Transcript

migraine is 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more.

Botox, onobotulinum toxin A, prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine before they start.

It's not for those with 14 or fewer headache days a month.

It prevents on average eight to nine headache days a month versus six to seven for placebo.

Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor.

Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms.

Alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition.

Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk.

Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection, site pain, fatigue, and headache.

Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms, and dizziness.

Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection.

Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, including ALS Lou Gehrig's disease, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert Eaton syndrome, and medications, including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.

Why wait?

Ask your doctor, visit BotoxchronicMigraine.com, or call 1-800-44-BOTOX to learn more.

Previously on Sherlock and Co., I'm Tom Huxtable.

I am the executive head teacher at Moorhill.

Come a bit of a sought-after spot for the offspring of tech billionaires.

One in particular, Benjamin Duke.

But we enrolled just his fourth boy a couple of years ago, Saltire Duke.

He went to bed at 10 p.m.

He's not been seen since.

Whoa, bloody hell.

Sorry.

Hello.

You made me jump there.

You've been in that school, I bet, sniffing around for that boy.

You have no idea what they do to them up there.

Footprint is facing the wall, so we climb down backwards, then pivot it.

And finally here, it meets another shoe designed for trekking.

Deep grooves, a claw-like pattern.

Terrain Beast, that's the claw pattern on the bottom.

That's the same as me.

That's Stefan in his Terrain Beast walking shoes, greeted Master Soltire Duke.

It would seem they headed eastwards.

Down the hill, Mardal.

Joe Waldo.

Hi, what is it you do for Benjamin Duke?

I'm his fixer.

Where do we stand?

Chief suspect is a Stefan Heidegger, teacher of German here at the school.

A line of sight on Soltire's room, a grudging attitude towards the student's background, and he is missing.

Blood, sure look, look.

It's all over this stone they picked up.

And look, it's...

Yeah, there's more than here.

Okay, Archie, I take you back.

You can sniff the boat now.

Come on.

Come on.

Holy shit.

Everyone, we are at our final part.

Please remain seated until the end of the podcast.

Light is illuminated.

I don't know where I can possibly go with this metaphor.

Look, just shut up for a bit, listen, and absorb the conclusion of this fascinating case.

I'll speak to you at the end.

Find out.

Over and out.

Bosch.

Bit over the Bosch thing now, to be honest, but it fits with the episode, doesn't it?

This is where you kind of have to involve the police.

And I have nothing.

Look, I have nothing against the police, against public servants.

You know, but we got this thing to the place where we wanted it due to the

competitive nature of these kinds of companies.

Sure, this private investigation team, sure.

Exactly.

Now,

they're always thinking, always adapting.

They're fluid, right?

You think about the police force, you often think about rigid policies, old workflows, permissions, all of this.

Look, it works on a macro scale, sure.

But

this is about moving fast.

So, what did they find?

Turn it over!

I am!

What's under there, John?

What's under the boat?

Holy shit.

More blood.

Yeah.

But nobody.

Correct?

Right.

Now, I'm gonna remind you again

that I am an officer of the law.

So I want the full truth.

Okay.

What exactly are the three of you lot

doing here?

Full

truth.

We're private investigators.

The school hired us.

Mm-hmm.

In the interest of discretion.

I believe.

For the school?

For

Benjamin Duke.

There was was a feeling.

I mean,

I don't know.

A large-scale manhunt for a billionaire's son would have been more problematic.

Problematic.

The who, exactly.

We're not in agreeance with Mr.

Duke on this matter.

But you still picked up the work anyway.

Right.

Well, Sherlock and Cole Limited.

We may have to look into an obstruction of justice against you, mind we?

Hmm?

How so?

How so?

You obstructed a police investigation.

The police investigation began half an hour ago when we called you.

Yeah, yeah, well, there is a common law duty to prevent crime.

A serious crime occurred, and you did not report it.

You are referring to Soltire Duke's disappearance.

Yes, I bloody am.

You want to help deliver criminal justice, mate.

How about you learn the laws of the United Kingdom, sir?

The school and his guardian refused to raise the alarm, mate.

