Yeah, it's the most important bit, mate. Oh, Patreon.com forward slash Sherlock and Co. Thanks. Previously on Sherlock and Co. Metropolitan, please switchboard. Yes, hello. This is Sherlock Holmes. Alert your specialist crime unit and the CID for Westminster. We have located Killian Evans. Get down here, Watson. He'll break out the back kitchen door in no time and we'll cut him off. You want me to jump out the window? Yes, I did. I know. Oh, fine. I'm going to do it. But one of these days, mate, someone is going to get really hurt. Oh, God, I landed on something. Oh, my elbow. You landed on someone. Hello there, Killian. No, I just quickly need to head over to Paddington. What? For what reason? I'm going to get him to the hospital. I haven't taken Nathan in. I haven't checked on him. And he's camping in his garden in this bloody weather because he can't get back into his house. Oh, my God. I know, I know. So I'm going to go get him somewhere safe. It's literally a couple of stops. I'll probably be at Buckingham Palace before you. Okay. Nathan, everything's fine. You're not in trouble, mate. I just have some people that can sort you out, is all. It's screaming and voices. He said he was hearing screaming and voices. It's in the floor. Holy crap, that's a dusty rug. Oh, God. It's okay. It's okay. I'm coming. I'm coming to help. I turned it up late to his own night. Oh, God, I'm above, honestly. We're still technically early. Technically early, Christ. If I were getting night, I would have camped out the night before. Where's John? Our thoughts exactly. It is a mystery and not a particularly intriguing one. No idea how far down I am. I must have done like five or six hundred steps. My knees are killing me. I don't know. I'm going to get up and get up. I'm going to get up and get up. I'm going to get up and get up. I'm going to get up and get up. I'm going to get up and get up. I'm going to get up and get up. Well, no idea how far down I am. I must have done like five or six hundred steps. My knees are killing me. I don't know if I should be happy the distant screams have stopped or concerned. Oh, you should be very concerned. Hello? Can you please just come out with wherever you are so we can have a normal conversation and I can help? Well, sounds pleasant, but I don't really have time for that. Oh yeah, so what do you have time for? Fortunately my payback will be quite brief. Payback? Moran. Moran! Ah! 99. Doctor Voxx. Sorry. This is like my fifth attempt to do this. And I suck at it. It... This has been a hard, um, hard edit and just everything has been so awful. And we're supposed to be the fun show. God, I sound like him. Guys, this is um, this is part three of the three Gary Depps. Please, please go in the episode description if you're concerned about what's coming. But um, as we all know, this is what John would have wanted. I could... Basically I could hear his voice all through the edit. So yeah, this is um, this is for him. All of this is for him. Where are you sitting? In the area allocated for those receiving honors. Yeah, no, got that. I was talking to Mariana. Okay, uh, well Carol is gonna be near the front with you Sherlock, but on the other side. And you and John? So we are kind of off to the side, but not at the back this time. Got a spot in the middle. I see you snuck a mic in. What happened? Did John get stopped at security or something? Oh yeah, maybe that's it. No! Is that genuine the way he's not here? Sherlock, Stanford made a good point. Last time we were here they threatened to kick John out if he tried to take him out. Oh for goodness sake. So he's obviously... Tried and failed. Yeah. Oh my god. Oh, this is... This is not good. Listeners. Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! There's not anywhere near enough blood which you might think is a good thing. But I'm sad to say it's probably internal bleeding. Ah! Ah! Breathing feels... Okay. Okay. I think lungs are clear. But there's no exit wound. So which means the round is... Is in there somewhere. It's central. Okay, so see where it's going in. Sternum. And I think... Ah! Ah! I think I should probably start moving now because... That bullet is almost definitely next to my spine now. Ah! I gotta get my breathing under control. But I'm... I'm panicking. Getting shot in a dark tunnel. We'll do that. Ah! Ah! Come on! Slow breath. Slow breath. Slow breath. Calm yourself John. Okay, so... Come, come, move. I can't call anybody. And... And no one knows I'm... Here. So yeah, this... This is not... This is not good. This is... Not... Good. Oh man. Oh god, I wish I could... I wish I could... I wish I could... I wish I could... Oh god, I wish... I wish I was at Buckingham Palace. Timson. For outstanding services to football and charity. Mr Christopher. Mr Christopher. Mr Christopher. It's starting to feel... Well, not... Not feel... In this instant. My legs... Same for the... Tips of my fingers. My... Head is very fuzzy. Well, listeners. I... I don't really know what to... Ah! Say... I hope... This isn't causing anyone distress. Oh god. I'm blacking out, I think. I'm black... I really don't know if I'm holding on... All that well here. Um... Um... Um... Um... Um... Um... Um... Um... Um... Um... Um... Um... Um... Um... Um... Um, you know, um, I've seen enough people die from... enough people die from sudden trauma to know there's always a surprise when it suddenly happens. When the light switches off beyond your control and that's why I just want to say this, not because I know I'm recording but I would have said it even if I didn't have the mic. I love you all very much. You've made my whole