Speaker 7 You join us, lovely listeners, as we head across Lake Geneva to investigate the disappearance of Lady

Speaker 12 Good Lord.

Speaker 7 Nearly called her Lady Frances Carfax. The disappearance of Penny Montgomery.

Speaker 13 Do you have the guest's room number?

Speaker 9 I don't.

Speaker 7 No, she she left. She's vacated the room.

Speaker 9 I'm actually

Speaker 7 a doctor. It's some very, very important medical information.

Speaker 13 I have a phone number for her if this is a medical emergency.

Speaker 7 Yeah, no, that's not working anyway.

Speaker 13 Um, my colleague tells me another doctor came to see her.

Speaker 7 Came to see her when?

Speaker 13 After she had already left.

Speaker 9 What was his name?

Speaker 13 Dr. Schlesinger.
It says a man called yesterday asking for the description of Dr. Schlesinger.

Speaker 11 Who called?

Speaker 7 What was the name of the person who asked for his description?

Speaker 13 I can see the call log. It says the caller was it was you.

Speaker 12 It's what?

Speaker 11 Eh, what the caller

Speaker 13 you you gave the name Dr. John Watson

Speaker 13 you then asked for a visual description of Schlesinger no I didn't my colleague provided the description and then you interrupted my colleague it wasn't me like you are interrupting me now

Speaker 13 and you asked about his ear his ear is this some sort of amusing prank well apparently yes and I seem to be the target

Speaker 11 my name is Penny Montgomery I am

Speaker 16 being held.

Speaker 11 No.

Speaker 16 Against my will.

Speaker 11 Please.

Speaker 12 Please help me.

Speaker 11 The ransom is five million US dollars.

Speaker 9 I'm calling it.

Speaker 7 It's happening. It's go time.

Speaker 10 Oh, crap.

Speaker 11 You need to get to Alexandria.

Speaker 7 Alexandria in Egypt. Yep, we can do that.
You land.

Speaker 7 You prove to me where you are and that you are alone.

Speaker 7 Then we can meet.

Speaker 1 Is this the place?

Speaker 12 Apparently.

Speaker 3 Okay, make the call. Now, John, please.

Speaker 7 Now you need the proof we're here.

Speaker 3 You take a picture of us with the gateway to the Alexandria port behind us.

Speaker 11 Uh-huh, great.

Speaker 11 Hey.

Speaker 11 What?

Speaker 7 What, Mariana? What are you doing? Shhh.

Speaker 12 What?

Speaker 3 In the picture.

Speaker 7 The picture?

Speaker 3 The one we just took? Look.

Speaker 18 Can you see?

Speaker 3 In the background, behind us.

Speaker 10 Oh, shit.

Speaker 19 Bearded man.

Speaker 7 Alright, listen, mate. I don't recall seeing a gun in that video, and it looks to me like you're all alone now.

Speaker 10 Get fucked.

Speaker 10 Please, please.

Speaker 20 Bring it to me. No, DRIC!

Speaker 11 Run, Mariana! John! Run!

Speaker 7 Welcome to the final part of the disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax. Please go ahead and enjoy the rest of this adventure.
And I will see you at the end. Swearing, fighting, arguing, distress.

Speaker 7 You know the drill.

Speaker 20 Bring her to me. No! Do it! Run, Mariana! John!

Speaker 11 Run!

Speaker 11 Stay down!

Speaker 11 What have you done with her?

Speaker 17 Why have you pursued her?

Speaker 3 Help, please, sir!

Speaker 11 My friend, he's being attacked.

Speaker 20 Mariana, I said run!

Speaker 21 Call him off!

Speaker 11 Call him off!

Speaker 4 No! Call who off!

Speaker 11 Me!

Speaker 22 Get back, or I strike again!

Speaker 11 Please!

Speaker 2 Get back.

Speaker 22 Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Speaker 11 Oh my god, are you okay? Hey, hey. Yeah, yeah.
Are you okay?

Speaker 18 Fuck, man, God.

Speaker 10 I'm okay.

Speaker 22 Hey, thank you. Stay back, please.

Speaker 20 No, no, no, no, I'm not. I'm not.

Speaker 9 I just

Speaker 8 want to thank you. Not necessary, sir.

Speaker 3 Oh, oh, it's very necessary.

Speaker 7 Exactly. That guy.

Speaker 7 That is a dangerous man and very strong.

Speaker 23 Jesus, my arm. It is okay.

Speaker 1 I help.

