I'd like the key
to that cabinet, please.
525
00:22:13,539 --> 00:22:14,781
I'm sorry, Inspector.
526
00:22:14,781 --> 00:22:16,542
You mean
you won't give it to me?
527
00:22:16,542 --> 00:22:18,820
I mean I don't appear
to have the key on me.
528
00:22:18,820 --> 00:22:20,925
In that case,
we shall have to force it open.
529
00:22:20,925 --> 00:22:22,479
I warn you.
It's a period piece.
530
00:22:22,479 --> 00:22:23,652
If you damage it...
531
00:22:23,652 --> 00:22:25,965
Well...
532
00:22:25,965 --> 00:22:28,208
You might have told me
it was empty.
533

You didn't ask me.

cabinet -- 42 guineas.

No luck?
Oh, dear me.
536
00:22:42,775 --> 00:22:45,329
Dorrington, you needn't think
you've heard the last of this.
537
00:22:45,329 --> 00:22:46,537
Nor you.
538
00:22:46,537 --> 00:22:47,987
I shall send the bill
539
00:22:47,987 --> 00:22:50,161
for the damage you have caused
to your superiors.
540
00:22:50,161 --> 00:22:53,544

541

All right, men.
543
00:23:00,517 --> 00:23:01,725
Now we can talk freely.
544
00:23:01,725 --> 00:23:02,933
Yes.

around your neck...

Yes.
547
00:23:06,557 --> 00:23:10,389
Tonight when I come to myself,
my collar is broken,

00:23:10,389 --> 00:23:12,183
and the stud, you see --
549
00:23:12,183 --> 00:23:16,533
the cord, it is cut,
and all is gone.
550
00:23:16,533 --> 00:23:19,743
And do you think
your cousin has done this?
551
00:23:19,743 --> 00:23:22,746
Who else?
Who else would even know?
552
00:23:22,746 --> 00:23:24,955
Well, we'd best have a look
at the scene of the crime.
553
00:23:24,955 --> 00:23:25,887
Farrish, Parrot.
554
00:23:25,887 --> 00:23:27,751
I'll join you downstairs,

Going, sir?
557
00:23:33,722 --> 00:23:37,036
I'll be back.
You stay here.
558
00:23:37,036 --> 00:23:38,934
Unless I'm much mistaken,
559
00:23:38,934 --> 00:23:41,696
there will be some work
for you to do
560
00:23:41,696 --> 00:23:44,388
before the night is much older.
561
00:23:45,527 --> 00:23:48,565
And you can clear up
this...mess!
562
00:23:48,565 --> 00:23:50,359
But I'll miss my train!
563
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,085
DORRINGTON:
Oh, dear.
564
00:23:52,085 --> 00:23:53,639
But it's the last one!
565
00:23:53,639 --> 00:23:55,675
You should have
thought of that before.
566
00:23:55,675 --> 00:23:56,987
- FARRISH: But, sir.
- Well?
567
00:23:56,987 --> 00:23:59,092
Miss Parrot, sir.
She'll be compromised.
568
00:23:59,092 --> 00:24:03,890
Then you'll have to make an
honest woman of her, won't you?
569
00:24:15,143 --> 00:24:17,525
Does this serve anyone but you?
570
00:24:17,525 --> 00:24:19,941
No.
No one at all.
571
00:24:19,941 --> 00:24:22,150
- Give me the lantern, madame.
- Monsieur.
572
00:24:22,150 --> 00:24:26,326
Now, if you would stand away,
I'll join you presently.
573
00:25:14,685 --> 00:25:16,135
- Thank you.
- Ahh!
574
00:25:16,135 --> 00:25:17,550
Did you find something,
monsieur?
575
00:25:17,550 --> 00:25:19,966
Nothing to speak of.

Oh. Some coffee, perhaps?
Or a digestif?

Well, I wouldn't say no
to a glass of cognac.

Mmm.
Just an idea.

Does he wear spectacles?

- Jacques?
- Spectacles?
600
00:26:06,668 --> 00:26:08,601
- Why should he?
- Not even for reading.

His eyes are perfect --
as good as mine.
602
00:26:10,327 --> 00:26:12,743
Good.
Then listen carefully.
603
00:26:12,743 --> 00:26:15,366
If you see your cousin,
do or say nothing.
604
00:26:15,366 --> 00:26:18,162
Simply act normally,
except in one particular.
605

You are on no account to go
to Hatton Garden tomorrow.

- Why not?
- I shall go in your place.

Give me the address
of your office.
608
00:26:25,204 --> 00:26:26,619
It is shared.
I have no key.

No matter.
610

But what will you do there?

That's my business.

in my way...

- But I have the right!
- ...or not at all.

[ Scoffs ]
In Hatton Garden.

As well you know,
and as your cousin knows,

00:26:59,238 --> 00:27:01,274
if, as I suspect,
he's been watching you.

Ah!

You think he will go there
to sell it.
626
00:27:04,243 --> 00:27:07,626
And when he does, I shall be
there to intercept him.
627

- But how?
- That's my affair.

is to stay here at home
until you hear from me.

That Cousin Jacques has taken

Good morning, Mr. Hamer.

You're early.
Do come in.

- Oh, you do now.

Before you do anything hasty,
712

let me show you
a chloroform bottle
713
00:32:10,169 --> 00:32:13,138
which was dropped last night.
714
00:32:13,138 --> 00:32:16,727
It's beyond repair, I'm afraid.

Happily, you didn't quite
clean off the label.

a difficulty

in establishing the owner.
718

But, as you see, you left
719

And since there's only
one druggist in the Garden,
722
00:32:33,365 --> 00:32:36,575
I was able to establish
that he had, in fact,

Yes, as your tone suggests,

But you're a man of business
like myself.