The boy left of his own volition, and there is no statutory duty to report a missing person in the United Kingdom, sir.

Give me a bloody minute.

This ain't over.

Bosh.

Bosh indeed.

Cock.

Cock, yeah.

Like

cock.

No, not like cock, cock, cock.

You seem confused, Mariana.

But but but it uh cock?

C-O-C-K.

I know how to spell cock.

I'm just...

I'm...

Why would you call your pub that?

The fighting cock, like cockkerel.

Like cockerel?

Rooster.

Male chicken.

Oh, okay.

I mean, still, bold move, but whatever.

Well, it gets people talking, I suppose.

Right, come on.

Once the police make their way down here, we're buggered.

Someone has to be responsible for that boat.

Oh, yes, here we go.

Proper booze are right in the sticks.

Oh.

Hey, I like the beer pumps.

Yeah, very nice.

We are working.

No, I know, I know.

I'm just trying to sort of

blend in.

Yeah, the police won't, will they?

So we've got to play to our strengths.

Our strengths being what exactly?

My ability to have a pint.

Hi there.

I would love to try a

pint of

the ragged shore, please.

Pint of ragged shore, yep.

Lovely stuff.

What are you guys after?

Nothing, thank you.

Come on, Marie.

I'll take a Coke, please.

A Coke.

Great, wonderful.

Uh, Coke as well, please, mate.

Mm-hmm.

Wind's picking up.

Aye.

Comes down through Crag Hill.

Course, yep.

Yeah, drags all that deadwood into reservoir.

Oh, is that what's floating on it?

Aye, yeah.

Deadwood's alright, but anything else dead and they've got a problem, haven't they?

They?

Aye, water company.

You get a sheep or deer stumble in there, you've got contaminant, haven't you?

Right.

We test for that sort of thing on the outflow pipes.

all coming through, you see.

What is it?

Well, it's not water, let me tell you.

Nasty.

Not as easy as the cattle make it look.

Living on those steep hills in high winds.

Oh, there we go.

Pint of the ragged shore for you.

Thank you.

Whose boat is that?

What's that now?

There's a boat on the shingle.

Is that the water company?

Oh, right.

That'll be Hazy.

Hazy?

Aye, Reuben Hayes.

Lived here all his life.

Where exactly does he live?

Well, I can't go seeing stuff like that, can I?

Do you want to hire it or something?

Does he do that?

Boat hires?

Well, he'll do anything for a few quid.

Right.

Yeah, well, I mean, it's a great way to see the lakes, right?

To bobble along on top of them.

When are you uh wanting it for?

Uh

now?

Gee gods, no chance he's taking you out now.

What are we at?

Half six?

Well, can you leave him a note or something?

We can hire it for the morning.

Yeah, I'll do that for you.

100 quid.

Oh,

surely be bang up for that.

Looking forward to it.

Cheers.

I think I see him coming.

Oh, shit.

What?

That's that's the guy with the giant dog?

Your friend?

He's not my friend.

Definitely not my friend.

Mr.

Hayes?

Yes, something like that.

Ah, it's you.

With your little dogging.

Yep.

Back in Mardeir, liar.

Sir, Mackleton, no?

Almost, not quite.

You're from around here, Ruben, right?

They said in the pub you've been here your whole life.

Oh, I.

Mr.

Hayes, I was just wondering with your boat.

I don't know how to quite approach this.

They say put down roots, don't they?

That's what they say.

Never mention that they can be torn out of the dirt, though.

Do they?

Sorry, if this is another rhododendron metaphor, I really...

We have a serious situation here, Mr.

Hayes.

You see,

in the 1600s, my family came to work on the Holdness estate, not far up the road, actually.

Most of it's gone now.

There's some Michelin star monstrosity in its place.

But there weren't a great deal else up here.

No Encumbria, no Lancashire or Yorkshire.

To tell you the truth.

Then you got this.

Here.

Slate.

Slate.

Aye.

The mine's opened up when people realise you can make a damn good roof out of slate.

Turns out the stone up here can take a fair bit of weather thrown at it.

Before you know it, you are lining factory roofs within.

Mr.

Hayes, your boat.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I've got some life jackets here for you.

