00:27Satsang with Mooji
00:48You're a pretty lucky you didn't get here.
00:51You're a pretty lucky you didn't get here.
00:52Why don't you get that little out of it?
00:54I ain't gonna pay for it.
00:56You're gonna give me the money that they're gonna give me.
00:59And you're gonna get your equipment.
01:07Get out of it.
01:08Come on, man.
01:12Come on, man.
01:14Come on, man.
01:22Come on, man.
01:32Come on, man.
01:40Come on, man.
01:42Come on, man.
01:47Come on, man.
01:48Come on, man.
01:49Come on, man.
01:50Come on, man.
01:50Come on, man.
01:51Come on, man.
01:51Come on, man.
01:51Come on, man.
01:52Come on, man.
01:53Come on, man.
01:55Let your prick back down!
08:46Oh, but he does have his faults.
08:49And I never was there such a fellow for photography,
08:51always snapping away with his camera
08:53when he should be improving his mind
08:55and then diving down into the cellar
08:57to develop the wretched thing.
08:59Still, on the whole, he's a good worker
09:01and no vice in him.
09:02It was he who first showed me the advertisement.
09:18I wish to the Lord I was a red-headed man, Mr. Wilson.
09:21Why's that?
09:23Well, there's another vacancy in the League of Reddited Men.
09:27I've never heard of it.
09:30Well, I'd wonder at that.
09:32You being so eligible yourself.
09:36Nice money, too.
09:38A couple of hundred a year and the work's slight.
09:46Oh, there'd be thousands of red-headed men apply.
09:49Oh, well, I doubt that, sir.
09:51What, not with such a fine, fiery colour
09:53as you are blessed with, Mr. Wilson?
09:57But then I suppose it's hardly worth your while
10:00to put yourself out of the way
10:01for the sake of a few hundred pounds.
10:05Yes, sir.
10:10Well, I'm very much of a stay-at-home sort of person.
10:13Sometimes weeks on end without putting my foot over the doormat.
10:18But this, it looked interesting.
10:21I was intrigued.
10:23And young Vincent said he'd come with me.
10:26So, er, on Monday morning we shut up the shop
10:29and, er, off we win.
10:35Now, Vincent, let's go back.
10:36I can't obey the courage, Mr. Wilson.
10:39We're so near and so much at stake.
10:41Now, you pull your colour out.
10:43Hello, Jerry.
10:43Come along with me.
10:44What's your job all about, then?
10:45I've wasted time, isn't it, mate?
10:46I wasn't in there for two minutes.
10:47I'm just kidding.
10:57Come on.
10:58See you in the club this morning, mate?
11:01Oi!
11:02Oi!
11:02Oi!
11:03A little less noise, please, gentlemen.
11:07Hey, Governor, playing a light, man.
11:09Here.
11:09Here!
11:10What's all going?
11:11Hey!
11:12Get out of it!
11:13Hey! Get out!
11:16Excuse us!
11:27It's all right. Off you go. You're next. Get in.
11:30Oi! Where are you going? Straight this way out. Come on.
11:34This is Mr Wilson. Right. In you go, Mr Wilson.
11:36Good night, sir.
11:43Get back!
11:50Admirably suited.
11:55Every requirement.
12:00Very fine.
12:04Congratulations, Mr Wilson.
12:07It would be injustice to hesitate.
12:10You will, I'm sure, excuse me if I take an obvious precaution.
12:17Tears in your eyes.
12:19I perceive all this as it should be.
12:22We have to be careful.
12:24Twice deceived by wigs.
12:26Once by paint.
12:28I can tell you tales of cobbler's wax
12:30that would disgust you with human nature.
12:36My name is Duncan Ross.
12:38I am myself a pensioner upon the fun left by a noble benefactor.
12:42Ah!
12:43I see you're about to question me about Mr Ethic Geyer Hopkins.
12:50He was himself red-headed.
