TVTranscript
00:00When this despicable band of thieves and murderers commit crimes at which they forbid my interference,
00:06they leave behind a signal.
00:08Or else Watson or Mrs. Hudson could well die.
00:10But you could go where I cannot.
00:13I can't find his wife's jewel box.
00:15I, them gems, is worth a pannis.
00:18Why kidnap Clara if you've already stolen her ransom?
00:20Please do not tell my parents.
00:22Don't tell your parents how you planned your own kidnapping and stole your mother's jewels.
00:26I am dealing with a vast criminal syndicate of unbridled region, even inside the police.
01:01They're bringing a right out, sir.
01:03Thank you, constable.
01:05Congratulations on your rapid apprehension of this coachman who kidnapped the American ambassador's daughter.
01:11With the jewels on his person, did the criminal confess?
01:13No, sir, but he'll eventually tell us all.
01:16Sent him off to Newgate.
01:18Ah.
01:18Fuck, we kept the girl close.
01:21Oh, no.
01:22No, no, no, no, no.
01:23Oh, no.
01:24I'm not going anywhere with that man.
01:26Take me back to my cell.
01:26Here, here, young lady.
01:28Be grateful you have a benevolent employer,
01:30what's willing to be personally liable for your behavior.
01:34You sure she's worth the trouble, sir?
01:36Well, the girl has her faults, but domestics are very difficult to train,
01:40and I hate the thought of having to start all over again with someone new.
01:45I'm sure the girl will calm down once she returns to the kitchen.
01:49Usually works, sir.
01:52I'm going back to Baker Street.
01:54I'm getting my things, and I'm leaving.
01:55Very well.
01:56On your current heading, it'll take approximately 131 days to reach your destination,
02:02depending on the schedules of various trains and steamers
02:06and the probability of good weather in the South Java Sea.
02:10Are you saying that I'm going in the wrong direction?
02:12Not wrong. Merely eccentric.
02:14If you're open to a journey briefer than circumnavigating the globe,
02:17you could step into this cab with which I came to rescue you.
02:20Rescue me?
02:22I wouldn't need rescuing if you hadn't abandoned me.
02:25I didn't abandon you.
02:26I had to leave to prevent the police from recognizing you.
02:29Come along.
02:34Maybe the coffin factoring was meant to burn.
02:36Have you ever thought about that?
02:38And what things do I get for Clara?
02:39I'm threatened, accused, arrested.
02:42As if you, and only you, can decide when a criminal is caught.
02:50Not with a front door.
02:51Oh, blow it out, Jabata.
02:52God heavens.
02:56A message for you, sir.
02:58Oh, no, Halligan.
02:59You may pack your possessions, but you may not leave.
03:02You've been released into my custody.
03:03I will not spend another night in this house with your insufferable smugness.
03:17Key?
03:18Oh, I did it.
03:19The key.
03:21Oh, never mind.
03:23Excuse me, Mr. Holmes.
03:24It's an urgent message in need of a reply.
03:27Read it to me, then.
03:28A. A. Templeton, insurance code NYUSA.
03:32Request to immediately engage your services locating jewels stolen from U.S. Ambassador London.
03:39Stop.
03:40Favourable terms, expenses, a £500 bonus if jewels recovered or claim rejected.
03:47Grateful for your prompt reply.
03:49Stop.
03:50Albert Templeton, president.
03:51My response to Mr. A. Templeton, regret must decline.
03:57Stop.
03:57Present engagements preclude.
03:59Stop.
04:00Good help hard to find.
04:01Stop.
04:07Amelia?
04:08Amelia, if you do not open this door at once, I will knock it down.
04:13Amelia?
04:15Amelia?
04:16Very well.
04:16Sir, a person of your station and reputation should not drag a young scullery maid and throw
04:22her out into the street.
04:23I beg you, sir, let me do it.
04:27Mrs. Halligan, I have this completely under control.
04:30Consider your honour, sir.
