00:01The murder weapon. Wise of you to keep it.
00:05Lucia Rojas, my mother, she was another victim of the red thread.
00:08They are preparing to commit the greatest offence ever conceived.
00:12Now that our lordship is gone, Milady, perhaps we can think of a better way to get acquainted?
00:18He tried to.
00:20It is telephony that I wish to study.
00:23Telephones serve no useful purpose in detection.
00:25Take my rescue of the American ambassador's daughter.
00:27You also recovered the ambassador's stolen jewels?
00:31Not yet, no.
00:32I am personally taking over this investigation, so I'm confident the jewels will be found.
00:37I'm Michael Wiley.
00:38Alias adopted by the son of a very dangerous criminal, also known as Dan Moriarty.
00:43I think spying's an ugly word.
00:44What are you interested in then?
00:46Your employer's relationship to Professor Moriarty.
00:48If you could find out, I'd be very grateful.
00:50I'll wait for you tomorrow at Mrs. Bailey's tea house on Park Road.
00:57THE END
00:57THE END
01:00THE END
01:01THE END
01:07Come in, Mrs. Halligan, and bring Detective Swan and his friend with you.
01:13Sorry, Mr. Holmes, but how did you know who was visiting?
01:15I heard three sets of feet on the stairs and it took no great effort to deduce that the telephone
01:21installer Detective Swan promised will be here by 9am has inexplicably arrived at half past three in the afternoon.
01:29Good day, Mr. Holmes, and allow me to introduce you to...
01:33Mr. Pete Pound, at your service.
01:37I suppose in the future, whenever you're delayed, you could always call ahead on my new telephone.
01:41As you say, sir.
01:42Now, where do you want the device installed?
01:45Someone over here by the desk.
01:47Mr. Holmes, reconsider.
01:49Bringing that contraption into your rooms will be the end of your privacy.
01:53Oh, no, no, no, Mrs. Halligan. Imagine connecting to the whole wide world while sitting comfortably in your parlour. Why,
02:00you could summon the police or a doctor or even speak to distant relatives and friends. It's quite marvellous.
02:06Excuse me, sir. I just need to make some measurements.
02:11Sorry, sir. When I opened the door, these hoodlums ran past me.
02:15No problem, Mr. Halligan. I was expecting these young men. Yes, sure. What is it?
02:19Sorry to come unannounced, Mr. Holmes, but we found that Michael Wiley you were looking for.
02:22Wonderful, wonderful.
02:25Detective Swan, I assume you can finish this installation without me?
02:29Yes, of course, Mr. Holmes.
02:30And Mr. and Mrs. Halligan, I will leave you in command. And now, sure, if you and your friends could
02:35please introduce me.
02:36To Mr. White.
02:46I began to think you weren't going to come.
02:48Am I permitted to say how much I was looking forward to seeing you?
02:51You can keep your flowers.
02:52I'm only here to say that I won't tell you anything about Mr. Holmes.
02:56But I thought we'd agreed that you...
02:57No, no, my agreement was with someone called Michael Wiley.
03:00Your name is Dan Moriarty, and your father is a dangerous criminal who's tried to kill Mr. Holmes, who was
03:07talking about you as I walked out the door this morning.
03:09Please, please, people are here.
03:10What? That's how you begin an apology for lying?
03:14No, no, no, no. Of course, I regret very much that I lied, but...
03:27Mrs. Halligan, please make sure that neither Detective Swan nor Mr. Pound enter this room for the next few minutes.
03:33Of course, sir.
03:39Now, I demand an explanation for your reprehensible behaviour.
03:44I didn't...
03:45Not you, the Moriarty.
03:47Now, on our journey over here, Miss Rojas claimed that you pressured her into spying on me. Do you deny
03:53it?
03:53And I warn you, sir, this is not mere curiosity. Before you leave here today, I must be satisfied with
03:59your answers.
04:01It's a long story, Mr. Holmes.
04:03Well, feel free to summarise. As your father has learned to his cost, my ability to extrapolate from limited information
04:09may surprise you.
