Summary

In this episode of Sherlock & Co., the investigation into Stephen Seldon's prison escape and the murder of Henry Baskerville reaches a climax. Mariana confronts the Barrymores about harboring Seldon and discovers that Henry was killed by a hound, not Seldon directly, forcing the team to reckon with the case's supernatural elements and their own failures.

Insights
  • Emotional attachment and personal relationships can compromise investigative objectivity, as seen when Watson struggles with guilt over Henry's death despite following proper procedures
  • Witness testimony in rural areas requires careful vetting; unreliable accounts (like the Prime Minister sighting) can derail investigations if not properly filtered
  • Parental love and protection, even of dangerous individuals, can motivate otherwise law-abiding citizens to obstruct justice and assist fugitives
  • The distinction between legal culpability and moral responsibility becomes blurred when multiple actors contribute to a tragic outcome
  • Institutional failures (prison staff not believing inmates, delayed reporting) create cascading consequences that enable further crimes
Trends
Investigative teams increasingly rely on private contractors and third-party agents to supplement official police workRural crime investigations face unique challenges with unreliable witness reports and geographic isolation enabling fugitive evasionInstitutional accountability gaps in prison security and communication protocols create systemic vulnerabilitiesEmotional intelligence and restraint become critical skills in high-stakes investigations involving personal lossCross-border investigative collaboration (Spanish investigator working with UK police) reflects globalized crime response

Hey, this is Michael and Hannah from Goal Hangers, The Rest is Science. This episode is brought to you by Project Hail Mary, the new spectacular space adventure coming to cinemas. Okay, hypothetically, imagine that there's this mission to save our world. Only you can do the job, as this expert in mathematics and science. How do you think you would do? Terribly, but not because I love teaching and learning, because I'm a scaredy cat. But what about yourself, Hannah? I don't back myself, Michael. I think I'd be good. I just, I just be very slow. I think the point is that no one should rely on Hannah or I to save the world. But in Project Hail Mary, Ryan Gosling stars as science teacher Ryland Grace, who is sent unexpectedly on an impossible mission to space to discover why the sun and stars are dying. He teams up with an unimaginable ally to defy all odds and save the universe from extinction. See Project Hail Mary in cinemas and iMacs from Thursday the 19th of March.

Steven Seldon has been found guilty of the murder of a falaria Yanez and colorosa, wicked, reckless, cruel, individual, a demon among us. He is deserving of every second in the darkened chambers of Dharma prison. You can't be the only one who can take him to the villa. Surely we'll let him down. I can't actually feel it personally, which is ridiculous. No, don't. Don't. We don't let that piece of shit hurt any more people, including you. Yeah. But it can't help. Feel for those poor people out there in the morning. With any information. Living out there and this guy is on the loose. Not like he's a burglar who just committed some tax fraud. He killed people, two beautiful girls. Oh, I feel so so cramped. I'm gonna go back to bed, I think. Henry, Henry, you out here! Open the... Ah! Who do you think you are, boy? Right! Rosemary, I know you've been crying. Get out, oh boy. House. Henry! Who was that? Hello? I can hear you. You're the... Man on the moor. Yeah. Hey. You're so... Yeah, Frank chucked me out of the house. Pointed a gun at my face, no wonder his wife has been crying all night. And the light, they keep switching that light on and off and on and off. They're sending messages, they're messages to someone on the moor. Take this. You're necklace. Take it. You'll understand when you see this. This, I need a car. Thank you, Mr. State. God, what the hell do we got doing? Oh my god, it's everywhere. I'm stood in