we didn't
25:12I just think we did
25:14He was just in here
25:15What did he say?
25:16He took my scholarship
25:19Oh, dear
25:20Yeah, so without that
25:21I can't stay here
25:25Lucky you
25:28Gets better
25:29Go on
25:30I can hardly wait
25:33Well, you'll be going back to prison
25:36Lucky me
25:39I'm going to find my brother
25:43Get dressed
25:43Meet me in the library
25:49Mycroft
25:51Stay out of trouble
25:53One simple request
25:55Is there any point protesting my innocence?
25:57Sherlock Holmes
25:59What is that?
26:01You need my help, don't you?
26:03No
26:03Sherlock Holmes
26:04I am arresting you in suspicion of theft
26:07You won't need those
26:08Sir, stop
26:09I'm a constable
26:10Yes, the clue was in the uniform
26:12Constable Lestrade of Oxford City Police Force
26:14Yes, and I am Mycroft Holmes of Her Majesty's Foreign Office
26:17I'm in Oxford to assist Sir Bucephalus Hodge with the opening of his new science building
26:21Now, surely this is more detective's work
26:24I thought we'd make initial inquiries
26:26Early worm catches the bird
26:28Could be in trouble now
26:29I'm merely trying to prevent you from professional embarrassment from being reprimanded by your chief officer
26:32Who happens to be my bridge partner
26:34And is, as you know, a stickler for due process
26:37Yes, sir
26:39Quite
26:42Thank you, sir
26:43Good man
26:43Sir
26:44Come on
26:47I need you to get me into the library
26:50You've got ten minutes?
26:52Don't embarrass me again
26:53It's an old we're looking for
26:55Not really, no
26:56I thank you for keeping me updated
26:58But I would like to see the crime scene for myself
27:03A hole in the window
27:05Wonder what that's for
27:07You should be a detective
27:08Hard to escape
27:09My powers of observation
27:11What are these powers of observation telling you now?
27:13There has been
27:14Wait for it
27:15A break-in
27:18Astounding
27:19How did you develop these skills of penetrating deduction?
27:22We've been gifted a couple of poor prints
27:24There's a hook there
27:25Who's missing his guest?
27:28Think I've clocked the guest?
27:29Your ten minutes are up
27:31Mycroft
27:33Would you mind telling me why your brother, the prime suspect, is standing at the scene of the crime?
27:37I think it's only fair he has a chance to defend himself, sir
27:40No, he doesn't
27:41Not here
27:41He has a chance to defend himself in a court of law, constable, sir
27:44Right away, sir
27:49Do you know each other?
27:51Never seen him before, sir
28:06Mycroft, what the bloody hell is going on?
28:08His brother of yours
28:09Yes, sir
28:09One minute he's a redeemed felon
28:11Then he's a servant
28:12Then he's a felon again
28:13And now apparently he's a linguist
28:15Again, it's not a very interesting story, sir
28:18The thief was here at six minutes past ten
28:21How can you possibly know that?
28:22Because when he climbed down from the window, he knocked this off
28:26The clue was in the clerk
28:28And she didn't notice this, constable
28:30I can help you find your father's scrolls
28:32Well, there's a very good reason why you can help find them
28:34You stole them
28:34This is not proper procedure
28:36Sir, I represent the law
28:38I will do the investigation
28:39And they're my father's scrolls
28:41Need I remind you, sir
28:43How much of your trade with China relies on my father's goodwill?
28:47We are running late for your appointment with the dean, sir
28:49Indeed
28:51Perhaps we should give the princess a chance to conduct this investigation as she sees fit
28:55I must protest
28:56Oh, really, must you?
28:58Thank you, constable
28:59We'll take it from here
29:01According to Lestrade, the thief scaled down the side of the building and into a boat
29:06Lestrade told me there's a river in the woods where the thief rode from Candlin College
29:10The thief rode out from Candlin College, then get out here with the scrolls
29:13Then?
29:14Disappeared
29:14Disappeared?
29:16We have no idea where he went, sir
29:18Footprints?
29:19Only one set of tracks
29:20Only one thief
29:22Head off this way
29:25Footprints in here
29:27Thief got into a carriage
29:28Oi, oi
29:31Looks like one of them wheels was a little drunk
29:33And a drunk wheel would need to sober out
29:36Hello
29:37A coaching inn
29:38Where one might get a wheel fixed
29:41I wanted to ask
29:42Were you trying to impress me?
29:45Impress you?
29:47At the maths lecture
29:48Why?
29:49Were you corrected, Professor Thompson?
29:51Why?