04:10As with my father, the story begins. After my mother died, my father was consumed with grief and work. Left
04:19to my own devices, I was adopted by a band of thieves who tricked me into picking people's pockets for
04:25their benefit.
04:26Another missing chapter from Oliver Twist.
04:29I had little skill as a thief, and at the age of nine, I was arrested.
04:32But you were just a child.
04:33The Crown saw it differently. They bundled me off to Australia, and I was sold as an indentured servant to
04:40an isolated sheep farm.
04:42How could they do such a thing?
04:43There was a plague of juvenile delinquents in London and a labour shortage in Australia, and the decision to solve
04:49one of these problems with the other was both inhumane and extremely popular. Politics.
04:54They emptied the jails, yes, but they also emptied the poor houses and the orphanages.
05:00Little kids torn from their families, exiled halfway around the world, in conditions it would be improper for a young
05:09lady to hear.
05:09I know a lot about forced child labour. Maybe the British got the idea from California's missions.
05:15Surely you were never treated so badly.
05:18I could have been, if my mother and I had not had our own ranch.
05:23How long were you living in Forrest, Servitude?
05:27It took me 14 months to escape and change my name to Michael Wiley.
05:32And 14 years of constant application in order to obtain a position in a trading company with a branch here
05:38in London.
05:40Since my father had not found me, I resolved to find him.
05:45Not long after arriving here, however, I discovered that Professor James Moriarty was not teaching mathematics, but is the master
05:53of a vast criminal empire and sentenced to prison.
05:55Where he insists you visit him.
05:57One day, once he's paid his debt to society, I hope that father and I will be reunited.
06:04But should I visit him under his current circumstances, my employer might discover who I really am and...
06:09Your job and your future would be forfeit.
06:11Imagine, abandoned by your father, growing up the child of a man who didn't seem to know you existed.
06:17Yes, how awful.
06:19Amelia, please go upstairs and pack your belongings.
06:22What? Why?
06:23Well, as we discussed, you'll be moving to the ambassador's household, a chaperone to his daughter.
06:30But I thought...
06:31We will review this great good change in your personal fortunes once you have packed.
06:41Mr. Holmes, please, I beg you, hear me out.
06:47Ah, hello. Detective Swan of the Scotland Yard Scientific Division.
06:52Um, nice to meet you. I'm Amelia Ross.
06:54Are you here to consult Mr. Holmes?
06:56No, I work for him.
06:57Well, I'm here to supervise the installation of his new telephone.
07:02Have you ever used one before?
07:03No, not yet.
07:05Well, if you'd ever like to practice, just call this number.
07:10I've just had it connected, so I will answer.
07:14I spend most of my days in my office, all hours.
07:18Can I just...
07:19Oh, yes, of course.
07:20Uh, sorry to delay you.
07:25And since visiting him in prison is out of the question,
07:28I'm worried my father's release could be further delayed,
07:31should you bring more accusations against him,
07:33which I believe you would, if you could.
07:36On that point, you speak truthfully.
07:38If the law allowed, I would keep the professor behind bars forever.
07:42That, alas, is beyond my ability.
07:44What I can do, however, is demand that you stay as far away from Amelia as possible.
07:49You have no right to make a demand like that.
07:50Now, listen to me very carefully, Mr. Moriarty.
07:53I am ordering you...
07:54Under what authority? You just released her from your employment.
07:56I will not argue the point!
07:58A foreigner of mixed heritage without rank or position
08:02cannot afford to associate herself with a man who uses an alias, Mr. Wiley.
08:07Besides, you can no longer keep your father at a distance.
08:10He insists you visit him.
08:11I am only a clerk on the exchange.
08:14My hours are determined by Sir Nigel Parks, my employer.
08:17If you can find the time to take tea with my maid,
08:20you can manage to see your father.
08:22Sir, I told him to stay outside!
08:25Perhaps I should finish another day.
08:26I'll be available again three weeks from tomorrow.
08:28This is preposterous that a paying customer should be so ill-used.
08:33Very well, Mr. Pound. Continue your work.
08:39Any last words, Mr. Wiley?