04:31And I would urge you to consider the life of your sister, still the rightful owner of
04:35this house.
04:37Now, to rescue Mrs. Hudson and Dr. Watson, I would instantly trade my honour, my reputation
04:42and my good fortune, and yours too, if it came to it.
04:46Now, saving Mrs. Hudson's life requires me to enter this room.
04:50So if Amelia does not immediately open this door, I will knock it down.
05:10However ill-used you feel, I took you from the street when you had nowhere to go, I employed
05:17you, I fed you, and you have repaid me for these kindnesses by refusing to follow my instructions
05:25in a manner that has put my closest friends beyond reach.
05:29Then why free me from the police, then?
05:31If I destroyed a plan that you never shared with me, I'm an ingrate, you say we're not
05:35related, that my mother is a liar?
05:37Well, you insist we are bound by blood, but first you can tell me how we are tied together
05:43by this.
05:48Why is this red thread so important to you?
05:50Because this is the signal I told you about.
05:53The signature of the criminal syndicate responsible for the kidnapping of my friends, a red thread
05:59which they leave tied to something at the scene of every crime they would forbid me to investigate.
06:05There is a red thread like this in Claire's room.
06:07Yes.
06:08And that's why you left?
06:09Yes.
06:10And you have another, which means you are either connected to the red thread or else you've
06:15found it somewhere.
06:16Which is it?
06:18It involves my mother's murder.
06:20How?
06:23After all, this is a crime you have insisted I should help you solve.
06:27Well, now I am so disposed.
06:31Speak.
06:32Tell me everything.
06:36As I recall, you were absent during the attack, delivering designs for a parade flute to Los
06:43Angeles.
06:46Was anything missing on your return?
06:49I didn't notice right away, but they took several map cases filled with Mama's mechanical drawings.
06:57Which is surprising because many of them were very old.
07:00Indeed.
07:01And where was the red thread?
07:06In the most terrible place.
07:13Tied to this.
07:15Ah, the murder weapon.
07:18Wise of you to keep it.
07:23And then?
07:30I held on to her for a while.
07:32I don't know how long.
07:34Of course.
07:36Of course you did.
07:38Once her body warmed to the touch.
07:41It was cold.
07:43Stiff.
07:44So.
07:46Rigor mortis established, but not dissipated.
07:49Her death was four to twelve hours before your return, so there is nothing you could have
07:53done to prevent it.
07:55Were you able to identify the number of attackers?
07:59I counted the hooves of four horses.
08:02They disappeared at the river.
08:05And the boot prints had all been wiped away.
08:07So thought out.
08:09Premeditated.
08:11And what did you do next?
08:15I buried her.
08:26What is this picture?
08:28It was her favourite photograph.
08:31From the time she worked on the Wild West show.
08:35And this is the letter I read to you where she says you're my father.
08:44Wild West show, the most celebrated theatrical event of the 19th century.
08:55There is.
08:57There, there.
08:59There, there.
09:04Here.
09:07Here.