29:52The professor's calculations were incorrect
29:53That was all
29:55Disappointing
29:56Well, frankly, I don't know what you see in him
29:58I mean, yes
29:59He is somewhere handsome in a sort of obvious clumsy kind of way
30:03But if you were ever looking for something a bit more niche
30:06A bit more bespoke
30:07More mysterious
30:08And where might the princess find a man like that?
30:11As stimulating as this is, chaps
30:13I need to return to my carriage
30:15Why?
30:15The gull opening
30:16Or just a new science building
30:18I promised him I would be there
30:20Thank you
30:21Will you help?
30:24Your Isle, Highness
30:26A welcomed oasis
30:27In the parched desert
30:29Of this rural wasteland
30:36What can I do for you, gentlemen?
30:38Two whiskies, my good lady
30:39And whatever you'd like for your fine self
30:41Thank you
30:43I know
30:43I'm getting this
30:44Your money's no good here
30:45I'll get the drinks
30:47You get the tip
30:49And out of his pocket
30:51He pulled sovereign's bride
30:52And the landlady's eyes
30:54Opened wide with the night
30:57Excuse me
30:58Our carriage is in need of a bit of repair
31:00Is the wheelwright around?
31:02Might we have a word with him?
31:03He's down at the village
31:05But he'll be back shortly
31:07We can wait
31:20Are we playing the game of getting another
31:22Or are we playing follow the fiddler?
31:24Well, I'll take care of the former
31:26If you take care of the latter
31:28It is your round
31:59We can wait
32:14Here's the scrolls, it's not the scrolls.
32:28When are you gonna stop locking people's fists with your nose?
32:31It wasn't his fist, James, it was his forehead.
32:33Yes, well, when you're engaged in combat it actually helps to throw a punch from time to time.
32:43He pulled his punch?
32:53What is this place?
32:56Ah, you're here too.
32:58Welcome to my overactive imagination.
33:01Why pull your punch?
33:02He can hear you?
33:03Yes.
33:04But he can't answer you?
33:05No.
33:06Those are the rules I didn't make.
33:08Now he's paused.
33:09Yes.
33:09Waiting for something, what's he waiting for?
33:13He's waiting for me to come out.
33:20Oh, lovely tackle.
33:22Why wait for you to come out?
33:27What don't you ask him?
33:28What don't you ask him?
33:30What don't you ask him?
33:49You can put them cannons down.
33:54Now, I don't know whether I should split your swede or smash your caps.
34:01What do you reckon?
34:02Hmm.
34:04Decisions, decisions.
34:04Decisions, decisions.
34:06Why don't you ask my chum?
34:07Oh, I think they're sweet.
34:16Ah, that's interesting.
34:17Not exactly brimming with scrolls.
34:22I smell a rat.
34:23What if he pulled his punch because he wanted to lure us away?
34:25Well, then someone doesn't want us in Oxford.
34:29Not even the same tube.
34:33We've been gifted a couple of foreprints.
34:36How did you develop these skills of penetrating deduction?
34:40There are handprints on either side of the window.
34:43Though he couldn't have been holding the scrolls.
34:45What happens if he has them strapped to his back?
34:48No, that's too big a cork for too small a bottle.
34:50So he hands them to an accomplice.
34:53Only one set of tracks.
34:55Only one thief.
34:57So he leaves them on the inside ledge.
34:58And he reaches back for them.
35:00Wouldn't put him down as a gymnast.
35:01Here's another possibility.
35:03What if they never left?
35:05What if the scrolls are still in the library?
35:08That's one hypothesis.
35:09You have a better one?
35:11In the unlikely event that you are, right?
35:13Why make it look like there was a theft?
35:14If there was no theft, that's the question.
35:18Have you ever used one of these?
35:20Indeed I have.
35:21What the devil do they think they're doing?
35:24Get back here!
35:26There is a special place in hell for many farming teams!
35:31We'll pedal in there as fast as we can.
35:35Hold on, this doesn't make sense.
35:38The lead's cracked.
35:40Stress fracture.
35:41It's not been pushed from the outside in.
35:42It's been pushed from the inside out.
35:43And then back in again to make it look like it was pushed in from the outside.
35:49Well, this wasn't a break-in.
35:51But it's been made to look like it was a break-in.
35:58Is that where my statue is going to go?
36:00I believe so, sir.
36:01Hmm.
36:02I have a feeling it needs to be...
36:05Hmm.
36:06Bigger?
36:06Very good, Mycroft.
36:08Yes, bigger.
36:08Just higher than all those kings and queens and saints and whatnot.
36:14Hmm.
36:15Princess, so generous of you to find time for my humble little shindig.
