00:44THE END
01:25I have persuaded Sherlock Holmes to take a brief holiday with me.
01:28As we rumbled through the countryside, it was a comforting thought indeed that for a while anyway, there would be
01:34no desperate men at the door of our flat in Baker Street.
01:37No life and death cases to solve.
01:41Ahead were four whole days as suspended and happily uneventful as this train trip.

08:34I hope so. I hope so.
08:49Well, you certainly simplified the search and you narrowed down the area to Darcy.
08:53Here, Watson, give me a hand with this window, will you?
08:55Yes, sir.
08:57All the same as train windows.
09:02Well, that was the sound Miss Kendall heard,
09:04the sound of the window being open before the boy jumped out.
09:06By Jove, you're right.
09:07The question is, who helped the boy open the window?
09:10Well, it took two of us to do it.
09:12Exactly.
09:14Good heavens, Holmes, do you mean that he must have had an accomplice?
09:17Of course he must have.
09:18Yes, but who on earth would want to help a little boy to run away?
09:22Well, when we know that, Watson, we will have the answer to the problem
09:25of the boy who didn't want to go to school.
09:39Now we return to the case of the night train riddle.
09:45Taking Holmes' suggestion, we borrowed a cart and traced the rail line back to the upgrade
09:51near Darcy.
09:52We combed the area several times without uncovering a single clue.
09:57All of us were soon discouraged and ready to abandon the search.
10:01All of us, that is, except Holmes.
10:05We've been over this stretch three times already, Holmes.
10:08Yes, I know, but this is the only place where the boy could have jumped off.
10:11But we haven't got a shred of evidence, not a sight of anything, nothing at all.
10:15Look, what is it?
10:18A boy's cap.
10:20Miss Kendall, would you mind coming over here for a moment?
10:24Is that the boy's cap?
10:26Oh, yes, yes, that's his.
10:27Then it has to be here.
10:30Look, over here.
10:34Here we are, Watson, the footprints of a small boy.
10:42Holmes, look, another set.
10:44Must be the boy's accomplice.
10:46Ah, good work, Watson.
10:50They end here.
10:56Then it's quite clear what happened.
10:58Not to me.
10:59Well, they obviously bought another train, a local, I imagine,
11:02travelling in the same direction as we were.
11:04We do pull alongside a local here, Mr. Holmes,
11:07the up train from Royal Minster.
11:09Well, how can they do that?
11:10Change trains in its streams, let's speak.
11:12Well, obviously, Watson, if both trains were travelling slowly enough,
11:16they do.
11:16It's possible, entirely possible, Mr. Holmes.
11:19Ah, conductor, I think you'd better telegraph ahead
11:21and have them stop that train.
11:22Yes, sir.
11:23Do you think they'll find him, Mr. Holmes?
11:25Well, we are near enough to the truth, Miss Kendall,
11:27not to have to speculate any more.
11:29We will soon know.
11:33We began a hasty return to the Night Express
11:36aboard which we hoped to catch the locals.
11:40Holmes insisted that time was of the utmost importance.
11:56Oh, I'm sorry.
11:58I thought to another boy.
12:01Perhaps the next compartment.
12:02Oh, this is the last one, Miss.
12:05But you held out so much hope, Mr. Holmes.
12:08How many stops did the train make before Darcy?
12:11Three, same as usual.
12:13Did you notice a boy get out of one of them?
12:15Not that I remember.
12:17There was a boy.
12:18I talked with him.
12:19He got off with his father at Manborough.
12:21Are you sure?
12:24Yes, there was that pair.
12:26Blimey, I clean forgot.
12:28What did the father look like?
12:30Hmm, medium-sized, grey hair, ordinary face.
12:35Wait.
12:36I noticed when I inspected his ticket
12:38there was something about his fingertips.
12:40They were red.
12:42Red?
12:43Yeah.
12:44I thought it was strange at the time.
12:46Hmm.
12:47That's most observant of you, Conductor.
12:49That proves it, Watson.
12:50Holmes, do you know who he is?
12:52Of course.
12:53Coco the Clown.
12:55Coco the Clown?
12:56He was the boy's friend.
12:57But more than that, there's the red fingertips.
13:00The significance of which completely escapes me.
13:03Rouge Watson, the same kind of clown uses.
13:05He was evidently in a great hurry to catch the train.
13:07He didn't have time to remove it all.
13:09Well, if you're only right, Mr. Holmes.
13:11And unless I miss my guess,
13:12we'll find them both in Manborough now.
13:26Watson.
13:27Miss Kennedy is sending a wire to the headmaster of the school,
13:30telling him they've been delayed.
13:32As soon as she's finished, we can be off.
13:34Hmm?
13:34What's the matter with you?
13:36You don't look like someone who wants to be taken to the circus.
13:39Holmes, do you realize it has taken me the last solid three weeks
13:43of pleading and cajoling to persuade you to take this trip?
13:47And now look where we end up in, in Manborough.
13:49And don't you underestimate,
13:51we can have a very exciting holiday here.
13:53Oh, holiday?
13:54We might as well have pitched a tent in the Straits office.
13:56I know, but we couldn't very well refuse to help them.
13:59No, we couldn't have refused to help them.