08:43I'm surprised to find someone of your intellect, Mr. Holmes,
08:46mistaking current circumstances for future prospects.
08:50Perhaps time will reveal just how much you underestimated my abilities.
08:57Oh, before I take my leave, Mr. Holmes,
09:00I should like to say that Amelia refused a considerable sum to spy on you.
09:05Well, that's just exactly what I would expect you to say under the circumstances.
09:09Mrs. Halligan, please show our guest out.
09:11Yes, sir, Mr. Holmes.
09:20You nearly finished, Mr. Pound?
09:22Oh, sure. Extremely close.
09:45I told Mr. Halligan you're sending me away.
09:48It's completely unfair.
09:50Just because I didn't tell you that Dan was following me,
09:53you keep things from me all the time.
09:55Your move to the ambassador's household was settled long before I discovered you with Mr. Moriarty,
10:00about whom I will say only this.
10:02You're newly arrived in London, and young men will take ruthless advantage of naive young girls.
10:07I beg you, do not encourage his attentions.
10:10I'm a stranger to London, not boys.
10:12I know we talked about me working with the Andersons,
10:16but this just feels like you're punishing me for jumping down after you told me not to confront anyone for
10:20following me.
10:21You disobeyed me, true, and you should not have, and you ought to have admitted it sooner,
10:26but your new job as Clara's chaperone is not a punishment.
10:29It is an accommodation with the Andersons that I could not refuse.
10:33Once you're inside the ambassador's household, then you will no longer be overtly connected to me,
10:37and the risk to your life should diminish.
10:39I can take care of myself.
10:40Can Clara?
10:42Now remember, she was released by her kidnappers in exchange for keys, but keys to what?
10:48Now we must protect Clara.
10:50We don't know which keys the ambassador traded for her return.
10:53Now Charlie the coachman is lost to us, so Clara is our best connection to the thread.
10:59And if we want to find Watson and Mrs. Hudson and identify your mother's killer, then we must seize every
11:05opportunity thrown our way.
11:06And your position in the ambassador's household increases our reach.
11:10Now, this will be my telephone number whenever this interminable installation ends.
11:18If you learn anything new about the thread, you can call me at once.
11:24All right.
11:26I'll do what I can.
11:29And Amelia, remember Lord Withersley killed himself to escape the red thread and to spare his family.
11:35So please, please, stay on your guard.
11:53Each of you is either a foreigner or a merchant's daughter, disadvantaged by birth and class.
12:00You may depend on it when I tell you posture is synonymous with nobility.
12:05Men of rank can spot a slumped shoulder from across a ballroom.
12:09Everyone, one step forward, two steps back.
12:14Again.
12:15Head erect, faint smile.
12:18One step forward, two steps back.
12:21This is what it means to be a lady.
12:25Now.
12:28Now.
12:31While maintaining your balance.
12:38Suggest a suitable topic for a lady to discuss with a gentleman.
12:43Clara?
12:44Art?
12:45Good.
12:46Especially if you never take too strong an opinion.
12:48The gentleman may disagree with what you like.
12:51Emma?
12:51Politics?
12:53Absolutely not.
12:54The gentleman might share his opinions.
12:57They often do.
12:57Ladies are above these mundane concerns.
13:03Over brandy and cigars, men believe they control the world, but we will control them, ladies.
13:09And that is our path to power.
13:15God.
13:16That will be all for the day, Clara.
13:18I should like to talk with you privately for a moment.
13:20Someone gather up all the books and put them back where they belong.
13:23Where would you like them?
13:24Those go on the top shelf.
13:27Um, my dear girl, I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
13:32Though you are still first in line in case one appears and the season might extend.
13:36But we don't yet have a date for your ball.
13:39I have a plan.
13:43Oh, my gosh.
13:45Clara, help me!
13:46Emma!
13:48Emma!
13:49Someone help!
13:50Emma!
13:52She's dead.
13:53Oh, my gosh.
13:55It's so terrifying.
13:57Help!
14:00Emma!
14:05I'm not surprised you want to share evidence.
14:08For your interest in this case is well known to me.