12:53In his youth he left London for America, where he made many millions of dollars.
12:58On his death it was found, he had instructed the trustees in his will to...
13:05make life a little easier for the red-headed men in the time of his birth.
13:12Wonderful colouring.
13:14Now, what's your full name, Mr Wilson?
13:17Jabez Wilson.
13:20Jabez Wilson.
13:21And, er, are you a married man now, Mr Wilson?
13:24Do you have a family?
13:26No, I'm a widower.
13:27No, I never had any family.
13:31Oh dear.
13:34I'm sad to hear you say that.
13:36The fund, of course, is for the propagation and spread of red-headed men,
13:40as well as for their maintenance.
13:45In another case, the objection might be fatal.
13:50However, I think we've got to stretch a point in favour of a man with such a head of hair
13:54as yours.
14:04The vacancy's been filled.
14:06The vacancy's been filled!
14:12The vacancy is filled!
14:15All right, off you go!
14:18All right, sorry about that.
14:20Off you go!
14:40Now, when would you be free to start upon your new duties?
14:45Oh, well, it is rather awkward, as I do have a business already.
14:48What would be the hours?
14:50Ten till two.
14:51Well, the mornings are quiet, and I do have an assistant.
14:55Yes, that would suit me very well.
14:57And the money mentioned, four pounds a week.
15:00Correct.
15:01And the work?
15:02Purely nominal.
15:04Yes, well, what do you call purely nominal?
15:07Well, you have to stay in the office, or at least in the building, the whole time.
15:11If you leave, you forfeit your whole position forever.
15:14The will is quite clear in that point.
15:16Oh, I shouldn't dream of leaving.
15:18No excuse will avail neither sickness, business, nor anything else.
15:21Here you will remain.
15:23Or else lose your ability.
15:26Oh, now, I am quite clear on that point.
15:28But what exactly is the work?
15:31It is to copy out the Encyclopedia Britannica.
15:37There is the first volume.
15:39You will supply the ink, paper, and pen.
15:41We will supply this desk and chair.
15:44Now, would you be free to start next Monday morning?
15:49Oh, yes, certainly.
15:52Then, once again, my congratulations, Mr. Chappies Wilson,
15:57on the most important position you've been fortunate enough to get.
16:07Wonderful head of hair.
16:10Goodbye, Mr. Wilson.
16:14Well done, Mr. Wilson.
16:16Well done indeed.
16:17This is the quickest way out, sir.
16:19Oh, this way.
16:22Congratulations.
16:29When I got home, the whole thing seemed, on reflection, to be quite ridiculous.
16:34Quite.
16:35Who would make such an extraordinary will?
16:37Not a very generous millionaire to make you buy your own pen, ink, and paper.
16:43Well, exactly, Mr. Holmes.
16:45I soon persuaded myself it was some great hoax or fraud.
16:50Then, when Monday morning came along, it did seem stupid to turn down a good job.
16:56So, um, off I went and bought a penny bottle of ink and a pen,
17:01and seven sheets of foolscap paper, and, uh, I set off for Pope's court.
17:25Good morning, Mr. Wilson, and welcome on this show.
17:30Well, to my surprise and delight, everything was as right as possible.
17:35The table was set out ready for me, and Mr. Duncan Ross was there to see I got fairly to
17:41work.
17:43My employment had truly begun.
17:46The schedule never varied.
17:49My work started at ten o'clock and ended at two o'clock,
17:53with a small break for my lunch at half past twelve.
17:57Every Saturday at two o'clock,
17:59Mr. Ross would come in and give me my money,
18:03compliment me upon the amount that I'd written,
18:05and then we'd both leave.
18:07Mr. Ross, locking the door after me.
18:10Artichokes, I find, were simply fascinating, you know.
18:13Yes.
18:13They had a kind of, uh, bloom on them.
18:15But, uh, Hannibal, I've also thought was A, but he was H, after all.
