Watson: Though technical marvels have changed our lives,
Holmes says that they provide only new means to old ends.
King's knight takes queen's pawn.
[gasps]
checkmate.
[alarm sounds]
you! Arthur!
Father...
Don't!
My own son!
How could you?
Take him away.
Father!

Watson!
Bring Sherlock Holmes back to life.
Back to life.
It's elementary, my dear Watson.

[organ music plays]
ah, deidre!
I see you took a short cut down barrow street.
I hope the harnage's dog didn't chase you too far.
Ok, Holmes, how'd you do that?
Eyes and brains, my dear, as I often tell you.
Barrow street is the only street
between here and the post office being washed today.
Your shoes and legs are damp.
You're out of breath because that infernal dog
is always loose on barrow street,
which is why I never walk there.
Observe,
and, from what you observe, draw conclusions.
Hmmm. One of your compatriots approaches.
Shall we practice?
Old electrical wiring. The lights always dim
when the hall light is turned on.
All right, deidre, tell us where
mr. Wiggins is coming from
and what he has done.
You just ate lunch, and you paid for your girlfriend.
I know I'm a sloppy eater,
but how'd you know about jacey?
By the lipstick.
On my cheek.
But that was because I asked her to the dance on Saturday.
Well, let that be a lesson to you, deidre.
You can only draw the correct conclusion
when you have enough information.
[loud beeps and buzzes]
oh, calm down, lad. I hear you.
News on, please.
Top stories-- prime minister gives birth to triplets,
12-year-old helfin paine III sues for emancipation.
Details on demand.
Helfin paine III? He is a pain.
Even if he is Tennyson's friend.
Details!
TV: The former head inventor for the world's biggest computer company
has sued his father for emancipated minor status.
Young paine claims he has been exploited by his father
and wants to be free to pursue his own professional goals.
Passions of the heart.
There are things that do not change in any age--
love, hate, jealousy, greed.
As powerful now as they were
back in our day, Watson.
That is, my day.
[knock on door]
enter!
TV: And so, helfin paine III--
what?!
TV:...Leaves the safety of his father's home and conglomerate.
2 families...Ruined!
If you see what I mean.
Ok, one more time, Arthur...
We'd all like to go home.
Why did you steal the board?
I told you, I'm not answering questions
without my lawyer.
Yeah, yeah. I know.
You rich kids all have high-priced legal nannies
to clean up your messes. And yours is on his way.
But let's chat till he gets here.
No comment.
Where's the missing piece of the board?
Do you have an accomplice?
Oh...Is that it?
Are you protecting someone?
Computer: Emotional stress-level rising.
Who is it, Arthur?
If you take the rap all alone,
you'll be krypnotized for sure!
Is that what you want, Arthur?
Do you want your brain washed,
like a pair of old socks?
I recovered the beryl board,
but I desperately need you to find the missing piece.
I still can't believe my own son would do this to me.
He's made poor decisions in the past,
but nothing criminal like this.
Still, all clues point to him as the culprit.
You said 2 families ruined:
Yours, and that of helfin paine III.
[screeching brakes]
Watson: Americans!
When will they learn to drive
on the proper side of the road?
Young helfin gave me his new processor,
called the "beryl board,"
to hold as collateral for a loan.
To start up a new company.
How did you know that?
Elementary.
Leaving his father's company
and getting a loan
only makes sense if he's starting his own.
So, you took the board home?
My personal security is the highest in new London.
Or was the highest. [telephone rings]
I believe someone has tracked you down, mr. Holder.
Computer: Forward call!
Helfin: Holder, you idiot! What have you done with my board?
Don't worry, I have it.
Just one little problem:
A piece, a very small corner piece, is missing.
Helfin: That board is self-replicating!
News that a piece is missing could devastate the stock market
and you!
Father, you've arrived!
I was afraid you'd abandoned Arthur.
Holder: I couldn't abandon my own son
more than I could abandon you, my darling daughter.
Arthur's lawyer won't let him speak to the police,
but he won't speak to me, either.
Don't worry, Mary.
This gentleman is here to see that things are set right.
If only he could.
Was it because I wouldn't
loan you money for your art gallery?
Burwell's gallery has nothing to do with this.
Oh, Arthur, how could you
do this to someone who loves you?
Holmes, where are you going?
There is nothing more to be learned here.
Come, Watson. We have much work to do.
[French accent] how can you have an art opening,
if my work is not ready yet?
I left 100 messages on the powergrid last night.
Did you answer?
No-o!
George burwell?
Burwell: Who's asking?
Whoever you are, you'll be paid later.
This is mr. Sherlock Holmes.
Special consultant to new Scotland yard.
Is this about poor Arthur?
Yes. I understand he was to be an investor in this gallery.
Burwell: Daddy dearest refused to loan him the credits.
I guess the poor boy snapped.
What about the new coupler?
I Don't have the credits for it now.
Probably gambled it away at Galileo city,
like everything else.
Not just now.
Go play with your sculptures, or something.
Now, mr. Holmes, I have to be elsewhere, soon...
You were saying?
All right, irregulars, the game is afoot!
Before we can draw proper conclusions,
we will need more information.
You have your assignments, go to it!
I shall be following a lead of my own
at the offices of young helfin paine's father.
Old man: Now, paine, I'm hearing rumors I Don't like!
Rumors I want to get to the bottom of!
I hear your son has invented a new processor,
one that will make yours obsolete!
The lad has no business sense.
His departure is inconsequential.
His process is self-replicating, they say.
Smart and fast as a human brain, they say.
Now, where did you hear something like that?
You have your secrets, and I have mine.
Good day, sir.
Our guest is leaving.
See that he gets a proper escort home.
Lestrade.
Lestrade, I'm on my way.
And you are?
Lestrade, it's Holmes.
