17:12Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Holmes is not receiving today and I advise you to write him rather than attempt to
17:20gain entrance without invitation. Good day.
17:54Where the hell have you been? Come in quick. We're almost out of time.
18:07I thought the agency wouldn't send anyone else. Put your bag down. Do you have your uniform? No.
18:21We could have fit two of you into the last one's gear. It'll have to do till Mrs. finds you
18:26better. Pull it over your head.
18:27Okay.
18:34Marie. Mrs. Mrs. Amelia.
18:40I don't care for the Queen of Sheba girl. If you ain't on time tomorrow, it's out the door you
18:45go like the three girls who came before you. Do I make myself clear?
18:48Yes, ma'am.
18:49We're short handed. So you'll be expected to cook as well as clean.
18:53Okay.
18:54I beg your pardon?
18:56Yes, ma'am.
18:57Don't just stand there. He'll want to spoil English in 15 minutes.
19:04Some people cannot take no for an answer.
19:10The Mrs. isn't a bad sort really. Just don't let her down. Make the gentleman a good breakfast now.
19:33Wow.
19:35Come on.
19:43Enter.
19:47PLEASE.
19:49PLEASE.
19:56PLEASE.
20:12PLEASE.
20:31Get it while it's hot.
21:03The lid.
21:05I'm sorry.
21:12I should not like you to escape.
21:15May I ask who you are?
21:17Amelia.
21:18I'm Amelia Rojas.
21:20But you're not the new scullery maid, am I correct?
21:24No, that's not why I came here.
21:30Your voice identifies you as American from the West, based on your boots, fallen on hard
21:35times, given their former quality and current decrepitude.
21:39Newly arrived, judging by the scent of cheap pine and ship's wax as used in steerage, and
21:44from California.
21:45Your belt buckle is indicative of the jewelry metal work of the area.
21:55Elementary for Sherlock Holmes.
21:58You also have no experience whatsoever as a domestic, nor any culinary aptitude.
22:05Mr. Holmes, I can explain.
22:08My mother and I lived a long way from nowhere.
22:11At night, she would read stories from the paper about your cases.
22:16And she told me that if I ever needed help, I should find you.
22:22Well, I'm sorry.
22:24Not only can I not help you, these days I cannot even help myself.
22:31Is everything satisfactory, sir?
22:33No.
22:34No, Mrs. Halligan.
22:35Everything is not satisfactory.
22:38In future, kindly check the references of any employee before allowing them to poison
22:42me in my own study.
22:43Pay Miss Rojas one week's wages in advance.
22:45Terminate her employment forthwith and show her out.
22:48And take this, this.
22:49Look at this.
22:50Miserable excuse for a breakfast with you.
22:55My mother said you were a great man.
22:58She must have been mistaken.
23:01Sorry, Mr. Holmes.
23:03I told him you wasn't receiving, but the Chief Inspector insisted.
23:07I apologize for interrupting your breakfast, sir.
23:11Paul Anderson, newly appointed U.S. Ambassador to the Court of St. James.
23:15My wife, Marjorie.
23:18Mr. Holmes, we arrived yesterday.
23:20This morning we woke to find my daughter missing.
23:23You must help us.
23:24Clara is missing?
23:26How do you know the name of our daughter?
23:29I'll show you.
23:36Extraordinary.
23:37From what I know of these cases, Mr. Holmes, there's no time to lose.
23:40Will you please help us?
23:42I must attend Her Majesty the Queen at noon as incoming ambassador.
23:45We would like to tell Her Majesty that you are assisting us.
23:48May the ambassador do that.
23:50I was on the ship.
23:52I drew a picture of you two and gave it to Clara, but I kept my one of her for
23:55myself.
23:57You're the girl from the ship.
23:59The one Clara told us about.
24:01And look, here she is working for Mr. Holmes.
24:03It's a sign, Paul.
24:05An answered prayer.
24:07Very well.