09:13well i'm sorry for your loss your mother's murder proves the syndicate behind the red
09:19thread is even larger than i feared if they are able to reach across the world
09:25why do they require such size and scope what crime or crimes are they hoping to commit
09:33what does your mother's death have to do with it it appears her murder and the kidnappings are
09:38connected to a much greater enterprise let's talk about our plan for today fortunately we still have
09:48two living links to the red thread namely clara anderson and charlie the coachman now i must
09:53merely do the impossible and visit charlie in prison without alerting anyone to my presence and you must
09:58follow up with your friend clara my friend clara is a thief and a liar she stole from her own
10:06mother
10:06she's letting a man rot in jail for kidnapping her when she willingly went with him but charlie did
10:11kidnap her clara planned a fake abduction unless you believe that she was expecting to spend her
10:18honeymoon in a coffin i'd say her elopement misfired in a spectacular fashion and like us the red thread
10:25are fully aware of her vulnerabilities and one day will probably extort her for their own purposes
10:30we cannot afford for her misdeeds to become public knowledge and be severed from us well i'm sure clara
10:38thinks she got away with everything well you must demonstrate otherwise be blunt she'll respond better
10:42to cruelty than to kindness and get to her before the authorities can question her but clara has
10:47diplomatic immunity from the police not from this insurance investigator who is likely to appear at the
10:52house this very day i would have done so but you refused that job yes well the mountain inquiry into
10:59the kidnapping and the jewel theft will put me in open conflict with a red thread and for that i'm
11:03not
11:03yet prepared but this detective hired by the insurance company oh he could lead us to both the jewels and
11:10your friends and like me he can go where you can't very good very good soon you'll start to see
11:16these
11:16advantages on your own and since it seems to be a speciality of yours then i'm sure you can throw
11:21this investigator on the defensive which will not only be good for protecting clara who will also
11:26convince the investigator to question you and his interrogation will likely provide a theory of the
11:32crime but why would the anderson's let me into their house my horse chance was one of the horses that
11:38took clara back home in her father's carriage so fetching him should provide an excellent pretext for the
11:43visit and just this morning mrs mrs anderson sent me a card thanking you for helping to find their
11:49daughter so she would seem very well disposed all right then i'll bring chance back i'll manage clara
11:56and i'll challenge the insurance investigator thank you if you agree that from now on we're working on
12:04the case of the red thread together and we won't stop before finding out who murdered my mother
12:09and bringing the killer to justice agreed agreed
12:22now remember the last woman who served as my maid was found floating in the river thames for no better
12:27reason than as a warning to me so exercise great caution not just for my sake yours you must learn
12:33to
12:33cultivate humility are you sure that's possible it's a stark necessity you can only investigate
12:40the thread while seemingly to pursue some other purpose you must learn to hunt while looking like
12:45prey i can take care of myself no doubt but do not confront anyone or even acknowledge their presence
12:52do nothing to provoke suspicion or attract unwanted attention i'm visiting the ambassador's house reclaim
12:58your horse precisely and i am calling on an imprisoned man of no interest to our enemies in the hope
13:05this
13:05misdirection will trick them into believing my journey to newgate prison has nothing to do with charlie
13:10the coachman do you really think he knows where mrs hudson and dr watson have been taken maybe not
13:16but he certainly knows his encompasses newgate prison

13:49I don't know.
14:20Sherlock Holmes, see Prisoner 45262 Professor James Moriarty.
14:39A little bit.
15:06The Professor don't get many visitors.
15:09He really agrees to meet anyone.
15:10You'll see me, Mr. Dankworth.
15:13I promise you.
15:13Lead on.
15:21Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
15:23Requesting a visit which the Governor allows.
15:27Prisoner 45262.
15:29Face the wall.
15:31Put your hands above your head.
15:42Didn't expect to see you again.
15:45Oh, I know her all right.
15:46She can stay.
15:52Ought to be ashamed of yourself pretending to be things you ain't.
15:55I'm sorry.
15:56I didn't want to lie.
15:58Mr. Holmes made me do it.
16:00What are you here for today?
16:02To collect Mr. Holmes' horse chance.
16:05And while I'm here, I thought I might see Clara.
16:09Clara ain't come out of her room since she got back.
16:14But, I'll go ask her mother.
16:16What to do with you in the meantime.
16:21Please stay here, sir.
16:22While I assure myself of your safety.
16:26Now you listen to me, you horrible little man.
16:29You'll be in your best behaviour for this gentleman that's visiting you.
16:33And he might hark out of you and you're for the heart.
16:35You got it, Professor.
16:40Shall I chain him for you, sir?
16:42No.
16:43I shall be my outside if you need me.
16:59Ah.
17:03Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
17:05Whom I never thought to see again in the waking world.
17:09What could a poor prisoner like me do for the greatest detective on earth?
17:14Laying it on a bit thick, aren't we, Moriarty?
17:17You're unused to the deprivations of the condemned.
17:21Better if I had not escaped the Reichenbach Falls.
