00:26In the Merrymond the Dune
00:28I'm gonna do it!
00:30She'll quit play with me!
00:34Yeah, I'll do it!
00:35I'll do it!
00:36Where is she?
00:40I'll do it!
00:41Here's her!
00:42Help your mother!
00:44My dog!
00:58I'll do it!
01:01I'll do it!
01:09I'll do it!
01:27I don't know why you're getting so agitated, I 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!
01:49Break it off!
01:50Break it off!
01:51Break it off!
02:01Is that you, brother dear?
02:03Tis, brother dear!
02:04Put him down, Barney!
02:05He's easy!
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?
02:25Hi, Bob, you heard the question?
02:26I have one card to play, Sherlock, it'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 for the Artful Dodger!
02:44Ah, so sorry, sir!
02:45I pickpocket by 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
02:55isn't as challenging as returning it.
02:56Faith!
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 were 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, 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,
03:21thus 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.
03:33Six 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,
03:57but 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.
04:12And 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 in 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've moved your mother to a bigger room.
05:12Sherlock.
05:13Hello, mother.
05:14Please don't stand.
05:15My darling.
05:17What are the three months' harm, my darling?
05:20It'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.
05:38A 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.
05:59Grant, 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.
06:09Anything.
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.
06:32I did try to get you in there.
06:33I tried Balliol 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 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, sir.
07:04Sherlock Holmes.
07:05That'll be me, sir.
07:07This is yours, sir.
07:13Mycroft.
07:14Yes?
07:15Why 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.
07:23You've got to work your way up to be a porter.
07:25You're a scout.
07:26I'm a scout.
07:27The scout does...
07:28Whatever I tell him to do.
07:32I'm here to serve and not to learn.
07:34Oh, no, no. You'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, but 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?
08:26No.
08:49Are we all having a lovely day?
08:52I said, are we all having a lovely day?
08:55Yes.
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.
09:22I think it's a ransom.
09:23I think it's a ransom.
09:30Look at me with those princesses.
09:32Move!
09:34Let's go!
09:36Oh!
10:12Oh!
10:16Oh!
10:24Ahh!
10:27Alright, few-
10:29Ah!
10:30Ahh!
10:32Ah!
10:46Princess?
10:57What tea, Scout?
10:59Right away, Professor.
11:19What are you doing with those filings, sir?
11:23I do apologize, Professor Thompson.
11:25No good ever comes of poking your nose into business that does not concern you.
11:30I 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?
11:39Yes, of course.
11:44A Scout interested in mathematics?
11:47My father always instilled in me the love for reading. Taught me to be curious.
11:51Ah, curiosity.
11:52The greatest virtue. But not if you're a cat.
11:57Would you mind if I borrowed this?
12:00Not at all.
12:02Sherlock Holmes, sir.
12:04Sherlock?
12:05It's an unusual name.
12:24This is for the Chinese princess. Just arrived.
12:28Old court room to be.
12:30At your service, Mr. Smudger.
12:33Good lad.
12:49Scout.
12:56Your luggage, man.
12:58Please, place it on the desk.
13:25The shoe 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.
13:42Well, visiting my 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.
14:06All right, my scholars, on your feet.
14:12I present to you my Hodge Scholars.
14:19Take a good look.
14:21These students will be generals, prime ministers, leaders who will guide our world into the 20th century.
14:30Enjoy learning. Enjoy your youth.
14:33Welcome.
14:37I came up in 23 HGV, though, in Steylon.
14:43May I say so?
14:44No one has had a greater impact on expanding the British Empire than you.
14:48Everything to your satisfaction, sirs?
14:49Yes, thank you.
14:51Oh.
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.
15:00You notice him, then?
15:01Yes, he does, sir. Very well, sir.
15:03How, sir?
15:04Well, I'm his lowly brother, sir.
15:05What? Brother?
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.
15:23How could you say this wasn't interesting, Mycroft?
15:25Do carry on, young man.
15:26Well, my magnanimous brother here took pity on the black sheep of the family for which
15:31I am eternally grateful.
15:33More wine, your lordship.
15:35Sir, 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 earrings,
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,
16:07reformed.
16:07Was a taker, now a giver.
16:10Reborn to serve, sir.
16:12I'm sure we can take care of ourselves from now on, brother dearest.
16:15Very well, sir.
16:18I'm so sorry, sir.
16:20Well, no need to apologize, my croft, your brother'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 a
16:33holomorphic branch of log defined on an open disk of radius centered at x.
16:43Why?
16:46Why?
16:47Why?
16:47Why?
