The Sign of Four - Part Four

Chronic migraine, 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more, can make me feel like a spectator in my own life.

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

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

It's the number one prescribed branded chronic migraine preventive treatment.

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, side 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?

Previously on Sherlock Co.

There we go!

What?

What is it?

What's inside?

A note.

What does it say?

The sign of four.

This ugly bastard is Toby.

Hey, oh, he'd like to hear.

Actually, he seems to be into this note.

You're lucky I still have it, to be honest.

Your amazing creature nearly swallowed it.

Came over frantically sniffing it in Regent's Park.

Get us a lab and meet me at St.

Bart's.

No service dogs are trained trained to sniff codeine unless case dependent.

He was sniffing for something else.

Anthrax.

Jesus, what?

Sorry,

I mean, I didn't technically kiss you.

I was just positioning

a litter from him.

Sholto is back.

He's corresponding again.

So we have more diamonds?

No.

What do we have then?

He sent her an airline ticket.

The Sri Guru Ram Dasji International Airport in Amritsar.

I think it's important that you both know where I'm going.

What?

She can't go by herself.

No, I'm going with you.

Mary, I'm going to protect Mary.

Yeah, and I'm going to protect you.

Then, I'm going to protect Marianne.

I don't need to.

You said my me.

No, I didn't.

Yes, you did.

You did, did not.

You did!

Thanks, mate.

Cheers.

The gang are at Heathrow Airport.

Yes.

Oh, no.

So, what is that?

When did you put that on?

Ah, this snifty little fella.

Yeah.

Yeah, that, my friend, is a bum bag.

A fanny pack to our American listeners.

Warning, this episode contains bum and fanny.

This is the worst thing you've done.

Is this why she wasn't in the cab with us?

She saw your bum bag?

Oh, she's been given the five-star treatment by Sholto, chauffeur and first class.

Anyway, let me have a wee rummage in here.

Let's do the checklist.

Okay, fine.

Right, passports.

Check.

Wheelie big case.

Check.

It's funny because we're doing a really big case and it's on wheels.

Stop.

One little case each.

Uh, check.

Check.

Say it please.

Check.

Now, you.

Ear defenders.

Check.

Sunglasses after the security gates, please.

Check.

Sunflower lanyard.

Check.

And last but not least, a big smile and a can-do attitude.

Nope.

What a bite.

Shellock.

Oh, so now you're gonna talk to me.

What?

You're done speaking to your girlfriend in first class.

Goodness sake.

What was it like in there?

Oh, unbelievable.

I saw they had proper plates, champagne glasses and stuff.

You know, the cabin crew was smiling, actually smiling.

Ooh, nice.

Uh, you can take the bumbag off now?

Yeah, I know.

So,

what are you gonna get?

For takeoff when they come around.

What are you getting?

Don't know.

Water?

Cariana.

What?

Water.

What?

Planes can make you dehydrated.

Yeah, but

it's special, isn't it?

Going on a big trip.

Why?

What are you getting?

I don't know.

Beer?

Beer.

It's so special you get a drink you have three or four times a week.

Oh, maybe I'll get a Bloody Mary.

Why?

Because

tomato juice.

Am I missing something?

When you fly, you have tomato juice, don't you?

No, you don't.

Will you two please be quiet?

If you're wearing ear defenders over headphones, how can you possibly hear us?

I just can.

Okay, okay.

Sorry, Sherlock.

Watson, when the trolley comes round, could you get me a water?

Oh, God's sake.

What are you watching, mate?

Plane.

Plane.

Yes, plane?

Who's in it?

We are.

What?

Uh, you're watching the map?

Yes.

Well,

thrilling.

I hope not.

What are you watching?

Sliding doors.

What is that?

It's uh, it's a movie where, um, uh, Gwyneth Paltrow misses her tube, and in that one small act of missing her tube, that tiny, seemingly insignificant act, other opportunities pop up that never would have popped up before, and she has a whole new life parallel to her old one.

Hey,

I thought I'd try to sneak these back here, and it looks like I got away with it quick.

Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey, champagne.

Here you go, Sherlock.

Um, okay,

fine.

Oh, I got one for Marihana as well.

She's she is passed out.

Yeah, I wouldn't.

Um, I guess I'll have to drink two.

Oh, dear, what a shame.

