:51:00
But what do you want with me?
:51:02
The government suspects
that your father has stolen

:51:05
the printing plates
for the five pound note.

:51:07
What?
:51:08
They also believe he is at
the bottom of Lake Windermere,

:51:11
drowned like a rat.
:51:20
Father...
:51:22
- Get some water, please.
- Of course.

:51:28
Father...
:51:33
Sorry for the fright, Miss Giles.
:51:36
Unfortunately, you fainted
before Holmes could add

:51:39
that he personally believes your father
not only innocent, but alive.

:51:42
Really?
:51:43
Holmes believes
your father has been abducted.

:51:47
Abducted! By whom?
:51:50
Abductors.
:51:53
You see, Miss Giles,
:51:56
your father was described to us
as fanatically neat...

:51:59
a fact confirmed by
the immaculateness of this very place.

:52:03
I took the opportunity
to have a look around,

:52:05
and it is extremely tidy.
:52:10
One must ask, therefore,
:52:12
why such a compulsively neat man
would leave an unmade bed,

:52:16
unless he was snatched
from that very bed.

:52:20
Oh, dear God.
:52:21
Then a man posing as your father
was sent to Windermere

:52:25
where a mock drowning
was staged,

:52:27
unfortunately costing the life
of an innocent boatman named Ayers,

:52:29
forcibly drowned.
:52:31
- Murdered.
- Why?

:52:36
Why, you ask.
:52:40
Because...
:52:42
Fill in the details.
:52:43
Because someone
wanted us to believe

:52:47
that your father
and the printing plates

:52:50
were lost at the bottom of the lake.
:52:52
Thus Scotland Yard and that poor,
misguided fool Lestrade

:52:56
would foolishly believe
that the case was closed,

:52:58
leaving the true villain free