a puddle of it. It's all over the rocks. It's someone fall on these. No. What is that? A severed arm. Jesus. Who's her? So look. Canbered down these rocks. Half mutilated. Blood pouring out of them in a torrent. Their body breached, torn out. Just remembered. Until finally. You've been defeated. And. No. Who is that? No. No, no, no. No, no, no, Henry, Henry! Henry! Move away, Watson. No. We don't know. This is the face is half consumed. This is jack-ass. Oh, sorry. I'm so sorry, Henry. John. Henry! Oh! I let him go and he died. Sherlock, I let him go and he died. John. Come here. Gwen. It's me. I haven't driven a vehicle for some time, so you have to forgive my waving concentration. I'm afraid I may require your services down on Dartmoor. A body has been found. I have what remain. I have what remains. Of the remains. In this car. Along with my Dr. Watson. Who is in dire need of arrest. Would we good to see you? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. No. No. No what? I'm not going in there. The Barrymore's have a right to know the news. They have a right to nothing. John. They took Sir Charles's rooms. They're communicating with someone or something right where Henry was killed. He literally held me at gunpoint. Oh, and by the way, his beard looks familiar, doesn't it, mate? Hmm? No. No. Nothing. Not suspecting the man that trains dogs to kill for a living. No. A great detective. Ladies and gentlemen. The investigation is a work in progress. Unbelievable. Not quite unbelievable, but it would require some evidence. To them. You. What? Hey, Britain's biggest brain. How about you actually use it? How exactly am I not using my brain? You sent me down here. I told you to come. Technically I did come. Just not with you. Oh, right. Yeah, you sent me with Mariana. Where is she, by the way? Mariana. Don't, what? I'm angry. The stages of grief are well documented. But what the death of Henry? Fucking heartbroken about that. Mate, I'm angry with you at you. Why? What do you mean? Why? You abandoned me. Again, I was here. Yeah. Yeah, and funnily enough, when I started to put clues together. I started to actually get a foothold on the investigation to find some firm footing after floundering around in this bog of a case. And then, oh, look, you show up. I found you crying in the rain. Oh, shut. Just go in. Do what you need to do. Take the spare mic. I don't have it. Yes, you do. I know you do. Well, you're incorrect. Well, I'm correct, actually, because it wasn't in the drawer. And you obviously had this little excursion plan from the start. I don't have the spare microphone. I will take that one, if it matters that much to you. No, no. Do you know what? Don't bother. This one isn't going out. The case of the mutilated Canadian, I feel, might not get that many applaud. It's me. I'm sure you'd agree. In you go. Bye-bye. And what will you do? I'm going to drive to the station and go home. With the corpse in the back seat. Maybe I will. Then I'm taking the keys. Oh, God, for fine. Fine. Then I'm waiting here until you come back and you're driving me. Fine. That's sick. Um. Henry. This may make it very, very comfortable back there. I had to put your seat belt on because the little sensor thing, isn't it? Yeah. I just want to say, it was really nice getting to know you. I think you're a really cool guy. I hope that, no, I mean, well, yeah, I hope that you could at least find, I don't know, some comfort in the final seconds. Maybe the thing let you be. Maybe we scared it off and you had some, not to reflect. To be a piece. I don't know. Maybe you went quickly. I hope so. You got to be with your dad. And your uncle, mate. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I let you down. I follow in your heart. It's a dangerous bloody thing. It's a dangerous thing. Oh, I'll reach out to friends and colleagues for you back in Canada. I don't imagine your fancy being buried here in the plot. Bloody basketballs. Well, they saved the best tool last. The last of the basketballs ended the line. End of the line. I should probably tell Jamie and Mariana because I don't think Sherlock will do a very good job. It's not really his strong. What the fuck? Sherlock! Sherlock! Sherlock! Shh! Jesus Christ, what are you? Are you okay? I'm alright. Are you... Is that someone's been shot? Sherlock. It's Mariana. No. So John's reached his park hotel. Chop chop. Do you fancy a cup of tea before we... And he's gone. Yep. See you. Bye. So welcome to Mariana and co-everybody where I make a cup of tea. A cup of tea. And a type of a statement for a police report. The font I like to use is myriad of pro. Call me old-fashioned. Size 11, not 12. Thank you very much. Come on Mike. We're going to shake. Like the time to earn money. Hey. Welcome back to Mariana and co. Hey. Welcome back to Mariana and co. Good morning, John. You sleep okay? It was... Alright. Okay, you know what? I'm just going to email you the instructions, okay? Yes, of course. John, you ready? I am. Yet. Do we need to literally fly out the door right this second? I booked us on the train with Jamie and Henry, so... Yeah. Great. Cool. I'll... Um... You shall for a cab. I'll just say bye to Arch. Okay. Where is it? Where is what? You know what? You're gone. Now I... Hey, that's it. The R-Mills, have a spot for the station. Never look all the way to the place. Hello, Inspector. I'm getting touched to request a favor. I'm going to get the car. I'm going to get the car. I'm going to get the car. I'm going to get the touch to request a favor. Are you not in the business? Ranting favors. Willie Nilly. Then it's an instruction, mate. Did you sleep, okay? I mean, oh, I'm sorry, yet. I just passed out. And what about Mariana? She's a bit under the weather. Actually, but she is weathered. Yes. Sorry, who is this? Diitom Greksen. Scotland Yard. What? It's so slow. Sorry about that. I, um, that was a massive communication. It got, we have here in the system. We have one of our third party agents coming in today. She's assisted us in a number of occasions these past couple of years. I want you to share everything you have on Stephen Seldon with her. Understood. And, um, what's your name? My name is Mariana Mecha Thurra. Of course. I'll take you to the Inspector's office. Ah, Mr. Patches or Reign. I'm a Teh-Thurra. Yeah, of course. I've actually just gone back from, uh, New Yorker. And I think your country is fantastic. You know, I love the pubs. Um, take a seat. Um, look, thanks for popping by. Um, I understand you are looking into the disappearance of Stephen Seldon. A prison break. A convicted felon on the run. A fugitive. Yes. Uh, uh, yeah. All of the above. Take, take, take. Hey. A little more unusual than a disappearance inspector. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, no, you're right. Um, so I have, well, what I've done is I have all the reports here, uh, filed by my officers. Um, where do you suggest I start? Well, these, these ones here are, uh, are day off. Day off prison break. That's right. So this is, this is mostly prison staff. After they've elevated the situation to us. So these are written reports here. Uh, yeah. Uh, and these numbers here are the recorded conversations. Okay. Recorded conversations. Audiovisual. So, uh, some recorded on tape. I think we're, uh, what we used to call tape. We don't, we don't call tape anymore. Uh, and then some on body cam. Uh, some uh, straightforward video. So yeah. Right. And, um, what do you have in terms of LKL or PSA? Okay LORPSA. A, um, last known location and priority search area? No, yes. Yeah, no, I knew that. I knew that, I knew that one. Um, a few locations. Uh, yeah, we believe, uh, the Morris, mostly. The Morris. Correct. You think he's still on actual Dartmoor? We do. Yeah. How? Our, our, our way of looking at it is, uh, we would have located, uh, the gentleman, the killer, uh, if he'd return to civilization, as it were. Uh, yeah, we passed, uh, police checkpoint on the way in. Exactly. That's what they're there for. Hey, wait him out. Star of him out. Have you went to the, uh, Starvin's Stephen sweepstaking office? Unless he's finding food. Fullying food, uh, before long, he'll become food. Not there. Miss a man. Chicken. Vanderbilt. Uh, stop. Yeah. Stop trying that. Mariana is fine. Mariana. Yeah. Right. Yes. Anyway, this, these, and