Speaker 3 Morning.
Speaker 6 Hey, great fire.
Speaker 9 You see my jacket, my dad's jacket?
Speaker 6 In my whiskey-fueled days, I put it somewhere.
Speaker 7 How are you feeling?
Speaker 6 Hangover from hell?
Speaker 3 John?
Speaker 9 Oh, hey, you got internet.
Speaker 3 I downloaded it at Jamie Mortimer's house.
Speaker 6 At Jamie Mortimer's house?
Speaker 6 What is that?
Speaker 3 Wait, what were you doing at Jamie's house? I was running away.
Speaker 3 From that.
Speaker 6 Can we rewind a sec?
Speaker 3 Yeah, sure. Not gonna make it any less real.
Speaker 6 Not the clip. The situation.
Speaker 9 What is going on? What did you do last night?
Speaker 3 Where's Mariona?
Speaker 9 No, no. She's not in her room.
Speaker 3 Jesus Christ.
Speaker 6 Who made this video?
Speaker 3
It hasn't been made, Henry. It is a visual account.
Someone hit record, then they hit upload, mate.
Speaker 9 An upload of
Speaker 6 of huge glowing eyes and fangs.
Speaker 3 Yeah, exactly like the account said, exactly like Jack Stapleton said.
Speaker 3 Henry, what are you doing at night? What? What are you doing?
Speaker 3 Are you up with the light on? It here?
Speaker 6 Am I awake here at night with the light on?
Speaker 3 Yeah.
Speaker 6 No, no, I'm not. Right.
Speaker 3 Sure, okay, fine. What?
Speaker 6 What is going on? You.
Speaker 6 Did you go out last night, like, in the middle of the night?
Speaker 3 Yeah.
Speaker 6 Why?
Speaker 3 Because I heard something.
Speaker 11 What did you hear?
Speaker 3 John?
Speaker 6 Are you pissed off with me?
Speaker 6 Are you leaving?
Speaker 3 Yes, with you.
Speaker 7 To where?
Speaker 3
To see her. Apparently, you make the plans.
I'm just the bodyguard. Come on.
Chop, chop.
Speaker 10 That's what they call it.
Speaker 9 They do?
Speaker 6 This place is actually called Pixiland?
Speaker 3 Mm-hmm.
Speaker 10 And are these for sale or just the things in the gift shop, I think.
Speaker 3 It says they're closing for the winter for
Speaker 3 the pixies to rejoin their folk on the moor and help the farmers to protect their cattle.
Speaker 6 So much for mischievous little creeps. Maybe I judged them too early.
Speaker 10 The farmers befriended them. The visitors don't try, so
Speaker 6 they play tricks.
Speaker 10 Lead them astray.
Speaker 7 Is our resident storyteller enchanting you, Mr. Baskerville?
Speaker 6 I fear she might be doing just that, Jack.
Speaker 7 She has a gift, my sister.
Speaker 1 Through this way.
Speaker 6 Speaking of gifts, I was just asking about her necklace, Jack.
Speaker 3 A beautiful thing, isn't it?
Speaker 6 Amazing. Very striking.
Speaker 6 You're a good brother.
Speaker 3 Am I?
Speaker 10 You got it for me. I mentioned that to Henry earlier.
Speaker 7 Of course I did, of course.
Speaker 6 From your jet-setting days.
Speaker 7 Yes, yes.
Speaker 7 I certainly picked up an exotic thing or two back then.
Speaker 6 I hope you're talking about jewelry, Jack, you dirty dog.
Speaker 7 Yes, very, very good.
Speaker 6 Did you guys grow up here? On Dartmoor?
Speaker 7
No. Yes.
No. Well, there was boarding school sort of wedged in there somewhere.
Right.
Speaker 6 Very British. Was yours international, Beryl?
Speaker 7
My school. Yes, yes, hers was.
Mine wasn't.
Speaker 7 She got sunshine and exotic languages all around her. I got drizzle and rugby practice.
Speaker 3 Right.
Speaker 6 Because you, you've got the complexion.
Speaker 10 I do, yeah.
Speaker 7 Our mother was darker. Darker-toned, I'd say.