Speaker 23 You are very short. He is tall.

Speaker 6 Well,

Speaker 24 yeah, alright. Um...

Speaker 19 You know, I'm probably average height, so.

Speaker 18 He is a smart fighter.

Speaker 22 A big brain.

Speaker 23 Yours is perhaps a little small, sir. The brain of a silly little man, I would say, who should really apply, how you say, critical thinking skills before.

Speaker 19 Oh, hold on a minute.

Speaker 23 But anyway, have a pleasant evening in the...

Speaker 7 Oh, Oh, God's sake.

Speaker 23 Please, sir, please return my scarf.

Speaker 7 Take the tash off.

Speaker 23 This is my moustache. It is who I am.
A key part of my identity.

Speaker 11 Ow!

Speaker 11 Watson!

Speaker 25 Sherlock! What the hell are you doing?

Speaker 11 What am I doing?

Speaker 2 What are you two doing?

Speaker 7 Um, cracking the case. Saving people's lives, mate.

Speaker 23 By attacking Philip?

Speaker 7 Who the fuck is Philip?

Speaker 11 You leave her alone.

Speaker 7 No, you leave her alone, you big beardy idiot.

Speaker 23 This is Philip Green. He's a friend of Penny Montgomery's.
How do you know who I am?

Speaker 23 Because I know everything about this case, unlike everyone else present on this bloody dockyard.

Speaker 7 What is going on?

Speaker 23 Philip arrived in Lausanne to warn her.

Speaker 15 No,

Speaker 7 because he

Speaker 7 the manager told us he turned up and she legged it.

Speaker 22 Because I told her too, you big stupid idiot.

Speaker 7 Oh, do you want me to blacken the other eye, mate?

Speaker 15 Yeah?

Speaker 22 You can try it.

Speaker 23 Philip has been following Penny to make sure she is safe. She is being pursued by this Schlesinger fellow.
Well, we know he's not Schlesinger.

Speaker 7 Oh, we know that, do we?

Speaker 23 Yes, we do. Despite you making a hash of the whole investigation.
What are you?

Speaker 7 Sherlock, mate. I don't know if you know this, but the kidnapper and Penny Montgomery are here in the port somewhere.

Speaker 23 Yes, and I know where they are.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I think their container is over there.

Speaker 22 Nope.

Speaker 23 Wrong again.

Speaker 8 Oh, now I know why the port worker I spoke to earlier was so bloody rude. It was you.

Speaker 23 Philip, Philip, I suggest you find your way back home. I can take it from here.
Is she.

Speaker 23 Are you going to rescue her? Yes, I should think so.

Speaker 23 Depends.

Speaker 23 Depends. On when the video was recorded.
Our kidnapper isn't present with the victim. He edited her into the video.
They aren't pictured together, see?

Speaker 16 Please help me.

Speaker 23 Sometimes that can be an indicator the victim is already dead.

Speaker 14 Oh, Jesus Christ.

Speaker 23 Or hopefully he isn't actually in the presence of her. She is being held somewhere else.

Speaker 3 You think he's faking it? He's he's not a North African pirate.

Speaker 23 We have spoken about him before, Mariana. I expected better from you.

Speaker 3 Oh, wow. Did you really?

Speaker 18 Yes.

Speaker 23 I won't make that mistake again.

Speaker 2 So can I leave?

Speaker 7 Yes, Philip, bugger off.

Speaker 21 Shut up. Oh, you shut up.

Speaker 23 You spoke to the hotel in Baden-Baden, did you not?

Speaker 7 Of course I did.

Speaker 23 I even left an inquiry in your name to make life easier.

Speaker 15 Oh, you did that.

Speaker 7 Great.

Speaker 8 Great. Were you actually gonna tell me that?

Speaker 7 Were you gonna let me know I had this little record in my name I could tap into?

Speaker 23 I'm busy. I can't message.

Speaker 21 Then voice note, like everyone else does. You never voice note.
Just communicate.

Speaker 8 You should communicate better.

Speaker 23 Ask the right questions for a start.

Speaker 7 Oh, once again, it's my fault, is it?

Speaker 23 Yes. Did it even cross your mind to ask about Dr.
Schlesinger's ears?

Speaker 21 Why would anyone do that?

Speaker 23 Anyone would not.

Speaker 23 But people that have spoken to her former assistant, people that were informed about the man who has since taken complete control of her entire professional life, would know that he had...

Speaker 3 A torn ear.

Speaker 23 A torn ear.