Oh, look how that worked out.

House first class.

Oh, it's okay.

Yeah, sure.

Yeah, I know.

It is amazing.

Everyone is so nice.

And the f- Yeah, all right.

Right.

I better go sleep.

Big day coming up.

Massive.

Huge.

Huge.

Huge day.

Okay, bye.

Bye.

Night night.

You can wipe that smile off your stupid face.

Hey, I meant what I said.

I don't have a stupid face.

Okay, I didn't mean that.

You have a lovely face.

Very warm.

Thank you.

One of my stronger features, I think.

That and my hands.

I've always thought I have nice hands.

It's hard to tell right now, as you're gripping two glasses of champagne and, of course, that dagger that you keep plunging into my back.

Right.

Whoa, what is going on here?

She is a client.

Right.

And you're flirting and snogging her.

I didn't snog her.

All right, fine.

But you're flirting.

I don't know about that, mate.

There's cordial convo, yeah?

Huge, huge day.

Night, night.

Yes, yes, yes, all right, all right.

I get your point.

It is noted.

I will deal with it.

Yes, please do.

I didn't ask for it, did I?

Yeah, I said, I said a number of times, flat out, I don't want to contact her.

Well, that's just as bad.

How is it?

God, I'm tempted to call your face stupid again, I really am.

How is it as bad?

So you deny the case.

You'd either sleep with the client or not investigate the case at all.

Come on.

May I remind you, Dr.

John Amish Watson, there is a 14-year-old boy missing.

You don't need to remind me.

Well, maybe I need to remind you of who really cares about you, and it's not sexy babe army nurse.

Army nurses from New Zealand.

It's a bunch of listeners you've never met.

It's an autistic detective and a Spanish accountant who is a terribly ugly sleeper for some reason.

Yeah,

really is awful, isn't it?

That is what you need reminding of.

That and the fact our company is the very finest in its field.

It will not be compromised by romantic attractions or personal entanglements with clients.

Victor Trevor.

I knew you were gonna throw that in my face.

Your stupid face.

I solved it, didn't I?

Yeah, and we'll solve this.

Fine.

Fine.

Fine.

Fine.

Do you want a top up of champagne?

Yes, please.

Was I snoring?

Uh, snoring, farting, and uh, generally being discussed.

I was not farting.

Yeah, you were.

They dropped the oxygen masks.

It was so bad.

Oh, John.

John.

Oh, sorry.

Idiot.

Oh, wow, busy busy.

Tell you what, bloody fancy air for what, isn't it?

Look at that building.

Eerie?

Slate, sleek.

That's the word.

Sleek as you like.

Okay, so we can get a cab, or if you want, you can get

those things there.

Yes.

I vote for the tuk-tuk.

You you want to get a tuk-tuk?

Yes.

It's a 30-minute journey to the hotel.

Yes, and I plan to make it enjoyable.

What about the bags?

Tuk-tuks are for nipping about town, not for bulky airport airport transfers.

They'll fit.

Wanna bet?

Absolutely.

Yeah, no, I'm not putting my brain against yours for that kind of thing.

Let's take the tuk-tuk.

Okie-dokie.

Oh, now he wants to.

Sorry, what was that?

Sherlock was just making an observation.

Yep, sure.

Hello, mate.

Three of, four of us, sorry, and this luggage to the

White Eagle Hotel.

White Eagle?

Yes, yes.

30 minutes away.

Great, cool.

Yep.

Right, let's have a little drive on this fella and take in the sights.

All aboard.

Fucking hell, we didn't take over on that corner.

I swallowed my vomit.

Oh, don't be sick on me.

I said I swallowed it, didn't I?

Are you guys okay?

Yeah, no, no, we're just saying this is this is sick.

This is absolutely shitting hell.

We need to hear that bloke.

Look, Watson, it's the summer palace of Maharaja Ranjit Singh.

Oh, great, the summer palace of Maharaja Ranjit Singh.

Stop grabbing my leg!

If I don't, I will fall out of this thing and oh, I'll never be seen again, is that what you want?

If you keep grabbing my leg, yes!

Known as the Rambag Bahal, of course.

This was the very center, and still is, of Sikhism here in India.

Cool, yep.

Ranjit Singh was the founder and first Maharaja of the Sikh Empire.