18:20I thought that was very interesting.
18:34Yes, yes.
18:56I heard about the letter A, and I was hoping with diligence to get on to B,
19:00when suddenly this morning the whole business came to an end.
19:03I went to my work as usual, but the door was shut and locked
19:06with a little square of cardboard hammered onto the middle panel.
19:14Oh, excuse me.
19:17Have you seen Mr. Duncan Ross this morning?
19:21Ross? Ross.
19:23Never heard of a gentleman of that name, sir.
19:25My memory's good. It's very good. It's infallible for names.
19:28No, the gentleman at number seven.
19:30Ah, the gentleman who is red-headed.
19:32Yes. Ah, yes, yes, yes. Gone.
19:35Gone?
19:36Mr. William Morris, a solicitor using my room as a temporary convenience
19:40until his new premises were ready.
19:41Moved out yesterday. Paid him full. Doesn't owe a penny.
19:43William Morris? Where can I find him?
19:46At his new offices.
19:49William Morris and what?
19:5417 King Edward Street.
19:57Near St. Paul's.
19:58Oh, thank you.
20:29Hi, we'll see you soon, guys.
20:29We'll see you soon.
20:51I don't see there's anything very funny about it.
20:53Who?
20:55If all you can do is laugh at me, well, I can go elsewhere.
20:57No, Mr. Wilson, please, please, sit down.
21:01I wouldn't miss this case for the world.
21:05It is most refreshingly unusual.
21:11I was so incensed at the fraudulent deceit that I came straight to you, sir.
21:16Having heard of your great reputation for helping poor people in distress.
21:21Oh, Mr. Wilson, forgive me.
21:25You know, Mr. Wilson, I really don't think that you've got any great grievance against this extraordinary league.
21:32On the contrary, you've been very well paid to say nothing of the detailed knowledge which you've acquired on every
21:38subject under the letter A.
21:41Yes, but what's the object of them playing this prank on me?
21:45That's what I want to know.
21:49This assistant of yours, how long has he been with you?
21:54Well, about three months.
21:56How did he come?
21:57Well, the answer to an advertisement.
21:58Was he the only applicant?
22:00No, I had 12 others.
22:03Why did you pick him?
22:04Well, he was handy and would come cheap.
22:09At half wages, in fact.
22:12Yes.
22:20What's he like?
22:22This Vincent Spaulding.
22:24Hmm?
22:25Oh, well, he's tall.
22:29Slightly built.
22:31He's very quick in his ways.
22:34He's got now hair on his face.
22:38He's got a white splash of acid on his forehead.
22:46Have you ever observed whether his ears have been pierced for earrings?
22:52Yes!
22:53Yeah, he told me a gypsy had done it for him when he was a lad.
22:56He is still with you?
22:57Yes.
22:58Yeah, I would have just left him.
23:00Stubbles.
23:02You will be at your shop if I should need you.
23:05Well, I had thought of shutting up shop at dinner time today because Vincent had suggested
23:09I spend the rest of the weekend with my sister embarking.
23:12This whole business has upset my nerves very much.
23:17Well, you enjoy a restful weekend embarking.
23:20Today's Saturday.
23:21By Monday we should have a conclusion for you.
23:25In the matter of your fee...
23:27Don't worry about that.
23:29I believe it will be paid for by another.
23:36Good day to you, Mr. Wilson.
23:45What do you make of it all, Watson?
23:47I make nothing of it.
23:49It's a most mysterious business.
23:52Yet there are graver issues
23:55hanging from this affair than at first sight appear.
24:04What are you going to do?
24:06To smoke.
24:08It is quite a three-pipe problem.
24:12And I beg that you won't speak to me for 50 minutes.
24:40The business of the Red-Headed League is concluded, sir.
24:45Satisfactorily, I trust?
24:46Most satisfactorily, Professor.
24:49I'm pleased to report.