Speaker 24 But it wa.

Speaker 21 So, I'm sorry.

Speaker 7 I'm expected to ask about people's ears now, am I?

Speaker 22 Yes, of course you bloody are.

Speaker 21 Sorry, I was busy, you know, doing literally everything else for this case.

Speaker 23 Oh, like speaking with the irregulars, like inquiring with nearly a dozen bookmakers in London, sitting down with loan sharks and gamblers just in order to comprehend the torture this woman has put herself through with such an addiction, an addiction that has seen her throw away millions on horses and dogs and football and slot machines and card games, an addiction that has made her pawn every beloved possession just to satisfy her creditors, even franchise her own person, her own very being and identity to this cruelest cruelest of lenders.

Speaker 23 A man she has since fled across damn near all of Europe.

Speaker 7 Mr. Peters?

Speaker 23 Yes, Mr. Peters.

Speaker 23 Thank you.

Speaker 23 Some sense at last. Right.

Speaker 7 Well, there's no need to be rude.

Speaker 23 You punched a man in the face, Watson.

Speaker 14 I wasn't thinking.

Speaker 3 Oh, you were thinking. You were thinking.
You were thinking about me and about Penny.

Speaker 11 Stand up to him, John.

Speaker 7 He's right, though.

Speaker 7 I've completely balled this up.

Speaker 21 Yes, Philip, all right. Goodbye.

Speaker 3 Bye, Philip.

Speaker 20 I'm going to uh

Speaker 7 I'm just gonna get a flight home. I wanna go see Arch.

Speaker 3 John.

Speaker 7 See you back there.

Speaker 7 Good luck with the case.

Speaker 3 No, John.

Speaker 11 What's wrong, Wilton?

Speaker 25 You are depriving yourself of the Lord's annual ball.

Speaker 17 But I don't like his ball, Lady Frances.

Speaker 24 How would you not like the Lord's ball?

Speaker 25 He hosts the grandest balls in the country, Wilton.

Speaker 17 Ma'am, I have never liked his balls. His balls remind me that I am a simple man, with simple pleasures, and I will never be pleasured by the Lord and his balls.

Speaker 25 Wilton, I feel like something else is bothering you, and it is not Lord Chunley's balls.

Speaker 17 No, ma'am.

Speaker 8 It is not.

Speaker 25 You are invaluable, Wilton.

Speaker 17 It is seldom that I think it so, ma'am. Because you don't think.

Speaker 7 Well, that doesn't help at all, Lady Frances.

Speaker 17 You feel.

Speaker 25 It is your heart that I need.

Speaker 25 Not your education, your analysis, nor your expert knowledge of county cricket.

Speaker 17 I certainly know my way around the crease.

Speaker 21 You do indeed.

Speaker 25 And you know and love people in a way that I wish I could.

Speaker 17 Do I indeed, ma'am?

Speaker 8 You do.

Speaker 14 Come,

Speaker 17 let's dance.

Speaker 18 Let's,

Speaker 17 Lady Frances.

Speaker 7 Excuse me, sorry.

Speaker 6 Sorry.

Speaker 9 Sorry.

Speaker 6 Oh,

Speaker 11 Hi.

Speaker 2 Ah, refill.

Speaker 7 Thank you very much.

Speaker 19 Very kind.

Speaker 9 Coffee, thank you.

Speaker 9 Right, before we chat, I'm abroad.

Speaker 7 Okay, and I don't want an earful in a few weeks' time when you get a bill because you chat to me when I was in Egypt.

Speaker 16 Oh, what are you doing in Egypt?

Speaker 15 Working. At the pyramids?

Speaker 11 No.

Speaker 16 Why not?

Speaker 8 Well, because I'm not, I dunno, a pharaoh.

Speaker 16 Are you solving crime in Egypt now? I heard this thing about crime in Egypt.

Speaker 7 Oh, great. This will be well observed, I imagine.

Speaker 16 And I heard that if they, the Egyptian authorities, that is, find heroin up your bottom,

Speaker 16 they have the legal right, the legal right, John,

Speaker 16 to plug your

Speaker 16 rear end, as it were, permanently to ensure that you won't repeat the offence.

Speaker 15 Right, where on earth did you hear that?

Speaker 16 In Swindon. Of course.
Actually, no, wait, it wasn't Swindon.

Speaker 16 It was Liddington.

Speaker 7 Right, so not Swindon, but a mile and a half outside of Swindon.

Speaker 16 Oh, wait. You're not there for Lady Frances Carfax.

