00:28Oh

00:35The man with the bird's claw
00:36Did you say those words to anyone else?
00:39No
00:39You didn't tell anyone apart from me and Mycroft
00:42I tried to tell you, he's coming back for me
00:46Who's he?
00:47They're listening
00:50The whirring, always the whirring
00:55I couldn't understand why you wouldn't believe me

01:28Shut up
01:32What in God's name
01:36Oh, what fun?

03:54Are we making an escape?
03:58Yes.
04:07You've got an appointment, princess.
04:13You've got an appointment.
04:19You've got an appointment.

06:29You've got an appointment.
06:30You've got an appointment.
06:30I am going to go first.
06:32Oh, my God.
07:04Oh, my God.
07:37I'm afraid there's going to have to be some changes around here.
07:42I'm needed abroad on an expedition.
07:45Mycroft, I've arranged a government clerkship for you in London.
07:50Thank you, Father.
07:55Sherlock, I know you're not going to want to hear this, but your mother and I think it's best if
08:00you went to boarding school.
08:06I don't want to leave.
08:11Be strong, my boy.
08:24Mother?
08:25Mother?
08:26Mother?
08:26Where?
08:28Who?
08:32Oh.
08:37Oh, you brought me home.
08:45You're safe now.
08:58Yes, let's get you sat down and I'll light the fire.
09:00Oh, who's that?
09:01No, no, mother, mother.
09:02This is James, James Moriarty.
09:04He's a friend of mine.
09:05Hello.
09:06Oh, I'm so glad.
09:08Darling, Sherlock never had any friends.
09:11Oh, really?
09:12Darling, well, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Holmes.
09:17Darling, can you hear that music?
09:20Oh, that sound.
09:25That's you!
09:36Bea?
09:38Oh, Beatrice.
09:41Oh, my darling.
09:53That's beautiful.
09:55Goodbye, sweetheart.
09:59Why are you running away from me?
10:03Bea?
10:04Where are you running off to?
10:08I want to crown you.
10:11I want to crown you.
10:12Come.
10:17Good luck with me, mummy.
10:19Beatrice!
10:20Bea?
10:22Beatrice?
10:24Perhaps.
10:26Perhaps we should sit down for a moment, mother.
10:30All right.
10:30Let's take a seat.
10:43She is absolutely exhausted.
10:45Will you like fire?
10:46She needs warmth, rest, and food.
10:48Yes, Sherlock.
10:49Where is your father in all of this?
10:51This should not be on your shoulders.
10:53He's in Vienna.
10:54He's a busy man.
10:55It's all right.
10:56I'm here, and I'm dealing with this.
10:59What?
11:00We're breaking her over the asylum.
11:03They were recording her in there, James.
11:05They were listening to every single word she said.
11:07I had no choice, and Shuan knew about it.
11:09There's a man with a bird's claw.
11:10He's coming back for me.
11:13How did she know?
11:17Sherlock.
11:20Mother!
11:27Mother!
11:29Mother!
11:43Mother!
11:48Hora!!!
11:51No-no-no! No-no-no, darling! I have to find her!
11:55She's not seen him! She's not seen him!
11:58No, she's gone! She's taking me!
12:00I need to break her!!!
12:02Come on, my daughter!
12:14Let's get you warm and dry.
12:20Stop right there.
12:21You are not taking her past our homes.
12:24Crowell.
12:26I do apologize.
12:27I heard the commotion.
12:28Yes.
12:29Mrs. Holmes.
12:31Mr. Crowell, it's so delightful to see you.
12:34You too, Mrs. Holmes.
12:35We weren't expecting you.
12:36We would have had the house ready.
12:38Tell me, does Dr. Maltby still live in the village?
12:41He does, yes.
12:42Would you fetch him, please?
12:42How is Mrs. Crowell?
12:44Oh, she's well, thank you.
12:45Right away, please, Crowell.
12:46I rather need his help.
12:47Yeah, of course.
