00:00:37Another letter from Werner. I never reply, but they keep coming.
00:00:47I don't see the Strand. Where is it?
00:00:50On me?
00:00:50I am on the precipice of uncovering a pattern of crime across London spanning many months and involving many men.
00:00:57The missing paper cannot be a coincidence.
00:00:59That's preposterous.
00:01:01My dear fellow, life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man can invent.
00:01:06Well, life used your newspaper to wipe its posterior, so after that unpleasant discovery this morning, I disposed of it.
00:01:12But in lieu of the Strand, perhaps I can deliver you something equally tantalizing.
00:01:16I have just returned from a patient of mine, Captain Stemwick, who...
00:01:20No, no, that will not do. Grab your coat, Dr. Watson. Let us hope nobody has collected the dustbin.

00:22:16We're looking for a cactus needle in a haystack.
00:22:19Hmm.
00:22:20A spine in a book stack?
00:22:22No, come on, Watson.
00:22:23Think.
00:22:52I like bookshops.
00:22:54One of the few spots in London where you were shunned for making a racket.
00:23:01Didn't you once tell me that answers usually lie in plain sight?
00:23:06Oh.
00:23:07Yeah.
00:23:07Yeah.
00:23:31Yeah.
00:23:34Yeah.
00:34:25I'll be off.
00:34:26I'll be off.
00:36:33I know who he is, of course.
00:36:34and seemed unsteady as he approached but since then we've never spoken i often see him staring
00:36:40through the shop window sometimes i wonder what he thinks about that would edge such longing onto his face
00:37:32you
00:39:14Mr Barnes, I know what you did, and I know why you did it.
00:39:18I'm sorry, Mr Holmes. I can't hear you very well from behind the door.
00:39:26You ordered a cactus from the plant catalogue and then left it for Mrs Fleming as a gift.
00:39:32You place flowers in the window to get her attention and wear high heels to appear taller and more desirable.
00:39:39You are her secret admirer.
00:39:46I couldn't read this morning's edition of The Strand because it was covered in soil and spines.
00:39:52I know you dropped a cactus on it and then fled.
00:39:56Barnes, it's Dr Watson.
00:39:58Listen, rest assured we are not interested in disclosing your personal affairs to anyone, including Mrs Fleming.
00:40:05Please come out.
00:40:09All right, then.
00:40:14What happened then?
00:40:16I was on my way back from the post office, having picked up the cactus and some books.
00:40:21It was quite an awkward package. Heavy, too.
00:40:23And when I got to your door, I dropped the cactus on your paper.
00:40:27Forgive me.
00:40:27I needed that paper to prove a theory and prevent a crime.
00:40:31Your actions were rather disruptive.
00:40:34Your clumsiness carrying the post is matched only by the clumsiness of your romantic gesture.
00:40:39Oh, it's true.
00:40:41I am useless with this sort of thing.
00:40:43I'm not even sure if Mrs Fleming noticed.
00:40:49I have neither the experience nor the interest in navigating the finer sex and their peculiarities.
00:40:55Do what you will.
00:40:56Oh, right. Yes, of course.
00:40:59So, at last, we return to the matter of the paper.
00:41:03I'm investigating a string of burglaries.
00:41:06Did you perhaps read of any before the edition was spoiled?
00:41:10I don't recall, but you're welcome to read our copy for yourself.
00:41:14You had an issue of the strand here all along?
00:41:17Well, naturally.
00:41:19I am a bookseller.
00:41:20I have a subscription to every magazine and newspaper in London.
00:41:23So, you ought to be familiar with the concept of burying the lead.
00:41:27I...
00:41:28Oh, no.
00:41:29My apologies, Mr Holmes.
00:41:31I'll make it up to you however I can.
00:41:34I am an expert on obscure languages and translation and...
00:41:37Yes, yes, okay.
00:41:39Just give me the paper.
00:41:53Here we go.
00:42:20Come, Dr. Watson. Let us put this matter behind us.
00:42:24Farewell, Mr. Barnes. I hope to hear good news about you and Mrs. Fleming.
00:42:38Well, that was an utter waste of time. An assassination did seem rather unlikely.
00:42:44There was supposed to be another burglary. I was certain of it.
00:42:48Hmm.
00:42:49Something you wish to say, Doctor?
00:42:52No. Well, only that you have a remarkable faculty for deduction and pattern recognition.
00:42:58And that perhaps, if ill-applied...
00:43:01I see things that are not there.
00:43:04Yes. It is London. There will always be burglaries. Doesn't have to mean anything.
00:43:10So it seems. Forgive me. Without something to occupy my mind, I turn into an entirely different animal.
00:43:18Which brings us back to my news from earlier. I think I have a case for you. A real one.