14:11Oh, how so?
14:12The young woman who helped rescue the ambassador's daughter is none other than your maid.
14:16You don't deny she was following your orders.
14:19She pursues a personal cause in connection with the case.
14:22What could Miss Rohass possibly have to do with £50,000 worth of stolen jewels?
14:26Well, you asked the same question of Lord Withersley a few days ago and three murders and one suicide later.
14:32I had no idea Withersley was in financial distress.
14:35Today, I'll admit, his involvement seems more probable.
14:40Withersley's complicity was never less than conspicuous, but I hardly think he killed three men before shooting himself.
14:48It's a pity his coachman, the O'Leary of Belfast, was murdered.
14:53He would have made an excellent suspect.
14:55The police say he's a revolutionary dedicated to overthrowing the crown.
15:00That's an odd sort to be employed by a lord.
15:02Did you find the missing jewels at Withersley's estate?
15:05Alas, no.
15:06I did find two clues that might interest you.
15:09However, you suggested we share information.
15:13Yet I've done all the talking and you've done nothing but less than that.
15:15That's a habit you would do well to cultivate, Bertie.
15:18Nevertheless, I'll take my turn.
15:20Well, the two other dead men you found at the Withersley estate, Messrs Weems and Maggot, were not in fact
15:26Clara Anderson's fellow hostages, but accomplices to her kidnapper.
15:30All murdered by the largest and most nefarious criminal syndicate I have yet to encounter, attempting a crime which appears
15:37to be, absurd as it may sound, beyond my imagination.
15:42This is the same syndicate with whom you're made as some personal animus.
15:47They also murdered her mother whilst the two of them were living in California.
15:50By the way, you don't suppose during your search for the missing jewels you have ever come across a weapon
15:57such as this?
16:00Well, I'm afraid not. Why haven't you followed up these allegations yourself?
16:06People are watching me, Bertie. If I'm seen to meddle in these affairs, it could cost lives.
16:12Suddenly, my clues no longer seem quite so thrilling.
16:16Well, they are to me. I can't stay long. What have you discovered?
16:20Five pairs of footprints and a button.
16:24Well, that sounds promising.
16:27May well be, Mr. Holmes. May well be. Follow me.
16:32I understand the wilderness was poor training for civilization, but a servant may never demand help of an employer.
16:43Emma just died.
16:46Be careful, little girl. Like the lion in the jungle, we did not turn the world into an empire without
16:54very sharp claws.
16:58You may want to remember that when next you cry for help.
17:20You can see the first set of prints belonged to a man with a slight limp.
17:24The second set belonged to a woman who stumbled once or twice in her journey.
17:29These two sets of prints valished next to the tracks of a large carriage which rolled out of the driveway
17:35headed to London.
17:36I think this button is lost by the gentleman en route.
17:40But there's nowhere to tell.
17:41Well, there is. The button is not weathered.
17:44Yes?
17:45So freshly lost, but not by accident.
17:47Note how the thread broke.
17:49This has been yanked deliberately from a man's waistcoat and left behind as a talisman for us to follow.
17:55Ha!
17:56Well done, dear old friend. Well done.
17:58That's kind of you to say.
18:00I'm happy the button tells us more of what happened.
18:03Not what, but whom.
18:05You see how the button is mother of pearl and the fabric to which it was sewn was broadcloth.
18:12So this comes from the wardrobe of a professional fellow.
18:14And you see how there is a dent across the front where it is regularly bumped against metal, such as
18:19one might find on a stethoscope.
18:21This button, Bertie, is proof of life. And I shall regard the moment you gave it to me as the
18:27first truly hopeful sign in many weeks.
18:29So this investigation is big enough for the both of us. Shall we proceed together?
18:34And if, whilst continuing your search for the missing jewels, you could quickly verify the recent murder of Lucia Rojas
18:43outside the city of Los Angeles and confirm that Amelia is indeed her daughter, I'll share more with you on
18:48this case tomorrow.
18:50Until then, I suggest you carry a revolver with you at all times. And on that note, I bid you
18:58farewell.
