Yeah, they um It's, it's They said it's a curse All this Does the ancient expanse of Dartmoor call us once more? Did you really come to London just to warn us of Dr Armstrong Jamie? Because I feel that to be somewhat excessive but just the imparting of knowledge Good observation Again Sir Charles was on the ground face down arms out fingers dug well clawed into the ground so tight it could barely wrench him out Took a second to identify his face was there so contorted and twisted into such a horrified expression What was he doing out there? In front of the house at his age at that time No blood No No injuries No Then what do you have for me Jamie? I have this Sherlock It's a photo of gravel Is that where they found the body? Can I, can I see Sherlock? Footprints Yeah, okay, that's a, that's a star big, small for Prince of a Man, a woman What have we got here? Of a beast What is it? What do you see? The Hound of the Baskervilles The Hound of the Baskervilles Thank you, thank you Today the court has heard the verdict of the jurors that Stephen Selden has been found guilty of the murder of Valeria Yanez and Carla Rosas in Notting Hill London in the January this year Mr Selden was described here at Exeter Crown Court by Judge Granger as a wicked reckless cruel individual a demon among us but no more the judge went on to say he is deserving of every second he'll spend in the darkened chambers of Dartmoor Prison Phew I... I... Past your bedtime, is it not, John? Sure, look There is someone out in the road or there was I mean, looking Looking? Yes, looking at our flat Exactly are they looking for? I don't bloody know, but I saw a figure out there Okay? Noted Noted? What do you mean? What do you mean noted? Who is it? Sure, look, who is out there? You feel like you're being followed? I don't No, I mean, I do Yeah, I do Just in the park? No, like, I just... First it's the feeling, right? Uh-huh, tea? Yes, please First it's the feeling It's just like a presence like, um, tingly between the shoulder blades something's there, something's not there and then it's like tingly between the shoulder blades something's there, someone is behind you Uh-huh, uh-huh and then, not every time but when I turn, I swear there's just always just this I don't know, a man will just mirror my turn, like pivot away Have you confronted him? I mean, you are a pretty confrontational guy No, he's... He's not near, he's far off and it's not like I can leg it if I've got arch Like he's in the distance? I don't know, I don't even know what's going on with my brain It's just, I feel it I know what I know, you know? Don't give me that look I think maybe Sherlock isn't the only one who needs a break Just saying St John's Regents Park Hotel Chop chop Do you fancy a cup of tea before we... And he's gone Yep, see ya Bye So, welcome to Marianna & Co everybody I'm here in where I make a cup of tea and type up a statement for a police report The font I like to use is Myriad Pro Call me old fashioned Size 11, not 12, thank you very much Come on Mike, for God's sake Until next time, Mr. Naran, bye Hi, we're meeting someone here in the restaurant Yep, just head on through Thanks You cannot beat a breakfast buffet, you just can't I'm sure you can No, you can't, what I always do is I make myself a mini breakfast first I'll be like just one bit of bacon, one slice of bread and I'll have a tiny bacon sandwich with a coffee and then bang, I go back for a main breakfast Please shush Good morning Jamie, after a good night I hope Sherlock, John How you doing Jamie, did you get that good night's sleep you hoped for? God, yes Good stuff Yeah I mean, tell tale sign that I need to maybe uproot myself again get myself out of Devon Just gonna sit Sure, yeah That'll root yourself you said Yeah, can't stay there can I? What I think is, look it's reasonable to be unsettled I'm a surgeon, John I've seen a lot worse than a deceased elderly man It's what I've not seen That's what's unsettling and I'm telling you that just knowing that, having that proper rest and knowing my next steps I'm just not gonna be that guy anymore What guy, sorry? That guy you met yesterday, timid, afraid, delicate I know when I'm right and I know when I'm wrong and I'm bloody right I'm bloody right Something tells me this isn't about just the Baskervilles Jamie, I wanted to get more details about the scene of the crime the arrangement of everything surrounding the death of Sir Charles Baskerville Then you can join me Join you where? Sorry? John Hunter, pioneering surgeon and collector, the Hunterian Museum Quite a grisly display of trinkets, even for my tastes Yeah, unbelievable Nothing against John Hunter, but you've got to be a little bit creepy to collect all these pickled body parts and animals Yeah, look at this guy, Jesus Charles Byrne, the Irish giant That is a bloody big skeleton, how tall is that? Seven foot seven I can't say he was over eight foot Well, accounts clearly exaggerate, don't they? Byrne's great height was the result of a then undiscovered growth disorder known today as acromegalic gigantism He died age 22 God Always a startling