I guess we didn't solve
the crime of the century.

00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,760
The bank of England. Someone
brilliantly anticipated my actions

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:13,480
By bringing the press with
him into the vault, Whitlock

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,477
made sure the world would
know about the robbery and

6
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,640
launched a financial panic
allowing the thread to buy the

7
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,360
bank for pennies on the pound.

00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,640
Why steal plans for a

00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,240
I have already solved
quite a few of your

of headaches and dizziness,

would be quicker

00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:27,920
could... he could help me.

00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,160
Are you certain?

00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,080
Yes.

as soon as I'm well.

Don't worry for me.

00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:43,440

00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:45,680
Of course.

00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:46,800
No worrying.

No worrying.

00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,920
For the sake of the young
woman's honor, I implore you...

92
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,440
I can't stop seeing that, John.

93
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,480
Indeed, I have other
plans in mind altogether.

94
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,320
The next morning, your
mother left no message.

95
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,120
By the time I
arrived at her room,

96
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,240
she was on a ship
back to America.

97
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,160
Why? That is the unsolved

98
00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:29,680
mystery of which I spoke.

99
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,080
I thought perhaps your
mother's concern for me

100
00:04:32,280 --> 00:04:33,080
caused her to leave.

101
00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:35,120
Had we married, we
would have been shunned

102
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,280
by many reputable people.

103
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,160
An expression I
use without irony,

104
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:44,480
but I failed to recognize...
She had morning sickness.

105
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,000
It was not openly
discussed at the time,

106
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,800
and I knew... I
knew... I knew very

107
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:49,880
little about it.

108
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,640
Mama left to save your career.

109
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,520
Or her child, deducing
she could not rescue both,

110
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:57,760
she chose you.

111
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,640
Also, the weapon she designed
was rejected by our government,

112
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,320
or else Lady Violet never
showed the plans to her father.

113
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:08,320
Your mother was aware that
our wedding could well draw

114
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,200
the lurid scrutiny of the press.

115
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,800
I suggested retiring to
the country to raise bees.

116
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,360
Raise bees?

117
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,560
Why does everyone always
repeat the idea in that tone

118
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,360
What happened to the need
for irrefutable evidence?

119
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:25,440
Nothing.

120
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,400
It's just, this evening
can well prove dangerous.

121
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,400
While the outcome
remains in doubt,

122
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,360
I wanted you to
have all the facts.

123
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,960
If all goes well, we can
return to this conversation

124
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:45,840
once the danger has passed.

125
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,280
I no longer need to wear a
gun with my formal attire.

126
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:50,600
I've waited this long.

127
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:53,200
I can wait another day.

128
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:57,360
One question, though.

129
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,640
If you're able to force
Chief Inspector Whitlock

130
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:00,440
into cooperating...

131
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,440
Oh, Whitlock, Whitlock.

132
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,760
He duped me, he duped me, and
I shall take great pleasure

133
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:06,960
in returning the favor.

134
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,800
Could we have Lady Violet
arrested for Mama's murder?

135
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,240
I think it more likely she
hired someone for the purpose,

136
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,080
provided the weapon rather than
carrying out the deed herself.

137
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,480
Besides, the crime was
committed in America, not here.

138
00:06:20,840 --> 00:06:23,640
Still, Whitlock may yet
implicate Lady Violet

139
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,200
in other equally
horrifying offenses.

140
00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:27,960
If only we knew why
she needed the keys

00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,120
from the American embassy.

142
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:31,400
Yes, and what they unlock.

143
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,800
The Moriarty boy also has
plans for this evening.

144
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,400
He's likely to seek you
out, but to find you...

145
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:39,000
I know.

146
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:40,800
My carriage awaits.

147
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,197
I've always wanted to
say it, but that...

Whoa. Steady on those heels.

shoes aren't going to be

00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:49,440
for betraying the law.

182
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:50,800
Good evening, Chief Inspector.

183
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,760
I do hope I'm not interrupting
your travel plans.

184
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,480
I noticed a ticket for
a late train to Dover

185
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,080
and another for a trip to
Calais on your whole table.