18:59Good day to you, Mr. Holmes. And good luck.
19:04Friends with Sherlock Holmes, eh? Imagine that.
19:18I can't get the sight of Emma out of my head. Dead. Just like that. And Lady Violet seems so
19:24indifferent.
19:25Did she dislike Emma? No, not at all. Emma was better at her lessons than the rest of us, and
19:31at dancing too.
19:34I've saved my invitations for every ball of the season, so I can one day show my own daughter. Emma's
19:40was quite beautiful. She was so looking forward to the 18th. Now...
19:57I did not ask you to grease the top step of your library ladder so the girl would slip and
20:01fall. Clara could wait another year to debut.
20:03Except for your intrigue, except for your intrigues, which I have advised against.
20:07No. You listen to me. My daughter will not have her ball on the 18th, unless I have received the
20:13full settlement for the jewels two days prior. I am focused on my part of this enterprise. Use your authority
20:19so that the insurance company pays me immediately for my losses, or else suffer the consequences. I bid you good
20:26night.
20:27I bid you good night.
20:57I bid you good night.
21:14Hello, operator.
21:16Can you ring Mar-Mar-La-Bone 15?
21:19You mean Mar-La-Bone?
21:21Yes.
21:22Yes.
21:23One moment.
21:25I'm sorry, the telephone you're trying to call is not a working number.
21:38Mr. Pound, I must demand an explanation.
21:40You told me this telephone would be operational yesterday.
21:44If you don't want me to finish, call the other telephone company.
21:47Oh, wait.
21:48There is no other telephone company.
21:56Your friend seems to take great pride in ridiculing his customers.
22:00Oh, I don't think he is any worse than the other installers, sir.
22:04While he finishes, let us compare these two telephone bills.
22:07One listing calls to and from the late Lord Wethersie,
22:10and the other documenting all the calls in Chief Inspector Whitlock's office.
22:14Now we will cross-reference the numbers to see which of them appear on both,
22:18and perhaps we can begin to identify some of our conspirators.
22:22But, sir, should we not have a warrant to study private telephone bills?
22:26As to that, Swan, I am not an officer of the court.
22:29I recognise no authority higher than my own curiosity,
22:32and this bill was handed to me by Chief Inspector Whitlock himself.
22:36We are on firm legal ground.
22:42One, two, three.
22:43One, two, three.
22:44One, two, three.
22:46One, two, three.
22:47One, two, three.
22:48Very good.
22:49Or good enough.
22:50Now, as you know, the residence of the Italian ambassador lacks a proper ballroom,
22:57so his daughter's debut will be held here tomorrow,
23:01starting in the late afternoon, due to the ambassador's inability to comprehend our customs.
23:06For now, however, I have invited some young men with whom you might practise what we shall
23:13charitably refer to as your dancing.
23:16While these boys are not marriageable in any sense,
23:21on the floor of the ballroom and to the proper music,
23:25they know the steps.
23:27Come.
23:34Like this, see?
23:37Isn't it lovely?
23:44Eleanor, please hold your head up when you move,
23:48so your chin doesn't spread out over your neck.
23:51Deborah, you are supposed to be led, not dragged.
23:59Oh, clumsy.
24:01Oh.
24:03Oh.
24:21I did not ask you to grease the top step of your library and ladder
24:24so the girl would slip and fall.
24:26All done, sir.
24:28You may now use your telephone at your leisure.
24:31Oh, Mr. Pound,
24:32you've been so very, um, helpful.
24:35I have.
24:36Yes, and it occurs to me with such specialised knowledge
24:39you might know how to identify a customer from their telephone number alone.
24:43As it so happens, I can do that.
24:46Oh, wonderful.
24:46Please, explain.
24:48Just call them up and ask their name.
24:53Will there be anything else, sir?
24:55Apparently not.
24:57See yourself out.
25:01Some inconvenience, but think, sir, you will be the first to use a telephone like this.
25:06Hello.
25:07Operator, could you please connect me to Belgravia 483?
25:12I cannot believe I have paid a company to treat me with such incivility.
25:15This decline in decorum will be the end of common decency.