00:43:23Truly?
00:43:24Indeed. Though perhaps not as thrilling as your stories from Cordona, a patient of mine, Captain Stenwick, told me that
00:43:32his servant disappeared.
00:43:33I said I knew just the man to help. What do you say?
00:43:37Oh, Watson.
00:43:39Yes. I know it's not the most tantalizing mystery, nor the story to launch my writing career.
00:43:46But it's brilliant. Let's go.
00:43:49Oh, good. Well, his house is nearby. Come.
00:43:53Let's go.
00:44:34Not much further now.
00:44:37Not much further now.
00:44:39Not much further now.
00:44:48Is this lousy attitude of yours because of my altercation with Inspector Lockhart? Did he put you up to this?
00:44:55Sir, the Inspector has nothing to do with it. I'm telling you the same thing I tell anyone seeking a
00:45:00missing person.
00:45:00Ahem. Good day, gentlemen. Forgive the intrusion.
00:45:04Captain Stenwick, this is my colleague Sherlock Holmes, the consulting detective I told you about.
00:45:09At last, a professional. This useless officer refuses to do anything about Kimmy here, my missing servant.
00:45:16What was your name again? I shall be certain to inform your superiors.
00:45:20Sergeant Ruffles. And it's my superiors who made this decision, sir.
00:45:29Have there been other disappearances lately?
00:45:32Of course, here and there. But when life is tough and opportunity comes knocking, you can't blame those who answer.
00:45:41Why has the police department decided not to help?
00:45:44We investigate murders, thefts, fraud, arson. Real crimes. A servant walking away from his master is not our highest priority.
00:45:53That said, if we find Kimmy here breaking the law, we'll be sure to notify Captain Stenwick.
00:45:57Now, I must be off. Best of luck in your search.
00:46:00You heard that, didn't you? The way that man spoke to me. I shall need your written testimony. Then we
00:46:06can lodge a complaint.
00:46:07Captain, perhaps Mr. Holmes' time is better spent learning about your servant, so that he may begin his investigation.
00:46:15Ah, yes. Quite right. Fire away.
00:46:21Tell me about Kimmy here.
00:46:23He's foreign. A Maori. All the way from New Zealand. Biggest man you've ever seen. And as strong as two.
00:46:31Dark hair and fearsome tattoos.
00:46:34He doesn't speak a whit of English. Never bothered to learn. But I made do with pointing. I invested a
00:46:40lot of money in him, so he must be found.
00:46:46When did you last see your servant?
00:46:48Kimmy here normally brings me the morning papers, but yesterday I had to get them myself.
00:46:53He must have escaped the night before yesterday.
00:46:59May I see your servant's bedroom?
00:47:01His shack is in the garden. You can't miss it.
00:47:04Did you search the room?
00:47:05Of course. But only to check he wasn't lying dead inside.
00:47:08Everything seemed normal at a glance.
00:47:14Is there any reason Kimmy here may have left?
00:47:17I should think not. He had all he could have wanted.
00:47:20Gainful employment, new clothes, and all the cabbage he could eat.
00:47:28I take it this is the first time Kimmy here has vanished?
00:47:32Undoubtedly. The man seemed terrified of the city.
00:47:35I think it was all the noise. He never left this estate.
00:47:37Should he cause any damage, I will bear the responsibility.
00:47:41For it was I who rescued him from savagery and brought him here to England in the first place.
00:47:47Did Kimmy here make off with anything of value?
00:47:51Heavens no. I would have mentioned it to Sergeant Ruffles.
00:47:55Still, he must have fled with some money on his person.
00:47:58No, no. I kept his wages in my safe. For security.
00:48:02All right, Captain. I think I have enough to get started.
00:48:04We shall first take a look around the mansion.
00:48:06Go ahead. I'll be here, mentally drafting my complaint.
00:48:10From the inside of your life, we shall be able to deal with an attack ofhumans.
00:48:40I don't know.
00:49:19A Maori nose flute. Ngurus, they're called.
00:49:26Clothes made of hessian. Is Stenwick really so miserly?
00:49:45Button chops. The remains of a meal.
00:50:00A heavy chemical odour.
00:50:03Lend me your nose, Doctor.
00:50:05Ah, I'll never forget that smell after my time in Afghanistan.
00:50:09That's an opioid, Mr. Holmes, a narcotic.
00:50:19The ashes are long since cold.
00:50:30No air coming through it.
00:50:46Is this a Tanifa? A Maori water spirit? Or something else?
00:50:53Either way, it's giving me chills.
00:51:12Impressive. The sack of grain retained the shape of an impact.
00:51:15Someone hit their head here.
00:51:27I don't know.
00:51:47I don't know.
