00:26In the Merrymond the Dune
00:28I'm a little bit older
00:30Stay with me
00:32You're a little bit older
00:35Kiss me, girl, and mother
00:37Drank a point to hear me
00:38Weeping tears
00:39I'll give you her
00:41Here is her
00:42Help me, mother
00:43Help me, mother
00:44Help me, mother
00:44Help me, mother
00:45Help me, mother
00:45Help me, mother
00:45Help me
00:46Help me
00:46Help me
00:46Help me
00:46Help me
00:49Help me
00:50Frightened all the dogs
00:52On the rocky road
00:53To double and
00:54One, two, three, four, five
00:55Haunt their hair
00:56And turn around
00:57The rocky road
00:59All the ways to double and
01:00Whack for loudy bad
01:03Oh my god
01:27I don't know why you're getting so agitated
01:28I just said you have a rather large cranium
01:33Mr. Holmes
01:36You'll have to be quicker than that, Barney
01:40Saw that one coming a mile off
01:42You need to hide your intent for Barney
01:44And get mad
01:57Break it off
01:58Take it off
01:59Is that you, brother dear?
02:02Tis, brother dear
02:04Put him down, Barney
02:10Nice of you to pop by.
02:12Holiday is over.
02:13Follow me, Sherlock.
02:18Really, I meant no offense, Barney.
02:21Captain, Bob, Mr. Dickey.
02:23Sherlock, your brother couldn't get us out, could he?
02:25All right, Bob, 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?
02:34This time.
02:36Reading.
02:37Reading doesn't get you arrested, so what did?
02:40Oliver Twist.
02:42I rather took a shy into 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.
02:56No, 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 were sent down for six.
03:07I am considering transportation to Australia.
03:10I'm afraid that won't be possible, Your Honor.
03:13Excuse me?
03:141857, the Penal Servitude Act.
03:16According to precedent, a court is either bound by the decisions of the court above it
03:19or the decisions of a court of equivalent standing, thus in this case making it conspicuously
03:23impossible 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.
03:53So, 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.
04:06Or conventional.
04:07Secure.
04:08Predictable.
04:08Influential.
04:09Tedious.
04:09Reliable.
04:11Consistent.
04:11Stable 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.
04:22Arguably 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.
04:35But 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 money.
04:56Mr. Holmes.
04:57We have moved your mother to a bigger room.
05:12Sherlock.
05:13Hello, mother.
05:14Please don't stand.
05:15My darling.
05:18Were the three months hard, my darling?
05:20It's quite an education, really.
05:22Oh.
05:23Does that hurt?
05:24Oh.
05:25Only when I laugh.
05:27My father wrote to me.
05:28He's in Vienna.
05:30Sounds well.
05:33They're listening to me.
05:38I'm whirring.
05:40All the time.
05:43They can hear everything I say.
05:45And 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.
06:01So I'll be close by.
06:03And I can visit much more often.
06:06You have to promise me something.
06:09You 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.
06:28University College was founded in 1249, making it the oldest college in Oxford.
06:32I did try to get you in there.
06:34I tried Balliol College 2, 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 the clumsy modality of 1458.
06:48Now, I got your foot in the door.
06:50Time to start taking advantage of your advantage.
06:55There'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.
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 the 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.
07:36Come on, son.
07:37The shitters aren't going to clean themselves, are they?
07:40Mycroft.
07:42Go on, have a tea.
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.
08:13My 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?
08:49Are we all having a lovely day?
08:52I said, are we all having a lovely day?
08:55Yes.
08:56Good.
08:58I won't hold you up for long.
09:01I'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.
09:23She thinks it's a ransom.
09:30You'll call me my voice princess.
09:32Move!
09:34Let's go!
09:34Go!
09:38No!
10:06Oh, yes!
10:16Oh
10:46Princess
10:57What tea, Scout?
10:59Right away, Professor
11:19What are you doing with no piling, sir?
11:23I do apologize, Professor Thompson
11:24No 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, recently published, rather well received, if I may say so
11:38May I?
