All language subtitles for S07E05 - The Mazarin Stone

Watson,

what is the medical term
for an obsession?

I feel, you see,

that I must lay to rest a ghost

which has haunted me
for some time.

I shall be away for several weeks
in the highlands.

Meanwhile your patients

might be encouraged by seeing you
more often in your consulting room.

What about Baker street?

Poste Restante, Diogenes Club,
and the regulars, you know my methods.

Now I shall be watching you...

with my third eye.

One hundred and ten carats, sir.

Bigger than the Hope diamond.
Bigger even than the Koh-I-Noor.

No wonder the froggies are
anxious to get it back.

Closing in ten minutes, sir.

This is my sister.

Agnes.

Do you not perceive a strong
family resemblance between us?

It's the bone structure.

Peculiar to the Garridebs, be they
male or female, don't you know.

And this is Emily.

We're descended from
good Anglo-Saxon stock.

Ancient blood courses
through our veins.

I'm relieved to hear it.
Do please, please sit down.

Did you say, Garridebs?

Doctor, I'm not in the habit of...

She's not in the habit of
repeating herself.

I've just said that, Agnes dear.

My sister is a little hard of
hearing, don't you know.

One of my University Lecturers
was called Garridebs.

He remembers you, Doctor Watson.

You're related?

He is our brother, Nathan,

and the only reason for
our presence here today.

He's ill?

Not inordinately.

No.

Are either of you ladies ill?

The very thought.

My sister and I have followed a strict
regime of clean, healthy living,

since we were young girls.

My father wouldn't allow it.

And we insist that all
our gentlemen do the same.

Your gentlemen?

Our gentlemen tenants,
Doctor Watson.

Oh, I see. You em, you rent rooms.

Not to anybody, you understand.

My sister and I are most particular
about who we have under our roof.

Isn't that so, Emily?

I don't quite follow. if,

if no one is ill,
why have you come to see me?

I'd have thought that
was obvious, Doctor.

We have a case for
Mr. Sherlock Holmes.

Mycroft, wake up.

Cantlemere.

We don't often see you here
at the Diogenes.

Have you spoken to your brother
as requested?

Alas, no.

Well I don't need to remind you,
from whence the request came.

It is the Prime Minister's personal
wish that your brother

should employ his detective skills
to find the Mazarin Diamond

and return it to Whitehall
without delay.

I'm rather afraid that Sherlock is
unavailable at the present time.

Unavailable.

Inconvenient, I know. But he's engaged
on another case up in the highlands.

Doesn't expect to be back
for about a week.

Not good enough, Mycroft.

You really must try and keep
your brother on a shorter leash.

Do you know the history
of the Mazarin diamond?

Yes of course I do.

It was named after Cardinal
Jules Mazarin, a Chief Minister

during the reign of Louis
the Fourteenth.

It belongs now to
Her Majesty the Queen.

Yes, but it is soon to be returned
to France, where it belongs

as a goodwill gesture on the part
of the British people.

And I think you'll agree that
such a gesture

could only help to cement the
relationship between our two countries.

To go back on our word now
could spell diplomatic disaster.

The Prime Minister has asked that
your brother investigates this case

and Mr. Holmes has never,
ever let him down.

My dear Horatio,

if Sherlock were here I'm sure he'd
be more than delighted to assist.

At least, I think he would, but
he's not here, you see, so he can't.

But I could. Illuminate me.

He came to the house yesterday.

Who did?

The American.

An American came to your house
to visit your brother

and offered him
a large sum of money.

Five million dollars.

Five million dollars.

Fifteen million dollars to be
divided between three people.

With the same name, Garridebs.

But only male Garridebs
can share the fortune.

Like my brother.

And the American.

But it's as plain
as a pikestaff, Doctor.

He's not a real Garridebs at all.

He says he is, but we know
otherwise, don't we, Emily?

You do? How?

Bone structure.

He simply doesn't have it.

Of course, bone structure.

Whoever he is the man's
an absolute cad.

Mycroft, think of the country.

Imagine if the Mazarin diamond
was never found.

Or turns up again in a variety
of difference shapes.

Now, ladies if you'll excuse me,

there are patients waiting
to be seen.

Here is our card, Doctor.

You will speak on our behalf
won't you, Doctor, please?

I'll do what I can.

Five million dollars.

Thank you for listening, Doctor.

Come along, Agnes.

He's not as intelligent
as I thought he'd be.

The name Garridebs will almost
certainly mean nothing to you,

but I feel I should relay the particulars
of the most extraordinary tale.

How long had the diamond
been exhibited before its theft?

Nearly ten years.

Inside the same glass case?