12:54For your head.
13:01What?
13:02What trouble is she's worth?
13:03The electric shock has clearly fried your faculties, Philbot.
13:08No Cordelia Holmes, no money.
13:11I rather like money.
13:15Do you follow?
13:20Find her.
13:22And quickly.
13:25As you wish.
13:28Sir.
13:35Razor talons, sharp as knives, so vivid.
13:43Sweetheart, there is nothing you can do.
13:46He is coming back for me, the man with the bird's claw.
13:49Who is it, you're talking about?
13:50Mrs. Holmes.
13:53Right, stand back, please.
13:54Let's, um, not grab a patient.
13:57Aha.
13:59Hello, Cordelia.
14:01I'll tell you how pleased I am to see you again, even in such circumstances.
14:05But don't you worry, we're going to get you writer's reign.
14:08Do you know what she was prescribed, dear Simon?
14:11Alkaloids, I believe.
14:13Ah, right, yes.
14:13Well, she's obviously suffering from withdrawals.
14:16Perhaps I could give you something else, something to clear the fog a little.
14:19It's all right, Mother.
14:20He's not like the others.
14:21He's here to help you.
14:22Right, Cordelia.
14:24I want you to take two of these with some water, please.
14:30Here we go.
14:31Down the hatch.
14:37Your mother's in trouble, Sherlock.
14:39She'll get better.
14:40Yes, I believe that she will, but that's not what I'm referring to.
14:43Joanne knows about those recordings.
14:45Now, we don't know whether she's responsible for them,
14:46but either way, this does connect your mother to the murders in Oxford.
14:50So how can we say that she's safe here?
14:54We can't.
14:55The man with the bird's claw.
14:56You have no idea what she means.
15:01My mind is blank.
15:04Well, then maybe it's not a person.
15:06Bird's claw, it's a phrase or a place or a thing.
15:17Perhaps it's some sort of crest, the bird's claw.
15:20Good, good.
15:21So whose crest?
15:23Someone at the asylum?
15:25Or someone at Oxford.
15:30Sherlock?
15:33I've got nothing.
15:36Perhaps I was wrong.
15:37Words I never thought I'd hear you say.
15:39No, perhaps I was wrong about the crest.
15:41Perhaps it's some other sort of symbol.
15:42The answers to many of life's problems lie at the bottom of the glass.
15:52The best thing in nature for drowning your sorrows
16:11God knows I wonder if lightning and thunder were made from the mother of whiskey.
16:31I've seen it somewhere I've seen it.
16:33Where am I seeing it?
16:37Oh!
16:45it's professor malik well go on professor malik has a cane yes and his cane yes has a bird's claw
16:55all right bravo so if i am correct if it is malik what's his business with my mother what's his
17:03why what's his incentive well chuan knows about those recordings so perhaps she can answer that
17:08so perhaps you need to ask her i took the liberty of rustling a little something up master holmes
17:16i thought you'd be hungry after the night you've had yes thank you mrs crow that's very very thoughtful
17:22but we need to pop into town for a few hours so i'll need you to look after my mother
17:25she'll want
17:26for nothing master holmes there's ammunition in my father's study don't let anyone in
17:33to this house understood and if you need to send word you can reach us at oxford police station
17:41james a man can't think on an empty stomach thank you mrs crowley thank you mrs crowley
17:51stolen or road it's lovely from the asylum i'm starting to appreciate your thieving ways
17:58sherlock get on it's about clay from a pocket watch
18:08would you stop creeping up on me well what is it
18:17you did what she is at home and she is safe mrs crowley is looking after her they were recording
18:22her my croft i don't know what you expected me to do how about not breaking her out of the
18:27asylum
18:27for starters how about going one single day without breaking the law sounds a very disappointing life
18:33can't imagine what father's gonna say i would imagine he'd be pleased that one of us showing
18:37some initiative we should wire him he could sort this out are you quite well have you fallen down
18:41and bumped your head on something hard professor malik was at the asylum he must have been the one
18:46recording her mother gave me a description of him of his cane the man with the bird's claw you were
18:51there my crook she rambles there's always an outside chance she's gonna accidentally say
18:55something half plausible apis melephora no no no the honeybees yes yes i know about the honeybees
19:00the honeybees yes i know about the honeybees i don't