Speaker 6 We got a couple big international schools in Toronto, and you get this kind of global accent that just stews there, you know?
Speaker 6 Like French and British and American and Middle East and China, all this all goes into one pot, one expensive pot.
Speaker 6 But yeah,
Speaker 6 your voice reminds me of that.
Speaker 7 Oh, right.
Speaker 6 No, I like it. It's worldly in a place that's so
Speaker 10 hidden away?
Speaker 7 Right, yeah.
Speaker 3 Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6 Long story short, I like your necklace.
Speaker 3 Thank you.
Speaker 3 Jerkers, I was going to ask,
Speaker 3 is it always like this with the butterflies?
Speaker 7 Well, first a warm summer and now a bit of floral flush with the gorse and heather, of course.
Speaker 7 But this kaleidoscope is multi-species. Some non-native.
Speaker 7 Dartmoor's uplands are ideal as a sort of migration stopover.
Speaker 3 A little service station.
Speaker 7 Ha, yes, exactly.
Speaker 3 On the insect motorway.
Speaker 10 This one is my favorite.
Speaker 6 Your favorite butterfly?
Speaker 6 You have a favorite butterfly. I mean, of course.
Speaker 10 The black swallowtail.
Speaker 3 Hmm. Yes.
Speaker 10 She's not native to here.
Speaker 10 She doesn't mean to be here either.
Speaker 10 Just an accident.
Speaker 10 Caught on the wind.
Speaker 10 Swept up in a current from the Mediterranean.
Speaker 6 What's it called again?
Speaker 10 The Black Swallowtail.
Speaker 7 Well, it's a Papillio Makan.
Speaker 7 Old World Swallowtail.
Speaker 6 The expert has spoken.
Speaker 3 I own one.
Speaker 7 Have done for a few years.
Speaker 3 You own one?
Speaker 12 It's dead.
Speaker 3 It's preserved.
Speaker 7 That is my profession, of course. To catch, house, and study these beautiful things.
Speaker 7 It would be a shame to let it back out into a wilderness it doesn't understand, into a landscape it cannot navigate.
Speaker 3 So I retain her
Speaker 7 until the end.
Speaker 6 Maybe all these beautiful colors and strangers of nature coming to these parts. Maybe they're the inspiration for the fixies.
Speaker 10 Maybe.
Speaker 6 You don't seem so convinced.
Speaker 10 I think it is you, Henry, that requires convincing.
Speaker 6 You're right about that.
Speaker 7 I fear we may be losing our Henry to this Enchantress, John.
Speaker 7 Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7 Perhaps we head down the Rugglestone, you and I. Let these two talk of their elves and fairies.
Speaker 6 John could do with a drink, right, bud?
Speaker 3 Uh, I'm supposed to stay with Henry, so John. Sherlock told me not to let him out of my sight.
Speaker 3 Well,
Speaker 7 fair enough.
Speaker 4 We could all go, couldn't we?
Speaker 3 Well, we'll probably meet you there. We've just got to check something out investigation-wise, right, Henry?
Speaker 3 Right.

Speaker 4
The all-electric B-Z. One drive can change your mind.
Toyota, let's go places.
Speaker 6 I'm saying you got in the way of me and her. I'm not saying you're in the way of the investigation.
Speaker 3 John, what, Henry?
Speaker 6 Can you see why I'm annoyed?
Speaker 3 Henry, in my list of priorities, you shagging Beryl Stapleton is down there with finding your shoe, your hat, and your bloody jacket. I don't care.
Speaker 6 Yeah, see, that's a problem. That makes me not care.
Speaker 8 Not care about what?
Speaker 6 About this stupid dog.
Speaker 6 What are we even doing here?
Speaker 3 We've come to ask some questions.
Speaker 4 About what?
Speaker 3 About the stupid dog.
Speaker 3 You're John, then? And you are Niall. Well,
Speaker 3 come in.
Speaker 7 We've lived here for a couple of years, haven't we, we, Anne?
Speaker 3 Nearly three.
Speaker 7 Yes, yes, nearly three.
Speaker 3
My mind. And just to clarify, you were hiking in the middle of the night on the 19th, is that right? Not hiking, no.