186
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,320
I'm embarking on a
well-deserved holiday.

187
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,960
What the hell are you
doing in my house, Swan?

188
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,920
Oh, I thought the recording
would make the reason

189
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,520
for my presence here
incredibly clear.

190
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,237
It is against the law
to listen to a man's

191
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:13,320
telephone calls.

192
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,120
Well, everything about
this conversation

193
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:16,480
was preserved legally.

194
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,560
I have a warrant here, signed
by the Prime Minister himself,

195
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,760
allowing me to record all
conversations on your telephone.

196
00:09:23,560 --> 00:09:25,400
And yet you play this
recording for me,

197
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:26,760
and not Lord Salisbury.

198
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,080
I wonder why.

199
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:32,720
Because in return for
one-fifth of the American

200
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,920
ambassador's missing gems,
which you recovered from

201
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,880
Lord Withersea's estate
after his suicide,

202
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,240
I would give this
recording to you,

203
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:42,840
Not the Prime Minister.

204
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,440
I might have considered that
offer had I plans to return,

205
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,880
but my holiday could easily
extend to the rest of my life.

206
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,480
So I could just shoot you
for breaking in tonight.

207
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,680
You could kill
Detective Swan and me.

208
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,080
Holmes. We do, of
course, have several

209
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,680
copies of that recording, as
well as evidence connecting

210
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,920
you to the criminal syndicate
known as the Red Thread.

211
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,400
I know where the police
have been placed around this

212
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:11,800
entire city this evening.

213
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,560
They will presently be occupied
with much bigger problems

214
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,720
than the murder of a
non-entity and a past his prime

215
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,880

216
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,840
Are you sure you know
where the police are?

217
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,600
You seem terribly
surprised to find Detective

218
00:10:24,680 --> 00:10:25,840
Swan in your parlour.

219
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,000
You'd be more surprised if you
managed to fire that gun before

220
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:29,320
we finished this conversation.

221
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,120
Perhaps we should base your
next course of action on

222
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,360
whether you prefer a prison
cell swinging from the

223
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:36,680
neck until dead.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

225
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,800
I may be past my prime, but
I've never been more celebrated.

226
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,520
What event could possibly
overshadow my murder?

227
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,560
Perhaps the escape of the
carriage drivers who tried

228
00:10:58,640 --> 00:10:59,600
to rob the Bank of England?

229
00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:02,520
They were rebels, hoping
to crush the empire's

230
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:03,920
financial systems.

231
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:05,880
Fools. And only slightly worse

232
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,120
than Parliament, filled
with politicians and

233
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:09,480
their petty ambitions.

234
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,800
War will sweep them away and
return power and authority to

235
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,720
the crown where it belongs.

236
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,160
As for the wretched drivers,
no, they will not be escaping.

237
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,640
I merely struck their
names from the lists of

238
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,680
known revolutionaries
and introduced them

239
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,280
to Dan Moriarty.

240
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,920
Or, if you prefer his
alias, Michael Wylie.

241
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:31,920
Michael Wylie?

242
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:33,077
But, sir, that's
the clerk that Miss

243
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:34,160
Rojas demanded to see.

244
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:35,720
Swan! The criminal
confesses to

245
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,200
us, not the other way around.

246
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,760
You know, leaving the country
with the ambassador's jewels

247
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,440
makes you look less
like a royalist and

248
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,520
more like a criminal escaping
with an enormous bribe

249
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,280
for your unique assistance.

250
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,560
No one else could have ordered
so many custom-made carriages

251
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,880
ostensibly designed
for the transport

252
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,840
of the criminally
insane, or employed

253
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,640
these carriages for the
supposed transfer of the gold

254
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,480
from the ship to
the bank, or indeed,

255
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,120
allowed me to inspect one
such carriage in great detail.

256
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:05,320
Inspect it?

257
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,120
The carriage nearly
ran you down.

258
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,960
Young Moriarty was absolutely
furious for having to save you.

259
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:12,320
It should have been unnecessary.

260
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,480
Both men were meant to abandon
the kidnapping and flee.