24:51Good.
24:57Good.
25:10Good.
25:11Good.
25:13Good.
25:14Good.
25:15Good.
25:16Good.
25:17Good.
25:18Good.
25:19Good.
25:19Good.
25:20Good.
25:20Good.
25:20Good.
25:21Good.
25:22Good.
25:23Good.
25:23Good.
25:23Good.
25:24Good.
25:25Good.
25:26Good.
25:28Come, Watson.
25:45Excuse me, can you turn me the way to the stand?
25:51Third right, fourth left.
26:00Holmes, Holmes, I could have told you that.
26:02No doubt, Watson.
26:04What is it?
26:08And why did you beat the pavement with your stick?
26:11Watson, we are spies in an enemy's territory.
26:14All right.
26:44It's a hobby of mine to have an exact knowledge of London now.
26:47Well, there is Mortimer's, the tobacconist, the little newspaper shop, Coburg branch, the
26:53city and suburban bank, McFarlane's carriage building depot, and the vegetarian restaurant
26:58around the corner, Watson, fill it to memory.
27:02It is just possible that we're being observed.
27:19There are considerable crimes in contemplation.
27:24Today, being Saturday, somewhat complicates matters.
27:28But now, Doctor, our work is done.
27:33It is time we had some play.
27:35Sarasati is playing at the St. James's Hall this afternoon.
27:38A sandwich and a cup of coffee?
27:39And then off to violin land, with all his sweetness, delicacy and harmony.
27:44And no redheaded clients to vex us with their conundrums.
27:50A-head!
28:13All the afternoon, he sat in the stalls wrapped in the most perfect happiness, while his gently
28:21smiling face and his languid, dreamy eyes were as unlike those of Holmes the sleuth-hound
28:28as it was possible to conceive.
28:35When I saw him, so enwrapped in the music, I felt that an evil time might be coming upon
28:43those whom he had set himself to hunt down.
29:06And, that was the one.
29:06Oh, thank you.
29:35Oh, excellent.
29:37Excellent, Watson.
29:39You have a future as a cartographer.
29:41Oh, that'll be Thelney Jones.
29:43I thought it was as well to have someone from Scotland Yard.
29:46He's an absolute imbecile at his profession,
29:48but he does have the tenacity of a lobster
29:50when he gets his claws into someone.
29:54Good evening, Jones.
29:55So, we're working in couples again, Mr. Holmes.
29:57Our friend here is a wonderful man for starting the chase.
30:00All he needs is an old dog to help him do the running down.
30:03Mr. Merriweather, my friend and colleague, Dr. Watson.
30:06How do you do, sir?
30:07Only hope a wild goose may not prove to be the end of our chase.
30:11I'm not personally in favor of amateur criminal investigators.
30:14You may place considerable confidence in Mr. Holmes.
30:17No, if you say so, Mr. Jones.
30:19Well, he has his own little methods,
30:21which, if he won't mind me saying so,
30:23are a little theoretical and fantastic,
30:25but he has the makings of a detective in him.
30:27Ah!
30:28But I do say, as I've said before,
30:30the Coburg branch of the bank is as well-secured as any building in London.
30:34There is no possibility that he could be broken into.
30:37Even insurance assessors agree on that point.
30:39And you, sir, should know,
30:40being not only the resident manager, but also the director.
30:43I should know, and I do know.
30:45And what is more, this is the first time for seven and twenty years
30:48that I've missed my Saturday night of whist at my club.
30:50Oh, dear.
30:51And I find myself extremely inconvenienced.
30:53I think that you will find the game tonight much more exciting,
30:57and the stake will be for many, many thousands of pounds.
31:03And what will my reward be, Mr. Holmes?
31:07A young man called Clay.
31:10John Clay?
31:12Oh, how I'd like to get my hands on that devil.
31:15You shall.
31:16This young fellow's a gentleman, as Mr. Holmes says,
31:18but he's turned against his class.