Let me prep it.

Factories and furnaces, eh?

The Industrial Revolution.

Bloody hell.

Revolution.

What did we topple?

Exactly.

Cleaned out the fields, the village pubs and churches, village bakeries and post offices, local smithies and butcher shops and schoolhouses, kids,

proper kids.

I mean, not like them lot up on the hill.

Gotta get a shuttle bus for twenty-five minutes just to get to school.

When I was their age, I walked it.

We all walked it'cause it were two minutes down road.

Now it's a bloody Airbnb.

Got a jacuzzi in the back for dirty buggers, no doubt.

Dirty buggers, right.

Is this in Mardale?

No.

No.

Mardale was my granddad's village.

And my dad's when you were young enough.

Oh, where is it?

Down there.

Down...

sorry, down where?

Down.

There.

In the water?

In the water.

It were a drove.

Like cattle, weren't it?

From country to city.

They all trudged into the factories and the workshops and the dockyards and they.

Manchester Manchester filled by the millions and they get thirsty, don't they?

They bleed the waterways dry, so they come here for it.

Every resident of Mardale were kicked out.

They shut the pub, bowed up the church, dug up the dead and flooded the place.

Down there, somewhere in the deep gloom,

is a place people were proud to call home.

A place where kids were raised, pints were had, sermons were bloodied.

The soul of this country is down there and they fucking drowned it.

They drowned it.

And for what?

To flog all the steelworks and assembly plants to every Yank, Chinaman, and God knows who else going.

To hell with it.

To hell with the day trippers and backpackers and hikers.

They're hiking on nothing but graves.

Mr.

Hayes.

And look who gets all the money, eh?

That school.

Full of sick bastards hungry for kiddie flesh.

Hey.

Mr.

Hayes.

You can see it.

You can see it when you talk to those.

Their eyes flicker like serpents.

I've bloody seen it.

They're sacrificing them to their gods.

And that's just the lucky ones.

Hey, enough.

Hey, just calm down.

You think I'm making all this up, don't you?

But you don't know what I know.

You don't see what I see or hear what I hear.

Yes, I do know.

You don't.

I do.

I don't understand it, of course, but I'm sure you'll reveal it.

Well, tell me what you don't understand.

Maybe I can...

I can help you out, eh?

What I don't quite understand is why you have dried blood under your fingernails.

Well, that's from.

That's from the dog.

He's.

well yes it could be because your dog discovered a body.

A body of a German tutor, I believe.

What did you do with the boy?

He didn't do anything with the boy.

Uh mr.

Hayes?

Mr.

Hayes, do you want to take a seat for a second?

No, he should answer me.

Where is Stefan Heidegger?

You're one of them I.

What is it now then, eh?

Some some dark sex tourism?

You and all your friends want a peace dear well this ain't epstein's island big lad this is a place of moral standing and we will fight you demons and smash out those sick fantasies with rocks between your fucking eyes okay that is enough enough so you're getting worked up reuben and this would be so much easier if you would just patronize me lad don't do it all right

Or you'll end up in there.

I'll ask again.

You can consider your response a rehearsal for the jury.

What

did you do, Mr.

Hayes?

You don't know.

Where is Stefan Heidegger, you crazed lunatic?

Where?

I don't see it.

Yeah, it'd be deadwood.

The water company are detecting contamination, so it'll be near the reservoir wall where it pulls the water through.

He said he tied it to the wood.

Yeah, yeah, just keep your eyes on the dam.

That's what the wind would have pushed it to.

Keep going.

I think I can see.

You see the floating wood?

Where?

There.

Uh, yes, yes.

It has rope tied around it.

Oh, man.

Oh, man.

Okay, okay.

The outlet.

Right, must be down there.

He's probably stuck in it.

Stop, Watson.

Stop.

Stop.

As best you can.

Yeah, trying.

Yeah, I'm gonna hit the wall in a sec.

This is it.

You'll be at the end of this.

He's heavy.

It's.

He's sucked into the pipe, I think.

Let me help.

It's working.

It's working.

Oh, you put him deep down there.

There's still more rope to go.

It's gone slack.

He's loose.