11:39Yes, of course
11:44A scout interested in mathematics?
11:47My father always instilled in me the love for reading
11:49Taught me to be curious
11:51Ah, curiosity
11:52The greatest virtue
11:55But not if you're a cat
11:57Would you mind if I borrowed this?
12:00Not at all
12:02Sherlock Holmes, sir
12:03Sherlock?
12:05It's an unusual name
12:24This is for the Chinese Princess, just arrived
12:27Old court room to be
12:30At your service, Mr Smudger
12:33Good lad
12:49Scout
12:56Your luggage, man
12:57Please, place it on the desk
13:13The shoe maker
13:14Do you mean he was a drunk?
13:18That was his poison of drink
13:19Yes, sir
13:19Yes, sir
13:25The shoe maker had a dependency
13:27Do you mean he was drunk?
13:28That was his poison of choice, yes
13:30That was his poison of choice, yes
13:30Which explained your slurred delivery
13:35Your highness
13:38A silence for Sir
13:40Well, visiting my not inconsiderable business interests in this glorious empire of ours
13:49It 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
14:06Right, my scholars
14:08On your feet
14:12I present to you
14:14My Hodge scholars
14:19Super good luck
14:20These students should be
14:22Generals
14:23Prime Ministers
14:24Leaders who will guide our world into the 20th century
14:29Enjoy learning
14:30Enjoy your youth
14:32Welcome
14:37I came up in 23
14:40HGV
14:40In
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?
14:49Yes, thank you
14:50Thank you
14:53You quite sure?
14:54Yes, fine
14:54Thank you
14:55Nothing else I can get you
14:56I am, of course, at your service
14:57At your beck and call
14:58As you well know, sir
14:59I said I'm fine
15:00Thank you
15:00Yes, he does, sir
15:02Very well, sir
15:04Well, I'm his lowly brother, sir
15:05What?
15:06Brother?
15:07No
15:08Is this true, Mycroft?
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 serving you?
15:18Redemption, sir
15:19From what?
15:20Prison
15:21Her Majesty's pleasure
15:22How could you say this wasn't interesting, Mycroft?
15:25Do you carry on, young man?
15:27Well
15:28My magnanimous brother here took pity on the black sheep of the family
15:31For which I am eternally grateful
15:33More wine, your lordship
15:34Sir
15:35Tell me
15:35Do you have the same parents?
15:38Yes, we do, sir
15:39Although sadly
15:40We only really get to see each other at family funerals, court earrings, the like
15:45Sir, today
15:46That's quite a good thing
15:48Is your special day
15:50Your scholars
15:51Are an inspiration to us all
15:53So, um
15:53Tell me, young man
15:54What?
15:55What was your crime?
15:56Larceny
15:57Thieving
15:58Theft
15:58Petty theft
16:00Although those days are well and truly behind me
16:03Spiritually
16:05And permanently
16:06There we are
16:07Reformed
16:07Was a taker
16:08Now a giver
16:10Reborn to serve, sir
16:11Thank you
16:12I'm sure we can take care of ourselves from now on
16:14Brother dearest
16:15Very well, sir
16:18I'm so sorry, sir
16:20Well, no need to apologise, my crofty brother
16:22That's the most interesting thing about you
16:27One should assume here that x is greater than y
16:30Define the powers of x and y
16:32Using a holomorphic branch of log
16:36Defined on an open disk of radius
16:38Centred at x
16:43Why?
16:47Why?
16:47Why? Because that is how it works
16:51An open disk of radius centred at y, not x
16:59My apologies
17:01Why?
17:03Who so generously thought to correct me?
17:09Ah, Mr. Holmes the Scout
17:11I see you've read my book
17:13I did, Professor Thompson
17:15Which is more than I can say for some of my students
17:21Saved by the bell
17:24Homework
17:25Find me all the solutions of this
17:28Quintick
17:50You're having trouble finding the solutions
17:54Ah, don't worry about that
17:57You just have to get yourself some new numbers
18:00These solutions, they're not real
18:04They're imaginary
18:07That means even if you can't see the target
18:09You can still shoot for it
18:11So you're a mathematician now
18:13A porter, a waiter, a candlestick maker
18:16And a kleptomaniac
18:18Was a taker
18:20Now a giver
18:22Does Hutch's 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
18:38Hark at you with your heart of war
18:45James Moriarty
18:49Sherlock Holmes
18:55So long, Lonnie
18:57I'm Lonnie, 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, are you even invited?