Yes, as far as we know.

Has this lock ever been changed?

The whole gate would have to
be replaced, Mr. Holmes.

Nothing was left to chance.

Inspector, whoever took the diamond,
was able to walk in here

without any apparent difficulty.

Since there are no marks or scratches on
the lock to suggest that it was forced,

we may safely conclude
the thief had a key.

Once inside, it would have been
the work of a moment

to smash the case and
remove the stone.

I gather that you were unconscious at
the time of the theft. Is that correct?

That's right, sir.

I was just seeing out
the last of the public, and

getting ready to lock up for
the night when he came at me.

You saw him?

No, sir.

Before I could turn around,
he clobbered me and I went down.

You seem confident that your attacker
was a male who acted alone.

I suppose so, sir.
But I couldn't swear to it.

As far as I knew, the Count had gone
and the museum was empty.

The Count?

The Count Sylvius, was the last
member of the public

to leave the building
before the attack happened.

Count Negretto Sylvius.

We've spoken to him.
He remembers seeing nothing untoward.

He would.

The Commissioner himself has asked me
not to pursue that line of enquiry.

The Count was lucky sir.

If he'd stayed any longer
he might have got clobbered as well.

Here he is Nathan.

Oh dear, oh, he hasn't has he?

Yes, he has.

Ah, young er, er, Watkinson.

Nice to see you again
after all these years.

Pay no regard, Doctor.

Sit you down, sit you down,
young Watkins.

A species of the family,
Vespertilionidae.

Found them in a subterranean
cavern

in my travels in Sofala in South
East Africa, in my younger days.

I don't get out much now, of course.
Hands, and legs aren't what they were.

Nathan, Doctor Watson is acting
for Mr. Sherlock Holmes.

He has come to talk about the other
Mr. Garridebs, not your hands and legs.

Oh, here it is.

Tell him what the American
has told us.

Our visitor started by explaining

that anyone from Kansas
in the United States of America

would recognise the name
Alexander Hamilton Garridebs.

He had no kith nor kin.

But he took a kind of pride
in the queerness of the name,

and that's what brought us together.

One day I had a visit
from the old man,

he was tickled to death to find someone
else with the same name and dead set

on finding out if there were
any more Garridebs in the world.

So, he asked me to find another.

I said I was a busy man and

couldn't spend my life hiking round
the world in search of other Garridebs.

But when he died about a year later,

he left behind the queerest will
ever filed in the State of Kansas.

His property was divided into three
parts, of which I was to have one,

on condition that I found two Garridebs
who would share the remainder.

Five million dollars each
if it's a cent.

But we can't lay a finger on it
until we all three stand in a row.

I don't believe a word of it.

Sir, there isn't one
in the whole of the United States.

I went through it with a fine toothed
comb and never a Garridebs could I catch.

Then, I decided to
try the old country,

and sure enough, there was your name
in the London Telephone Directory.

Three adult men, sir.

That's what it specified in Alexander
Hamilton Garrideb' will.

Two down. One to go.

Five million dollars. Hallelujah.

Unparalleled good fortune.

Female relatives are disqualified.

Surely, there must be some other
Garridebs in the world.

What do you think?

Do you believe this man's story,
Mr. Garridebs?

Without a doubt.
He has an honest face.

The man's a rogue.

Your sisters think otherwise.

Emily and Agnes are inclined to
read too much romantic fiction.

Inclined to find shadows
where there should only be light.

Nonsense.

Thank you for explaining,
Mr. Garridebs.

It's been a great pleasure
to see you again, sir.

Nathan, you silly old...

Well, you'll just have to
draw your own conclusion.

If, as seems probable,
the American Garridebs is a rogue,

then you may already have seen
the last of him. But please,

please let me know
it there are any further developments.

Oh, we shall.

Goodbye, sir.

Good day to you then.
Young Watkins.

Poppycock. Balderdash.

Just think what I could do
with five million dollars.

Why, I have the nucleus
of a national collection.

I shall be the Hans Sloane
of my age.

Mycroft Holmes. Well, well...

First the police, and now you.

You come to find out where
I'm hiding the Mazarin Stone?

I didn't expect a confession,
Count.

Then you won't be disappointed.

Please, if you wish.

Be careful. It has a hair trigger.

They were a gift from
the Princess of Wales.

Such balance, such workmanship.

A beautiful thing fits strangely
in the wrong hand.

Yes, she is extraordinarily
beautiful.

She?

The diamond.

I must say I'm surprised
no one has been tempted to

steal her away
from Whitehall before.

I'm sure the temptation
was there, Count.

All that was lacking was
audacity and opportunity.