And believe it or not, he is contributing to this very case.

How is he now?

How's there?

Because, like you, the man that lived in that palace has also been to war in Afghanistan.

Only he defeated the Shuya Shah Durrani.

And what did he get in return?

Afghanistan?

No.

Most of the fighting was for the Punjab region.

He got what would be later named the Surakula, the father stone to all those diamonds that have swept us across the world right here to Amriksar.

Amazing!

So full.

Yeah, really cool.

Oh, good God.

I'm gonna lay down.

Yeah, me too.

But I thought it best we get right to work.

Yeah, no, sleepy first.

Lucky later.

Bye, guys.

I'm gonna get some shutter and then I'll message for dinner.

Yeah, sure.

Great idea, Mary.

I'll set up a WhatsApp group.

Perfect.

I hate you and your stupid girlfriend.

No, you don't.

Sherlock, can we put on the air con?

I think the heat is making Mariana irritable.

I'm Basque, genius.

Watson, door.

I'm lying on the bed.

You're stood up.

Mariana, the door.

You're stood up next to the door, Sherlock.

Yes, but it's most likely Mary.

And I don't have the energy for polite conversation.

I don't think anyone's expecting polite conversation from you, mate.

Just open the door.

That's not her.

It's not.

No.

The feet here eclipsing the light under the doorframe.

At least size 12 or 13.

12 or 13?

Jesus.

The knock?

There's a ring on one of those knuckles.

A singular ring.

Perhaps a wedding band.

It's Mary.

Maybe John married her her when we weren't looking.

I can hear him.

There's shuffling of discomfort.

There's agitation in this man.

A heavy breath.

Uh.

a loaded gun.

What?

Nobody moves.

We're not moving.

Okay.

Put your hands on your head.

Face down.

Just.

I said face down.

And you.

Okay, okay, okay, face down.

We're face down.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

There's money in the bum bag.

The fanny pack.

whatever you wanna call it.

Shut up.

We're just tourists.

Shut up.

All right, all right.

Bundle and safe with Expedia.

You were made to follow your favorite band and from the front row, we were made to quietly save you more.

Where is he?

What What do you mean?

Sholto, where is he?

I don't know.

We think he's here in Alberhaw.

What?

We think he's here in Abrixa.

Speak English.

You've got a gun in my mouth.

He says he thinks Sholto is here in Abrixa.

Why?

That's where he resides.

How long have you been working for him?

We don't work for him.

I swear to God, I'll paint these walls red.

Is that how they do things at Interpol now, is it?

Shut up, face down.

No.

What did you just say to me?

I said no.

Who the hell are you, and what exactly do you think you're doing, eh?

I'm Sherlock Holmes.

And what do you do, Sherlock Holmes?

Consulting detective.

Oh no.

And how does that work then?

Not good enough for the force.

How does it work?

I...

well, I just observe things.

Those two do the rest.

Observe things?

Yes, that's right.

Oh yeah?

Like what?

Like the barrel of this plastic gun that's badly imitating a Glock 17 9mm pistol, and all manner of other things, such as your Interpol uniform.

Applied with the knowledge that Interpol agents don't carry guns, and the safety certification mark on your toy here.

Oh,

and who you are, of course.

Agent Athelney Jones.

How'd you do that?

Name tag there.

It says Agent Jones.

Jones.

It's a pretty common surname, pal.

Explain yourself.

Or what?

You'll throw a toy at me.

What is going on?

We worked on a case recently with D.I.

Tom Gregson.

He's an old friend.

Collea

acquaintance of mine.

You know Tom?

I do.

And so do they.

He mentioned your name and referred to you as an Interpol agent.

We run a detective agency and we are investigating the disappearance of Tonga Bajois, Bajois, the 14-year-old from Hounslow, West London.

Right.

Okay.

Is he Indian?

Not by his place of birth, but his parents are, yes.

What do you know about Sholto?

Obviously, not as much as you boys.

And girl?

And girl.

Excuse me.

Apologies.

No problem.

Why the urgency to track Sholto?

Got one of those.

one of those things potentially on the horizon.

What things?

An international political crisis type thing.

Oh,

one of those things.

Yeah, um.

Let's chat someplace else.

Too quiet.

Thin walls.

If the wrong people listen, we'll get to see the inside of a real gun barrel.