16:48Because that is how it works.
16:51An open disk of radius centered at y, not x.
16:59My apologies.
17:01Why?
17:03Who so generously thought to correct me?
17:08Ah, Mr. Holmes.
17:10Holmes the scout.
17:12I 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.
17:50You're having trouble finding the solutions.
17:54Ah, don't worry about that.
17:57You just have to get yourself some new numbers.
18:01These 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, a porter, a waiter, a candlestick maker, and 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 art of war.
18:45James Moriarty.
18:50Sherlock Holmes.
18:55It's a long loin.
18:57I'm 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'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 student.
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.
19:32You 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.
19:51But I can borrow it.
19:52And I shall return it to its cradle.
19:54All normal.
19:57Well, look to this dear, for it is life.
20:07You're the scout.
20:08Indeed.
20:09How did you get in here?
20:10I invited her.
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, and then he'll do
20:41the 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'd no follow to.
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.
21:23So he brought shame upon his parents and then his father made him take this position to teach him a
21:27lesson.
21:28Not quite.
21:29Brother.
21:30Yes.
21:31A high achiever. Am I correct?
21:33Spot on.
21:34Well, wasn't so hard, was it?
21:37My turn.
21:39Your signet ring.
21:40Your 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 and he had a face like a cow's udder, but he fought like a titan.
21:49So, ugly, yes, but magnificent nonetheless.
21:51Now, as is consistent with custom, a man knows he must wear his signet ring facing inward to represent content.
21:58Not 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.
22:10That must hurt.
22:11Not as much as this is going to hurt.
22:24Your ladyship.
22:27Until next time.
22:28I look forward to that.
22:29Whiskey?
22:30Yes, of course.
22:33But just a man can sympathize.
22:36He cannot hold his distant voice.
22:39A beautiful man that you see.
22:41I got a feeling that I hit the door.
22:44I say,
22:44In California,
22:46In California,
22:46In California,
22:48We're gonna go.
22:49In California,
22:51In California,
22:55At least you can run because you definitely can't fight.
23:03Yes.
23:04Well,
23:05I've always been more of a thinker than a fighter.
23:07Upstairs for thinking,
23:08Downstairs 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?
23:20The hand of mercy means nothing without the hand of judgment.
23:24Slap needs a tickle?
23:25Tickle 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.
23:37Part 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.
23:50Didn't do him much good, no.
23:53I'd say it's worth a pound or two.
23:56Let's steal her.
23:58Better still, you're the expert.
24:00You steal her.
24:02I 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.
24:34Tell me it wasn't you.
24:36What?
24:37Wasn't me, sir?
24:38The 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 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, we 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 without that 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.
25:35Lucky me.
25:39I'm going to find my brother.
25:43Get dressed.
25:44Meet me in the library.
25:49Mycroft.
25:51Stay out of trouble.
25:54One simple request.
25:56Is 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.
26:21Now, 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, yeah.
26:29I'm merely trying to prevent your professional embarrassment from being reprimanded by your chief officer,
26:32who happens to be my bridge partner, and is, as you know, a stickler for due process.
26:38Yes, sir.
26:39Quite.
26:40Sorry.
26:42Thank you, sir.
26:43Good man.
26:44Sir.
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 world 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, wait for it, a break-in.
27:18Astounding.
27:19How did you develop these skills of penetrating deduction?
27:22We've been gifted a couple of paw prints.
27:25There's a hook there.
27:25Who's missing his guest?
27:28I think 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,
27:36is 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 the court of law.
27:43Constable, sir.
27:44I don't have him.
27:44Right away, sir.
27:50Do you know his other?
27:51Never seen him before, sir.
27:55Leave him.
27:56Did you steal the prison?
27:58Not me.
27:59He's a judge.
28:00Have you come here?
28:02Have you come here?
28:04Have you come here?
28:04Yes, sir.
28:05What are you doing?
28:06Mycroft, what the bloody hell is going on?
28:08He's a brother of yours.
28:09Yes, sir.
28:09One minute he's a redeemed felon, then he's a servant,
28:12then he's a felon again, and now apparently he's a linguist.
28:16Again, 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.
28:35This is not proper procedure.
28:36Sir, I represent the law.
28:38I will do the investigation.
28:40And 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.
28:50Indeed.
28:51Uh, perhaps we should give the princess a chance
28:53to conduct this investigation as she sees fit.
28:55I must protest.
28:56Oh, really?
28:56Must you?
28:58Thank you, Constable.
28:59We'll take it from here.
29:01According to Lestrade,
29:02the thief scaled down the side of the building and into a boat.