Speaker 7 Her name is Penny Montgomery, and yes, we are looking into it.

Speaker 27 What have you discovered?

Speaker 7 Well, nothing last night, but nice little cafe this morning.

Speaker 16 Oh, well, go and find her, will you, for goodness sake, John?

Speaker 15 Yeah, sure, will do, mum.

Speaker 16 How are you? How's the boy? How's the girl? How's the fat lad?

Speaker 15 Yes.

Speaker 7 By fat lad, you mean Archie. He is fine, as long as he doesn't hear abuse like that.
Uh, yeah, the girl is great.

Speaker 6 As always, the boy is

Speaker 7 testing my patience. What?

Speaker 16 Lovely Sherlock?

Speaker 7 Yeah, you're the only person that calls him that, mum.

Speaker 11 What's wrong?

Speaker 9 He's just.

Speaker 9 He.

Speaker 8 I don't know, he only cares about results, and it just

Speaker 7 really pisses me me off. Like he doesn't pay any attention to the effort that people put in.

Speaker 7 You know, how much people care.

Speaker 7 He just cares about...

Speaker 7 I don't know, whatever.

Speaker 8 I'm just gonna get him all wound up.

Speaker 16 It's not his fault.

Speaker 6 No, it actually is.

Speaker 16 It's this society. It's the way we raise people like Sherlock in this bloody country.

Speaker 7 Sorry, he gets it out because of societal issues.

Speaker 7 Why was I never extended this courtesy? When I threw a snail onto the M4, you didn't blame society.

Speaker 16 Yes, because that was monstrous, John.

Speaker 8 I was eight.

Speaker 7 It was a snail. You go on about it like I trapped a corgi on there, for God's sake.

Speaker 16 Society will force boys like Sherlock to be everything apart from who they are. We never let them express themselves because we don't like it when they do.

Speaker 16 So they become unsure and agitated and so tense about how things should be because we've done nothing but badger them their whole lives about how things should bloody be.

Speaker 11 Mum.

Speaker 16 He loves you, John. He loves you so much.

Speaker 11 Anna.

Speaker 16 And you love him.

Speaker 16 You think the world of your little girl.

Speaker 11 Yeah.

Speaker 16 So how he expresses himself means nothing, does it?

Speaker 13 Really?

Speaker 16 If I tell you that you're, I don't know, a little shit for smashing Denise's garden gnome.

Speaker 7 Again, eight years old.

Speaker 10 Complete accident.

Speaker 16 Do you think I love you any less if I shout at you?

Speaker 15 No.

Speaker 16 Do you think he loves you any less because he's frustrated with whatever his work thing is?

Speaker 12 No.

Speaker 16 Then what do you want?

Speaker 6 I.

Speaker 7 want to do something right.

Speaker 16 And he wants the same thing, John. He wants you to win.

Speaker 16 And you have to surround yourself with people like that. You have to.

Speaker 16 You've lost your dad, you've lost your girlfriend. That's two people that wanted you to win at life, and they've both popped their clogs.

Speaker 12 Don't say pop their clogs.

Speaker 16 You've got me attending church services now. I'm convinced I haven't got long.

Speaker 13 Hey, there's that laugh.

Speaker 15 Yeah.

Speaker 9 Um, I've actually, I've

Speaker 9 got to go.

Speaker 16 You go, lovely.

Speaker 23 Thanks, mum.

Speaker 16 You're welcome. Be careful in Egypt.
They all carry machetes. I saw it in the mail.
Right.

Speaker 9 Bye, mum.

Speaker 16 Bye, lovely boy.

Speaker 3 I looked in the bars first.

Speaker 7 Yeah, I thought you would, so I deceived you and went for a coffee.

Speaker 3 Clever.

Speaker 12 Yeah, I have my moments.

Speaker 11 Come, let's go.

Speaker 6 Where?

Speaker 3 Well, this you might like.

Speaker 3 I've got a shine, got a brand new look about me.

Speaker 18 Thank you, Sam. Hi,

Speaker 6 I'm sorry.

Speaker 11 Me too.

Speaker 3 I just

Speaker 3 pay one at a time.

Speaker 21 Done.

Speaker 1 You go.

Speaker 10 I just want a bit of credit for crying sometimes.

Speaker 7 I know I'm 35 and that's pathetic, but maybe I am pathetic.

Speaker 23 And you deserve it.

Speaker 8 You're good at these things.

Speaker 7 I'm not. It's okay.