24:08You may tell Her Majesty I will examine the crime scene.
24:13Bring your maid.
24:14She knows our Clara.
24:15She might be able to help.
24:40Do not touch anything, and definitely do not speak.
24:45Repeat my commands.
24:47But you just told me not to speak.
24:53Thank you for coming, Mr. Holmes.
24:55Can you offer a summary of events leading to the discovery young Clara had gone missing?
24:59We retired early, our first night ashore.
25:03A maid brought Clara Coco at nine.
25:06I returned in the morning to wake her just after 7 a.m.
25:12Clara wasn't in her room.
25:15I searched the house, the grounds, nothing.
25:21My wife and I were sleeping next door.
25:25Didn't hear anything.
25:26There was no demand for a ransom?
25:28Not yet.
25:32Please wait downstairs with your wife.
25:36Inspector Bolivar, gather the servants.
25:38I shall interview them presently.
25:50Bag.
26:07That's Clara's, all right.
26:10You appear to have the memory span of a goldfish.
26:13I said no speaking.
26:15Well, but I've seen Clara and you haven't.
26:17That's the right color and length for it.
26:19Listen and learn so that your long trip is not entirely wasted.
26:23And one day you may be able to tell your children that you've studied with the great Sherlock Holmes.
26:26Now, the first principle of deduction is that each possibility must be considered and eliminated, the last to remain, no
26:34matter how improbable is the truth.
26:36So you have read Watson's sentimental little stories.
26:39Well, a parrot may recite even Shakespeare.
26:42Not too many.
26:43This room has three exits.
26:45Door and windows.
26:49No.
26:50Clara's not the type of girl to go jumping out of windows.
26:55I see two candles.
26:57Yes.
26:58One left by the maid last night, burnt to the nub.
27:01The other is...
27:02Lived by whoever came for clerics.
27:04Whom?
27:05Whom ever?
27:07Can you identify your mysterious intruder?
27:10Well, there were constables guarding the grounds and there's no sign of forced entry.
27:18An insider.
27:20The cheap brass variety often employed by those below stairs, so your servant-kidnapper came in with a candle but
27:26left in darkness?
27:37Maybe he had his hands full.
27:42Don't touch!
27:48It's tobacco.
27:49Yes.
27:50From the fingers of the carrier.
27:52Watson once tested me blindfold and I was able to identify 17 tobaccos from smell alone.
28:00Now, this one I can't quite get.
28:02I can.
28:06Well, do not leave me in suspense.
28:08It's California's finest chowing tobacco.
28:11It has a disgustingly strong smell.
28:14And it reminds me of something, something...
28:16Something American.
28:21Lordenum.
28:23Clara was drugged and carried out unconscious.
28:40Mr. Holmes, are you all right?
28:42I've finished my examination and must leave.
28:45Well, we were just getting somewhere.
28:46There is no we.
28:48There is no we.
28:48You offered to help find their daughter.
28:50I said I would visit the crime scene and I have done so, for now we must withdraw.
28:54Well, like you said, there is no we.
28:56My mother didn't raise me to quit or to leave without saying goodbye.
28:59So, I'll apologize to them for you.
29:01As you like.
29:02Good day.
29:06Don't tell me I've been waiting on you.
29:09Where's Holmes?
29:10Is he still upstairs?
29:12No.
29:13Um, he had to rush out.
29:16What could possibly be more important than this kidnapping?
29:21It was in connection to a clue he found.
29:24And he left me behind to follow up with the servants.
29:27In that case, we have had no time to hire staff, but Cassie has been a cook with the American
29:33embassy for years.
29:35Impeccable references.
29:36The poor girl was right as nine pints when I brought her cocoa last night, I swear.
29:40No one is blaming you, Cassie.
29:44Was anyone with you when you made the cocoa?
29:47The coachman?
29:48He has a supper by the fire.
29:50The coach house is ever so draughty.