The body's floating to the surface.

Oh,

that's him.

Oh.

That's Stefan.

Salta!

Salter!

There's moths everywhere!

Oh light left on, that's why.

Soltaire!

You idiot!

We're the local police!

Can you hear me?

Oh my fucking god.

And they

found my son

hiding out

in in a local barn.

Like he found, and this is, think about this, this is total pitch darkness.

He's just been taken out of his school by some

predator, Stefan.

He gets led across these hills and moors in the dark.

Then this local guy, this Reuben...

guy, attacks his captor.

My boy makes a break for it.

Lays low, the police find him.

I mean, I think he knows, like he intuitively knows, the coast is clear, so he kind of makes himself know that,

yeah,

that's my son.

That is incredible.

He is incredible.

We have detained Reuben Hayes.

The blood under the fingernails, the rock dust all over him, blood in his boat, the bite marks on the body from the day round and

and all that

it's we're in no doubt that he killed Stefan Eideger

was it a lawful killing he will go on trial and the courts will determine that but reasonable force used in the defense of another

exactly particularly an abducted child

I'm sure Mr.

Hayes will be fine

it looks like we agree with one another

One moment.

Well, another

case closed.

Yeah, the German teacher and his prey.

And sadly, we didn't even get him.

Hey, look.

Sick Predator gets his head smashed in by local bloke.

We put it together, didn't we?

You know, we got the info that Soltire was in the barn, the police just acted on our behalf.

Yeah, I know, I know.

They're calling him a hero.

Old Reuben and Robbie, of course.

But and again, they haven't heard him ramble on about evil elite cults yet.

Right place, right time.

And right man, to be fair.

He convinced himself there's devils around him, then one lands in his lap with a child out in the darkness.

You want to go meet Soltire?

Yeah.

Yeah, we should, shouldn't we?

But, uh.

I think maybe let him

I don't know, come back to Earth for a bit.

He's probably still a bit spooked.

Yeah, I bet.

You okay, Shells?

Very quiet?

Hmm.

I think I will take the issue of payment up with Jim.

Yes, good point.

Good point.

If if it's, you know, the the the big amount, like he said before.

Yeah, exactly.

Then I think the finance heads, like you too, should tackle it.

I'll just go all weekend stuff.

Sure.

Come on.

Let's go.

Goodbye, fancy school.

Farewell.

Tennis courts, honestly.

I thought your school didn't have tennis courts.

What, yours did?

Uh, yeah.

God's sake.

You okay, mate?

He was barefoot.

Hmm?

Stefan, there was no.

terrain beast shoes.

I.

Yeah.

No, there wasn't.

I mean, we never would have found him with those things on.

He would have sunk straight to the bottom.

Yeah.

But look, Sherlock,

you know we know a lot, but we don't know everything.

I disagree.

I do know everything, and I'm not the only one.

Sorry?

He was in boxer shorts and a t-shirt, Watson.

It was

impromptu and unplanned.

No, wait, what?

Wait, thingy.

Hayes might have stripped him.

He said he told us everything.

Yeah, I know.

And what would he gain to strip a man down to his boxes and t-shirt?

And what did he do with his belongings?

And why does Stefan Heidegger apparently have size 12 footprints if he is at best a size 9?

Okay.

Well, this is a little enlightening, I have to say.

Yes, school remains in session, my my dear friends.

Right, okay, but that incoming helicopter is what, Watson?

Our paycheck?

Yes, yes, it is.

We were called out to rescue a child.

We did so.

I know we didn't find him in the barn, but we put the pieces together.

Come.

Where are you going?

Here they are!

Heroes!

A band of noble heroes.

Oh, guys.

Hey, oh my god.

My gratefulness is off the charts.

I just spoke to Saltire.

He's resting right now.

I hope that's okay.

He is so relieved and thankful.

Processing is actually one of his key strengths.

I am.

I just.

Wow.

You've done an amazing job.

Amazing.

Thank you, Mr.

Duke.

Benjamin, please.

And you're John Watson.

That's right, yep.

Mariana, And this is Sherlock.

Hello.

Good knowledge.

Attentiveness.