life, my whole life. I couldn't be more grateful to have spent this time with you, with Archie, with Marianna, with Sherlock. Fine even with bloody Graham. Come really sorry mum. Can everyone email her and just like her support. Oh hey Carol. Hello again darling. Still no John? Oh we don't know. Really weird right? We think because of his microphone it's... What? What is it? He wouldn't miss this. He absolutely would not miss this. Something's not right. Carol just sit down a second. We think maybe a security... Where is my boy? Okay, sorry. You know, um, upside is heaven as a plus. I mean I know I know I do a lot wrong. I have a lot... I know I'm far from perfect but I think I'd get in. Like just in terms of being the kind of average person. I think my dad would have made it too. So he can pick me up at the gates, you know. Like he did at school when he was home. Mary will be there. There's no doubt about that. Straighten. It's hard to leave here. It's really hard. The thing about death is they say life is a party don't they? And one who makes death difficult to accept is the party is going to carry on. The party is going to carry on but you have to leave. You have to leave. And that hurts. That hurts. That does this. It's but it all. I might have to give in to the urge to just switch off here for now. Sorry everyone. I'm really, really sorry. I'm really sorry if you get this recording. You'll know what to do. So he very kindly went to help a vulnerable old man. Who did? John. Old, vulnerable, what do you mean? His phone isn't... Nothing is bloody happening. Is there any sign of John yet? Sure. Look, you're meant to be up there. Still no sign of him at all. Nothing and we're calling. Okay, we are trying. And his phone isn't on. It would appear not. Oh God, his phone's always on him. It's swindling a plane for God's sake. Something's wrong. That's what I said. Carol, wait here. He may arrive. You call us if he does. Marianna, Stanford with me. Oh God, the king is going to be so mad. Hi, we do this whole thing. Just running around for one place to the next. Yeah, hello. I listened to the show, don't I? Down this way. To where exactly? Sherlock. To one of the three caradams. Art Deco guy, yeah? Exactly that. This is Stanford. Doctor? Oh yes. Sorry, I forget that sometimes. That is where John headed off to. And here, here we are. He's at the garden. The guy had been camping in his garden. Nathan, yes, through the side gate. John? John! John! He did arrive here. The long grass trodden down by a shoe, his size. Here and here. He came through the gate like we did. And he doubled back. Then where did he go? Are you looking for Nathan? Kind of, yeah. I've got him in here. I found him in his garden. He's just warming up for the cup of tea. Oh well, okay. Our friend John, is he with you? Who? John, a friend of ours. He came to check on them. No, I've not seen anyone else. Okay, this way. What? Sherlock! He won't be in the house. Really, the whole point he came in is that Nathan couldn't get in. Is that door of his hinges? Come on, let's go in. Jesus. John? John, you're here, mate. Swindon have you scored? Nope, not here. What is it, Sherlock? The pattern, the brickwork pattern. Yeah, follows the winding stairs. Yes, it's a helix, but it continues right into the ground where there aren't any stairs. Yeah. But the pattern signifies the stairs, the escalation up and down a vertical axis, but following the wall of the building, could the pattern denote further stairs, a dissension as well as a sentient? I don't think the building goes any higher, mate. No, but it may go lower. We follow it. Follow it, the brickwork pattern. He was commissioned in 1939, of course. Garadeb was most likely asked to construct something concealed, something hidden in plain sight beneath the glamour of his modernistic works. There had to be something, something functional, necessary, and this pattern is the pathway. It can be followed to a rug. The rug he told me to get away from. They cleared out the whole house, but for the rug, the rug, that has now been disturbed. Oh my god. Oh, on earth. It leads to a door. John! John! Oh my god. John! No, no! Oh Jesus! John, tell me you're not hurt. Tell me you're not. John, can you hear me? I'm first. Hi. Hi. Hi. Okay, okay, it's okay. We're here. We're here now. We're here. John, hey, hey, we're here. You're safe. Okay? Hello mate. Hello mate. I'm just going to inspect, okay? Okay, I know, I know, I know, I know. Keep that head up for me, yeah? We must apply pressure. No, no, no, no, no, no, he's bleeding internally. We'll leave that for now, won't we mate? Okay, give him nice and still. Nice and still. Nice and calm. Keep that airway open, yeah? Mariana, can you run up top just to see if a emergency services arrived? Yeah, sure, sure. When they do, paramedics down here right away, okay, we're not bringing him up. Possible spinal fracture. So a trauma board, head straps and brace. His breathing's weak, he'll need immediate high flow oxygen. Okay. All right. Yeah, okay, I'm going, I'm going. Okay, it's going to be okay, John. Okay? It's going to be okay. I'm here, John. I'm right here. Take his hand. Here. Gold hands. Warm heart. I'm going to go and assist. I think they've arrived and that entryway's tight. All right. Shed. Shed. Right here, John. Right here. Are your ad campaigns lighting up the dashboard? They're not the pipeline. That's bull spend. And marketers are calling it out in dashboard confessions. My boss asked for results, so we opened my dashboard for the only positive sounding metric I had. Impressions. Cut the bull spend. See revenue, not just reach.