Audacity and opportunity.
And motive?

Avariciousness and greed
are motives, Count.

I'm sure you're familiar with them.

The police are satisfied that
I was away from the building

when the theft occurred.

Que sera sera.

I'm following my own line
of enquiry,

as my brother did
with Miss Minnie Warrender,

when she accused you of
stealing her jewels.

My conscience is clear.

Our past is an unresolved duel,
Mycroft.

You may hold some personal
grievance against me.

But that gives you no right to
sully my good name and reputation.

This is between us, Count.

You...

And me.

Do forgive me. Hair trigger.

Should I wait, sir?

No, no. That won't be necessary.

Right you are, sir.

Walk on.

My dear Holmes,

I agree that five million dollars
is an impossibly generous offer.

For the sake of my old tutor
I hope it doesn't prove to be false.

I'm sorry to disturb you, Doctor.
There's a Mr. Garridebs to see you.

Thank you Mrs. Hudson. Show him in.

Forgive me,
I was expecting someone else.

Mr. Nathan Garridebs, I suppose.

You must be Doctor Watkins.

Close.

What can I do for you,
Mr. Garridebs?

For a start you can stop interfering in
matters that don't rightly concern you.

I'm sorry?

I saw the old man and
his sisters today

and they told me you were acting
on behalf of Mr. Sherlock Holmes.

That's no reflection on you,
Mr. Garridebs.

Mr. Holmes and I have means of
getting information

which is not normally available
to the public.

I don't want the police butting
into a private matter.

Surely, the sooner we find
a third male Garridebs,

the better for all concerned?

Well, that puts it different.

If you're content to help us
find the third man,

I can't see any harm in that.

I hope that I put your mind at rest,
Mr. Garridebs.

John Garridebs.

I'm sorry if I was a bit short with
you back there, Doctor Watkins.

Watson. That's quite all right.

I'm fairly new to this country

and haven't gotten used to
your English ways yet.

I guess I must seem impatient
to a man like yourself.

Urbane and unsophisticated.

Good luck with your search,
Mr. Garridebs.

I'll be in touch
if I discover anything useful.

Much obliged, Doctor.

Much obliged.

John Garridebs has a English coat,
frayed at the elbow and trousers

bagged at the knees with
at least a years wear.

Despite what he says I'll wager that
he hasn't just arrived in this country.

You would hardly refuse to trade with
someone who possesses a diamond of

exceptional quality.

That depends, Mr. Mycroft.

Oh, on what?

The provenance of the diamond,
of course. Its legality.

Even if it were brought to you by
a respectable member of society?

Her Majesty could offer me
the Crown Jewels

and I'd still refuse to do
business with her.

Strange to think that pieces
of crystallised carbon

could be the cause of such great
human happiness and tragedy.

Some things are better said
in private, Mr. Mycroft,

you do understand.

I think we understand each other.
You have a reputable business.

You can't afford to make mistakes.

You were offered a diamond.

Yes. I was interested, of course.

He was willing to pay
a lot of money.

Who was?

Tell me.

The Count.

And the name?

Count Sylvius.

Well that's no good to me, Ikey.
I need them within two days.

With the greatest respect, sir,

only Roger Presbury could have
cut your diamond in less than a week.

And he took his skills with him
to the grave.

Well then I'd better find someone alive
to do the work while there's still time.

What can you do?

Who was Roger Presbury?

A true genius.

In his hands a lifeless,
shapeless stone

became a living,
breathing work of art.

Diamonds were his life.

And his death?

Indeed.
He was murdered five years ago

during a quarrel about some gems.

Ah, such a tragedy.

Did you see the Count's diamond?

Alas, no. But he did give me
a description of it.

He described a round stone of
finest purify and colour.

Approximately
one hundred carats in weight.

A hundred and ten, Mr. Mycroft.

But a little too close for comfort to
a description of the Mazarin Stone.

I've taken up enough of your time.

Not at all, Mr. Mycroft sir.
Not at all.

Ladies.

Ladies I've got good news.

Ladies, tell your brother
I've got good news.

Your antipathy for the Count
is well known,

unlike your reasons. He brings the
higher echelons of our Society

into disrepute.

In your opinion.

I suppose you realise that the Count
is among the guests at a levee

at St. James's Palace
tomorrow morning.

He should be serving
a prison sentence.

And the Prince and Princess
of Wales

are unlikely to entertain suspected
criminals, are they?

Drive on George.

Enchanting.

You are an incorrigible flatterer,
Count Sylvius.

Bertie will be most disturbed
it he knew of your attentions.

Your most humble servant, Ma'am.

A beautiful thing sits strangely
in the wrong hands.