thing What's that? When myth and mortal life align So large, so brutish and gargantuan Yet a man sits inside this frame Look at this Indeed, large male wolfhound, unknown breed Do you know what I'm teaching? You've discovered the interest inside to the Royal College of Surgeons then? You have indeed Used to spend a lot of time in here Hey, the study rooms are had upstairs This isn't even half of it Probably not even 10% No way Oh yeah, Hunter collected everything Like, everything Is everything alright with your surgeon college pals? Yeah It's nice to see you smiling, Jamie But what were you so excited about exactly? Exposing Armstrong made me a lot of enemies But it also made me a lot of friends too You have a plan of action Well read, again, Mr Holmes They need to pickle his brain mate, shove it in a jar I'd rather they didn't I could join you mate When I go we could be pickled heads in jars, doesn't that sound fun? Not remotely I promised you information on Sir Charles Thanks for that, Jamie, if you can do that that's really handy Tell me everything I can do better than tell What's up? Wait, what, you can't, you've been struck off, you're not even a pathologist I did warn you about the tenacity, didn't I? Jesus Come Watson Sherlock, just, can you two wait? There he is, Sir Charles Baskerville Now, obviously, we're a few weeks down the line They've got this, not that low, minus two Celsius So that's the discoloration on the skin Lots of dehydration I'd say from when I last saw him Just standard fluid loss, marbling there and there Again, all normal, these abrasions are old as is behind his shoulder here Is someone coming? No one is coming These notes have him cleared, is that correct? Correct, but I have new notes to replace them with I think you're really pushing the limits of your connections in surgery, Jamie Wait, wait, whoa, this says you've performed an autopsy That's correct But he hasn't been opened up Not yet You're really going to do this What are you expecting to find, a poisoning or something? If they say there's nothing suspicious, then what harm am I doing? What about his family? No wife, no children Eyeboot for the incision Yeah, you would, and to be honest, the Jamie Mortimer I met yesterday, I thought would be on my side And just to confirm, your side is to chicken out It is not chickening out, it's obeying the law You know, oh look, that guy didn't steal anything or punch anyone in the face, what a chicken I'm the default human position This is the only chance we have The funeral is tomorrow, here in London He didn't want to be buried in the family clot Yes, we heard his character assessment on the Baskerville ancestry He'll be in the parlor by this afternoon His notes, these new notes right here now reflect an autopsy No one is going to know anything Fine, do it, just do it Okay Commencing Y shape The thoracob abdominal incision Shoulder To shoulder And down To sternum And finally to pubic bone Johnny, if you could help Yep Opening the incision now Okay, let's have a look here, can I borrow that light? Well, there's no sign to be demonic hound on the externals as we noted And I can rule out a phantom hound too, because that, right there Enlarged Yeah, I'm not a cardiologist but that's heart failure, mate Can you be sure? Yeah, that's massive, that's probably an enlargement of about 20, 30% And this, can I grab that scalpel? So, you hear that grit? Plack Coronary artery disease I mean, yeah, Jamie Hey look, I'm surgically trained, I'm not a physician I mean, I know enough to care for an elderly person or two Yeah, I'm not being a knob Anna was specialised in amputations and trauma but I'm bones and sinews, not chambers and valves The yellow softened tissue, there John Yeah, that's myocardial infarctis, yeah, they're older but all add up for heart failure See here, this left ventricle Mm-hmm Should never be that thick, again, that's huge, that's nearly 2.5 centimetres Yeah, should be 1.5, max, but right ventricle is fine, so his lungs were alright, old But alright, no pulmonary or lung disease or anything These chambers all dilated, calcification here and here, a bit there So we have heart failure Again, guys, what did you want to see? Something, anything Jamie, it is my suspicion, and I wish it were more at this point That's the child's witness something that filled him with dread The expression depicted in the images, the fingertips and nails here, dug with dirt amidst a panic Yeah, actually, you've got lungs really swollen here, full edema, that's big, big shock, full of froth I'd say Hemorrhages in the whites of the eyes too Yeah, a sudden pump of distress, and... What is it, John? You know what, Jamie, you were looking for something and I think we have a semblance of something I don't think we have heart disease here, these dark streaks here, you see them? Yeah That's, I mean, I'd put that down to, it's called catacolamine surge, right? Something just bang, gripped him, flooded his body with absolute terror, stress, fright, call it whatever you want And then it just detonates in here, he gives out too old to take whatever horror he