Speaker 23 It's not okay.

Speaker 7 High five and a hug should do it, mate. Don't worry.

Speaker 23 Absolutely.

Speaker 7 So this place is pretty banging.

Speaker 12 They're docked.

Speaker 23 They can't leave until the police are satisfied that she's not here.

Speaker 11 Oh.

Speaker 7 Okay.

Speaker 22 And is she here?

Speaker 23 Hmm, I believe so.

Speaker 23 We just have to ask the right person.

Speaker 7 Would this person

Speaker 7 have a torn ear, perhaps?

Speaker 23 They would indeed.

Speaker 21 Oh, let's go find him.

Speaker 23 If you thought goldenly breaded McDonald's chicken couldn't get more golden, think golder because new sweet and smoky special edition gold sauce is here.

Speaker 23 Made for your chicken favorites at Participate in McDonald's for limited time.

Speaker 2 Charlie Sheen is an icon of decadence.

Speaker 28 I lit the fuse and my life turns into everything it wasn't supposed to be. He's going the distance.

Speaker 26 He was the highest paid TV star of all time. When it started to change, it was quick.

Speaker 2 He kept saying, no, no, no, I'm in the hospital now, but next week I'll be ready for the show.

Speaker 23 Now, Charlie's sober. He's going to tell you the truth.

Speaker 28 How do I present this with any class?

Speaker 23 I think we're past that, Charlie.

Speaker 28 We're past that, yeah.

Speaker 18 Somebody call action.

Speaker 2 AKA Charlie Sheen, only on Netflix, September 10th.

Speaker 1 Hello, Nigel here. As an owl, I love to be awake all night, but allergy sufferers like you probably don't feel the same.
So take Zyzole at night to relieve allergies while you sleep.

Speaker 1 Then wake up fully refreshed for a more productive day. Zyzel works fast and offers 24-hour continuous relief from sneezing, runny nose, itchy watery eyes, and itchy nose and throat.

Speaker 1 So you can enjoy doing the things you love all day long. Bewise all, take Zyzol at night.
Use this directed, starts working in 45 minutes.

Speaker 7 Not much luck in here.

Speaker 23 I can't say I see anyone that matches his description.

Speaker 3 Okay, so I spoke to the staff.

Speaker 7 So he should be in these communal areas.

Speaker 10 What we got?

Speaker 21 The ballroom, Poolside.

Speaker 23 I've checked Poolside.

Speaker 7 Casino.

Speaker 25 I mean I didn't see him, but we should check it again.

Speaker 10 No, it's okay, I believe you.

Speaker 7 Two restaurants.

Speaker 8 I'll take the restaurants and I'll meet you in the Lido lounge for a spot of bingo.

Speaker 17 Right, then eyes down, dabbers at the ready.

Speaker 24 Time for a bit of bingo.

Speaker 11 Last call for cars. Last call for go.
Hello, love.

Speaker 11 Calling us late, aren't you? Eh?

Speaker 18 You're hoping for a prize if you win.

Speaker 11 A bloody watch.

Speaker 24 Where you from, love? Tell us where you're from.

Speaker 6 Bernoulli. Sorry?

Speaker 18 Bernoulli. No, no, I heard you, love.

Speaker 24 I'm just sorry.

Speaker 11 Oh, we'll be having it on.

Speaker 8 I'm a Lancashire Lamb myself. Right, go on, off you go.
Sit down, sit down.

Speaker 17 Right, for those of you who just joined us, we're about to kick off tonight's bingo bonanza live from the Lido Lounge.

Speaker 10 And yes, we are still docked in Alexandria.

Speaker 24 Land of the pyramids, pharaohs, and now, bloody pensioners.

Speaker 17 Ancient Egypt, eh?

Speaker 6 Blow me neck.

Speaker 24 I wonder what it was like back then, me?

Speaker 10 Well, mind you, we don't need to wonder, do we?

Speaker 22 Half of you lower bloody there.

Speaker 18 Easy, John.

Speaker 17 Anyway, tonight's jackpot is absolutely massive. All right, could buy you about ten cratefuls of Cleopatra's eyeliners, and no pressure, folks, all right? Tab carefully, play fair.

Speaker 17 Remember, no shouting, bingo, unless you're absolutely sure.

Speaker 11 Okay, this is

Speaker 11 a crowd.

Speaker 3 I didn't know bingo was so popular.

Speaker 7 Well, the Brits are on board in droves, so I can assure you this bingo hall is seeing plenty of action.