19:05I don't think you need to worry about that
19:08You'll just follow my need
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 marvelous
19:19I won't be moved
19:20Wonderful dress, madam
19:26Excuse me
19:27Excuse me
19:30Leave this with me
19:31Sorry
19:32You have a dramatic split in the back of your jacket
19:42To Sazeracs, their ego
19:44Thank you
19:45My pleasure
19:48Excuse me, sir
19:49You cannot take that
19:50Oh, you're absolutely right, sir
19:51But I can borrow it
19:52And I shall return it to its cradle
19:58Well, look to this day
19:59For it is life
20:07You're the scout
20:08Indeed
20:08How did you get in here?
20:10I invited him
20:10And who invited you?
20:12No one
20:12And yet, here I am
20:15If I wish to socialize with a cleaner
20:17I'd have a party
20:18In the servants' quarters
20:20So if you wouldn't mind
20:23I'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
20:35And he'll leave without further protest
20:36You take a good long look at him
20:38And you tell us what you can glean
20:40And then he'll do the same to you
20:41And 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
20:54He's clearly not intimately acquainted with anything approaching hard labor
20:58So not just a servant
21:00But a lazy one, too
21:01Had you not considered that he wears gloves?
21:04So what else?
21:07Oh, that's it
21:08Well, you had a promising start
21:10But you'd no follow-through
21:12What you made was an observation
21:13Not 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
21:23So he brought shame upon his parents and then his father
21:26And made him take this position to teach him a lesson
21:28Quiet
21:29Brother
21:30Yes
21:31A high achiever
21:32Am I correct?
21:33Spot on
21:35Well, wasn't so hard, was it?
21:37My turn
21:39Your signet ring
21:41The crest
21:42Your ancestor was the Count of Boulogne
21:44Fought at the Battle of Hastings
21:45He was five foot two
21:46And he had a face like a cow's udder
21:48But he fought like a titan
21:49So, ugly, yes
21:50But magnificent nonetheless
21:51Now, as is consistent with custom
21:53A man knows
21:54He must wear his signet ring facing inward
21:56To represent content
21:57Not outward to represent form
22:00Inward for noble lion
22:02Outward for tabby cat
22:03Tell me
22:04Which direction does your ring point?
22:07Oof
22:07Peregrine
22:10That must hurt
22:10Not as much as this is going to hurt
22:13Oh
22:24Don't let it sip
22:27Until next time
22:28Oh, I look forward to that
22:29Whiskey?
22:30Yes, of course
22:31I can't find no way at home
22:33But just a man can sympathize
22:36He can't uphold his distant voice
22:38The beautiful man that you see
22:41I got a feeling that I hit the door
22:43I say, you can't afford the man
22:46You can't afford the man
22:48You can't afford the man
22:49You can't afford the man
22:51At least you can run because you definitely can't fight
23:03Yes, well
23:05I've always been more of a thinker than a fighter
23:07Upstairs for thinking
23:09Downstairs for dancing
23:11You might want to re-strategize that philosophy
23:14The two aren't mutually exclusive
23:15Why do you think an emperor employs a general?
23:20The hand of mercy means nothing without the hand of judgment
23:24Sath 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 Shuan
23:35The art of war
23:36Part of the original scrolls, 5th century BC
23:42In order to know your enemy
23:43You must become your enemy
23:47My father had a copy of this
23:50Didn't do him much good, no
23:53I'd say it's worth a pound or two
23:56Let's deal
23:58Better 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 the money
24:10I could do more with my freedom
24:33Tell me it wasn't you
24:36What, wasn't me, sir
24:37The police are on their way
24:40Not quite sure I'm following
24:41The robbery last night
24:42The library
24:43You had keys
24:44The scrolls had 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
25:13I 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 what, I 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
25:54One 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 is 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
26:21Surely this is more detectives' work
26:24I thought we'd make initial inquiries
26:26Early worm catches the bird
26:28Could be in trouble, yeah
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
26:53Which you know what we're looking for?