31:20He's as cunning as the devil, slippery as an eel,
31:22and he's turned crib-cracking and forgery into a fine art.
31:25His grandfather was a royal duke,
31:29and he himself was educated at Eton and Oxford.
31:32So, Watson, bring the gun.
31:36Come, gentlemen, our cab is below.
32:47So, let's go.
33:17So, let's go.
33:21There are only two keys to the vault.
33:26I have one.
33:27The chairman holds the other in the personal safe.
33:39There are only two keys to the vault.
33:42No, from below.
33:44Mr. Merriman, may I ask you to be a little more quiet?
33:46There are only two keys to the vault.
34:34There is no way in which a thief could break into this bank.
34:52Is it a special reason why he should want to break into this bank?
34:58Uh, nothing particularly, uh...
35:01Something in the past few months.
35:04Something that you have concealed from her.
35:08The information I have is confidential, known only to the directors of the bank.
35:12It is not to be divulged to members of the public.
35:15Not even amateur detectives.
35:19Private consulting detective, Mr. Merriweather.
35:23Unique in the annals of crime, I believe.
35:26Isn't that so, Inspector?
35:26Yes, Doctor.
35:28I advise you to cooperate with Mr. Holmes.
35:32Especially as, at this moment, I am trying to save your skin
35:36and that of your fellow directors.
35:39So, what is it?
35:43Our French gold.
35:45We had occasion some months ago to strengthen our resources
35:48and borrowed for that purpose 60,000 napoleons from the Bank of France.
35:53Therefore, our reserve of bullion is much larger than is usual
35:57in such a branch of the bank.
36:02Where is this gold?
36:05The crates upon which Dr. Watson sits
36:10contain 30,000 napoleons
36:12wrapped between layers of lead foil.
36:19May we see it.
36:39What does it mean at Walmart yes?
36:41You know we won't have a soul of it.
36:54to give people theестиよろしく
36:54For all the great jaguars to retain their knowledge
36:57four crawling there's a big radius,
36:58not to advise of yourself or rather.
36:58You have to use the control of that.
36:59I'll take the channel.
37:00But you have to do not accept these in such a thing
37:02and trade buddies?
43:37It's no good, John Clay.
43:40You have no chance at all.
43:51I see.
43:53Though I fancy my pal is all right.
43:57At this moment he is running into the welcoming arms of the police.
44:02You seem to have done the thing very completely.
44:05I must compliment you.
44:06And I you.
44:08I'm Sherlock Holmes, a private investigator.
44:11I didn't for a moment suspect you of being a policeman, Mr. Holmes.
44:16Come on.
44:17Hold out.
44:17We'll off at the Derby's.
44:18I beg you to take your filthy hands off me.
44:20You may not be aware that I have royal blood in my veins.
44:24And be so kind as to say sir and please when you address me.
44:28All right.
44:29Would you please, sir, mind marching upstairs where we'll get a cab to transport your highness
44:34to the police station?
44:36That's better.
44:45Gentlemen.
44:51Oh, one question, Mr. Clay.
44:54Am I right in thinking that Professor Moriarty was somewhere behind the idea of the red-headed league?
45:04I suggest you keep that name off your lips, Mr. Holmes.
45:07If you value your future well-being.
45:15Really, gentlemen, I don't know what to say.
45:18Please forgive me, Mr. Holmes, for ever doubting your outstanding or brilliant qualities.
45:22There is no doubt you have detected and defeated in the most complete manner
45:25one of the boldest attempts at bank robbery that has ever come within my experience.
45:29Mr. Meriwether, I have been at some small expense over this matter.
45:32I shall expect the bank to refund.
45:36Of course.
45:38Of course.
45:41Of course.
45:45Mr. Meriwether.
46:01Mr. Meriwether.
46:02Mr. Meriwether, I need to take out the сообщ
46:06for you, Mr. Meriwether.