17:25Please, have a seat.
17:30I'll stand.
17:33Care for some lunch?
17:35I find toasting prison bread over an open flame burns off most of mould.
17:40Appetising as that sounds, I decline.
17:43Though I do note in passing neither your skin nor your weight reflect the ravages of a prison diet.
17:50Perhaps you ward off those perils with roast beef and claret, as one might infer from this gravy stain on
17:56your cuff and this red directly beneath your chin.
17:59Not so incidentally, I note that though there is no cell next to yours on the western wall, the hallway
18:06outside your door goes on for another twenty feet in that direction.
18:11This ink on your fingertips from perusing the newspapers, none of which I see in evidence, not even on this
18:18metal hook by the toilet where most of your fellow prisoners find their daily news best employed.
18:25Perhaps the maid has been around to clean already.
18:29Already.
18:33What an ingenious mechanism, may I?
18:37Oh, don't worry, James. I'm not here to expose corruption in Her Majesty's prisons.
18:43I'm here on a much more important errand and one that affects us both, and I should like to discuss
18:48it with you without your assistant eavesdropping in the hall.
18:52I'm practically dead from my left ear.
18:54Be quiet, you imbecile.
18:56Yes, sir.
18:58Pardon me if I demand proof this private conversation is necessary.
19:12I had wondered that the recent absence of your name in the press and the disappearance of Watson's fawning puffery
19:19in the Strand,
19:19the rumour that he had finally come to his senses and abandoned you was always highly suspect.
19:26And knowing that you still run your empire from behind bars, I find the decrease in those crimes most commonly
19:32associated with your known accomplices equally remarkable.
19:36Touching how we keep up with each other from afar.
19:41Very well.
19:43Under the circumstances, I shall consent to spend time in your odious company.
19:51May I?
19:52Under the circumstances, sir?
20:01Under the circumstances, sir?
20:05Under the circumstances, sir?
20:06Incredible.
20:10Thank well.
20:12Yes, your professorship, sir?
20:14One more for lunch.
20:35I'm so glad you stopped by.
20:38Your efforts to find our daughter were very brave.
20:43Clara will be down in a moment to thank you in person.
20:47But my husband and I are very anxious to express our gratitude.
20:51So we thought, since you will accept no reward,
20:54perhaps you would consider the offer to join our household.
20:59Excuse me?
21:00In the capacity of Clara's personal chaperone,
21:04given recent events, I would feel more secure
21:06if Clara had someone with whom to...
21:09go to dress shops and to the theatre and other social engagements.
21:16Would Clara enjoy this sort of company?
21:20She has no friends in London.
21:22And you've proven to be loyal and discreet.
21:24And it would mean quite a step up in your social standing, Amelia.
21:29Just think of all the great events to which you would be...
21:34adjacent.
21:37Oh!
21:38Look, there she is now.
21:40Clara, darling, look who's come for a visit.
21:42How very kind you are, Amelia.
21:44And with everything else you have to do.
21:46But I'm afraid I'm not yet quite myself.
21:51Perhaps if you're able to return next week...
21:53Don't be silly, Clara, sit.
21:57I'll see about more tea while you think, Amelia.
22:00I shouldn't be gone longer than it takes the kettle to boil.
22:08Please don't say you've come to tell my parents everything.
22:11Why shouldn't I?
22:12You stole your own mother's jewels.
22:15You weren't kidnapped but willingly left with Charlie,
22:17who is now in prison and liable to hang.
22:20No!
22:21Charlie cannot hang unless I testify against him.
22:24And my father has invoked diplomatic immunity to keep me out of court.
22:28Diplomatic immunity won't protect you from the insurance company.
22:31The what?
22:32Your father has filed a claim against the missing jewels.
22:35A private investigator is on the way, is perhaps already here,
22:39to find out how they were stolen.
22:42But what am I to do?
22:44Go ahead and lie.
22:47Why not add a fraud of 50,000 pounds to your list of crimes?