There.

"Howard Garridebs. Constructor of
Agricultural Machinery."

"Binders, reapers' steam and
hand plows, drills, harrows,"

"farmer's carts, buckboards,
and all other appliances."

"Estimates for Artesian Wells.
Apply Grosvenor Buildings, Aston."

John, Nathan and now Howard.

A third Garridebs.

Read the advertisement again,
Doctor.

And look at the spelling.

Howard Garridebs. Constructor of
Agricultural Machinery.

Binders, reapers' steam
and hand plows.

And how do you spell "ploughs"?

P - L - O - W - S.
That's American spelling.

It could be a printer's error.

Buckboards Artesian Wells.
In Birmingham.

So, you're implying that
this advertisement

has been written by an American.
John Garridebs.

So, this Howard Garridebs
simply doesn't exist.

And yet he has asked Nathan
to meet him in his office alone

tomorrow night in Birmingham.

Now something is wrong, Doctor.
Terribly wrong.

Count Negretto Sylvius.

'Gameshot, sportsman,
man about town, confidence trickster.'

Ah, please, sir...

Here it is.

And now diamond thief.

I'll have him. I'll have him.

You can't go in there.

It's quite all right, Mrs. Hudson.

Dr. Watson.

The Count is expected.

Well, you might have warned me.

I want to talk to this man
in private.

Stay where you are, Watson.

You have gone out of your way
to annoy me.

You have set your creatures
upon my track.

My creatures.

I assure you no.

Two days ago, it was a cabman.

Today, some booming old fool
at the Palace.

You give my little impersonations
too much praise.

So, you admit that you have
dogged me. Why?

I want the Mazarin Stone.

You have come here to find out
how much I know

and how far my removal is
absolutely essential.

I know everything except one thing
which you are now about to tell me.

Where is the Mazarin Stone?

How the devil should I be able to
tell you where she is?

Do you know what is kept
in this notebook, Count?

You. You are all here.

Every action of your vile
and dangerous life.

You know you will make
nothing of that.

Uh, here is the robbery on the train
de Luc de Riviera.

And here, oh, same year, Count,

is the forged cheque
to the Credit Lyonnais.

No, you're wrong there.

Then I am right on the others.

Now, Count. You are a card player.

When the other fellow has
all the trumps,

it saves time to put down
one's hand.

What has all this to do with
the Mazarin Stone?

I have the cabbie who took you
to Whitehall

and brought you away again.

I have the attendant
who saw you at the jewel case.

I have the jeweller who refused
to cut the stone up.

That's the hand I play from.

But one card is missing.

The Queen of Diamonds.

You're wasting time
if you believe I have her.

Continue to dog me
if it amuses you.

Don't amuse me.

Remember, hair trigger.

How can he hope to dispose of it?

The jeweller said it would
take weeks to cut up the stone.

Only a man called Presbury
could have done it in less time.

And he is dead but the man who
killed him may still be alive.

What does he mean
by "hair trigger?"

He means I won't die in my bed.

These are post-mortem photographs
of Roger Presbury.

Rather unpleasant I'm afraid.

You must be used to seeing
such sights, Doctor.

Ah yes, indeed.

And what can you tell us of
his murderer, Inspector?

A man called Winter.

I've got his photograph here
in our Rogue's Gallery somewhere.

Found guilty of manslaughter,
sentenced to five years.

Released two months ago.

Here he is.
A native of Chicago.

James Winter, alias Morecroft,
alias Evans,

alias,

John Garridebs...

That the man you know
as John Garridebs

once worked for Roger Presbury.

It's quite extraordinary, really...

Get away, get away.

My dear Watson,
Presbury dead 5 years.

Identify Garrideb's lodger.
Holmes.

Mycroft.

My god, I thought it was you.

This is proof he feels my boot

very close to his backside.

It must be very wearisome for you trying
to keep this place tidy, Mrs. Hudson.

My sister and I are
quite used to clutter.

It seems that John Garridebs
is an imposter,

his name is Winter. I told you, Emily.
I didn't like his eyes.

It was the bone structure, dear.

He simply didn't have it.

A telegram arrived a moment ago.

Thank you Mrs. Hudson.

Now ladies please.

Please come to workshop.
Urgent information. Ikey.

It is very important that, can you
tell me about your American lodger

and why he left your household.

Well, he didn't leave.

He simply disappeared.

Do you remember when?

When? Oh, dear.

Four or five years ago.

Isn't that right, Emily?

Give or take a few months,
yes dear.

Then your brother took over
his room.

How clever of you to know that,
Doctor.

Miss Garridebs, Miss Garridebs.

And Miss Garridebs.