Okay, where do you want to go?

Only one place to go in an Amritsar:

the marketplace.

You said marketplace, I was expecting.

What?

A chaotic bazaar full of Indians trying to sell their wares?

Shady merchants and old mystics appearing behind carpets and linens.

Kind of, yeah?

Yeah, no.

Marketplace is just a restaurant.

I think it's a chain.

Chicken burger's good.

Cool, yeah.

Great.

It's with Perinese sauce you can get it with barbecue.

Perinese is peri-peri-ma.

Yeah, no, I know what perinase is.

So, Agent Jones, I just want to get this clear in my head because.

well, because it's creepy.

Sholto.

Yeah.

He's...

he's what?

In love with Mary?

Mary Morstan?

Which apparently isn't that uncommon, eh, John?

Ow!

You kicked me.

Oh, sorry.

Meant to kick her.

Ah, Bollocks.

Wait.

Ow, John.

Hold on.

There's a Mary Morstan.

Yeah.

Related to Arthur Morstan.

Uh-huh.

It's his daughter.

No way.

Yeah.

And Sholto is sending her.

Sending her little diamonds from here to London.

Oh, my God.

Well,

listen.

I didn't tell you this, okay?

Tell us what?

What I'm about to tell you.

Tell me, told us if people ask.

Listen,

it's a well-held rumor in certain parts anyway, so

just say you heard it on the streets.

Have you ever heard of the Surakula before a week ago?

Nope.

Exactly.

Because until the turn of this century, everyone thought it was a load of bollocks.

Just some myth.

People would see the Kohenor or whatever and decide to build a legend about a bigger gem with an even more exciting story to it.

That's what it seemed, right?

Then, in the early 2000s, this

gang appears on the scene.

In the industry, first, if you know what I mean.

I don't know what you mean.

Diamonds.

They start breaking into diamond stores, vaults, collections.

Never taking anything, but getting in,

searching, and getting out.

Then it gets more brutal.

They start kidnapping dealers and collectors, beating them up for information.

They interrogate scholars and experts for everything they know.

Jonathan.

What's happening?

Jonathan Small.

He's a friend of ours, an expert in the field.

His leg was amputated after a

beating.

Exactly.

Anyway, it spills out from the industry to smaller communities, oldie world type places, where the stories were the most coherent and consistent.

Everything pointed

to Pondicherry.

Pondicherry.

Yeah, called Pendicheri these days, but, you know, people use both.

There's a temple there, built specifically to house and defend Asurakula.

The reason my ears pricked up when you said that girl's name is because that temple is on land

once owned by her father.

Captain Morstan.

Exactly.

And our friend Sholto has been traced back to Pondicherry time and time again.

But what worries me

is what he's doing back in Amritsar.

Why does that worry you?

I think he may be about to give us an encore to a show he began ten years ago.

What do you mean?

Captain Morstan moved around a lot.

In Jan 04, he leaves New Zealand.

He pops into the UK for a few months.

Then, he lands in Amritsar in the August.

Then what?

He goes to this exact restaurant and sits in this exact seat.

Yeah.

Look.

This is a security photo, yeah?

You see him?

Sat at the table.

Uh-huh.

That's the last photo ever taken of Captain Arthur Morstan alive.

Seriously?

Seriously.

Who's that he's at the table with?

I have nothing to go on,

but the table booking that this man gave to the staff.

Sholto.

Well, this is shit, isn't it?

Yeah.

Yeah, it's pretty bad.

I'm gonna go on a date with my father's murderer.

Alleged.

Sorry?

Alleged murderer.

Agent Jones merely pointed out that was the last interaction your father had.

Great.

Thanks.

No problem at all.

He also said your father.

He's a bit of a folk legend in a place called Pondicherry.

Wait, what?

In Pondicherry.

That's a real place?

Uh,

yeah.

Uh-huh.

Oh.

What?

He.

he used to.

His bedtime stories he would tell.

I was always the Princess of Pondicherry.

At least I think that's what he said.

What else did he say?

I was, um,

it was Mary, the Princess of Pondicherry.

Mary.

I just assumed it was a make-believe place because I used to ask him if we could do the Pondicherry stories, and there was a duel, I think.

There was a jewel in his bedtime stories.

Yeah,

yeah, that's kind of funny.