261
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,360
The young Moriarty
failed to reflect

262
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,560
on how much a hardened
criminal might sacrifice

263
00:12:22,680 --> 00:12:23,800
for the honor of killing me.

264
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,440
Oh, that reporter you
brought along to the bank,

265
00:12:26,560 --> 00:12:28,440
that was to instigate
the market crash.

266
00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:29,560
Isn't it obvious?

267
00:12:30,560 --> 00:12:31,960
Well, I've been far
more instrumental

268
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,160
than you seem to understand.

269
00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:37,760
In many ways, I
am the Red Thread,

270
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,280
and through my office,
I have kept the rest

271
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,640
of my confederates
from ever being caught

272
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:44,600
committing a crime.

273
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,120
They will prove grateful.

274
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,320
And for interrupting my escape,

275
00:12:49,560 --> 00:12:52,280
I expect the Red Thread
to murder your - um...

to her as your maid?

358
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:21,120
I don't know the steps.

359
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,080
This is not what I
think of as dancing.

360
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,000
You watched it being taught.

361
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,000
It's quite simple, really.

362
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:29,160
Let me show you.

363
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,200
I can't carry on
and instruct you.

364
00:18:40,120 --> 00:18:41,120
Move with the music.

365
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:42,600
One, two, three.

366
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,200
One, two, three.

367
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:50,600
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.

368
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,000
See?

369
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:53,560
Easy.

370
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:55,600
It's on.

371
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,880
I was with Clara greeting
guests all evening,

372
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,200
and yet I missed your arrival.

373
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,120
I was already here,
in a small party,

374
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,280
celebrating our successful
intervention in saving the bank.

375
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,120
I'm surprised Mr. Holmes
wasn't invited.

376
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,200
Wasn't he at all helpful?

377
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,880
His reward is the gratitude
of the ruling class,

378
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:17,960
which he fully deserves.

379
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:24,200
What we deserve, Amelia, is
a new world, a better world.

380
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,480
I could take you there,
if you'd like me.

381
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,440
Can you also take me
back to California?

382
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,480
And to my mother's ranch, too?

383
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:33,920
That's where she was murdered.

384
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,760
My mother, Lucia
Rojas, the killer,

385
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,720
stole map cases
with her designs.

386
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,760
And they left a red
thread around the knife

387
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:43,880
that they killed her with.

388
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:45,960
Does that sound familiar?

389
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:47,320
It's the first I've heard of it.

390
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,000
And I am...

391
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:53,240
I'm deeply sorry.

392
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,800
You didn't know Lady Violet
sent someone to kill my mother

393
00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:59,640
and steal her weapon design.

394
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,280
I had no idea.

395
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:06,360
Please. Do you
blame Clara or her

396
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,760
family for the colonization
of your continent?

397
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:11,640
And the mass murder
of your people?

398
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,280
Is her father not associated
with the government

399
00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:17,240
that tried to eradicate
the native tribes?

400
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,920
Do not hold me to a
higher standard than

401
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,200
you do the Andesans.

402
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,440
I refuse responsibility for
Lady Violet or her schemes.

Hi, I can't tell you
how relieved I...

425
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:37,680
Thank you, Inspector.

426
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:38,880
Are you here tonight as part of

427
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:40,160
the Prime Minister's police?

428
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:41,280
Not to worry.

429
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:42,557
We searched the building before

430
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,040
allowing the PM to enter,
and our deployment was

431
00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:48,160
organized by the chief
inspector, so I have no doubt.

432
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:49,120
Yes, yes, yes, yes.

433
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:50,840
I believe your lack
of doubt is the

434
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,920
principal reason Whitlock
chose you for this assignment.

435
00:21:54,360 --> 00:21:56,360
Mr. Dankworth left this
for you, Mr. Holmes.

436
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:58,677
From a professor friend
of yours, I believe.

437
00:21:58,760 --> 00:21:59,760
Thank you very much.

(indistinct chatter)

439
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,880
As the PM's police,
we're always worried,

440
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,360
but Lord Salisbury
is safe here tonight.

441
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,720
Safe as if you were in a
vault in the Bank of England.

