Sherlock had thought, just for a moment, that he had managed to get John to safety. Relative safety, at least, for John would only have to get back to Baker Street to find that Sherlock was, in fact, not there and had lied to him. But it would have at least given Sherlock perhaps ninety six minutes to play with, in order to attempt to free himself.
Apparently that had just been knocked down to about sixty three seconds, perhaps sixty flat if John really raced up those stairs.
"Now who's cheating to make things boring? Being outmanoeuvred doesn't mean you should overturn the board."