19:09when we were little we had a hive apis melephora i watched the bees and i told my croft that
19:15i'd seen
19:15them dancing and you called me foolish witless was the word i used i then went and checked with father
19:20and he said that honeybees do a little circling dance to communicate with each other it's called
19:24the tarantella and you called me a half-wit witless was the word he used well i wasn't witless because
19:31i was right glad you're not holding on to a grudge there sherlock this is the honeybees all over again
19:36mycroft just because something appears to be random it doesn't mean that it is mother said that they were
19:41listening to her they were she's mentioned the man with the bird's claw professor malik has a cane with a
19:47bird's claw but it's not exactly case closed is it tell me where is professor malik now
19:58well we are not exactly sure he seems to have vanished after last night's events
20:03why would he vanish if shuan is in a cell if the threat is gone
20:11then why would he vanish
20:2110 minutes with shuan
20:25no nine minutes
20:33sherlock mr pattern what are you in for this time i'm just visiting today
20:39remember prison is in here he's very i don't know my craft what's the word
20:48bothersome vexatious
20:49vexatious
20:51unbearable
20:52i could empty the dictionary
20:53oh no no no i was thinking he's very
20:56intense
21:00what was he like as a small boy
21:03well
21:05growing up in the same house
21:09yes i can only imagine
21:15no actually i can't
21:18tell me
21:19put it this way
21:21i took a job in the foreign office in pursuit of an easier life
21:25wars
21:26famine
21:27that sort of thing
21:32i wondered when you and i would be seeing each other again
21:34i must admit
21:36life has become somewhat tepid
21:38without you
21:39you mind if i sit
21:40please
21:41take the royal throne
21:45thank you
21:47princess
21:52what game are we playing today
21:53what game would you like to play
21:55i'll let you decide
21:56how very kind
21:57why don't we start by you telling me how my mother is involved
22:00ah
22:01english boys and their mothers
22:03very touching
22:04how did you know what she said to me in the asylum
22:06first principles
22:07the likeliest explanation is always the simplest
22:10the likeliest explanation would be that you heard her say it
22:15the recordings
22:18you had access to them
22:19oh lightning fast
22:23professor malik
22:25is there a question there
22:26why did he visit my mother
22:28how do you know it was him
22:29the man with the bird's claw
22:30clearly a reference to his walking cane
22:34that was malik
22:38there's a place where i met my handler
22:39a safe house
22:41and his people are wearing all the time
22:45there's a man with the bird's claw
22:49this safe house
22:51do you think it's possible malik is still there
22:53imagine if we combined our talents
22:57you want malik
22:58i want him too
23:00for very different reasons
23:03i want to find out why he was recording my mother
23:06you on the other hand
23:09want to kill him
23:11then let's help each other
23:14the final act we can debate later
23:20where is this safe house
23:24you are going to have to give up something
23:27i very much doubt
23:28hodge is going to let you out of here
23:30until you do
23:31but that is preposterous
23:34slanderous
23:34professor malik works for me
23:35why on earth would he be at this
23:37this
23:37safe house
23:38safe house
23:39there was nothing in malik's file
23:40to suggest any nefarious activity
23:43all i know is what i saw
23:44should have hanged you this morning
23:45get her out of here
23:46hold on
23:49i didn't see him at the gala
23:50who
23:52professor malik
23:53when i came through the wall
23:55at the gala
23:55i didn't see him
23:56all of the other professors were there
23:57at the table except him
24:02he left
24:03her majesty's empire
24:11don't take the empire for granted
24:15we may live to regret it
24:17sharing your speech sir
24:19i thought it odd at the time
24:20why would anyone leave my speech
24:23assume the poor fellow had bladder issues
24:25were you given an exact time to carry out the explosion
24:27eight o'clock
24:28my instructions were quite explicit on that point
24:31unless malik had a conveniently life-saving desire to urinate
24:35i think it fair to say he knew the bomb would go off at it
24:38if he is in this safe house sir
24:40and if he is indeed working against your interests
24:43wouldn't you rather know
24:46let's go constable

36:33Lawson Jaggers.