In the video,
Speaker 3 you sort of seem to be traversing near Baskerville Hall? No, so
Speaker 3 we were...
Speaker 7 We are part of the
Speaker 11 committee. Sorry, sorry, and
Speaker 3 what's the committee? Ten tours. Mm-hmm.
Speaker 3 I'm just going to need this explaining, if that's.
Speaker 6 What were you doing out near my property the night my uncle died? That's what he's asking.
Speaker 3 Thank you, Henry.
Speaker 7 Sorry, who who is your your uncle?
Speaker 6
Are you serious? You've lived here nearly three years. I'm Henry Baskerville.
My uncle was Sir Charles Baskerville.
Speaker 7 At Baskerville Hall, right, yes.
Speaker 7 Of course.
Speaker 6 Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 7 Hm.
Speaker 3 Sorry, you two, the uh
Speaker 3 famous good manners of the Canadians, having a day off, it seems.
Speaker 7 Ten tours is a major event.
Speaker 7 It's a two-day annual expedition organised by ourselves at the Committee of the Dartmouth Trust and the British Army.
Speaker 7 Thousands, thousands, yes, thousands of teenagers take part in the hike from Tor to Tor, but it can be rather
Speaker 7 rather treacherous.
Speaker 7 We've had fatalities over the years, I'm afraid to say. Rivers, rock falls, mires.
Speaker 3 Yes, I'm familiar with Grimp and Meyer. Oh, yes, exactly, exactly.
Speaker 7 That's a place in question where we have to know that in low light or no light, due to this being a two-day event, that we have to know that it's safe for
Speaker 7 the students.
Speaker 6
Okay, myth Numero Uno cracked. It wasn't the Pixies, it was you guys.
And who made the video of the CGI Hound? Henry.
Speaker 3 Sorry, what?
Speaker 6 Grimp and Meyer. It has those lights that glow in the fog, right?
Speaker 3 It does, yes.
Speaker 9 You put those down?
Speaker 3
Well, thanks for that. You probably saved us.
Um.
Speaker 7 Um, not our work,
Speaker 7 actually.
Speaker 3 Oh, okay.
Speaker 3 On me? I
Speaker 7 I don't know. Oh, sure.
Speaker 3 Sure.
Speaker 7 Anyway, I, um
Speaker 7 I appreciate our work can seem rather boring, but but but it is simply safety recies and appraisals before the committee meetings.
Speaker 7 You know, if if we do the work in the depths of winter, we don't get an accurate reflection of of ground quality around the time of the expedition in spring, so
Speaker 7 we do it now.
Speaker 3 Right, I see.
Speaker 3 So, did this make it into your appraisal? God almighty.
Speaker 3 It did not.
Speaker 3 White? A giant black hound with glowing eyes and teeth seems a safety hazard to me. They
Speaker 3
omitted it. Who's they? The committee.
Why? Because they didn't believe us.
Speaker 6 So you released it online? That's right, yes. Did you monetize it?
Speaker 7 Monet monetize.
Speaker 6 Do you make money off these kinds of videos, Niall?
Speaker 3 No, Henry.
Speaker 7 What?
Speaker 3 What did you see that night, guys?
Speaker 7 We...
Speaker 7 We were in the hills above Baskerville Hall Estate.
Speaker 7 Firstly, for the tin mines, they still have openings, access points all over there. We have to assess them for safety.
Speaker 6 And arsenic, right? There's arsenic in those things?
Speaker 7 Well, yes, but you'll note it's orpiment now. That yellow residue on the walls and floor means that the arsenic has been
Speaker 7 extracted.
Speaker 3 Right.
Speaker 6 Okay.
Speaker 7 We were also plotting the routes through the mire for our maps, and
Speaker 7 we saw a
Speaker 7 torchlight, didn't we?
Speaker 7 In the distance.
Speaker 3 Where?
Speaker 7 By Baskerville Hall.
Speaker 3 Where exactly by Baskerville Hall? Oh, um.
Speaker 7 What do you think, Anne?
Speaker 3
Uh, it was approaching the front gate, I think. Yes, yes.
From what direction? From the house? From the drive? Uh, no, no, no, no. It was coming from the east, off the Tavistock Bridleway.