29:05Lestrade told me there's a river in the woods where the thief rode from Candlin College.
29:10The thief rode out from Candlin College.
29:11Then get out here with the scrolls.
29:13Then?
29:14Disappeared.
29:15Disappeared.
29:16You have no idea where they went, sir.
29:17Footprints.
29:19Only one set of tracks.
29:21Only one thief.
29:22Head off this way.
29:25Footprints in here.
29:27The thief got into a carriage.
29:29Aye aye.
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?
29:47At 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.
29:57Well, frankly, I don't know what to see in him.
29:59I mean, yes.
30:00He 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, I 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.
30:21For your help.
30:24Your Royal Highness.
30:26Welcome to Oasis in the parched desert of this rural wasteland.
30:36What can I do for you gentlemen?
30:38Two whiskies, my good lady.
30:40And whatever you'd like for your fine self.
30:43I know.
30:44I'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, he pulled Sovereign's bride.
30:52And the landlady's eyes open wide with delight.
30:57Excuse me.
30:58Our carriage is in need of a bit of repair.
31:01Is the wheelwright around?
31:02Might we have a word with him?
31:03He's down at the village, but he'll be back shortly.
31:07We can wait.
31:20Are we playing the game of getting another, or are we playing follow the fiddler?
31:24Well, I'll take care of the former if you take care of the latter.
31:28It is your round.
31:30It is your round.
32:01Of God.
32:03What's gonna happen?
32:13He has the scrolls…
32:15Follow the scrolls.
32:18Check some out!
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.
32:33Well, 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?
32:55Ah, you're here too. Welcome to my overactive imagination. Why pull your punch?
33:02He can hear you?
33:03Yes.
33:04But he can't answer you.
33:05No. Those are the rules I didn't make. Now 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?
33:27Why don't you ask him?
33:29Why don't you ask him?
33:54Now, I don't know whether I should split your swede or smash your caps.
34:01What do you reckon?
34:03Hmm. Decisions, decisions.
34:06Why don't you ask my chum?
34:07Oh, I think they're sweet.
34:09Oh, I think they're sweet.
34:16Oh, that's interesting. Not exactly brimming with scrolls.
34:22I smell all right.
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 poor prints.
34:36How did you develop these skills of penetrating deduction?
34:40There are hand prints on either side of the window.
34:43Though he couldn't have been holding his rolls.
34:45What happens if he has them strapped to his back?
34:48Well, 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 haven't used one of these.
35:20Indeed I have.
35:21The devil will they think they're doing.
35:24Get back here!
35:26There is a special place in hell for many for the seas.
35:31We're present 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.
35:51But 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.
36:00Hmm.
36:02I have a feeling it needs to be...
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?
36:23There'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, as an arrow straight cushion.
37:20He hasn't been here since the crime.
37:22So, something or someone is not straight.
37:26Chandon.
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 as 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?
38:16This is the case that housed the scrolls.
38:19Our whiskey has made its mark.
38:22Now, before the scrolls were stolen, this case sat atop 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.
38:48Sir, 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.
38:56Atop.
38:59Rat.
39:01Rat.
39:11Cut follows rat.
39:13Cut follows rat.
39:15Cut follows rat.
39:25well we found our cabinet now we know how it got here shall we address the what door number one
39:37we have some kind of mechanical activator door number two
39:46the mechanism it's activating door number three the timing device door number four has 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 has the ability to investigate
40:10hodges gala do you know how to diffuse one of these no do you can we move it
40:17there wouldn't solution what we've only got 90 seconds according to that clock this building
40:21will be a cathedral to science the stone and mortar that surround us yes i must now make mention of
40:30our brilliant mathematician professor charles thompson for his invaluable contribution
40:36ladies and gentlemen i invite you to charge your glasses
40:50homes what the devil are you doing in my chimney sorry to bother you sir
40:53uh rather pressing issue well i hope it is for your sake what is it a bomb give me the
40:57bomb
40:58a bomb is an incendiary device i don't know what a bloody bomb is homes what's that got to do
41:02with
41:03interrupting my speech and destroy my chimney proximity sir it's likely to go off in the next
41:0730 seconds killing anyone within the blast radius which i would assume is likely to be
41:11pretty much this whole room sir i see well that does seem to be a sound reason for god say
41:16would you stop being short english there's a bomb
41:53a bomb is 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 entrails very good sir
42:29so what exactly are we celebrating we haven't solved anything we don't know who planted the bomb or why
42:36and 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
42:45so i think that's worth raising a glass to