22:52Dear God, what have I done?
22:55My father will be sent home in disgrace
22:57and no one will ever marry me.
23:00Get up.
23:01Stop crying.
23:03Your mother will be back any moment and you can't look hysterical.
23:06Of course you'll be able to marry.
23:07No.
23:08You don't understand.
23:10You are a person of no importance and can wed whom you choose.
23:14I am not so fortunate.
23:18And if my secrets should be discovered.
23:23What a desperate predicament.
23:26As you are obviously aware, many of the small businesses in which I have maintained an interest-
23:32Gambling, fraud, opium.
23:34Have been absorbed by the red thread and some of my trusted lieutenants along with them.
23:38And you are unable to move against this presumptuous criminal syndicate whilst Watson and the landlady remain in their power.
23:46I wonder.
23:47You wonder what?
23:48Attempting to control your behavior through hostages is dangerous and clumsy.
23:52If the thread are truly worried about your conduct...
23:56Then why not just kill me?
23:59I see confinement has not dimmed your intellect which is, as ever, entirely wasted.
24:05Leaving you alive is a grave error.
24:08They will regret it as much as I.
24:11But you agree with my premise that to destroy the red thread would be to the advantage of us both?
24:16Oh yes.
24:17I very much concur.
24:20Now, if I'm not mistaken, you're about to make a request, are you not?
24:24I am.
24:26Yes.
24:27Ostensibly, I have come to Newgate Prison to visit you.
24:30In reality, however, I should like to interview an agent of the red thread incarcerated here for kidnapping the American
24:37ambassador's daughter.
24:39Howard must call you to beg for my assistance.
24:42Not at all.
24:43As you pointed out, our interests momentarily align and it is well known that you are, in effect, if not
24:50in name, the Prince Regent of this prison.
24:53Oh, come, come. You exaggerate.
24:56More tea, Professor?
24:57Uh, perhaps half a cup.
25:00I agree. How would you get to and from this idiot cell?
25:04Mr. Dankworth would escort me there and bring me back.
25:07Hmm, and to avoid being recognized in transit?
25:10I would temporarily change clothes. With you.
25:14Well, well. I've always wondered what it's like inside that stuffed shirt of yours.
25:20Ah. But what about your horrifying face, which many a prisoner here has good reason to remember?
25:26Well, the coachman is newly arrived from America and will not recognize me. And as Mr. Dankworth leads me around,
25:35I shall wear this hood over my head, as do the most dangerous prisoners. For I am dangerous, Mariaty. Very
25:42dangerous, lest you forget.
25:43Mr. Dankworth. I have caused to recollect at every moment of my life.
25:49Are you not worried this coachman will consider you a spy, planted by the police?
25:55No. I have more information on him than the police, and some of it gathered from a source they cannot
26:01question.
26:01So? And whom would that be?
26:06Clara?
26:07Clara?
26:08Clara?
26:08I've never had...
26:09Claire...
26:09Dear Lord. There you are.
26:12I'm sorry to interrupt, but we have a visitor who needs to talk to us.
26:17Clara's still recovering. Could this visitor not come back another time?
26:20I'm afraid not. Our daughter has been returned, but the jewels haven't. And our insurance claim against them must be
26:26pursued with urgency.
26:27I am sorry, young lady, to end your visit prematurely.
26:31But won't the investigator want to speak to me too? If he's going to be questioning Clara, I was there
26:38for some of it.
26:39Amelia's quite right. She helped rescue our daughter.
26:43Oh, very well. Wait here.
26:50Better watch your steps, huh?
27:10Here we are.
27:19Why, sir?
27:21I won't remain in there a moment longer than necessary.
27:27Hello, Charlie. You have a gentleman visitor. No funny business now.
27:33Yeah, fine.
27:37Charlie Hallroyd at your service.
27:40I'm not talking to anyone.
27:41Oh, you better have a lot to say. I've come to demand explanations for your betrayal.
27:46Demand.