29:52And did you leave the room before taking the cocoa to Clara?
29:55Only to attend, Mrs Anderson.
29:57You rang for a hot water jar, ma'am.
29:59Indeed I did.
30:00The window in our room was carelessly left open, we were freezing.
30:04I was only gone for five minutes.
30:05And Charlie was there the whole time.
30:07Was he?
30:09How long has Charlie worked at the ambassador's house?
30:12Only recent.
30:13But he was our driver in America.
30:15We sent him over a month early to help get things ready for us.
30:19And he's a truly nice young man.
30:21But only one or two odd habits.
30:29Like chewing tobacco.
30:31Only in the coach house.
30:32I'll make him spit out the tobacco before coming inside.
30:36Could I speak to Charlie, please?
30:39Fetch him, Cassie.
30:40But don't say what it's about.
30:42Allow me.
30:47Miss...
30:47Rojas.
30:48Have you worked for Mr. Holmes long?
30:50I mean, were you on our ship, returning from some secret mission on his behalf?
30:55I'm sorry, I can't answer that question.
30:58I see.
30:59Well then, as a fellow American, let me be blunt.
31:03Chief Inspector Whitlock advised me not to hire Sherlock Holmes.
31:06He said in recent weeks that even Dr. Watson, who has been his friend for years, has abandoned him.
31:12And that your employer's work had become erratic, unsound.
31:16And not to frighten you, but the police also said that recently his maid was murdered.
31:23And he will do nothing to aid in the inquiries.
31:27If anyone in London can find Clara, I promise you it's Mr. Holmes.
31:33He will find your daughter.
31:35And he will not give up until he has.
31:39Charlie's gone.
31:40So is your carriage and horses.
31:42What?
32:04Here's your bag from upstairs.
32:07Is that all you have in the world?
32:09That's all I need.
32:11Your week's wages.
32:14At least take this.
32:16It's just bread and cheese.
32:18And a pickled onion.
32:20Thanks for your hospitality.
32:24Oh, and please let Mr. Holmes know that I solved his case.
32:28Perhaps you should tell Mr. Holmes yourself.
32:32Mr. and Mrs. Halligan, I will require nothing further this evening.
32:39So.
32:41Off with no farewell.
32:43You made it clear you didn't want me here.
32:45And you don't care anything about finding Clara.
32:48Of course I want to find the girl.
32:51What did you learn?
32:53Clara was kidnapped by Charles Holroyd, the ambassador's coachman.
32:57I saw him at the ship when he collected the Andersons.
33:00I remembered that he spat tobacco right in front of my feet.
33:04The same awful smell as was on the candle holder.
33:07And he's gone off with the ambassador's coach and horses.
33:10And according to Cassie, the cook, Charlie was the only one other than her who could have put laudanum in
33:17the cocoa, done when she took a hot water jar up to the Andersons' room because it was cold last
33:22night.
33:22And someone left the window open.
33:25Do you know where he is now, this Charlie, the coachman?
33:29Not yet.
33:30Hardly case closed then, is it?
33:33Besides, I still have questions.
33:35Such as?
33:38Such as?
33:40Who are you?
33:42You've studied my methods, you've infiltrated my home, you've ingratiated yourself with the ambassador's family.
33:47Who sent you?
33:48My mother.
33:49For what reason?
33:51Explain.
33:52That's what I came here to do.
33:54Then wait no longer.
33:57It was a few months ago.
34:01Mom, I was finishing drawing up a self-propelled float for an annual parade they have in Los Angeles.
34:09So she asked me to deliver her designs and collect her fee.
34:16Be careful in the city.
34:24Stop at the store and make sure they have plums on your way home.
34:28Did you perform these tasks?
34:30Yes.
34:31It took me three days.
34:33This trip already seems endless and I assume you returned.
34:43Mom, I'm home.
34:45I had to wait for your plums.
34:47The store wasn't open when I...