442
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:11,840
I disagree.

443
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,280
The Prime Minister is the
target of desperate assassins,

444
00:22:14,360 --> 00:22:15,800
and the police have
been prearranged

445
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,400
to allow the killers to escape.

446
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:18,520
Have you checked this balcony?

447
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:19,957
Oh, yeah, not to
worry, Mr. Holmes.

448
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:21,480
The entrances are locked.

449
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:22,240
Locked?

450
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,240
The balconies are
decrepit and unsafe,

451
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,280
and all the keys to the
various entrances are lost,

452
00:22:26,360 --> 00:22:27,720
so it's not in any way a threat.

453
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:28,400
Mr. Holmes.

454
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:29,040
Mr. Holmes.

455
00:22:29,120 --> 00:22:30,000
Not now, Miss Anderson.

456
00:22:30,120 --> 00:22:31,440
Please, it's about
the red thread.

457
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:33,760
One moment.

458
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,840
Inspector, your
precautions are inadequate.

459
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,640
Take the Prime Minister
home immediately.

460
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:43,760
Lady Violet just threatened me.

461
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:45,200
Threatened you how?

462
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:46,880
I was told that if I don't
take my next dance with

463
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,080
the Turkish ambassador
and tell him to meet her

464
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,480
in the stables by her
carriage, she will ruin me.

465
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:53,240
She knows about Charlie.

466
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,400
Lady Violet's threats
will come to naught.

467
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:56,520
Where's Amelia?

468
00:22:58,200 --> 00:22:59,840
Oh, of course.

469
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,360
Just when I needed her the most.

470
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,640
Right.

471
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:12,960
Fancy seeing you here.

472
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:15,240
First time in a stable?

473
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,200
You make a great mistake by
confronting me in this manner.

474
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:21,440
I'm sorry.

475
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,280
Allow me to follow the
etiquette of a proper servant.

476
00:23:30,360 --> 00:23:33,080
You are even less
clever than I supposed.

477
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,520
This pitiful show of force
will have no effect on the

478
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,560
business I transact tonight.

479
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,200
I'm not here to stop the
sale of my mother's designs.

480
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,440
I want justice for her murder.

481
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,680
The map case you're holding
and the knife from your

482
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:49,040
collection in your parlor?

483
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,160
The one that was left
in my mother's heart?

484
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,400
They both prove that you
conspired to kill her.

485
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,560
Since you insist
on bringing it up,

486
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,840
do not forget what was tied
to the knife when you pulled

487
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:02,360
it from dear mommy's heart.

488
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,080
Harm me and the red thread
will dispatch you before

489
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:07,600
you ever meet a judge.

490
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:09,040
I'm not sure about that.

491
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,480

inspector is under arrest.

492

No.

499
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,120
Place the map case on the
ground and roll it toward me.

500
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,880
Why not just shoot
me and take it?

501
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,077

to frighten the horses

502

503
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:35,960
You have fantasized
about this confrontation

504
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:36,880
far too much.

505
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:37,960
No.

506
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,280
I refuse to play
my assigned part.

507
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,440

cakes, little girl,

508
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,840

Be warned, you are
in grave danger

510
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,600

Take your hands off my daughter.

513
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,760
At last, you admit the truth.

514
00:25:14,120 --> 00:25:16,320
Of course, we have guessed
it, But it is satisfying to

515
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:17,760
hear it spoken out loud.

516
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:20,000
[LAUGHS]

517
00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:24,920

518
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,640
fathered a child out of
wedlock with a savage

519
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,400
and kept your
offspring as a maid?

520
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,280
Well, maybe the public will be
more horrified to learn that you

521
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,000
murdered an innocent
girl just to open a date

522
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:38,800
for Clara Anderson's debut.

523
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,240
Or perhaps they'll
concentrate on your attempts

524
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,920

one of England's potential foes

525
00:25:45,120 --> 00:25:46,640

assassinate Lord Salisbury.

535
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:19,200
Quickly.

536
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,760
I could have helped, but
I have been put off by

537
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,000
your condescending attitude.