36:19The pleasure is mine.
36:21So the scrolls should be in here somewhere?
36:24There's a thousand places to hide them.
36:26Yes, that does provide a challenge.
36:37Well, maybe you were wrong.
36:39I was wrong.
36:40Yes.
36:40Well, the scrolls being here, that was all you.
36:43Remind me, what was your theory?
36:44You can't rush, genius.
36:46No.
36:46You take your time.
36:48Not you who's going back to prison.
36:49Well, maybe if you were a more accomplished pickpocket, then you wouldn't be going there in the first place, would
36:54you?
36:59We've been looking for a something, when we should have been looking for a someone.
37:03Walker.
37:04Who?
37:06Walker the porter.
37:07The porter who tidies the room.
37:10He suffers from chronic scrupulosity.
37:12Every night he walks around and makes sure everything in here is in order.
37:15Everything straight.
37:17Not just straight.
37:19As an arrow straight cushion.
37:20He hasn't been here since the crime.
37:22So, something or someone is not straight.
37:26Chandon.
37:29He's been to the pub.
37:31He's had a drink.
37:32A drink or two.
37:34He could have another.
37:35He should go home.
37:36But he doesn't know when to stop.
37:43It's beginner's look.
37:46Our secret lies in confusing the enemy so he cannot fathom our true intent.
37:51What if it was a diversion?
37:52The library is the busiest room in college.
37:54Even at night, porters check on the place every 30 minutes.
37:57The thief makes it seem as though the scrolls were stolen to ensure the library is sealed off as a
38:01crime scene.
38:02He then squirrels himself away in here and waits for all to be quiet and clear.
38:07He needs to be undisturbed.
38:08He needs time.
38:09Time?
38:10Time for what?
38:11It's all lost all the time.
38:11anything else.
38:16How did the barbarians get into the room?
38:16This is the case that housed the scrolls.
38:19How whiskey has made its mark.
38:22Now before the scrolls were stolen this case set up a cabinet.
38:25A cabinet which is now missing.
38:28Why was it taken and what was inside it?
38:30Let's focus on the how, and that will give us the what and the why.
38:34Now, how does a cabinet disappear when the police are at the only door?
38:40Through the walls.
38:41In its original incarnation, 400 years ago, before this was a library, what was this room?
38:46A medieval banqueting hall.
38:48So, there would have been five corridors.
38:50One for the Norman aristocracy.
38:51Two for the masses.
38:52And two for the servants coming in and out from the kitchen.
38:54All bricked up and panelled over.
38:58Rattatat.
39:11Rattatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatat
39:25Well, we found our cabinet.
39:30Now we know how it got here, shall we address the what?
39:35Door number one. We have some kind of mechanical activator.
39:41Door number two. The mechanism, it's activating. Door number three. The timing device. Door number four. How's that a guess?
39:58Oh dear. Well, now we know the what. So what's the why?
40:04Nothing has such power to broaden the mind as the ability to investigate.
40:10Hodge's Gala. Do you know how to defuse one of these?
40:14No. Do you? Can we move it? I wouldn't.
40:18Solution? Well, we've only got 90 seconds according to that clock.
40:21This building will be a cathedral to a science. The stone and mortar that surround us.
40:27Is he ace?
40:28I must now make mention of our brilliant mathematician, Professor Charles Thompson, for his invaluable contribution.
40:36Ladies and gentlemen, I invite you to charge your glasses.
40:50Holmes, all the clever you're doing in my chimney.
40:52Sorry to bother you, sir. Well, a rather pressing issue.
40:55Well, I hope it is for your sake. What is it?
40:56A bomb. You mean a bomb?
40:58A bomb is an incendiary device.
41:00I know what a bloody bomb is, Holmes. What's that got to do with interrupting my speech and destroying my
41:04chimney?
41:05Proximity, sir. It's likely to go off in the next 30 seconds, killing anyone within the blast radius, which I
41:10would assume is likely to be pretty much this whole room, sir.
41:12I see. Well, that does seem to be a sound reason.
41:15For God's sake, would you stop being so English?
41:17There's a bomb!
41:42There's a bomb!
41:53Grab the soldiers behind us. I'm going to string them up, cut them down while they're still alive, disembowel them
41:58and burn their entrails before the rise.
42:00Entrails?
42:01Very good, sir.
42:29so what exactly are we celebrating we haven't solved anything we don't know who planted the
42:33bomb or why and that is not our concern that's not our concern we set out to find the scrolls
42:40we found them i'm not losing my scholarship and you're not going to prison so i think that's what
42:46raising a glass to why aren't you drinking not thirsty