27:50Blacken your eye, then see what you demand, old-timer.
27:56I owe you nothing.
27:57Are you sure about that?
28:03Perhaps you should reconsider.
28:10Even in here?
28:11And everywhere else you might hope to go.
28:13You can escape from the law, but never from us.
28:17If you value your life, you will tell me at once why you've deviated so far from our plan.
28:23If you know the plan, why don't you tell me what it was?
28:26If you wish me to detail your mistakes.
28:30You were to get the stupid girl to fall in love with you, an easy enough task for a man
28:35of your appearance and disposition.
28:37Indeed, you were chosen for this assignment as much for your looks and your skill with horses.
28:43Once you had romanced Miss Anderson in America, you were to convince her you wished to elope and steal her
28:49mother's jewels for a proper income.
28:51In reality, however, she was to be held hostage in exchange for her father's cooperation in a scheme I may
28:58not reveal.
28:59Well, I know anyway.
29:03Weems and Maggot mentioned keys they wanted the ambassador to hand over, but what they're meant to unlock I have
29:07no idea.
29:08And then there is the matter of the jewels?
29:10Weems and Maggot told me to give the jewels to them.
29:12And did Weems and Maggot also order you to try and sell the jewels to one Mr. Clarence Halfpenny?
29:18Did they order you to take the girl with you back to America?
29:21Did they order you to burn the hostages and themselves alive in the coffin factory whilst you escaped?
29:27Burned alive?
29:27What?
29:29No, no, Weems and Maggot.
29:30They took the gems and the other hostages and rode away with them.
29:33But neither Weems nor Maggot nor the jewels nor the doctor and the housekeeper ever arrived at the rendezvous point.
29:39They're not at Richmond?
29:40And are missing still.
29:41And you tried to sail back to America with Clara where you thought to set up a pretty household with
29:46the stolen jewels.
29:47No, I don't have the jewels. Weems and Maggot have them, okay?
29:52Wait, no, no.
29:54We left the coffin factory because there was a call on the telephone from the police.
29:58We were tipped off by your man on the inside. I swear, ask him!
30:01And were you a part of that telephone call? Or did you only hear one side of the conversation? Did
30:07you consider it was staged for your benefit, just so you would give out the jewels?
30:14Dancliffe!
30:14Dancliffe!
30:16Dancliffe!
30:18Wait.
30:20Wait, no, no, I...
30:22I did try to run away with Clara, sure, but...
30:25I fell in love with her, but I never... I never burned anyone!
30:29I... I...
30:30You have to believe me! I've told you everything!
30:32You have to believe me!
30:40Come this way, please.
30:44Mr. Bird Whistle.
30:45My wife, daughter, and her friend, Amelia.
30:49Bird Whistle, sir.
30:51A T, not a D.
30:53And no H, which would be silent in any case.
30:57My apologies, sir. My American ears sometimes fail me.
31:01Have you completed your inquiries?
31:03Only those which were leased in port.
31:04The police have already determined the jewels were missing, and that the arrested kidnapper did not have them.
31:10But I'm curious, I'm very curious as to why your wife's valuables were not an insecure English bank,
31:17instead of a box that could have been broken into by a child.
31:21As to why we had the jewels, they were stolen the very night we arrived from America.
31:25Then there's the little matter of the delay in reporting the theft after Clara went missing.
31:32Our daughter was abducted before we'd even unpacked, and at first we gave no thought to the gems.
31:38I instigated a search for them myself, hoping they were still present, and could be found before further disturbing my
31:43wife.
31:44Well, I'm sure your discomfort was sevenfold when you learned the coachman had found his way into your wife's bedroom
31:49at night, or was that not so unusual?
31:51I beg your pardon, sir.
31:53What the devil do you mean?
31:54Forgive me, please. There was no attempt to offend.
31:57I'm unfamiliar with how wealthy Americans conduct relations with their servants.
32:03They could hardly be called a relationship.
32:07Charlie worked for us in America, and came here some weeks before us, and he was in and out of
32:13the house and stables during that entire time.