Full look. Lab coat and everything. I'm on my break, so... Right. I was chatting with Dr Moore and Dr Sharma. Right. And what do they think? His vital signs are actually okay. And what they are concerned about is that the surgery itself was a high-risk strategy. They don't do many bullet wounds near the spine. But they do work with spinal complications a lot, and they know how temperamental they can be. Can you walk, Stanford? What they're essentially saying is they've done everything they can. The likelihood on that, on walking in particular, is low. Oh, God. But not zero. Right, it's in John's hands. Yeah. Yeah. Mm-hmm. I just wanted to come up and give you extra details where I could, you know. Thank you. Um, thank you. That's really helpful. That's the least I can do. At least I could do. Can I, uh, say a quick hello? Of course you can. I mean, I come to put your bullet in a jar. I thought you might like that. Um, I was, uh, I was supposed to give these two some news the other day, but, um, you were around. And now you are. So, uh, yeah, uh, Nadia and I are having a baby. Oh. And, um, and we'd love to borrow your name, if that'd be all right, mate. That's a middle name, obviously. And if you could be the godfather to, um, we'd really appreciate that. He'd do a Marlon Brando if he was awake right now, wouldn't he? Yep, he would. Good, good doctoring in that tunnel, by the way, mate. I saw how close that thing was to your spine. You must have been, god, you must have been flat as a pancake for about an hour. That's top work, mate. Anyway, I will see you in a bit. All right. I'll see you in a bit. Bye, and congratulations. Cheers. Thanks. Bye, Stanford. That's sweet. He's going to be a dad. There is another John out there that I never met, that I never compromised. One that was never dragged on any silly adventures, chased any dangerous criminals. No, no, Sherlock, come on. And that John is alive. Well, probably married, if not at the least in love. Could have had a child. Could be thinking about having children. But no. Sherlock, he loves you, okay, and he loves his life. Yes, well, I have damn near cost it. No, you haven't. I have a child. I have a child. I have a child. I have a child. I have a child. I have a child. I have a child. I have a child. I have a child. I have a child. I have a child. I have a child. I have a child. I have a child. And now I know he was telling the truth. I got cocky. I indulged myself in a knighthood for goodness sake. A knighthood. Without what? Checking that we had even severed the head of the snake. Dismembered the cruel, probing limbs of our enemy. Of course a convicted murderer on the run suddenly appeared in the Victoria Garadeb. Of course he did. He didn't come in the front door or the back or abseil from the ceiling. He came from below where he operates. And so clearly do others. Nathan reached out to John because he saw what he was. An ordinary kind man. We all know what he saw in me. What I see now. John went. John saw it and faced the threat head on. All the while I sat in a palace awaiting ceremonial praise. Do you think he can hear you right now? I have no idea. I don't think he can. You don't? No. Want to know why? Go on. Because if he could hear you he would rise up out of that bed and beat you over the head. Well that would be both miraculous and unpleasant. This is not your fault. This is not John's fault. You need to find him. He wouldn't want you to. You're not an employee. You don't go trying to reassure shareholders. This won't happen again. You be here for him. Like you have been. That's all he would want you to do. Be here with fear. Yes. With sadness. Of course. But with shame. And guilt? No. I'll be at home, Sherlock. Artie could do with a company. If the bullet didn't kill him. Knowing that you felt responsible in some way for what happened. That... That absolutely would. That absolutely would. That would end him. Cause of death? Sherlock Holmes is shame. Exactly. Thank you, Marianna. It's okay. It's okay. I'm sorry for ranting. It's okay. Rants can have a way of getting to the point. I rather appreciate them from time to time. Sorry for ranting, John. I'm only doing it because I love you both. I know you can hear us. I was just being... Well, kind of like you. Maybe I was channeling you. I don't know. Maybe this is the power of the microphone. What happens now? Oh, um... They have post-surgical scans to dock us through. I think. No. With that. The microphone? Oh. Oh, the show. Um, I will think about that. Yeah. I will think about it. And, yeah. I'll give you another message tomorrow. That's the latest from Carol for you. There's a few more fans here. Hi, John. Um, I heard from Marianna about what happened. I'm so sorry to hear that. And I'm sending you all the luck in the world. Get well soon, John. John, please get better soon. We miss you. And we love you. And you can do this. Stay strong. Please. Hi. I saw on your mum's Facebook that you weren't doing so well, John. Please take all the time that you can. We're all praying for you, John Watson. Lots of love. And another one has just popped up. Oh, my God, John. I'm so sorry to hear about what happened. I hope you're doing okay. I'm sending lots of love and positive thoughts. But I also think this does serve as a reminder. To stay out of my business, don't you think? Marianna sends his love so sad. No. So unfortunate. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