36:35Solicitor, for Alba Lane.
36:38And you are?
36:39Sherlock Holmes.
36:41Holmes?
36:42We have a wire for you.
36:46Sherlock?
36:51It's dark enough!
36:56Wait, Sherlock!
37:01Sherlock!
37:03Sherlock!
37:03Sherlock!
37:04Sherlock!
37:05Sherlock!
37:08Sherlock!
37:09She requires help.
37:10She needs to be somewhere she can be cared for.
37:12I'm so sorry Sherlock.
37:13I was only gone for a moment.
37:14You do worry, Carl.
37:15They won't be taking her anywhere.
37:15I believe you'll find I have jurisdiction over her.
37:19I believe you'll find I have jurisdiction over this.
37:29Is the double barrel 12-bore hammer gone not persuasive enough for you?
37:34Let her go.
37:37We're only acting in her best interests.
37:41You knew, didn't you?
37:43You knew about the recordings, about Professor Malik.
37:47Why did he do it?
37:48You'll have to ask him.
37:50I was merely paid to look the other way.
37:54I am so sorry, Mother.
37:56I am so sorry, Sherlock.
37:59Can I respectfully suggest that you'll fuck off?
38:22You're quite sure this is the place?
38:24Quite sure, sir.
38:33Mr. Strahd, I wanted on the record that I was the one who blew this case wide open.
38:37Yes, of course, sir.
38:40I think I saw movement by the church, sir.
38:50I wish to be the one to apprehend him.
38:52Very good, sir.
39:13I wish to be the one to apprehend.
39:14I wish to be the one to one.
39:16I do think he was loved.
39:16I am so sorry.
39:16I'm sorry, shall we go with the other castle.
39:16I got my kids, sir.
39:16I'm sorry, sir.
39:26Help me.
39:26But I can't do any of the structures.
39:42The deity Persephalus, Kishore Malik.
39:47Oh, it's true. My very own personal Judas.
39:50There is nothing that can't be sacrificed in the pursuit of science.
39:54Knowledge is the wing wherewith we fly to hell.
39:57Don't quote the bard at me, sir.
39:59Don't dress up your grubby greed in noble sentiment.
40:01You were going to sell my project to the highest bidder.
40:04What was it? I wasn't paying you enough?
40:07Greed.
40:08Very simple.
40:09As if you stand for anything else.
40:10I stand for queen and country, sir.
40:13To be an Englishman is to win the lottery of life,
40:15something I remind myself of each and every day.
40:17Can I help it if I stand to make the odd penny from my tireless dedication to the court?
40:21I did not betray you, sir, for money.
40:23I betrayed you because what I discovered could change the world entirely.
40:28And I couldn't bear to see you take credit for my discoveries.
40:32For history to forget me.
40:34Nobody will, sir.
40:35No, I will go down as the man who built the empire.
40:36You, on the other hand, will be forgotten even by your own mother.
40:42Oh, just one request before I bid you adieu.
40:47I mean, if you'd be so accommodating.
40:48Who did you betray me for?
40:50The Russians and Ottomans.
40:54Take your hand out of your pocket, man.
41:03Why is he getting behind him?
41:05What do I do?
41:06Porridge.
41:08Porridge!
41:13Roy!
41:14Man out!
41:15Relacona gone far!
41:17On the road!
41:18Man out!
41:20Is he being shot?
41:23there's no blood
41:26there's no bullet hole
41:27nothing
41:33he's not breathing
41:38he's dead
41:45guns and hot toddies