these, uh, our reports filed, uh, deal, dealing with, yeah, mostly with local people, basically. Witnesses. We don't have what you would call, uh, a verified witness as such, but we have claims of sightings and, and then what have you? Okay. Why is this the first thing I'm hearing of sighting? Well, uh, our local population have quite the imagination. Uh, so- Yes. So I've noticed. But surely these should have been made public. What? All under and twenty of them. Oh. Exactly. And, um, GT at the time in this wing is yourself. I think it, uh, yep. Okay. So it was myself. That's P.O. Myers. Um, there was P.O. Lee and P.O. Colville. It's not me through what happened, P.O. Myers. You inspected his cell. No. Not quite. So, uh, I'm not sure if you're going to be able to see it. You inspected his cell. No. Not quite. Some of the inmates had initially told us the- Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry to cut you off. But confirming now, they had come forward of their own volition and told you. Yes, they had yet. The Steven Seldon had escaped. That's correct. Right. Okay. And you then elevated that to the police. We would elevate to our OSG, first and foremost, your OSG. So that's an operational support grade. And they, but Nigel, would determine the best action. So you did that. Well, not, no, not at that point. No. Why not? Because we didn't believe them. God. You didn't believe the inmates. That's correct. Why didn't you believe them? Well, because they're not to be trusted on most things. Okay. Um, what, sorry, why would they joke about this? I don't know. When did you elevate? That evening. Because he was absent from his cell. That is correct. Yeah. And this is where Seldon moves from the cafeteria here on this shot. To the laundry facilities, which you can see on this camera. In the laundry facilities, he had a temporary pass, which we believe he stole. He goes through the laundry room into a, not so much a closet, but a, I suppose, a janitorial room, storage room. It has a window. Yes. And you can see the lock there. Exactly. Well, it, no, well, it is locked. But he, just there, that's where he breaks the lock. And he's out. And then we switch to the external. Then he goes into the wheelie bin. Correct. He remains in there for, we believe, a day. And he doesn't come out at all, no. Not while the bins are in the compound. Yeah. But once the bins are taken out, he's then out of the reach of our cameras. Oh, I'll speak to the council. Hopefully he got tipped into an lorry and crushed. That's doubtful. I know. That's obviously when he escapes off site. But before collection. Bastard. All right. Thank you so much. There's no problem at all. Maybe they're not right. Miss, Mariana. Yes, lots of work. I'm gonna go speak to these people. Following up those leads, are you? Yeah. Hopefully something will come to light. We'll catch up tomorrow. Compare notes. Sure. Good luck. You'll need it. I'm not delivering anything. Are you Liam Thompson? I am, yes. I'm investigating the Stephen Selden case. Oh, shit. Wait. Uh, no. Wait. Let me record. What? Record? You're a YouTuber. True crime. Two seconds. I'm not delivering anything. Are you Liam Thompson? I am, yes. I'm investigating the Stephen Selden case. Oh, shit. Wait. Uh, no. Wait. Let me record. What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? This is important, my love. Whatever he says is not true. He's an alcoholic. Right. And he's a wanker. Right. I've been this man, this evil demon came walking towards me. On the boar, late at night. Oh my goodness. He was croutesque. He was, he wanted me dead. Did you get a look at his face? I did. Oh, wow. Okay. And I can tell you who it was. Steven Seldon. His name is Steven Seldon. No. It was Sir Keir Starmer. The Prime Minister. That's the fella. Now, he were tall. He were very tall, actually. Right. Long stride. He were airy, proper airy. Oh, okay. Like not shaved for a while. So this was recent. Yeah. And you said in the police hotline, you said he had big feet. Did I? Yeah. Spotted by Jackford. Wondering big foot in forest. Wait. What's that? Big foot. Yeah. Sorry. Are you looking for?