538
00:26:25,360 --> 00:26:28,400
You see, I am the Red Threat.

539
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,240
So whatever you think
you've accomplished,

540
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:33,920
it will not come undone.

541
00:26:34,360 --> 00:26:37,680
The Moriarty boy will see that
war begins this very night,

542
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,080
and that was always my purpose.

543
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,680
This is justice at
its most poetic.

544
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,480
The world's most
esteemed detective

545
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,000
perishes with his
greatest mystery unsolved.

546
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,960
Events might have turned out
differently had you not fallen

547
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:55,840
for that primitive, wild woman.

548
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,840
Or realized my wit was
the equal of your own.

549
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:04,400
I shall treasure our final
party until my dying day.

550
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:08,440
Farewell, Sherlock.

551
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,000
Farewell, Lady Violet.

552
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:11,400
(dramatic music)

553
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,520
(screaming)

554
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,400
Lucky for you, she didn't
look down the barrel

555
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:35,480
before firing the gun.

556
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,800
I could see my handkerchief
crammed inside there

557
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,600
from where I stood,
at your high heels.

558
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,000
You kept up this wobble so
that Lady Violet would think...

559
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,480
Would think I was a clumsy ox.

560
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:49,880
Otherwise, she might
not have attacked me.

561
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,600
Very impressive balancing act.

562
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,120
Hardly surprising, given
that both your parents

563
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,960
were virtuosos of
the theatrical arts.

564
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,560
Indeed, were I not a
genius, I might well have

565
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,160
become an actor.

566
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:08,640
Take a look at this.

567
00:28:09,120 --> 00:28:11,800
During a visit to his
father, Dan Moriarty

568
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,880
claimed he was the red
thread, as did Lady Violet,

569
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,680
as did Chief Inspector
Whitlock when I confronted him.

570
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:20,680
So there seems to
be some confusion

571
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,480
amongst our conspirators over
which one of them is in charge.

572
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,680
And though they differ on
what it should accomplish,

573
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,920
they all share the
same objective,

574
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,280
the commencement of a great war.

575
00:28:31,120 --> 00:28:32,680
That is something
more than a crime.

576
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,200
Did I hear a gunshot out here?

577
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,760
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

578
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,920
Lady Violet is a victim
of her own malice,

579
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,760
I'm sorry to say, since she
was attempting to murder me.

580
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,520
Well, I told you to return the
Prime Minister to number 10.

581
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,160
I asked him to
leave, Mr. Holmes,

582
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:49,920
but he said not before
he delivers a toast

583
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:50,840
to Miss Anderson.

584
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:52,440
Last, this debitant.

585
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:53,240
Stand aside.

586
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:53,960
Excuse me.

587
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:55,040
Stand, sir.

588
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,960
Before I say anything else,
I would like to speak four of

589
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,800
the most important words
in the English language.

590
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:02,560
God save the Queen!

591
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,560
God save the Queen!

592
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,960
And before we adjourn
to our dining...

593
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:08,960
Head for the Ambassador.

594
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:10,920
Make sure he gets Lord
Salisbury away from the

595
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,000
podium, out of the light.

596
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,120
...United States that
at their convenience, we

597
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,160
would welcome our former...

598
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,880
Ambassador, the Prime
Minister is in danger.

599
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:20,640
Your sister is in danger.

600
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:21,440
You need to get him
out of this room.

601
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,560
Of course, I jest.

602
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,560
Our host's recent boldness
in preventing a crash

603
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:31,640
in our financial markets
is due a tribute itself.

604
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,520
(audience applauding)

605
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,080
But not tonight.

606
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,760
Tonight is for a very
special young woman

607
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,560
who has emerged from a
life-threatening crisis

608
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:47,520
is withholding his
grace and maturity.

609
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,160
Those qualities
that convert a woman

610
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:55,720
from a mere wife and
mother to a source of

611
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,760
modern refinement.

612
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:04,280
Join me now as I raise a
glass to Miss Clara Anderson,

613
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,920
whose beauty, brilliance,
and refinement...

614
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,120
(gunshot)

615
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:18,200
(crowd shouting)

616
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:31,520
The killer was an invited guest.