witnessed He was found on the driveway to the house Correct And no footprints on that gravel, except his own That's right, the Barrymore's would have wrecked him flawlessly that day too That's the underkeeper, Frank Barrymore Yeah, and his wife, Rosemary And they just live and work there? Yeah, that's the total of the household staff, for a lot of house and grounds, it's pretty run down, there's no money If it is run down, are there any other openings onto the driveway? No What makes you sure? He has to maintain the fences, the gates, the boundaries, everything like that, that's the rules Too many lifestyles, there's whole council departments checking up on this sort of thing So, to enter this driveway, that is walled and tree lined, one must come from either the house or the front gate Correct But A great hound, in theory May we spare ourselves the supernatural for a moment please Sherlock Did the police examine the walls for any signs of breach, any scaling of them, footprints at their base? Er, yeah, I can't be sure but I believe so No marks on the grass None Now the front gate to the driveway, it was closed And padlocked So he could have been on his way to open it Could have been, but it was nearly midnight Could he have been leaving for any reason? Without his car, onto the moors in the middle of the night, no Nearest neighbours, friends? I mean, you're talking minimum three miles Then we must examine our only clue Footprint A hound Hold your excitement please Watson The underkeeper Mm-hmm Frank Barrymore He works for a gamekeeper, does he not? Along with these duties to the household, yeah Local gamekeeper A gamekeeper must keep dogs Yeah, lots of dogs Could this be a mark of theirs? Sherlock, come on I'm merely asking questions Watson Dogs live within the house Sir Charles highted them Yeah, with his family history I could see why Right, well, my interrogation may well be complete Interrogation? Yes Some questions relevant to the scene Some to the person before me Well done Jamie You're not hiding anything from what I can tell Of course Sir Charles wasn't leaving the house He didn't even have his keys I just wanted to see if you'd mention any local people He may visit at such hours Sorry Why, of course, he's walking down the end of his driveway No, he's waiting on his driveway Out of sight from the house Out of sight from the front gate And its camera In a near perfect blind spot The image again here, see Here? The deep depression on the gravel The scuffs around him where he has kicked And shifted his weight from side to side He's been standing there for some time Could even be 10, 15, 20 minutes With anticipation I'd say Would have to be A man of his age to come out the house Must have been something exhilarating The activity on the gravel shows restlessness Until this imprint here Backwards and another Then there is the collapse This scrape of grit and shingle So A massive locked front gate with a camera Then the high Narrow walled tree lined driveway No getting in, no seeing in We must be because I'm in the foot of those walls either side There will be signs of someone They're locked And I don't really get why you think that It was the middle of the Because he was expecting somebody, Jamie And that person was informed not to arrive by the front gate And not to go to the house So they can't go round it, they can't go through it They have to go over it Someone was going to come jump over the wall And chat to an old bloke on his drive at midnight In the middle of nowhere That is my insinuation What is yours? A gigantic spectral hound Who's he going to meet? He's a lonely old man in a man house He's got no wife, no kids, no family I didn't say there was no family You didn't? No So there's family Henry Baskerville The Canadian nephew At a Baskerville hall Oh But three weeks ago, the walls of Dartmoor present Were proven and effecient It's all happening down there, isn't it? On Dartmoor Yes Escaped from the prison How's he managed that? Absolutely mental Last thing you want, no? Literally last thing, as a resident, isn't it? You take a thief or a drug dealer breaking out But murderer, no thanks Well, it is a maximum security prison It was somewhat likely that if a prisoner was to escape It would be one guilty of violent crimes Hmm Yeah, true Who got him? Hmm? Who arrested him in Notting Hill in January, I don't remember Forrester Oh nice, good for her Indeed Stephen Selden was in fact a Devonshire man himself Ah, right, the day, yeah Did they find him, though? Yes, I believe she tracked him from phone records He had boasted about the murder of the Spanish girls to friends They tipped her off She tracked the use of the number Hinged off a mast in South Devon Well, it's the trial that exits a crown court And then, by by psycho, into Dartmoor prison, you go Yes Well, I guess he's not a psycho Otherwise, he would have been found guilty on grounds of insanity It is a personality disorder Yeah It does not fill in the requirements Doesn't it? Is it a disease of the mind that causes a defect from reason? Two of the three monotone rules that dictate UK law Disease of