I've only just pieced that together now.

What happened in the story?

I

am.

Ah.

Okay, it might be show time.

Hello.

She'll be right down.

Ready?

Unfortunately, yeah.

We're at the table opposite.

Yeah, no, I know, I know.

There is nothing to worry about, Mary.

I swear, if he tries anything, I will stop him with a butter knife.

I don't even care.

No, it's...

I'm scared for what I'll do, not what he'll do.

I'm just...

Oh, God, I am so...

Pumped with like fear and rage and...

God, I don't know.

If he says the wrong thing about about my dad, I'm just.

Oh, I am.

Maybe move the knives off her table for now.

Mary, be aloof, step back from the moment.

Sholto is desperate to talk, to engage with you.

Let him do so.

Okay, okay.

Here we go.

Good luck.

Remember to keep your phone recording.

Okay, right, quick, get to our table.

Hey, I can see Athelney Jones.

Don't wave, Mary.

Oh, yeah, sorry, forgot.

Where is he?

The table in the corner.

Okay, cool.

So,

Sholto is pretty much surrounded if he tries anything.

What's he gonna try?

We'll have to wait and see, but I don't think much.

Why not?

He probably thinks she has the Suracula.

I doubt it.

Heirlooms, mate.

This whole thing is who gets to pass what down through their family.

Yes, well, then why is he sending her diamonds?

I.

I might actually be able to finally get a curry.

Yeah, I'm not hungry.

What are we doing drinks-wise, out of interest?

Because, you know, we're working a case, yes, but it is also our first night here.

Huh?

They do session ales.

Session ale.

Yeah, so that's low alcohol, but still, we get a drink.

Please stop talking.

Alright, fine.

Any interest in sharing a starter?

Shh, shh, they're talking.

They're talking.

Ah, there he is.

He's quite old, isn't he?

And small.

Oh, he's doing the handkiss thing.

Disgusting now.

Why do people do that?

He seems frantic.

Yeah.

Yeah, what do you think?

Guilty conscience?

Maybe looking to confess or spill some beans?

She's smiling, so I'm guessing he's not talking about any dad murdering or anything like that.

Yeah, seems quite civil so far, doesn't it?

Athony's got up.

Should we get up no

we wait

he's making a call okay great thanks agent interpol we haven't exactly gotten surrounded now have we

okay now she's starting to look upset must be talking about her dad still his posture is reserved somewhat submissive

i don't think this man is busy confessing to any sort of murder

Hey, look, she's showing him the picture of Tonga.

She's showing him.

Okay, he is taking the picture.

He's.

He's shaking his head.

Damn it.

He doesn't know him?

Wait.

What?

What is it?

The waiter.

Where?

Exactly.

Sherlock, sit down.

What are you doing?

The waiter.

He didn't greet them like the others.

He just poured the waters and left.

Maybe he's just a bad waiter.

Sherlock.

Hello again, Mr.

Sholto.

Oh, Mary.

How are you?

I'm okay.

You have come all this way.

I am honored.

How was the journey okay?

Can I get your chair?

Look at you.

Yep.

I am so so happy that you have come here.

You,

your eyes, your lips.

It is like looking at your wonderful father.

Did you know him well?

Very, very well.

The best of us.

Yes.

Cool.

Yeah, uh.

Shoto, this is quite important, but do you know this boy?

Who is this?

His name is Tonga Baju.

I don't know him.

He's missing in London.

That is very sad.

He has one of your diamonds.

What?

Some investigators found it in his home.

How?

I sent everything to you.

Do you have it?

Portus.

Ah, thank you.

Mary,

look at me.

Do you have it or not?

Have what?

Oh, no.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Mary,

listen to me.

Lead.

They

may come

for the temple.

They

Shorto!

Sholto, no!

Who are you?

You swallowed it.

Did you swallow the water?

What are you doing, Sholto?

Open your mouth.

Now.

No, no!

Sherlock, stop, stop!

You're gonna make him throw up!

Absolutely, I am!

Sherlock, that's enough!

Sholto!

Sholto!

You did this!

You have to try and vomit.

Someone call an ambulance!

It

came for me.

He will come for the girl.

Who, Sholto?

Who?

His ghostly white face.

They wanted

the temple.

Sholto,

who would have done this to you?