Key strength of mine.

Sir, this team has worked so hard to get Saltaire back.

Let's stop at you.

And I think we can probably go through the details.

Maybe.

On a call, maybe.

Oh, on a call.

Yes, amazing idea.

Amazing.

Amazing.

This is exactly what I required.

To see you both.

Right here.

Next to one another.

What's that?

Very pleasing.

I I am rather pleased with myself.

You should be, man.

Not as pleased as I am with you.

Right.

This has been...

A journey.

A journey.

Completely.

A trek.

Not the kind of peace and quiet people expect of the Lake District.

I'm gonna keep in touch with um

Ruben.

And we can keep everyone up to date with his situation behind bars.

For now.

And the eventual court appearance.

We're gonna pay for all that.

We'll get him out of there.

Oh, we should arrange interviews.

Yeah, yeah.

That's an amazing idea.

Great, yeah.

Yeah.

Excellent.

Wonderful.

Tremendous.

Okay, well.

How do we get out with this security gate?

Ah, here we are.

Hello, can I just get you to sign out if you're leaving for the moment?

Of course, Mr.

Wilder.

Perhaps you should go first.

Signing out?

Yes.

You're leaving the school grounds.

Safety measures.

Rather necessary now, I'd say.

Of course.

Name, time in, timeout, and date.

Sure.

Excellent.

And your father.

Sure.

You're up.

Oh, thanks.

Wait, what?

What the?

Um.

Sorry.

Sorry.

What did you.

You don't see the resemblance.

That's um

quite the uh observational skills you got there.

One of my key strengths, Benjamin.

Ah, yeah.

Good.

Very impressive.

Not one of Camille's children, then.

What did you say?

Jim Wilder here.

From a previous relationship.

A rather brief one, perhaps.

One while you were studying over here.

Is that mentioned in the book, Mariana?

He's skirts around it a little, but it is mentioned.

I didn't realize it was such a page-turner of tittle-tattle.

Your services are much

appreciated, but I gotta get things moving, including my son.

Out of here for a few weeks, so Jim, go grab a suitcase.

Of course, of course.

And what's his key strength, Mr.

Duke?

Envy?

Jealousy?

Coercion, perhaps?

So, the uh

what was I gonna Watson Mariana?

Could you give us a moment?

Yep, my phone.

It's recording.

Thank you.

It doesn't need to get out.

The truth, I'm afraid, will always, with great perseverance, flutter towards the light.

It is in its nature.

Jeep is a dumb kid.

He did some dumb shit.

And not for the first time, okay?

I got him under control.

He took his own brother.

Yeah, but he's too...

He hasn't got anything in him to actually do anything about it, right?

This is...

Boys fight for approval.

That's what they do.

Solty already has it.

Jim does not.

It's his son.

Can you believe her?

Can you actually believe her?

Why does he push him around and get him to do shit for him?

Because he's weird about his kids.

And what?

Jim is just like doing everything for him, trying to get his approval.

That is so bad yeah what do you think Sherlock is saying to him I don't know but I think our master detective is pretty pissed off yeah right I think that flutter of a thought you mentioned is about to full on take flight like some dragon and burn it all down speaking of burning please I cannot I give all the shoes are coming off yeah just for a second still not breaking them in

They are stubborn, okay?

Like the mighty ox.

Proud and stubborn and hardy.

Here they come.

Oh, great.

No, everyone arrives when I've taken my shoes off.

Hi, uh...

Hello.

Right.

Got the case.

I'm gonna just uh.

Oh, sorry, this is your car.

Yes, just uh to run a few things back to one of the hotels nearby.

Of course, of course.

Do you need a hand with that suitcase, Jim?

No, no.

It's okay.

Right.

Well, Sherlock, I hope we have an agreement.

We do indeed.

I'll have my finance guy reach out.

If you could.

Jim?

Sir?

Later.

Absolutely.

I'll be at the hotel around

five-ish, I'd expect.

Boot is full, so I'm gonna have to rejig him.

Sorry.

No problem.

Put these

down here for a sec.

And my gym bag.

Wishful thinking.

Right.

Lovely.

Space at last.

And you go.