617
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,400
(people chattering)

618
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,480
One cannot decapitate
the entire upper class

619
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,520
and their gentry accomplices.

620
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:42,640
That has been tried.

621
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,160
Pay no attention to Herbert.

622
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,320
Look, these shoes, part
of the Wigstars' livery.

623
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:49,440
He's Catholic.

624
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,400
So our would-be assassin
arrived with the catering

625
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,600
but changed his clothes
before trying to shoot

626
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:58,680
the Prime Minister.

627
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:00,120
Good shot, I must say.

628
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:01,880
We're in the dark, too.

629
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,320
Very near thing, a
very near thing indeed.

630
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,720
Now, what do we have here?

631
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:13,240
Oh. What's that?

632
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,360
That, Bertie, is the
new naval ensign for the

633
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,360
Austro-Hungarian Empire.

634
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,360
That's how the war
is supposed to begin.

635
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,360
Pardon me for the
change in subject,

636
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,040
but Telegram mentioned something
about the Ambassador's jewels.

637
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:28,200
In a moment, Bertie.

638
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:31,960
Amelia, you recognize
the cuff links.

639
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:34,280
Amelia?

640
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,320
Amelia? How can you even hope

641
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,040
to find the accomplice without
the police to help you?

642
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,280
Because I already know
who the accomplice is.

643
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:44,440
This attack may have
been orchestrated

644
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,240
by the young Moriarty, but he
would never have sacrificed

645
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:48,640
himself in the attempt.

646
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:50,720
I believe Amelia has
gone in search of him.

647
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:52,080
We must wish her success.

648
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,280
And in the meantime, Bertie,

649
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:57,760
Seek out the ambassador.

650
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:06,360
(dramatic music)

651
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,080
Amelia, stand aside.

652
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:27,200
No.

653
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:28,560
I don't have time for this.

654
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,237
You said that you
didn't know anything

655
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:31,640
about what happened
in California.

656
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,080
But Lady Violet was
selling my mother's designs

657
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:35,520
as a weapon of
war the same night

658
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:36,440
that you were
trying to start one.

659
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:37,760
That's not a coincidence!

660
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:38,840
I don't want a war.

661
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,000
I want a revolution.

662
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,080
You made a lot of money
from this revolution.

663
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:45,717
You say you're a rebel,
but you act like an outlaw.

664
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:47,520
All rebels are outlaws
until they win.

665
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,080
In victory, I promise
you the greatest history

666
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:51,160
money can buy.

667
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:52,920
You're in my way.

668
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:54,360
I could shoot you
where you stand.

669
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,400
But... But if you
swear on your life

670
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,080
not to tell anyone
you saw me here,

671
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,080
if you walk away now,
I'll let you live.

672
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:07,400
Someone probably
will find you here.

673
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,760
Eventually. But I
swear, I will never,

674
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:15,840
under any circumstances,
tell anyone where I saw you.

675
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,280
(dramatic music)

676
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,760
But I'd blow that
out if I were you.

677
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:23,040
Why?

678
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:32,040
(dramatic music)

679
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:43,080
Because the air in the passage
comes from a vent in this door.

680
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:45,760
So pretty soon you're gonna
have to choose between

681
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:46,840
seeing and breathing.

682
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,200
Amelia! Amelia!

683
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:50,840
Let me out!

684
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,400
Why this...

685
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:09,320
It's amazing.

686
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:11,397
After the events
of this evening,

687
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,360
my wife might well
find some comfort

688
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:14,880
in the recovery of her jewels.

689
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,280
I will return the insurance
company's benefit tomorrow,

690
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,920
and I'm sure they will
pay you a handsome reward.

691
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,080
But what about Mr. Holmes,
to whom you claim

692
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:26,200
we owe so much?

693
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,480
I intend to split my
bonus with Holmes,

694
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,120
for he's no interest in money.

695
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:39,600
Thank you, Sherlock,
for allowing me to

696
00:34:39,720 --> 00:34:41,120
conduct my business first.

697
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:50,600
At last, Ambassador.