They will stop

at

nothing

Who's they?

Sholto

Sholto

listen to me

who

who are they

going to find that way to to...

Excuse me, out of the way!

There.

He's exiting the lobby.

Go!

Go!

Hey, freeze!

Out the bloody way of the door!

Where are you?

Where?

He's in a tuk-tuk!

Excuse me, sir!

Apologies!

Sorry, mate, it's an emergency!

Oh, God!

These are sensitive little things.

Ah, what are you doing?

Point it straight!

The wheel is wobbling.

I have to offset it.

Yeah, well, you're about to offset us into incoming traffic.

Ah!

Apologies.

That was my fault.

This is all your fault.

How?

Because I didn't want to call her.

And then I did.

And then I told her to come out here.

And now somebody is dead and you can't drive.

I knew you'd make this about her.

We're chasing an assassin, and you're talking about Mary.

Mary, Mary, Mary.

Stop looking at me, look at the road.

Whoops, you go deep.

There's his tuk-tuk on the overpass.

How do you know it's him?

Because he's speeding.

They're all speeding.

And he's white.

How do we know the killer was white?

Shorto told me.

He said it was a ghostly white face.

Hold tight.

Why?

Why?

I'm gonna take this tunnel.

Okay, yeah, let's drive through random tunnels.

Spin a little track with the overpass to avoid the inner city traffic.

Off we go.

Ah!

Oh, this is a one-way.

Yes, I know that, Watson.

Ah, yes, I see the problem.

Ah!

The key is to move predictably.

So the drivers...

Oh, good lord.

The drivers can read our movements and evade as

intuitively as possible.

Ah, that's the key, is it?

Ah!

Don't worry, nearly there.

I can see light at the end of the tunnel.

Yeah, that's probably the afterlife.

Make gates of heaven for me and hell for you.

But we colours a pear.

Okay, here we go.

Up this ramp to merge.

That's not a ramp.

Yes, but it's ramp-shaped.

Hold on tight.

Lovely.

That worked much better than I expected.

Faster, Sherlock.

We've got to.

Now go, go, go.

Oh.

Now who wants to go faster?

Hey, stop.

Stop or face the consequences.

What are the consequences?

I'm not sure.

he's coming off.

Quick, move over.

I am trying to.

Put your indicator on.

I can't find a button for that.

Just try one.

No,

not that button.

Sod it.

Hey, oi, oi, we're moving over.

Slow down.

You out of the way.

Yes, I'm pointing at you.

Excellent work, Watson.

Move over right now.

Oh, oh he's waving oh he's got a Sherlock and co-sticker

Sherlock whoa whoa look Sherlock's go down mate

I'm delighted to say Anita and I are here in the Katra Jaimal Singh Bazaar here in Amritsar, and it's a spectacularly busy place, isn't it?

And it's wonderful to think that you've got such a serene place backing onto a market, you know, just a stone's throw away, fabrics, designs twinkling under the night sky.

You can see this amazing work in the market on the Daputas.

It's gorgeous.

And yet, here we are in somewhere so peaceful, so serene.

And this time of the evening, in particular.

Good grief.

What was that?

Hey, hey, wait, wait, that was Willie Dalrymple and Nita Arnand.

Shall we circle back?

Shall I go say hi?

No!

All right, fine.

Steady now.

We nearly got him.

Give it up, you murderer.

Shut for the people, Sherlock, for God's sake, sorry.

What's she screaming about?

I didn't even come close to hitting her.

Oops!

That's fair.

Nearly got her.

He's turning right.

Okie-dokie!

Oh, jeez, hey, did you see how deep those suits were?

I didn't.

How much?

4,000 rupees?

That's like, what, 30, 5, 40 quid?

Ooh, really?

That's good to.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

sorry, sorry, didn't see the steps

Where's he gone Sherlock, where's he gone?

I'm looking I'm bloody looking

Oh, holy moly, what is that?

The Golden Temple, the Harmandir Sahib.

House of God.

One of the holiest sites in Sikhism.

Destroyed several times but rebuilt with copper and marble.

And of course, that sanctum, overlaid with that dazzling gold leaf.

It's beautiful.

Yes.

And you see how it reflects on the enormous man-made pool that surrounds it.

Yeah.

Wait, the man-made what?

The man-made pool!