Good work.

Done.

Dusted.

Okay.

Well,

good luck, Jim.

It was so nice meeting you.

Our German teacher is a hero, and you wish to paint him as the villain.

My kids are not responsible for that message.

Jim did not kill him, but he is responsible.

I've spoken to him, okay?

I've infirm that's the only thing he responds to.

He ran the moment Heidegger attacked him and rescued the boy.

Of course.

He's a pussy.

Heidegger led the child home along the water, and Mr.

Hayes caught him.

Half-naked, boy in tow.

You want to go defend that in court.

I wish you all the luck in the world, buddy.

But hey, if you do, that's a lot of money you're throwing away.

You know what this is?

Zero.

It's an extra zero.

Free your fee.

There we go.

Now he gets it.

Bye, mate.

Take it easy.

Will do.

Let me just put these bits and bobs back in the boot.

Oh, it's like Tetris, isn't it?

Can't forget the shoes.

Oh, wait.

Oh, sorry.

They're yours.

Not my ones.

Must be on the back seat.

Great shoes, aren't they?

Uh,

yeah, the the best.

Uh right.

Well

Sherlock, so good to properly meet you.

I feel like we're just properly meeting you now, Jim.

Huh?

Do you?

Yes.

Interesting inscription you left on the book to your half-brother.

This book is the key to understanding it all.

What would that be exactly, Jim?

The cruelty of the inheritance plan that cut you out?

That's not...

I didn't write that.

I assure you you did.

The handwriting matches the security sign-out details you just provided.

I'm...

not...

not quite sure I understand.

Yes, and I didn't for quite some time, but now I can certainly understand why an impressionable young boy would exit his dorm for his kindly older brother.

Nothing happened.

Nothing?

Nothing happened.

You kidnapped your enriched, favoured younger brother.

A boy given a life you could have only dreamt of, only to drag him halfway across the hillside and be chased away by a half-naked German tutor.

I did not.

No, you did not kill him.

But somebody did.

And it was all because of you.

And if you'd had it your way,

what exactly would have happened?

You would have killed Saltire.

No!

What then?

Ransom?

No, No, I

just want it.

You will want for many things where you are going, Jim.

Please.

No.

What?

What's gonna happen to me?

What's gonna happen to me?

Let's just say

I wouldn't want to be in your shoes.

You're

oh, this is such shit!

Um, aren't we gonna go after him?

We shall.

When?

Exactly?

I think we'll let the podcast speak for itself.

I'll remind Gwen to give it a listen.

Sherlock, he is getting away.

Yes, and we're getting paid in the next three to five business days.

And I wouldn't want to jeopardise that right now.

See, I think justice might outweigh payment, as painful as that is to admit.

And I agree.

But it would be nice to take out the billionaire, too, would it not?

Only the full story will do that.

Class is dismissed.

Right, and we disconnected the gas homes just in case.

Yeah, and the fire pits are nice and clean, too.

Oh, yeah, and we didn't know what to do with the sheets.

Wicked sold those, we can sort them

fantastic.

Have you enjoyed your stay, have you?

In the car?

Actually, you know what?

I was a bit sceptical at first, but I think there's something about it that you know really makes you connect with your surroundings.

Hey, hold on, you need to pump out your toilet waste.

Right.

Just move.

Archie, I'm carrying litres of piss here.

Please move.

Right.

Just connect the pump.

And here we go.

Ah, ah, no, no, gross.

Gross.

Oh, the fucking shoes.

Oh,

these are not, not waterproof.

Oh, I can feel that in my sock.

Oh, for God's sake.

Okay,

here is what's happened since we sent this adventure to Benjamin Duke's team.

They ignored it.

We chased, ignored, chased again.

And then he finally just put out a statement on his son, Jim Wilder.

on the character assassination of Stefan Heidegger and he says he will accommodate the authorities in any way he can.

So that's good.

Then the German Chancellor himself here just tweeted that he wants recognition for Heidegger's heroic efforts.

I couldn't agree more.

I will keep you guys posted on that, but it looks promising.

Not if you're Benjamin Duke or Jim Wilder, but yeah, they can do one.

Bye!