14:01Ah, but when we eventually find whoever it is
14:03who's at the bottom of this thing,
14:05please remember one thing.
14:06He's my pigeon.
14:08Don't upset yourself, Watson.
14:10As soon as we can find the boy,
14:11we can continue on our journey.
14:13Oh, I'm glad you've still considered that.
14:15Well, shall we be getting along?
14:18Oh, by the way, Watson,
14:20I didn't mention it to Miss Kennedy,
14:21but I believe there's some possibility
14:22that the boy may be in danger.
14:24So I don't think we ought to lose too much time.
14:30Not a very convenient place to leave luggage.
14:34Holmes!
14:36You, you, you've got to wait a minute.
14:38We've left all our bags in the train.
14:39There's no time to worry about that now, Watson.
14:41Come along.
14:42But look, Holmes,
14:43we've got everything in them for our four days.
14:46All right, I'll find Miss Kendall
14:47and get a carriage
14:48and we'll meet you in the street.
14:49Now, hurry up.
14:50Right.
14:57Could you tell me if the night express has gone yet?
14:59It had to switch back to the main line.
15:00I wondered if it was still in the yard somewhere.
15:02I'm awfully sorry, sir.
15:03You must have the wrong town.
15:05Now I know where I am.
15:06I'm in Manborough.
15:07Right you are, sir.
15:08But the night express doesn't stop in Manborough.
15:10Never has.
15:12Except once.
15:13But, confounded man,
15:13I know it stops here.
15:15Oh, no, sir.
15:16The only time the night express ever stopped in Manborough
15:19was in the summer of 88.
15:21A wheel fell off the locomotive.
15:23Right off point here it happened.
15:24It stopped all right that night.
15:26Now, look here.
15:27This is urgent.
15:28I happen to know the night express stops here
15:31because I got off the thing at this station.
15:34Now, will you kindly go and find out
15:36if it's still here?
15:37Well, I have to go down to the yard area
15:39and in about five minutes I'll ask the signal box.
15:42Five minutes?
15:43Oh, never mind.
15:46Watson, come along.
15:47The carriage is waiting.
15:48Look.
15:54The luggage.
16:16Cecil, open up.
16:28Did it work?
16:30We jumped off.
16:31Switched trains.
16:33Ta-da!
16:34Like a couple of acrobats.
16:35Where's the boy now?
16:46Exactly where I want him.
16:57Oh, my God.
16:59I'll be there.
17:00There you go.
17:13Oh, my God.
17:30Well, bear and get it over with.
17:33I was waiting for a down payment.
17:37How much?
17:40A hundred pounds should do it.
17:47That's cheap enough to show you good faith.
17:57I'll expect the rest when I've finished.
18:22I'll expect the rest when you're ready.
18:24I'm here for you again.
18:26I'm here for you.
19:03Here, Watson. Take this gun and fire it up into the air.
19:05To the air?
19:05Yes, just to pin him down.
19:07What are you going to do?
19:08Well, I'm going to find out who he is and why he's trying to keep us from the boy.
19:11Well, go on. Watson, fire it.
19:12I'm sorry, Holmes. This one's mine.
19:15What?
19:16Watson! Watson!
19:17Here!
19:17Fire it, Holmes. Fire it!
19:19Oh, very well.
19:39Come along, Miss Kendall.
19:44Watson, you're a fool to take such a risk.
19:46Oh, with you covering me, I couldn't miss.
19:49Get up.
19:55It's Mr. Windmaster's brother.
19:59Oh, Uncle Cecil.
20:01Yes, and the first in line to inherit the Windmaster fortune, if anything had happened to the boy.
20:06That's right. You would be the heir.
20:07You may not think so at the moment, Mr. Windmaster, but you're very fortunate.
20:11If the boy had been killed, you would most certainly have been hanged.
20:15Hanged?
20:17Yes, hanged.
20:20Stop him.
20:21Stop who?
20:23Coco. He's about to kill the boy. Push him off the catwalk backstage.
20:38Up there.
20:53Coco?
21:03Don't come any closer. I'm coming down.
21:11You'll never get out of here.
21:13One move to stop me and I'll kill this boy.
21:44Move up.
21:45Choose my best throw up.
21:46Come down.
21:52Reach them square.
21:54Push you off.
22:02See, it's a fuller equivalence.
22:07Email the other.
22:31perfect timing Watson yes wasn't bad even though I do say so myself he wanted to kill me and I
22:37thought he was a friend well that should teach you a lesson Paul no one's a friend who encourages a
22:42boy to run away from school why what would have become of dr. Watson here if he hadn't gone to
22:47school well it's very simple he'd never have been able to accomplish that trick but all he did was
22:52to in dropping that counterweight young man I had to know the speed of falling objects the theory
22:57of weight and counterweight and of stress and resistance now if I hadn't studied physics
23:03there's no telling what might have happened to you I never thought of that no of course not well
23:08just you think of it from now on what did you really have all that in mind when you pulled
23:19that rope oh my baby go oh did you uh-huh come on you and you
23:44if you're looking for the time of the next London train it will be along in 10 minutes huh oh
23:51no no
23:51I was just wondering uh where our bags would be by this time this train seems to be somewhat off
23:57schedule I'd estimate that our clean shirts are about 30 miles north of Edinburgh at this moment