And so my last call of the day. Listen, I don't think I ever want to be a local cop. People are, yeah. It's very interesting. I'm really putting my two years of detective work to good use. I hope. I mean, I hope. Oh, God, I hope. I've been to 11. No. 12? How's this so far? Oh, boy. And now number 13 on my list of credible witnesses. Oh, please be a lucky 13. Miss Laura Lions. She says that on the night of the 19th of September, she saw Stephen Selvin. Well, she saw something in the night. A disturbance at cleft tour. So kind of nearby, which is a little creepy. But that was a while back, right when he first escaped. I'm just going to try and get more information. Hello. Hi. My name is Mariana Mechazura. I'm a private investigator from Spain. Oh. May I come in and talk to you about Stephen Selvin? Uh, yes. Exactly that. Of course, come in. I did tell them. I mentioned it to the police. Oh, yes, I know. Then why haven't they come around here to ask me the questions? I'm going to share what you say with them so we can all have answers that way. Of course. He's a monster. Stephen is. Did you know him before them? Yeah. He was a bit older than me, but yeah. Why do I do what he like? Quiet? Yeah. Stand off as you're at times, but I remember him just going off in town once. At who? Nobody. Nobody. Yeah, nobody there. Nobody around him, just shouting, screaming, trying to punch some, I don't know, someone or something that wasn't there. Uh-huh. What he did to those girls, like, they were sleeping at a hotel room. I know. What's the reaction in Spain? Um, pain, outrage, things that are to be expected when such horrors occur. So sorry. It's OK. We have monsters too. I've lived here a long time, so I'm not judging. Yeah. I love the British. Even if sometimes you don't love yourselves. I also love your biscuits. Mine are Britons. Both. Ha-ha-ha. Where are you staying while you're here? I'm in a house nearby. That's another thing you guys do well. What's that? Country houses, manners. Yeah. Yeah, my partner lives in Monashley. Oh, no way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you're a lady of the manner, huh? Very soon. Oh, that's a diamond ring. Wow. OK, so soon to be lady of the manner. Is there a title? No, no, no. Ah, yeah, but it is. I'm very lucky. Good for you. Um, sorry, more boring questions. No, no, no. So, um, on the night of the 19th, you said you saw a disturbance? At 11 p.m.? Around 11, yeah. Just before, I think. And what did you see? I was walking the tap stop right away. At 11. 11 at night. I was. For work? I, well, you don't have to see. It's OK. Yeah, no, it was. I was in my car on my way back from work, and I let my dog out to walk. Where's your dog now? Hmm? Your dog? The first dog I know not to come to the door to sniff me. Yeah, no, he would have. He would have, but he's at the vet. The vet, of course. Oh. Is he OK? Yeah, just a precaution. Sure. Hmm. So, um, on the bride-of-way, it goes around. I don't know if you know basketball hall. I'm familiar with it. So I was near it. Not that near, but, yeah. Head my torch, and I suddenly, so basically the land kind of raises up outside the front gates of the hall to cleft or. Yes, it does. Hmm. I could see a light up there. On the door? Yeah. So I switched mine off. Right? And it, I swear, it starts coming towards me. And at first I freeze. I'm just wondering if I should just jump the basket of the wall and go tell Charles or you just for protection. Hide there, you know? Yeah. Because I can't make it to the front gate. By the time I leg it around that way, they would have caught me. There's light. There's light coming towards you. Yeah. So I'm in darkness, and it eventually, before you know it, it's probably 30, 40 feet away. Well, I just ran. And I ran and ran. And you think that would have been seldom? It's the night he would have got out, right? Mm-hmm. No one's out in the mose at that time. You're? Yeah. You just came home after that? I did. Thank you. Again, Laura. This was, hopefully this will be one piece in a puzzle that I can put together. Of course, yeah. And actually, can I take your number? You got signal up here? Well, I guess I could go into Davistock again if... Who is that? That's me. When I was 9 or 10, I think. No, that. There. That's raised me Barrymore. She was my child, Minda. Wow. No, yes. I've met her. Oh, it's worth about her son. What? It's about her son. It's about