Speaker 6 Shall we take a seat?

Speaker 9 Yeah, let's grab a card.

Speaker 14 Right.

Speaker 22 Yeah, here we go.

Speaker 11 Okay.

Speaker 23 No sign in the restaurants.

Speaker 8 Good lord, this is busy.

Speaker 3 Yeah, bingo is

Speaker 3 popular, apparently.

Speaker 23 What's going on?

Speaker 11 What's that?

Speaker 7 Bingo card.

Speaker 3 John, I feel like we don't fit in.

Speaker 23 And if we don't fit in, our target will sense it and flee.

Speaker 7 We need to fit in, don't we? Sit down.

Speaker 3 Okay, um,

Speaker 3 how does it work?

Speaker 8 Mark your card if one of your numbers is called

Speaker 23 he just shouted a cup of tea.

Speaker 23 Why are you

Speaker 23 what are you doing?

Speaker 7 Cup of tea?

Speaker 18 Number three.

Speaker 23 How do you know this?

Speaker 7 I was raised by Carol Watson and her mother.

Speaker 7 That's how.

Speaker 7 What can you see out there?

Speaker 3 I've never looked so closely at people's ears before.

Speaker 23 Look for someone playing alone.

Speaker 4 Oh, there's a guy over there.

Speaker 3 Near the speaker. And

Speaker 3 another one, kind of.

Speaker 3 Near the bar.

Speaker 9 Mariana, keep looking. I'm going to call the number.

Speaker 11 Yeah, call him now.

Speaker 23 The gentleman near the bar. What's he doing?

Speaker 23 Glancing at his phone.

Speaker 11 Did he just he just rejected it?

Speaker 23 Yes, and I saw him do it.

Speaker 11 This could be our guy.

Speaker 6 Bugger.

Speaker 11 What?

Speaker 23 I need him to turn to confirm.

Speaker 25 Sure, look, we literally just saw him.

Speaker 23 I saw a late middle-aged man glance at his phone and touched the screen.

Speaker 23 We tackle him to the ground for that.

Speaker 3 Okay, wow, why are we hitting and tackling people all the time?

Speaker 23 He's stocky. His skin is somewhat weathered, as Marie informed.
He has the glasses, the jewellery.

Speaker 3 None of that really helps with this

Speaker 23 clientele. My thoughts, exactly.

Speaker 23 One turn of the head.

Speaker 6 One look at that ear, and we have our man.

Speaker 7 Well, I can sort that for you, mate.

Speaker 21 How? Bingo!

Speaker 23 And there it is.

Speaker 23 Bingo indeed.

Speaker 3 Well played.

Speaker 7 Dr. Schlesinger, I presume.

Speaker 11 Sorry?

Speaker 3 Or is it Mr. Peters?

Speaker 11 Fuck off. Do you mind?

Speaker 1 I'm trying to have a quiet drink.

Speaker 23 Charged back to cabin 294, I noticed.

Speaker 1 You should have been noticing.

Speaker 11 Excuse me, Plicky.

Speaker 6 Now,

Speaker 23 a rather fun fact about Cabin Cabin 294. It once was used by TV Royalty

Speaker 23 Penny Montgomery.

Speaker 11 Was it now?

Speaker 23 Very sad.

Speaker 10 I believe she is in a difficult situation, isn't she?

Speaker 3 Well, not for much longer, Mr. Peters.

Speaker 19 What's that now? Where is she?

Speaker 11 I don't know.

Speaker 2 Sooner they find her, sooner we can leave.

Speaker 23 And that would be good news for you, would it?

Speaker 10 Of course.

Speaker 23 Is that because you'd like to visit Tunis and Malta? Or is that because she owes you over 600,000 pounds? And you can continue to extort her desperation?

Speaker 23 Tell me, holy Peters, as they call you on Chancery Lane.

Speaker 11 Alright, that's in town.

Speaker 23 Jesus Christ. Why did you let greed win

Speaker 23 after seeing what it did to others?

Speaker 23 Five million, honestly. If you really did risk it all to make yourself a fortune,

Speaker 23 she must be right here in Alexandria.

Speaker 11 No,

Speaker 23 nothing to add.

Speaker 23 The deal almost went ahead, and you're telling me you don't know where she is.

Speaker 23 You had millions coming your way, and you couldn't even recall where you'd left her.

Speaker 3 The Egyptian police are here.

Speaker 23 Ah, yes, they may come in handy. If he's persevering with the wall of silence, then their batons might be able to bash it down.