25:18Oh, hello.
25:19Oh, this is the, uh, Department of Lost Property at Paddington Station.
25:22I was calling about that three-volume novel, what you reported missing.
25:26Mr. Holmes!
25:28Oh, who have I called then?
25:30No, the Dowager Duchess of Lincolnshire.
25:33Well, how about that?
25:35Mr. Holmes!
25:36Sir, you've just complained about the decline of common decency, and here you are, lying
25:40to a complete stranger.
25:42It wasn't a lie.
25:43It was a simple misdirection and note.
25:45It yielded the information we seek, a name attached to one of the many telephones used
25:50to call both Wethersy and the Chief Inspector's Office.
25:53Let's try again.
25:55Uh, no.
25:58Yes, Operator, could you please, uh, connect me to East 31?
26:03Those of a delicate sensibility might want to leave the room.
26:07Oh, yes, yes.
26:09Hello.
26:09Oh, am I speaking to the head of the household?
26:12Well, you see, I did speak to Sir Thomas last year about cleaning his carpets with my new
26:18patented, uh, hello.
26:22They both called the same stockbroker.
26:25The game's afoot.
26:26Justice is no game, Mr. Holmes.
26:28You've taken an invention designed to more closely connect the world, and you've abused
26:33its purpose with more lies and deceit.
26:35Criminals have already corrupted your precious telephone.
26:37With lives at stake, I have little choice but to follow their example.
26:43Yes, hello, Operator.
26:45Could you please connect me to Kensington 19?
26:49Go and prepare yourself for greater shocks.
26:51There is worse to come.
26:53Go on.
26:56Go on.
27:09Go on.
27:10Go.
27:31Dr. Collier, wait, there's more.
27:34If you did subscribe to Horton Hound, we would have the strand.
27:38You'd have quite the eclectic waiting room.
27:40What?
27:42Oh, Greenland Crest Asylum for the Criminally Insane.
27:48Sorry, Doctor.
27:50Well, perhaps for visitors.
27:58Amelia, there you are.
28:01I want to introduce...
28:03Michael Wiley.
28:04I've already had the pleasure.
28:06Nice to see you again, Miss Rehaus.
28:09I bet there's a story here.
28:12Excuse me.
28:13I want to go see if Eleanor has her ostrich feathers yet.
28:22I'm surprised you can get away from your busy job in exchange for this weird dancing.
28:28My employer is friends with that witch, Lady Violet.
28:32She offered two shillings for young men to dance with these...
28:37these snobby girls.
28:39Along with a free dinner, if we come for the ball tomorrow.
28:42I only accepted for a chance of seeing you.
28:45And then you left.
28:50Are you upset with me?
28:52Upset?
28:53Because Mr. Holmes has lost his trust in me?
28:56Upset because I've lost a job that I love in order to play nursery maid to a boy-crazy girl?
29:01I only asked for what I thought was a small favour without considering it could do you harm.
29:06I offer my sincerest apologies.
29:10Are you at least better paid than when you were with Mr. Holmes?
29:13Not everybody chooses their job based on their salary.
29:17Besides, I work too much to spend it.
29:21Hello?
29:24I said hello.
29:26Oh, hello, ma'am.
29:28I represent the Fund for Police, Widows and Orphans, and I was wondering if you might offer...
29:35Why, Sherlock Holmes, you rascal.
29:37I was about to hang up until I realised it was you.
29:40Oh, how annoying.
29:42I was hoping my vocal disguise would hold up long enough to receive one of your legendary reprimands.
29:48I should tell you Orph, but I'm more interested in why you really called.
29:53Uh, well, to say how wonderful it was to see you in person last week.
29:58Oh, how very kind.
30:00And also to ask if Miss Rojas has been a suitable chaperone to the Ambassador's daughter.
30:05I would hardly describe the girl as sophisticated, but she does take her responsibility seriously.
30:11Would you care to see your former maid in action?
30:13I'm throwing an afternoon ball for the daughter of the Italian Ambassador's debut.
30:17I will send you an invitation at once.
30:19An afternoon ball.