26:55Not really, no
26:56I thank you for keeping me updated, but 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
27:14There has been
27:15Wait 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 paw 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, not here
27:41He has a chance to defend himself in the court of law
27:43Constable's room of him
27:44Right away, sir
27:46Do you know each other?
27:51Never seen him before, sir
27:55Leave him
27:56Do you have a friend?
27:58It's not me
27:59He's in the house
28:00Have you been in the house?
28:02Do you have a friend?
28:04I have a friend
28:05What are you doing?
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
28:24He knocked this off
28:26The clue's 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 it
28:55I must protest
28:56Oh really, monsieur
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 they went, sir
29:18Footprints
29:19Only one set of tracks
29:21Only one thief
29:22Head off this way
29:25Footprints in here
29:27Thief got into a carriage
29:28Oi oi
29:30Looks 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?
29:46At the maths lecture
29:48Why?
29:49Were you corrected, Professor Thompson?
29:51Why?
29:52The professor's calculations were incorrect
29:54That was all
29:56Disappointing
29:56Well, frankly, I don't know what to see in him
29:58I mean, yes
29:59He is somewhere handsome in a sort of obvious
30:02clumsy kind of way
30:03But
30:03If 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
30:21For your help
30:24You're right, Highness
30:26Welcome to 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, I'm getting this
30:44Your money's no good here
30:45I'll get the drinks
30:47You get the tea
30:49And out of his pocket
30:51He pulled sovereign's bride
30:52And the landlady's eyes
30:54Open wide with delight
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
31:47I'll try to see what's going on
31:48Come on起ση
32:03Let's
32:04goard Walk
32:04go
32:14Here's the Skrulls.
32:15Stop the Skrulls.
32:28When are you going to stop locking people's fists with your nose?
32:31It wasn't his fist, James. It was his forehead.
32:32Yes. 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.
33:16Punch, Ola!
33:20Oh, lovely tackle.
33:22Why wait for you to come out?
33:27What, 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?
34:03Hmm.
34:04Decisions, decisions.
34:06Why don't you ask my chum?
34:07Oh, I think the Swede.
34:16Oh, that's interesting.
34:18Not exactly brimming with scrolls.
34:22I smell a rat.
34:23What if you 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 poor prints.
34:36How did you develop these skills of penetrating deduction?
34:40There are handprints on either side of the window.
34:43So he couldn't have been holding his rolls.
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 and he reaches back for them.
35:00Wouldn't put them 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.
35:18You ever used one of these?
35:20Indeed, I have.
35:21The devil, what do you think they're doing?
35:24Get back here!
35:26There is a special place in hell for many for them.
35:31We'll put them 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.
35:44And then back in again to make it look like it was pushed in from the outside.
35:49Well, this wasn't a break-in.
35:51Well, it's been made to look like it was a break-in.
35:58Is that where my statues can 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.
36:14Princess, 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.
37:16Everything's straight.
37:17Not just straight.
37:18Straight as an arrow-straight cushion.
37:20He hasn't been here since the crime.
37:23So, something or someone is not straight.
37:26John Don.
37:30He's been to the wub.
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.
37:43Speaking of luck.
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?
38:16This is the case that housed the scrolls.
38:19Our whiskey has made its mark.
38:22Now, before the scrolls were stolen, this case sat on top of a cabinet.
38:25A cabinet which is now missing.
38:28Why was it taken and what was inside?
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.
38:48Sir, there would have been five corridors.
38:50One for the Norman aristocracy, two for the masses, and two for the servants coming in and out from the
38:54kitchen.
38:54All bricked up and panelled over.
38:58Rattatatat.
39:00Rattatatat.
39:28Rattatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatat
39:29Now we know how it got here, shall we address the what?