Speaker 11 Caesar. a

Speaker 7 oh, I heard a little noise then, Sherlock.

Speaker 23 Yes, I believe the truth may have come climbing up the throat of Mr. Peters here,

Speaker 23 albeit somewhat involuntarily. That's the thing with the truth, Mr.
Peters. No matter how hard you try to bury it, it will always find its way out.

Speaker 1 She's

Speaker 1 the luggage.

Speaker 23 What luggage?

Speaker 23 Oversized luggage room on E-Deck.

Speaker 21 Down here.

Speaker 11 What does he mean oversized?

Speaker 7 For people carrying things outside their usual suitcase size, like um

Speaker 21 I don't know, equipment or boating stuff or bikes.

Speaker 11 It's ah, here. Here.

Speaker 10 Let me help.

Speaker 7 Mariana, we'll turn the latch.

Speaker 10 You pull the door. Ready?

Speaker 11 Ready.

Speaker 21 Hello! Penny!

Speaker 28 We need to check every- Shh.

Speaker 21 Back there! Right at the back! Penny!

Speaker 8 We're coming!

Speaker 3 We can't hear you, Penny!

Speaker 3 I can't!

Speaker 17 I can't breathe!

Speaker 17 I think.

Speaker 14 Is she in here?

Speaker 21 No.

Speaker 25 Oh, this just could be.

Speaker 11 Penny!

Speaker 3 Penny, are you in here, Penny?

Speaker 3 Nothing in here. Penny!

Speaker 8 God, she's gone quiet. Let me think.

Speaker 23 She's losing air, or possibly being poisoned by an abundance of CO2. The police search began 12 hours ago.
He would have had to seal her in something in here.

Speaker 3 Yeah, we know this, Sherlock.

Speaker 23 But it is now that suffocation takes place. So what size container? The average adult consumes roughly 550 litres of pure oxygen per day, which breaks down to about

Speaker 23 100 an hour. Air is only 21% oxygen, so to maintain safe levels, she needs approximately 110 to 120 litres of air every hour.
Multiply that by 12 hours, that's at least 1300.

Speaker 23 No, 1500 litres of breathable air, and that's the bare minimum. But that's assuming perfect oxygen efficiency, which doesn't exist.

Speaker 23 Once the oxygen dips below 16%, she'll lose consciousness and carbon dioxide will start building up, which is arguably deadlier.

Speaker 10 Sherlock, let me get on with it.

Speaker 23 2,500, preferably 3,000 litres of air. That's about three cubic meters, a substantive coffin.
Far too small. Maybe 0.8 cubic meters at most.
She'd have an hour, maybe two.

Speaker 23 Not in here anyway, a shipping crate still too small.

Speaker 8 Oh my god, hurry up!

Speaker 21 Sherlock!

Speaker 23 A Greek revival-style amour in dark-stained walnut with brass claw feet and a faux antique keyhole 1830s design 2020 restoration and purchased just a few days ago.

Speaker 23 In road, two meters high, 1.2 wide, 1.25 deep. That's three cubic meters, 3,000 litres of air, enough for 12 hours.

Speaker 11 Just let me.

Speaker 25 Penny, we've got you, okay?

Speaker 21 It's okay, it's alright, it's all right.

Speaker 11 It's okay, it's okay, it's alright. It's okay.
Okay, Penny. It's okay, it's over.
Okay, it's okay.

Speaker 23 Penny Montgomery. It's okay.
It's okay. I don't typically allow much reprieve for those that attempt to deceive me, but I will for you.

Speaker 15 What?

Speaker 23 You won't escape questioning, but I will at least allow you to come home to face it.

Speaker 23 I hope there will be no next time, but airflow and supply needs to be considered if you attempt such a stunt again.

Speaker 23 Quite unlike television, isn't it, Penny?

Speaker 25 It was his idea.

Speaker 23 But you played your part in the performance, as always,

Speaker 11 did you not,

Speaker 11 Penny?

Speaker 29 Miss Montgomery is present alongside her legal counsel, Mr. Wright.

Speaker 29 This is D.I.

Speaker 11 McKinnon, and with me, D.S.

Speaker 29 Bryant. Time is 7:14am on the 25th.

Speaker 29 Penny, how are you doing?

Speaker 18 Good to be home.

Speaker 27 It is.

Speaker 29 Can I confirm your movements over the past few weeks? London to Lausanne?

Speaker 11 Mm-hmm.