32:16What trust you put in him?
32:19I'm sorry to have to say, but in retrospect, it appears careless.
32:24But wait. If the coachman was here some weeks before, how could he have known the jewels were in your
32:32bedroom?
32:32How the coachman knew anything is something to ask him.
32:35Do you want the Andersons to guess what he was thinking?
32:39Aren't you more interested in the facts?
32:41Well, my interest in the facts is all-consuming, and I will know them before I'm done.
32:45Now, young Miss Anderson, I must hear all your recollections you've so far withheld from the police.
32:52Because the kidnapping and theft were so brilliantly conceived and daringly executed.
32:57I hope you might shed some light on how those crimes were carried out.
33:04Did you fool him good and proper? Is the red thread unraveled?
33:09Frayed a little? We'll see.
33:12Oh, you can tell me. A problem shared is a problem half, as they say.
33:16Lest we each work our own side of the street on that point, you will have to trust me.
33:20Oddly, I don't think of us as trusting people. For example, did you really believe I would allow you to
33:25walk into my cell,
33:26ask for help, and then give me nothing in return?
33:29I've already said I would pursue our mutual interests, and to that end, please return my clothes. I must leave
33:35at once.
33:37Ah. Sherlock.
33:39I am at my leisure. I could, without difficulty, hold you here until nightfall, possibly beyond, unless you wish to
33:47leave this place dressed as a prisoner, with everyone knowing the true purpose of your visit.
33:51If you did that, I would stop at nothing to destroy you.
33:56Ah, but by then it would be too late for Watson and Mrs. Hudson.
33:59No.
34:00You should not be leaving here before agreeing to my terms.
34:05This will not do. This will not do at all.
34:09No sleeping draught could have wiped out the memory of your whole ordeal.
34:13I forbid you from using that insinuating tone with my daughter.
34:17Do not mistake me for one of your pet Pinkertons, nor some London bobby cowering before diplomatic immunity.
34:23I will have the truth, or you will be paid nothing for your claim.
34:27Father, please let me answer him.
34:33As I told you, sir, I went to sleep in my room, and I woke inside the coffin with no
34:38memory of how I got there.
34:40I was kept inside the coffin, except for...
34:44Those activities the body has no choice but to perform, and on these occasions I was blindfolded.
34:50And every second of my confinement, I was in terror for my life and my honour.
34:56Well, where was the coachman during this?
34:59Who could I possibly know?
35:00And when did he take you from the coffin factory? How was it you were on the brink of boarding
35:05a ship holding his hand?
35:07Holding his hand?
35:08Amelia, please don't.
35:09I was there. I saw her get pulled from a dark box into the blinding light of day.
35:15How could you expect her to resist a dangerous criminal who was dragging her to the gates of the London
35:21dock?
35:22Would you like to examine her knees? Is that what you came here to do?
35:25Course not.
35:26I see a ring on your finger. Tell me, Mr. Burt Whistle, did you court your wife by drugging her?
35:32Did you yank her to the altar in a coffin? Is that how you do things in the Burt Whistle
35:36household?
35:37That's quite enough, young lady. That's quite enough.
35:40Now, I apologise for the indelicate nature of my questions, but do understand.
35:46When there's tens of thousands of pounds at stake, I must be thorough.
35:50And thoroughness demands cruelty?
35:51Not at all.
35:54Amelia, is it?
35:55When you were present at the rescue?
35:58Perhaps I could speak to you in private.
36:01Well, of course you can. That's why we insisted on her being present.
36:06Allow me to show you out.
36:09Good day.
36:20You are a most unexpected sort of person. American, a mate, rescuer, stable lad, and attorney.
36:32You provided sound representation for Clara Anderson.
36:36I only said what you already know, which is the jewels have been stolen and can't be found.
36:43And there's so many places to look, such as the coffin factory, where at one point there were at least
36:48three hostages being held, and yet here you are covered in old ground.