As I said, I am on my way.
But first I must escape some unwanted attention.
Hmm. This should be relatively simple.
Lestrade: Holmes, you're not trying to drive, are you?
It's nothing I can't handle, lestrade.
Don't do it!
Let's see... Altitude...
Ah, yes, here it is.
Now, where did that building come from?
Lestrade, what do you suggest that I do now?
Oh, where's my Watson when I need him?
Lestrade?
[laughs]
the auto-pilot system won't let you crash.
Well, that's a relief.
Now, if I can just lose those flies on my tail.
It has been fun, gentlemen...
But I have other fish to fry. So...
Holmes: The flies have flown, lestrade.
I shall be there shortly.
Holmes: I trust you have all found your pieces of our puzzle.
Wiggins?
Definite signs of struggle.
But just one set of footprints.
How very unusual.
Did your scan pick up any DNA traces?
I only found readings for the family members.
But there's hovercraft radiation all over the roof and wall.
Security monitors prove that both Arthur and Mary
came from inside the house.
I think there was a third party on the roof.
A party, indeed. Most interesting.
Tennyson,
you reviewed the security footage?
[beeps]
excellent, Tennyson.
Just as I suspected.
[beeps]
yes, right.
Deidre?
I followed Mary, like you said.
Mary's got a boyfriend,
dresses rich, but I Don't think he is.
Trying too hard to be arty.
Holmes: Good work, all.
Now, we must get everyone involved to the burwell gallery.
They may not want to come.
What do we tell them?
That we have solved the case, of course.
You will bring Arthur.
Greyson won't like it.
Eh, but what else is new?
Helfin III: Well, where is it?
Please bear with me a moment longer.
Mr. Holmes assures me
you'll have your board...Soon.
Holmes: I see everyone is here.
Might I suggest that we begin with the obvious?
Mary holder, how long have you been seeing George burwell,
behind your father's back?
What are you talking about?
Do not deny it. We have pictures.
I'm ashamed of you, mr. Burwell.
Your gambling debts are no secret on the moon, or here.
Good enough reason to ask your friend Arthur
to invest in your gallery,
but you could not get to holder's money through his son,
so you used his daughter instead.
What is he saying, George?
Burwell: This is too ridiculous for words.
Who are you going to believe, Mary?
I am sad to see that there are still men
who use love to twist a young girl's heart
against her own family, and even her own wishes,
and make her a willing pawn in their criminal schemes.
I fear that burwell is just such a man.
And our Mary is just such a girl.
Don't believe him, father!
I did it! Leave her out of this!
Arthur, stop.
You can't keep protecting me.
You forbade me to see George,
but I loved him.
When I told him about the board,
he said we could run away,
make a new life together, on the moon.
You stupid--
save your breath for your defense!
You're under arrest. Watson...
Sod off!
Don't get cliché georgy-porgy,
come along, like a good little boy.
Don't try it!
Burwell: It's nothing. Just a remote control.
No!
[beep]
huh?
Oof! Ahh!
Eahh!
All: Ohh!
I can stop them!
I'll stop burwell!
Oh!
It's too late.
Holmes: Woah-ah!
Ahh!
[power drains]
thank you, thank you.
It...It wasn't me.
Holmes: I hope you Don't mind,
I took the liberty of unplugging the art.
Oh, I lost him!
I say, who turned out the lights?
Now, 2 things must be done, without delay.
We must intercept George,
for he surely has the missing piece
of the beryl board and is about to sell it.
But first, we must contact young master paine's father.
[in voice of burwell] paine, I've got the barrow board,
but the price has just gone up.
Play message!
Paine: It's extortion!
I'm on my way, with the price we agreed on,
and no more!
Holmes: Proof that burwell stole the board to sell to paine's father.
I suspected as much when paine had me followed.
Cute. All we need to do
is call back and say, "where are we meeting, again?"
Holmes: Not necessary.
You bugged him? Ha, ha, ha.
No wonder we get along so well.
[clock chimes]
[twig snaps]
huh?
Lestrade: Looking for someone?
[gasps]
good evening, sir. Lost your way?
Holder: But how did you manage to fool everyone, Mary?
Tell him, Mary. It will do you good.
I...I was a fool. I believed him.
[sobbing] I can't, mr. Holmes.
Holmes: Then I will.
It was easy for Mary to bypass the home security system.
Mary stole the board and planted it on the roof.
She looped the roof's sensor readings,
then used a freeze-frame to block the camera where George would arrive.
Tennyson correctly deduced that the bird
either shot straight up, out of camera range,
and back down, or the second camera was tampered with,
to cover criminal activity.
George arrived by hover-motorcycle,
but Arthur was restless after his father turned down for the loan.
He went outside to think, saw George taking the board,
and leaped to grab it.
Ugh! Oh!
Ahhh! [alarm sounds]
[gasps]
I can't believe I ever trusted him.
Oh, Mary.
Helfin III: What do you mean, evidence?
You'll get your piece of the board back
after the trial. In the meantime,
it's in the safe hands of new Scotland yard.
Ooh! I'm gonna-- I'm gonna...
I'd better get reduced interest on that loan for this!
Mary: Are you gonna take me away?
Yes, but it's unlikely that your father will press charges.
I'm sure the judge will be lenient.
Don't worry, my dear. I'll be along in a moment.
Arthur, how unfairly I have treated you.
I only wish I could make it up to you.
I know! I'll buy your gallery for you.
Burwell won't be needing it!
Thanks, but no, thanks, father.
I'm gonna have that gallery,
but I'll do it on my own!
That's my boy.
Take heed, Watson.
Even if children have made mistakes in the past,
they still need to be listened to and respected.
Like the Holmes, the paines must learn
that along with love, forgiveness are what keeps a family together,
in this age, or any other.