698
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:52,800
We arrive at the moment
where we must tell

699
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:54,040
each other the truth.

700
00:34:54,240 --> 00:34:56,080
Well, that sounds
slightly ominous.

701
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:58,040
Are we at odds, Mr. Holmes?

702
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,317
Well, I'm not here to befriend
you, if that's what you mean.

703
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,760
But lives are at stake,
so we must negotiate.

704
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,000
I am protected by
diplomatic immunity.

705
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,320
And even were I not, I
have committed no crime.

706
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,120
Well, I cannot prove otherwise.

707
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:13,920
In the attempted
assassination of Lord

708
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,600
Salisbury, you are guiltless.

709
00:35:15,720 --> 00:35:19,240
The keys to the balcony
were surrendered in exchange

710
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,120
for your daughter's life.

711
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,440
And the payment of a

has protected you

00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,440
and most of your associates
from criminal liability

714
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:33,280
in exchange for a bribe,
which you arranged.

715
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:33,960
Bribe?

716
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:34,880
What bribe?

717
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:36,920
The jewels, of course.

718
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:41,040
Which you allowed to be stolen
so that Chief Inspector Whitlock

719
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:42,120
could find and keep them.

720
00:35:42,240 --> 00:35:45,160
It's a remarkably
sophisticated payoff.

721
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,600
Simultaneously
corrupting the police

722
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,280
whilst obtaining for yourselves
the true value of the gems,

723
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,400
which you then converted
into an enormous fortune.

724
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:57,520
And look, the bribe returns,
none the worse for its absence.

Much like Clara, though
I do admit some surprise

at the depths of your amorality.

00:36:06,240 --> 00:36:08,280
Not even the kidnapping
of your daughter

728
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,960
could convince you to
abandon your accomplices.

729
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,400
What a hypocrite you are.

730
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,360
How dare I allow Clara
to remain in the vicinity

731
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:19,760
of Dan Moriarty and Lady Violet?

732
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,920
Who else but a monster would
risk his own child's life

733
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:24,760
by putting her in
the constant company

734
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:26,800
of murderers and thieves?

735
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,400
And yet you accuse
me of immorality.

736
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:30,520
I do, indeed.

737
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:32,760
Every other member
of the Red Thread

738
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,480
with whom I have spoken
wanted to start a great war

739
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:37,400
involving Britain and
other colonial powers.

740
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:38,720
Is that your position, too?

741
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:39,840
Far from it.

742
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,440
In fact, I advise against
the conflict as unwise.

743
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,600
But not too much.

744
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,640
For a great war amongst
Europe's industrial powers

745
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:51,320
can have but one winner.

00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:52,760
The United States.

As our biggest competitors
destroy each other,

America will step into

investments under my direction

that your country cannot
continue as it is,

Yes, there is.

You may be aware that my
dear old friend, Dr. Watson,

760

occasionally writes
about my cases.

761
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,600
And he avoids charges of
libel whilst disguising

762
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,960
his character so clumsily
that only a complete fool

763
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:51,280
could fail to recognize, well,
your daughter, for example.

Not dare, sir.

00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,640
I will chain him to the desk.

00:37:57,720 --> 00:37:59,720
I will supply the ink myself.

768
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,560
Now I offer a fair

happiness for Emilia's, and
if I or anyone close to me

the case of the red thread

will be immediately
published in The Strand.

773
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:20,840
Oh, don't bother
looking shocked.

774
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,840
The bargain I propose
is why you agreed

775
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:27,720
to have Amelia in
your household,

776
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,520
to protect her from your
more vicious associates.

777
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:37,040
I will protect your daughter,
and you will protect mine.

778
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,720
Yes, yes, this is the
disagreeable treaty by which

779
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,040
we must keep the peace.

780

Good night, sir.

00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,120
A most unsatisfactory ending.

789

Professor Moriarty comes out
more sympathetic than he should.

And I object to Amelia
being left out of the plot.

She played a role in all... On
this subject, I am immovable.

Amelia may stay
and work with us,

must be kept a secret,

read that story on her way home.

can't be published.