the mind? Nope, defect from reason No Yeah, yeah, alright, alright, just trying to have a little chat A little chat about psychopaths and murderers over lunch Yeah, lovely, isn't it? You... You don't think it's connected, do you? How would it be? Right, yeah Yeah, just... Just asking Thank you, cheers Feeling better? Hm? Oh, yeah, yeah, I was hungry Just needed a boost I meant in your self-esteem Your work in the autopsy was exceptionally helpful to the case And I hope it aided your failing pride No, I'm not, I'm not down in the dump So just... You know, I'm embarrassed that I've... I didn't do anything for Mazarin Stone Abbey Granger just uploaded an old adventure Missing three-quarter, I tried Yeah, to do it by myself and I needed rescuing You fear being by yourself on a case? I don't know about fear, a doubt I suppose, yeah Yeah, no I do How are you feeling? Re-energised? Not quite Still in conversation with Armstrong? I feel I deserve answers to my inquiries He feels otherwise Hey, hey, Northamble Inn Hotel, right here Yes, I know Oh, sorry, I thought you were walking first I am Sorry, wait, why? Because we're being followed Oh, I knew it The hell is going on? Come this way Okay, okay Gameplan, do I just go and take them out? Take them out? Yeah What exactly does that mean? Can we stop fast-walking, please? It means I go and batter him Batter him? Yeah, sprint after him, you know? Get him on the ground, get answers It's rather ambitious, don't you think? John, Sherlock, I got you Oh, bollocks, yeah, hi Jamie, entrance is here No, yeah, yeah, okay Keep your eyes alert during our meeting with Henry Baskerville Okay, John Our elusive follower could be in connection to any number of things Well, if it is a giant home, this hotel has a no-dogs policy See, he should get turned away Did you just roll your eyes? What I did mention was that, erm, well Sir Charles had very few friends Which led to me having a particular responsibility Which is the executor of his will When he got ill, he had arranged for a meeting with a solicitor He wanted one from London and was supposed to be coming here It was booked for the day after he died, as a matter of fact But as a temporary measure, he clearly thought it was something I would be best to pander And you contacted this Henry? Yeah, how much does Canadian Henry know about Sir Charles and the Baskerville estate and such? From when we spoke on the phone, he definitely seemed aware I think he's considerably successful himself in his own right So this isn't, it's not In the inheritance, Jack, but... Yeah, exactly Here he comes Ah, that's Henry Baskerville, is it? Why? Why is... Hey, Jamie, you're Jamie, right? From the call We meet in person How are you, Henry? Look, how do you think I am? Can you... I mean... You've got nice shoes You've got nice shoes? I have a shoe upstairs, this place It said some utter crap about the shoe shine thing you do You put the shoes outside the door in a little holder and they shine them But somebody took my shoe, they actually took my shoe So I gotta go out and grab another pair I'll be super fast, don't worry Okay, yeah, now that's fair This is John and Sherlock Hey, good to meet you Hi, I mean, can you believe this? Have you ever seen anything like this? Baffling Hey, nice cap, though Blue Jays? Toronto Blue Jays? Blue Jays, yeah, we're this during the bad times, just so you know So, yeah, hi, good, good to meet you Sure, sure You have no spares Spares? Oh, shoes, I mean, I got slippers from the room I don't really know what's more embarrassing Put a word in with reception, maybe they can sort you out Yeah, I don't think I can go back over there, I kinda went off a little Just... I mean, a shoe, Jesus Christ Serves me right for indulging a little too much in the quaint little shoe shining scam they got going on here Jamie, can we catch up maybe later, once I've sorted this dumb situation I feel weirdly exposed Could I ask, Henry, does your room here show any signs of a break-in? Sorry, what? Do you have any other missing items? No Just a shoe Just a shoe, look, it's a prank You see the left one? It's a pretty ordinary shoe from Mayor, Toronto, you don't steal those A prank? Yes Do we know what the weather situation is in Dartmoor? Am I gonna need like a hiking kinda track boot or what? It might make sense to cover both bases, yeah Okay, cool Quick shopping trip you guys and I'll be right back Do you remember much of your childhood, Henry? Sorry, what now? Your childhood, how much do you recall? Yeah, I recall plenty, yeah Did your father tell you tales of his homeland, stories of his brother's estate? I will literally be five minutes and I just gotta find the store and then we can catch up on everything, Baskerville Hall Dartmoor is a place about which many fantastical yarns are spun, Henry I find it unlikely that a former resident far from home gave his child no little legends of the place where he once belonged No, yeah, I guess I picked up a few about Dartmoor, yeah Like what? The Pixies, yeah, right, the legend of the mischievous Pixies was one There was Kitty J or... Yes, that's another