36:51Don't be impertinent.
36:53Besides which, I know the factory to be owned by Lord Witherssey.
36:56And I assure you, Witherssey is in possession of a considerable fortune which he has no need to increase through
37:02kidnapping or thievery.
37:04Oh?
37:05He will eventually comply with my request for a list of his partners and employees.
37:10Eventually? Why don't you have that list already?
37:14Is it because you can't bully Lord Witherssey the way you just bullied a young helpless girl?
37:19I would bully when he drives me.
37:21I do have other arts. I could teach you my methods, provided you don't already know everything.
37:26You show promise as an investigator, and would likely take others off guard as you have me.
37:33Oh, think about it. For now, this is where we part ways.
37:36If you help me find the jewels, it could be worth a bonus of, ooh, shall we show you £100?
37:43A fifth of what you were offered. How generous. Good day, Mr. Burtwistle.
37:50She calls me a bully.
37:54Losing a child is difficult, especially when you've no one but yourself to blame.
37:59After my wife died, I was so concentrated on my work that I neglected my young son at an enormous
38:06cost.
38:07I remember the story. His name was, uh, Daniel.
38:10Or Dad, as we called him.
38:14Just before his tenth birthday, when I was away on the continent, Dan was arrested on some trifling matter.
38:23Connected to the theft of a clergyman's gold timepiece, as I recall.
38:27Gold plated.
38:31I like to think he meant it as a gift for me.
38:35In any case, during my absence, he was shipped off to Australia, under the Home Children Act.
38:40But surely your corruptive influence was great even then?
38:43His pardon was quick, yes. But in the time it took to reach him, he had... disappeared.
38:49Off to Melbourne, some said. None of my employees could find him.
38:54That was many years ago.
38:58Lately, however, there have been reports of a young Australian lad, newly arrived in London, who looks very much like
39:03a grown-up version of my Dan.
39:05Your story is almost endlessly Dickensian. Will I find my clothes, do you think, somewhere at the end of this
39:11plot?
39:12Well, I will return your suit, give my support in attacking this thread.
39:16Maintain my silence about your kidnapped friends, if you agree to find my son and bring him here for a
39:25visit.
39:25Well, cannot your own organisation track him down? Has your small army of familiars utterly failed you?
39:30I cannot let my colleagues know that my own son dare ignore me.
39:34I doubt if you can understand what it's like to have a child.
39:39I'm not without imagination.
39:42I am very concerned that, in their attempt to absorb my empire, the threads do no harm to my Dan.
39:49Very well. Very well, but I can accept no fee for this undertaking.
39:54I do not intend to offer you one.
39:56Well, it is usual when hiring a consulting detective.
39:59You're not being hired, you're being extorted.
40:01No, I'm doing you a favour and one much less onerous than I had anticipated.
40:05What is it, Dankworth?
40:06I'm sorry, your professorship.
40:08It's a bit of news that concerns us all.
40:18I'm sorry, Holmes, your presence here has become inconvenient. I regret you must rush away.
40:22Oh, we are well past the point. I might have rushed anywhere.
40:25Indeed, you have detained me almost past the point of human endurance.
40:29That is what this place was designed to do.
40:31Dankworth, please be certain Mr. Holmes is taken out in such a way that the contents of this note become
40:35clear to him.
40:40This way, sir.
40:42What's the problem, Mr. Dankworth? That's not the way I came in?
40:45No. That's the way you must leave.
40:52Come on. Come on, Doc. Get the other one. That's it.
40:56Right, use him down.
40:58He's dead, governor. Killed himself and saved us the trouble.
41:18Thank you, everyone.
41:19There's no problem.
41:23I gotta stay for it.
41:25I'm coming.
41:25This is round here, that one.
41:27All right.
42:09Let me up or I'll blow your head off.
42:14Lady's choice.
42:25Lady's choice.
42:27Lady's choice.
42:30Lady's choice.
42:42Lady's choice.
42:44Lady's choice.
42:45Lady's choice.