Watson, would you be good enough
to escort these ladies home?

I have urgent business to attend to.
I shall follow you later.

I will try to persuade Nathan
not to travel to Birmingham.

We should be so grateful.

It can cause irreparable damage
to his health.

Forgive me, ladies.

Two of the finest detectives it's
ever been my privilege to meet.

Oh, such a card.

I really am very sorry.

What's done is done, Mr. Mycroft.

Van Seddar is in London.

He plans to return to Amsterdam
before tomorrow night.

Who is Van Seddar?

He has a boat down on the Thames.
I don't know where.

He will take... he will take
the Mazarin Stone to Amsterdam.

Are you sure the stone
hasn't been cut.

Ah well, you see it can be cleaved.

Split down the grain
with a single blow.

Would Presbury's assistant have
the necessary skill

to cleave a large diamond?

He may convince others
that he has.

But not me.

The man is a criminal,
Mr. Garridebs.

He doesn't exist, dear.

Poppycock...

We've been trying to tell you that.
Haven't we, Emily?

Nonsense. You're jealous because I'm
about to inherit five million dollars.

I've no right to insist, but it is
my professional advice, Mr. Garridebs,

that you should not
travel to Birmingham.

Out of my way, young Watkins.

Unless you wish to
be trampled underfoot.

When I return tomorrow,
I shall be a wealthy man.

Euston.

Doctor. My sister and I shall
have to retire shortly.

There are plenty of spare beds
if you wish to sleep, Doctor Watson.

Please, don't worry about me,
Miss Garridebs.

I'll just stay there.

Oh... Well, there are
plenty of cushions.

Let's plump them up a little.
I'm sure...

No, please.
Don't let me keep you awake.

I'll just draw the curtains
for you.

No, no, please. It's alright.

You will help yourself to tea and
cake, won't you, Doctor.

Oh, thank you very much.

Or there's a little sherry
if you prefer. Don't hesitate.

In fact, I might just...

Come on, Emily dear.

Then we'll bid you goodnight then.

Goodnight.

All clear is it?

Yes.

Splendid.

What an extraordinary room.

I'm afraid Mr. Garridebs is
on his way to Birmingham.

Oh that's excellent.

This is much more

serious than I had thought,
Watson.

You may need this.

Dowse the candles, Watson.

Is that sherry?

Yes.

Not bad this sherry.

James Winter, I presume.

Watson.

Are you alright?

I saw the gun in his hand.

I didn't...

You've got the wrong man.

I think not, Mr. Winter.

It was Presbury's idea.

Presbury is dead.

When he was alive, sir,

you've got to believe me.

He went to the museum every week
for three years,

all the while figuring out a way to
steal the Mazarin Stone and hack it up.

Making the duplicate key was easy.

Before he had a chance to use it,
he died.

He was murdered for that key.

Not by me, sir.

I'm sorry, Doctor.

I told the jury so at the trial.
It was some argument over jewellery,

but they didn't believe me.

Did you steal the Mazarin Stone?

No, sir. I did not.

I apprehended you, I'm sorry...

Then who did?

Presbury's murderer.

The only other man who knew
this plan to steal it.

The only man cool enough to take
a diamond out of Whitehall.

And the man for whom you spent
five years of your life behind bars.

It suited us both to work together.

Please, let me help you.

He could steal it and,
I could use Presbury's equipment

to cut it up fast.

But Nathan Garridebs was
in the way.

Yeah, I was the only one who knew
the location of this workshop.

Can you wonder that
I wanted to get to it.

And can you wonder that when
I found this crazy boob of a bug-hunter

squatting right on top of it,
and never quitting his room,

why I had to do all I could
to shift him?

Easy.

It would have been a whole lot
easier to put him away,

but I was a soft hearted guy.

As your Lord Byron said,

"he was the mildest mannered man,
whoever cut a throat."

Where is the Mazarin Stone?

My associate is
bringing it here with him.

But I guess now,
we'll have to forego cleaving it

before shipping it to Amsterdam.

By Van Seddar?

Yes.

It's already
on its way to Amsterdam.

Your associate has betrayed you,
just as he's betrayed so many others.

He and I made a deal,

and a gentleman always
keeps his word.

One more charm, Van Seddar.

No, please, please.

Shall I get a doctor, doctor?

No, no, just get me a towel and
some water, please, thank you.

Your "associate" has
used you, Winter.

He'd no intention of allowing
you to cleave the stone.

You'd served your purpose.

Now, where is Van Seddar's boat?

Come on.

Brother mine.

Bravo.

(Princess of Wales) Je suis enchantée.

(French President) Merci bien, madame.