30:21Come, please.
30:23Very well, I'll come.
30:25But do you not find these debutante balls to be a series of pretentious balls?
30:29How else to prepare young girls to be the wives of aristocrats?
30:33Except by surrounding them with pretentious balls.
30:36Now, I must go. I look forward to seeing you, Sherlock.
30:384pm, please. Au revoir.
30:394pm, let's go.
31:095pm, please.
31:094pm, please.
31:14It might seem strange being dressed up in broad daylight,
31:17but it'll do you good to be amongst the quality for an afternoon, Mr Holmes.
31:22Dancing.
31:24Music.
31:25Yes.
31:26It'll have a stimulating conversation, perhaps,
31:29because the afternoon will be spent without it.
31:32Mr Halligan, I will want you to drop me at the gate
31:34and come back one hour later, if you don't mind.
31:36I don't believe it would be proper for me to mind.
31:39Mr Holmes.
31:41Ah, that will be Mr Batwistle.
31:44Please show him up.
32:05Good afternoon, Sherlock.
32:07Ah, Bertie.
32:09Ah.
32:09You seem a little overdressed to receive my report.
32:12Yes, yes.
32:13Sadly, I have been asked out for the afternoon.
32:16Yes.
32:17Perhaps you have been up to something of more interest.
32:20Indeed I have.
32:21First, there was a notice for Lucia Rojas's murder,
32:25though no official investigation followed,
32:27and the poor woman did of a girl farther unknown.
32:31Possibly an Englishman.
32:32I suppose since the girl was born six months after the Wild West show completed its London run.
32:37Six months?
32:38Are you certain?
32:39Quite certain.
32:40I was able to determine the date through an exchange with no lesser personage than Buffalo Bill himself,
32:46though he did not refer to the mother as Lucia Rojas, but as...
32:50Yes, yes.
32:51Little dove.
32:52It was her Wild West show, Nomme de Guerre.
32:56Excuse me.
32:58Whether Amelia is, in fact, Lucia Rojas's daughter, I cannot say.
33:05We must at least consider her to be an imposter.
33:08For a near penniless girl, she did quite well out of all these arrangements.
33:13Nevertheless, I'm grateful to you for establishing as many of these facts as possible.
33:18Very grateful.
33:19Oh, it's my pleasure.
33:21And there was also a series of telegrams sent overseas.
33:25Yes.
33:28Oh, yes.
33:30There we go.
33:35You learned anything else?
33:38No.
33:38Just that there is some connection between the theft of the Jules and someone of rank at Scotland Yard.
33:44Well, I'm not surprised.
33:45With £50,000 to distribute, I mean, one could bribe the entire police force, couldn't one?
33:51Yes.
33:51You're holding out on me, Sherlock.
33:53I am.
33:56Though others might consider you a pompous windback,
33:59I know you to be an extremely serious, would-be investigator.
34:03Well, thank you.
34:04I think.
34:05Yes.
34:06Come along.
34:07The jewels will only be found by bringing down the criminal syndicate that has stolen them.
34:12So I say to you advisedly, Bertie, watch your step, dear fellow.
34:16Watch your step.
34:30Oh, my goodness, Amelia.
34:33Isn't it beautiful?
34:34It's like a fairy tale.
34:38Only you, Miss Anderson.
34:40Not your servant.
34:41She's not my servant.
34:42She's the chaparral.
34:44A foreign girl must stay outdoors during the war.
34:47I'd like her to come inside with me.
34:49Miss Anderson.
34:50No, I'd like her to come inside.
34:52Miss Anderson, please.
34:53Please.
34:54I need her.
34:55Just don't draw attention to yourself, Clem.
34:58It's just a party.
34:59Just don't dance with the same boy twice,
35:01or get pulled away from the crowd.
35:04Okay?
35:04Okay.
35:05Come inside.
35:05It's fine.
35:09There's a bench over there.
35:11Go.
35:11Go.
35:19The daughter of the American ambassador
35:22to the court of St. James,
35:24Miss Tara Anderson.
35:50Why are you out here instead of looking after your charge?