46:07Mr. Meriwether.
46:07Mr. Meriwether.
46:10Mr. Meriwether.
46:35It won't do, you know.
46:38It won't do.
46:41No, Professor.
46:44I'm sorry we failed you.
46:49Sherlock Holmes...
46:50Holmes is a mere amateur in the field of detection.
46:58Still, he seems a clever man.
47:02Or a lucky one.
47:05And he has a positive talent for getting in my way.
47:10Should he be removed?
47:13That may have been necessary.
47:16It would be disappointing.
47:19I find him interesting.
47:22I believe this is the third time he has incommoded me.
47:28If this continues, then certainly something will have to be done to encourage Mr. Holmes either to withdraw or stand
47:37clear.
48:19I beg your pardon, Dr. Watson.
48:22This has all been too much for me.
48:25My clients respect me as a man of confidence.
48:28But where's the confidence left here? I'm utterly ruined.
48:32Oh, cheer up, Mr. Wilson. You feel better when you've cleared up the mess.
48:35Well, that's all very well.
48:37And Mr. Holmes asked me to give you this.
48:41Fifty sovereigns with the compliments of the city and suburban banks.
48:45Well, that's fair enough.
48:48Oh, Dr. Watson, this is more than acceptable.
48:52Emma compliments to Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
48:55And he sends the same to you, Mr. Wilson.
48:57And a word of advice.
48:58Next time you engage an assistant, pay him the proper wage.
49:04Good day to you.
49:23Oh.
49:26Holmes, I trust I am not more dense than my neighbours,
49:29and yet here I have seen what you have seen, heard what you have heard,
49:32and yet you have seen clearly not only what had happened, but what was about to happen,
49:37while to me the whole business was still confused and grotesque.
49:40Is the Watson recollect?
49:43When I heard that the assistant had come for half wages,
49:47it was obvious that he had some motive for securing the situation.
49:51Yes, but how did you know what his motive was?
49:54Had there been a woman in the house, I would have suspected immediately some vulgar intrigue.
49:59But when I heard from Mr. Wilson about the acid stain and the pierced ears,
50:03I knew that Vincent Spaulding and John Clay were the same person.
50:07But why was Clay there?
50:10The photography gave you the clue.
50:12Exactly.
50:13The cellar.
50:14He was working on something in the cellar.
50:17Something which took many hours a day.
50:20For two months on end, he was tunnelling.
50:23But where to?
50:25When I tapped my stick on the pavement in the street that day,
50:29I was ascertaining whether the tunnel stretched in front or behind the building.
50:34It was in front.
50:36Towards the bank.
50:38Could you tell me the way to the Strand from here?
50:41I recognised Clay immediately and delayed him to have time to examine his knees.
50:48They spoke clearly of many hours of tunnelling,
50:52no doubt linking up with the maze of sewers beneath Saxe-Coburg Square.
50:56When they closed the red-headed league offices,
50:58it was a sign they no longer cared about Jabez Wilson's presence.
51:02In other words, the tunnel was complete.
51:04And that they would make the attempt on the Saturday was just a guess.
51:10Wilson, you disappoint me.
51:12I never guess.
51:15Saturday is an excellent night for stealing bullion.
51:18It gives you a full day to escape.
51:27Oh, you've reasoned it out beautifully, Holmes.
51:29It's so long a chain, and yet every link rings true.
51:32It saved me from our new way.
51:34You know, sometimes I think that my whole life is spent in one long effort
51:39to escape from the commonplaces of existence.
51:42No, no.
51:43You are a benefactor of the race, Holmes.
51:48Well, maybe it is of some little use after all.
51:51Ah.
51:52L'homme, c'est rien.
51:54L'oeuvre, c'est tout.
51:56As Gustave Robert wrote to George Sand.
51:59Hmm?
52:01Jei Christian.
52:02Oh, my God.
52:07Oh, my God.