39:34Door number one. We have some kind of mechanical activator.
39:41Door number two.
39:46The mechanism, it's activating.
39:48Door number three.
39:50A diving device.
39:52Door number four. How's that a guess?
39:58Oh dear.
40:00Well now we know the what.
40:01So what's the why?
40:04Nothing has such power to broaden the mind as the ability to investigate.
40:10Hodge's Gala.
40:11Do you know how to defuse one of these?
40:14No. Do you?
40:15Can we move it?
40:17That wouldn't.
40:18Solution?
40:19We'll be going about 90 seconds according to that clock.
40:21This building will be a cathedral to a science.
40:24The stone and mortar that surround us.
40:26If yes.
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, what the devil are you doing in my chimney?
40:52Sorry to bother you, sir.
40:54A rather pressing issue.
40:55Well, I hope it is for your sake. What is it?
40:56A bomb.
40:57Give me the bomb.
40:58A bomb is an incendiary device.
41:00I don't know what a bloody bomb is.
41:01Holmes, what's that got to do with interrupting my speech and destroy my chimney?
41:05Proximity, sir.
41:06It's likely to go off in the next 30 seconds, killing anyone within the blast radius, which
41:10I would assume is likely to be pretty much this whole room, sir.
41:12I see.
41:13Well, that does seem to be a sound reason.
41:15For God's sake, would you stop being so English?
41:18There's a bomb!
41:35I'll wait...
41:44I'll wait...
41:49I'll wait...
41:53...and turn it over to somebody...
41:54For those who are behind us, I'm going to string them up, cut them down while they're
41:56still alive, disembowel them, and burn their entrails before they rise.
42:00Entrails.
42:01Very good, sir.
42:29So what exactly are we celebrating?
42:31We haven't solved anything. We don't know who planted the bomb, or why.
42:36And that is not our concern.
42:38That's not our concern.
42:39We set out to find the scrolls. We found them.
42:41I'm not losing my scholarship and you're not going to prison.
42:45So I think that's worth raising a glass to.
42:54Why aren't you drinking?
42:56Not thirsty.
43:00Come in.
43:03Oh, another survivor.
43:05Yes, but I can't pretend I'm not shaken.
43:09Please sit.
43:13Can I have one of those?
43:16Yes, of course. Please come in. Close the door.
43:27Well, at least someone's thirsty.
43:29I wanted to thank you, Sherlock, for finding my father's scrolls.
43:35Oh, well, don't mind me. I'm just an Ashkenazi side dish.
43:41Besides, I have a previous arrangement.
43:44Do you?
43:46You're much more than chopped liver, my friend. You must stay. You're the main course.
43:49No, no, no, no.
43:52So, Romeo, Juliet, good night, good night.
43:56Parting is such sweet sorrow that I should say good night.
44:02Because I'm off the pub.
44:10Now, how should I reward you?
44:12Oh, no, that's not necessary.
44:15At least let me top you up.
44:24Your companion, James Moriarty, is quite brilliant.
44:28But not as brilliant as you.
44:36Here's to your extraordinary future.
44:47You missed a bit.
44:54Why don't you sit down over there and I'll clean you up.
44:59I'm not quite sure this is all, er...
45:01I insist.
45:18I'm not quite sure this is all.
45:19Come play with me.
45:21Where would her?
45:23Sure.
45:23Why don't you play with your sister?
45:25Go on.
45:26Get off, sure.
45:27Play with her.
45:33Five.
45:35Where is she?
45:37Cordelia?
45:38Beatrice!
45:39Beatrice!
45:39Me!
45:41Beatrice!
45:46Beatrice!
45:49You'll think I'll do it.
45:51Come on, Dave.
45:52Get it.
45:52Come on, you see.
45:54Come on.
45:55Get a move.
45:58Police!
45:59Open up!
46:00That's it.
46:01Get him on his feet, Max.
46:02Put on your feet.
46:07Sherlock Holmes.
46:09I'm arresting you for the murder of Professor Charles Thompson.
46:13Take him away.