35:53That's the least of it.
35:55Wait until you hear what I found out about Lady Vyron.
35:58She's deeply...
35:59Deeply involved with the Red Thread, yes.
36:01I know.
36:02No, it's much more than that.
36:06Come.
36:24Miss Anderson.
36:26Do we meet again?
36:28We do indeed.
36:29Mr. Wiley, was it?
36:31How kind of you to remember.
36:34May I be allowed to write my name on your dance card?
36:36Of course.
36:38But only one dance.
36:39I've been ordered to mingle.
36:41And you're certain about the weaponry
36:43in Lady Violet's parlour,
36:45the same design as the knife
36:46left behind in your mother's body?
36:48As certain as you are
36:49that the button found by Mr. Birtwhistle
36:51belongs to Dr. Watson.
36:54We're closing in on them, Amelia.
36:58Perhaps separating you from Clara
37:00was more than just snobbery.
37:02You always said they would try to approach her again.
37:05Clara is...
37:08so impressionable.
37:10Do I detect a growing fondness
37:11for your young child?
37:14Now that I'm seeing how she was brought up,
37:17I know it's not Clara's fault
37:18she is the way she is.
37:20She was really kind to me when we met.
37:22Maybe I'm just jealous
37:24that she still has a mother to talk to.
37:27I mean, I'd give anything to speak to mine again.
37:30Even if it was just for a minute.
37:33Even if it was just to tell her
37:34I'm doing what she wanted.
37:38Anyway.
37:43Amelia,
37:45I wanted to
37:47tell you that
37:48if I seemed distant
37:51when I sent you to the ambassador's house
37:53I am sorry.
37:56Extremely sorry.
37:59It's alright, Mr. Holmes.
38:01I'm
38:02still getting to know you
38:04so I didn't take it personally.
38:07also
38:09you told me
38:10someone needs to keep watch over Clara
38:11and I can't now.
38:13Your mind
38:14never strays far from the case.
38:16Commendable.
38:17You will save the subject
38:18of Lady Violet for later.
38:19Meanwhile
38:19I will look after the young lady
38:21in your absence.
38:22These people don't spend time
38:23talking to servants, Mr. Holmes.
38:25And I'm sure someone's watching us.
38:29There's more I want to tell you
38:30but later.
38:31Quite right.
38:32It won't be long.
38:38Mr. Sherlock Holmes
38:41of Baker Street, London.
38:43Oh my God.
38:46Holmes.
38:46Sherlock Holmes.
39:03You arrived.
39:05You arrived.
39:07I had hope to surprise you.
39:09Well done.
39:10Now excuse me briefly.
39:12I must check the ballroom
39:13and chide my students
39:14on their wretched dancing.
39:16Chase me down later.
39:17On that you have my word.
39:28I'm dying.
39:30Help me.
39:31Help.
39:32In the name of God.
39:33Someone.
39:33Are you okay?
39:34Shall we visit the ballroom
39:36and take your first walks?
39:37Thank you, Mr. Wiley.
39:39I will always remember you
39:40were the first to ask me to dance
39:41but I'm afraid my principles
39:43do not allow me to stay.
39:44Miss Anderson,
39:45you cannot be leaving so quickly.
39:48Mr. Holmes,
39:49how lovely it is to see you
39:50but I'm afraid I must say farewell.
39:53My chaperone was forced to remain
39:54with the carriages
39:55and I cannot enjoy myself inside
39:57while my friend is outside in the cold.
39:59Are you okay?
40:00Oh!
40:01Oh!
40:03Oh!
40:03Oh, great!
40:16What do you mean Amelia was denied entry?
40:20Unacceptable.
40:21Excuse me.
40:22I just spoke to a weightless to work.
40:25I beg your pardon, Miss Anderson.
40:28Help!
40:30Help me!
40:32Help!
40:35Help!
40:39Help!
40:40Help!
40:41Anyone, please!
40:42Come on!
40:44Come on!
40:50Come on!
40:52Come on!
40:55Come on!
41:00Come on!
41:01Come on!
41:02Look at me!
41:03I don't know.