Yeah, yeah, great, had great tales You know, I don't want you to think I'm some kind of foreign guy who's just coming in doing whatever I want to an estate I have no connection to No, no, I don't think that's what Sherlock is getting at, right? Right, Sherlock, because you don't buy into that supernatural stuff anyway, hey mate No, of course not, why do you think he left, Henry? Can I please just go buy a pair of shoes? I'll give you my own if you can answer the question I don't want yours, can I, it... I don't know why he left, okay? His dad, my grandpa, not that I met him, or died and he, yep, yeah, he left Francis Baskerville That's a guy Went wandering on the moors, found mould on the banks of the river Dart Sherlock I think maybe he'd been drinking, fell on the river, washed up, kinda thing Indeed We all clear now? Can I go limp down the street to a shoe shop? Yeah Yeah, yeah, of course you can, sorry, sorry Henry And we'll join you What? Are you serious? Tell you what, talk about Curse of the Baskervilles What about the Curse of the Watsons? Oh yes, what's that? We start a case, first guy we get our hands on loses a shoe Yes Curse of the Watsons How exactly is this a Watsonian curse? Because I lose my shoes a lot on cases, don't I? Do you? Yes, I do But he's not a Watson What? He's a Baskerville Yeah, but he's come into contact with me and I carry the, I'm a vector for the curse The upside of you doing cases by yourself is that I'm not subject to this absolute nonsense How's your saying, how many shoes am I down now? How many? May I depart from this conversation? Can I move over there? A what and give poor Henry some more weird, do you believe in ghosts Henry? Is your mum a witch? Is your dad a wizard? Hmm, I didn't say any of those things You give me all that nonsense about not believing those things and then you go and give all that stuff about folk tales I am curious about his connection to Dartmoor I wanted an entry point, I am trying to assess both his character and that of his father While simultaneously trying to understand who is following us And what wider threat we may possibly be facing Is that alright with you? Well, it would be a lot more straightforward if you just let him get a pair of sh- Hey, here he is A little loud for my liking, but a shoe is a shoe Yeah, great, love him And I got, uh, Wellie boots, Wellington's Oh, glorious, yeah, great for the bugs and the peats of Dartmoor Yeah, I hope, yeah So, Jamie didn't really say who, like, you guys are Solicitors? No, um, actually, we are, uh, we're investigators Oh, like, for insurance? For crime As in, like, detectives That's, yeah, that's pretty accurate What are you investigating? The death of your uncle, Sir Charles Baskin He had heart failure outside of his home Well, it seems to be more complicated than that, we believe More complicated than an elderly sick man's heart giving out? Yeah, that's right Dude, is this regarding some potential foul play? It's an option that we have on the table But like I say, it's complicated and we just want to analyse all angles before we dismiss anything major Am I an angle? You're looking at him, what? Am I an angle? Um, no, I don't, no, I don't think so, right Sherlock? I suggest you go about your business as you intended Henry and allow us to do our work Your work? You, I could buy Baskerville Hall if I wanted to You know that, right? This isn't, I'm not, like, I don't need this No, you don't, and that's not an accusation I threw your way regardless You're not throwing anything my way, you're analysing me and I don't want to be analysed I want to show some respect, visit my ancestral home and protect it the best I can And probably burn a ton of cash doing so, by the way Henry, I don't, I don't want to get off on the wrong foot here Is that some kind of joke about the shoe? No, it's not a joke about the shoe Did you take it? No, I'm just Was he killed? Henry Was he? Uncle Charles, was he killed? It's complicated It's not complicated, stop saying it's complicated, he is, he was a, he was frail He was alone and sick and dying and his, and he had heart failure It literally gave out because he was so old I love him, I'll miss him, but this, this is not some tragic tale of life torn away It was, it sure as hell is not complicated Did you just do that? Do what? Not you, him I did nothing You put a note in my pocket I assure you, I didn't Well, who did? Show me Get off! Show me the note What does it say? Keep away from the moral I guess it is kind of complicated To hear right up to the end of part five of The Hound of the Baskervilles go to patreon.com forward slash Sherlock and Co and then go to the end of part five of The Hound of the Baskervilles and then go to the end of part five of The Hound of the Baskervilles and then go to the end of part five of The Hound of the Baskervilles and then go to the end of part five of The Hound of the Baskervilles and then go to the end of part five of The Hound of the Baskervilles and then go to the end of part five of The Hound of the Baskervilles and then go to the end of part five of The Hound of the Baskervilles