34:51When I first got there.
35:07My mother always told me that if anything should happen to her, that I should take this picture out of
35:13its frame and put it with her scrapbook.
35:16There was a note for me on the back.
35:20My darling Amelia.
35:23If you are reading this, then I am gone without telling you the truth about your father.
35:30I always said he was an explorer who died before you were born.
35:34This is the only lie I ever told you and I am sorry for it.
35:38Your true father is Sherlock Holmes.
35:46Go to London.
35:47Find him.
35:49Sherlock will help you now.
35:55No mother could ever be more proud of her daughter.
35:58I love you always, Mom.
36:03Her name was Lucia Rojas.
36:17Well, it probably goes without saying the name Lucia Rojas means absolutely nothing to me.
36:24That's not true.
36:28You're...
36:30You're my father.
36:33Unfortunately, you are not the first, nor in all probability the last, to make such a claim.
36:39You've never even been to California.
36:42Bye, Miss Rojas.
36:55Wait.
36:56Please.
37:00You never went to California.
37:03But Mama came here.
37:04To London.
37:07She...
37:07She performed in the Wild West show.
37:10And helped design its scenery.
37:14I have no idea what you expect this drawing to prove, but you can strike paternity from the list.
37:21If your mother did regale you with these stories, I'm sure she meant well.
37:24Perhaps she read some of the lurid accounts of my cases in the American penny dreadfuls and imagined a liaison.
37:31My mother was no dreamer.
37:33She sent me here to find you.
37:36She said that you would know what to do.
37:38But it appears that you no longer care about anything.
37:40What am I supposed to care about?
37:42About why my Mama was murdered?
37:45And who would do such a terrible thing?
37:47Miss Rojas, my condolences.
37:50I'm sure your mother was, in her way, a remarkable woman, and I hope much less troubled than you seem
37:56to be.
38:02The great Sherlock Holmes.
38:05I'll solve Mama's murder myself.
38:07And while I'm at it, I'll find Claire Anderson too.
38:12With or without you.
38:25Wait!
38:29Wait.
38:37To be clear, I do not believe for a minute you are my offspring.
38:46By putting that aside for the moment, I do find myself in need of an assistant.
38:55And from what I have seen on your first day in my employ, you are a passable artist.
39:01An eager and intelligent pupil with a surprisingly good open-handed slap.
39:08Please, take a seat.
39:16Clara Anderson's kidnapping is a crime in which I may not visibly involve myself.
39:21But you, a girl, newly arrived in the city, and like most Americans, fond of asking far too many questions,
39:30could go where I cannot.
39:34Provided you are truly interested in learning my methods.
39:40If you have something to teach.
39:42I do.
39:47But under some non-negotiable conditions.
39:52Those would be?
39:55You will only undertake tasks I set for you.
40:00You will follow my instructions to the letter, you will tell no one what you are doing, and you will
40:04report only to me.
40:06And perhaps the skills you learn may later be employed to investigate the murder of your mother.
40:13In the meantime, to avoid suspicion, you will remain in your current position of scullery maid and cook at two
40:20pounds per month.
40:21Agreed?
40:25Okay then.
40:29When do we start on finding Clara?
40:31Tomorrow morning.
40:34Do you have anything else to say?
40:38If my mother said so, then I am your daughter.
40:48Just help me crack the case.
41:09I'm sorry to leave you here, but others will be here very soon.
41:15And, uh, you won't be alone.
41:20You hear that?
41:22You're still alive. They've been here for weeks.
41:26Please don't be any trouble, Clara.
41:29The other men who watch this place, well...
41:33You're not as nice as me.
41:40I have to close the lid now.
41:42No!
41:43No!
41:47If I were you, I'd just...
41:48No!
41:50Try to get some sleep.
41:52No!
41:53No!
41:55No!
41:59No!
41:59No!
42:01No!
42:03No!
42:03No!
42:05No!
42:07No!