your own piece, like a journalist from X to try the same things she gave me black eye. Sorry. Wait, wait, wait. Who? Who is her son? Are you serious? Going for a picnic? Gee. We knock in this house. You're very jumpy. Your husband made it sound like you had such a hardy nature. Did he know? Yes. He told me that you hadn't cried for 30 years. Yeah, well, I don't need to go blubbering and whining to get my way. Good for you. Just how I was raised, love. You popping out. Oh. Is that the Selden family way? What? Did you just say? Does it run in the family? I'm just curious about how you formed such a good, hard working, honest character. Look at you. Working late. What is it exactly that you're doing? Is that any of your business at all? Yes. How have you come to that conclusion then? Because I'm a private investigator. No, you're not. And you are not a cook, apparently. Yet I see a lot of meals coming and going out of this kitchen. And going where exactly, Rosemary? I think it's time you don't buggered off. Where is he? Frank is on a shoot. You know who I mean. I don't. Where is Steven Selden? Where is your son? Don't you dare. Tell me. You don't know he... What? He is. I know. What? He is. You don't. Rosemary. You're still here by the time I'm back. Rosemary. Frank to turf you out. Personally. Rosemary. Here. Mariana! Oh, God! Mariana! You sure you checked the right room, right? There's 99 others. I can't see. She was ill. Right? Yeah. Mariana, we're heading out. Dinner at a posh manor house. A friendly neighborhood entomologist. He's a fan of the show. They've gone. You'll be cold tonight. How long can this go on for? I can't sleep. I can't eat. Oh, it's already gone on far too long. Then what in God's name do we do, Frank? Oh, let life take its course. How can you say that? Well, not the experience. The wisdom. Exactly. No experience. You didn't know. You never knew. Shh. It was just the house. Are you sure? They've left. Yeah, but that little Spanish one hasn't gone with them. Oh, God, almighty. You probably scared her off my love. She's angry. Frank. She's so bloody angry. Larer be angry. Larer see where that gets her, hey? Hi, listeners. It's late. And it's so, so cold. I'm going to maybe not tonight, but tomorrow. I'm going to take my chances with the Barrymore's. People, people like that, they only react to force. And whatever I do, or don't do, I just, I don't know. I want you guys. And you, John. And you, Sherlock. Oh, and you, Archie boy. To know. I did the right thing. Maybe not. In the right way, but I did the right thing. And I'm in my arm. So my last piece of evidence. I've taken a video on my phone too, so it's, uh, yeah. Proof. The Barrymore's are sending light signals out onto the more. I'm looking at them right now. I think I know what the signals mean. And I think I know who they're for. I have seen, and I have observed Mr. Holmes. I hope you're very proud. I remember what you said to me. In the retired Colerman. Follow the thought. Don't run away from it. It's natural to be scared when you know what you'll find at the end of it. My word is not evidence. There's is, which is why, tomorrow matters. Off do me quiet. Yeah, right back out your rosemary. I know it's you. I know it's you. Crying all night. How about you let me get some sleep? Well, it's breathing. Where is the gun? You feel you need it, do you? Oh, with the monsters and the murderers? Yeah, I do, mate. It has been taken. He's not responding. Hey. To the light. He's not responding. Rosemary. What's happened to him, Frank? We suspect the authorities are caught up with him after all this time. He needs me. He needs this to end. I can help with that. Oh, bloody cow! What are you doing here? Reach for your gun, Mr. Barrymore, and I will shoot you. Do you understand? You think you can just come in here? Mr. Barrymore, I asked you a question. Do you understand? You answer my questions truthfully. You comply, and you do not reach for that gun. If you do, I shoot you. Those are my terms. Frank! You told the told, don't you, I? Well, that legal jargon. But you shoot me, you're done for. I thought you were the clever one, eh? I'm not the clever one. I'm the boring one. I read reports, diebabs, spreadsheets, and fill out forms. Yeah, and I handle guns, love. And you want to play more game, too, yeah? Or my turf? We are not playing your game. We are playing mine. Don't look like it. I don't care what it looks like to you. I care what it will look like to the British courts. When you've been perverting the course of justice and assisting an offender. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Those courtroom chairs are uncomfortable. Even more uncomfortable for you, Mr. Barrymore, since you were shot in the dick and bald. An act of proportionate force recognized in UK law. By a Spanish girl, who, yeah, reads reports, types of spreadsheets, and fills out forms. Where is he? I don't know. Yes, you do. He's not responding. To what? Your light signal? Tell him to come to the house. No, tell him to come to the house, Rosemary. Now. Okay, okay. He'll understand this light signal. What do you think, saying? You've been feeding him. We have way, fucking way. Frank. Oh, you haven't done a damn thing. What, let go to the police? I was protecting my wife, not that free crank. His father hung himself 20 years back. That should have been our first clue. So ashamed of what he'd read. When? An arousal animal. When he was born. He didn't, the cord was too tight around his neck and he didn't get the oxygen. To be afraid of Rosemary. To be afraid of Rosemary. His brain frang. He hasn't got bloody brain. Who are the arts? He's a wicked little, it's a demon among us. That's what the judges say. They don't understand you, don't understand. I don't need to have no children to understand. The love you have for that creature you call a son. It's, it's eaten you alive, darling. It's eaten you alive. Frank. I mate over a dozen bitches a year. They carry him, they birth them, then I sell him. Do you think they are crying into the night? Do you think they sub themselves to sleep? No, no, they just get on with it. I'm not a dog, Frank. If you had half the sense those dogs have. Like what? Then you would have grabbed that cord. 30 years back and you'd have snapped his neck with it before it could draw oxygen. Oh, you bastard. You bastard! Don't try it woman, don't try it. Jesus Christ. Of course. The law extends to protecting others too, Frank. Sit down. Shit, you shit. Down. As whole. He's coming, he's coming like an heir. Call him. What? Call him in here now. Sherlock, Sherlock. Jesus Christ, what are you? Okay? I'm alright. Is that someone's been shot, Sherlock? It's Mariana. No. Stephen? Stephen? Love? Up here. Shh, that's who is that? Rosemary Barrymore. Come. What's going on? This way. Be vigilant, Watson. Yeah, I will, mate. Stephen? That room at the end. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what are you doing? I'm going into the room. With the gunman. Gunwoman. What? I know the sound of my own pistol, Watson. Sorry. Sorry, what? You said it was taken. Yes. By... Sorry, who took it? I'll show you. Knock, knock. Good evening. What? What the hell is going on? My thoughts exactly. Mariana. Where is my gun? Where is your cold? Where is Archie? Don't even... Wait, yeah, no. Where is Archie? Wiggins. Oh, God's sake. I'll take that. Thank you. Good work, Mariana. Case almost closed. Where is he? The killer. Stephen Seldon. He has your nose and your eyes, Miss Barrymore. I hope that's all you share in common. He's coming. To the house. The night will have a morsel of salvation at least. What does that mean? Seriously, what does that mean? Mariana, I have some bad news. But I think we should talk about it in private. What, John? What is it? I'll... Can we go talk? Where's Henry? You're lying. I haven't said a word. You're all I said it. They're still saying it. You're... Who's blood is that? No. Mariana. No, no, no, no, no. I know. I'm so sorry about that. No, he's not. He's not. He's not. Did... Did Seldon do this? Did... Seldon do that to him? John, I'm asking you a question. It... Um... We think... Well... It was the hound. It was the hound of the Baskervils. You can't... You can't believe that. You... You of all people. I saw the remains, Mariana. There must be nothing else. When you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth. The future to arrives. Our blood and temper run high, but we must show reason. Show constraint. Give me the gun, Sherlock. I can't do that, Mariana. Sherlock, don't give it to her. Shut up! I'm taking this. Boy, I've never seen... Shut up! Not in the mood. Restraint. Restraint. Shall we? Watson? We shall. Holmes. We shall. To binge this adventure in full. And without ads, go to patreon.com-4-Slas-Sherlock-and-Cut.