Speaker 29 To Baden region in Germany. To a Mediterranean cruise.

Speaker 27 That's correct.

Speaker 29 Quite the journey. Yeah.

Speaker 29 Why, Penny? Why leave and not tell anyone?

Speaker 27 I was

Speaker 27 running away.

Speaker 29 From Mr. Peters?

Speaker 29 Is that right?

Speaker 27 That's right. Yes.

Speaker 29 And it was a friend, a Mr.

Speaker 11 Mr. Greene.

Speaker 29 Philip Green, who tracked you down to Luzon.

Speaker 11 To warn me, yes.

Speaker 27 Of Mr. Peters looking for me.

Speaker 27 He is a

Speaker 29 shrewd operator.

Speaker 27 He

Speaker 27 occupies a space between, um, sort of.

Speaker 27 I don't know how to put it.

Speaker 11 Well, gambling and crime.

Speaker 27 Yes.

Speaker 29 It's uh quite the sum you owe him, isn't it?

Speaker 27 In monetary terms, our relationship is somewhat uneven.

Speaker 27 In other terms, he has collected more than enough from me.

Speaker 29 All good detectives, as I'm sure our mutual friend explained to you, excel in observation.

Speaker 29 Your observation of Mr. Peter's shrewdness is very acute, Penny.

Speaker 29 He recorded your plan

Speaker 29 to conceal yourself, to fabricate a hostage taken, to

Speaker 29 let me see from your words, and I quote:

Speaker 29 To secure a fee so large that all debts will be nullified, and I would be free.

Speaker 27 No comment.

Speaker 29 Let me run something by you, Penny.

Speaker 11 You ran.

Speaker 29 He found you.

Speaker 29 You're on the ship. Emotions run high.
Your freedom feels a light year away, so you hit warp speed. Am I right?

Speaker 29 You, once again, as you have so many times, you gambled. Did you not?

Speaker 27 No comment.

Speaker 29 Gamblers will always tell us it's, you know, all analytical cold numbers and probabilities.

Speaker 29 I happen to know, Penny, from personal experience, it's no.

Speaker 29 It's emotional. And emotions are ambitious and reckless and stupid.

Speaker 11 No comment.

Speaker 29 Right, we'll call it there for now. Time is 7:17 AM.

Speaker 21 Archie boy!

Speaker 7 Did you miss me? Because I missed you. I missed you, mate.

Speaker 18 Good boy, yes, indeed.

Speaker 11 I see that you haven't given Graham the same warm welcome.

Speaker 7 Yeah, well, Sherlock, Graham is a wild mouse that we found in our floorboards near a sewer. Archie is a bulldog that I bought for a grand.

Speaker 23 He was a thousand pounds.

Speaker 12 Yes. Him? Yes, him.

Speaker 23 This inflation nonsense is finally starting to make sense.

Speaker 7 Where are you off to?

Speaker 23 I didn't sleep on the plane.

Speaker 15 Fair.

Speaker 7 Well, have a a good one, mate.

Speaker 23 Hmm, yes.

Speaker 19 Well, let's go for a W8. Okay, buddy.

Speaker 11 Let me just

Speaker 7 get my uploads on the go.

Speaker 18 Here we go.

Speaker 6 Big old hard drive.

Speaker 12 In you go.

Speaker 15 Bump, bum, boom.

Speaker 15 Okay, we are...

Speaker 6 Oh, not yet.

Speaker 15 Override, no, thank you.

Speaker 7 Okay

Speaker 7 Upload is underway. What do we think, mate? Time for a walk.
Hopefully that big fluffy wanker isn't there and we can really

Speaker 23 hasty enough.

Speaker 23 I'm sorry.

Speaker 13 Very sorry and frustrated with myself. But fortunately, my overriding emotion is pride in you.

Speaker 13 It kept me awake the whole bloody flight home.

Speaker 13 So forgive me while I sleep.

Speaker 13 See you in the morning.

Speaker 6 Alright, come on, bud.

Speaker 8 Let's go. Nice and quiet.
Sherlock's sleeping. Yeah.

Speaker 8 Off we go, Arch.

Speaker 7 That was the disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax.

Speaker 8 You want an adventure that has everything? You got it.

Speaker 10 Well, actually, no death.

Speaker 12 So,

Speaker 7 yeah, sorry, death fans. We have massively let you down this adventure.
We tried our best, but you know, the guy I punched and the kidnapper are indeed still alive. So, better luck next time.

Speaker 10 Bye-bye.