Speaker 6 Could you make out who...
Speaker 6 who was holding the torch, the flashlight, the... the torchlight?
Speaker 7
Well, we thought it was one of ours, so we tried to signal. No response.
And we headed over, as we could take that route back to the car park and, you know, head home.
Speaker 7 We began our walk over, and it wasn't long until the
Speaker 7 torchlight vanished.
Speaker 3 I take it it didn't reach the driveway of the house.
Speaker 7 No, it it was switched off before, but I know that house, they would have had to loop round to the front gate or climb the driveway wall.
Speaker 3 Yes,
Speaker 3 yes, they would.
Speaker 3 So, the stranger with the light disappears. Mm-hmm.
Speaker 3 And we decide to walk down towards the house, anyway, just to meet the road.
Speaker 3 And then,
Speaker 3 um,
Speaker 3 then we saw it,
Speaker 3 didn't we? Yes,
Speaker 3 yes, we did.
Speaker 3 Have you seen much since? You guys are out there a lot, right?
Speaker 7 A
Speaker 7 man.
Speaker 3 Yeah.
Speaker 3 Us too.
Speaker 7 He's been in some of the old agricultural buildings.
Speaker 7 And it's not safe that they're falling to bits, but
Speaker 7 a few people have seen him moving in and out of those, apparently.
Speaker 3 I saw him on Hound Tour. On the tour itself? Yes.
Speaker 3 Just
Speaker 3 stood there. What did he look like? It was just his silhouette against the sunset, really.
Speaker 3 Um, tall,
Speaker 3 long coat,
Speaker 3 just fixed in position,
Speaker 3 observing something.
Speaker 3 Yeah, sounds like the one I've been seeing.
Speaker 3 I suspect my man on the moor
Speaker 3 is your man on the tour. Hmm.
Speaker 3 Hmm maybe.
Speaker 6 So what do you think this thing is?
Speaker 7 A wolf?
Speaker 6 You say a hound, but what are we talking exactly?
Speaker 3 Big?
Speaker 3 A big one?
Speaker 6 So
Speaker 6 Great Dane, Newfoundland?
Speaker 7 Great Dane.
Speaker 7 I know the video doesn't do it justice, sir, but maybe.
Speaker 7 Maybe my forearm does.
Speaker 3 What is... Is there a bite? No.
Speaker 6 Shivers.
Speaker 3 Me too.
Speaker 3 Look.
Speaker 7 A Great Dane.
Speaker 7 A Newfoundland. A damn dire wolf would not elicit this reaction.
Speaker 3 No.
Speaker 7 It would not keep my wife and I awake at night, nor would it drive us near mad.
Speaker 7 Do you understand?
Speaker 3 Thank you both for your time.
Speaker 3
A light. A light.
In the darkness. The lights on the moors.
Speaker 3 First, that beacon that shone out from Bascoville Hall every night. Yes.
Speaker 3 Speaking, communicating, but then
Speaker 3 our visitor to the grounds on the night of Sir Charles's death.
Speaker 3 One single point of light,
Speaker 3 then gone.
Speaker 3 But we do at least have it, Watson. That single point of light.
Speaker 3 And like the glints and glows in the fog of Grimp and Meyer, it can guide us towards truth.
Speaker 3 Hello, listeners. I'm
Speaker 9 still
Speaker 3 here, physically, if not mentally, it would seem.
Speaker 3 Feeling a bit more invigorated.
Speaker 3 I mean, in terms of the case, after speaking with Niall and Anne,
Speaker 3 just had a constant voice in the back of my head. Just
Speaker 3 permanent. What are you doing here? What have you
Speaker 3 actually done? What are you even trying to do? And it's...
Speaker 3 Yeah.
Speaker 3 I have a person.
Speaker 3 A light-wielding individual out at night near the property when Sir Charles dropped dead.
Speaker 3 I also have a hound, unfortunately.
Speaker 3 That does, however, mean I get to call out Carol Watson on her promise to me 30 odd years ago that there's no such thing as monsters. So yep, wrong, Carol.
Speaker 3 Wrong about Liz Truss, wrong about this. Yeah.
Speaker 3 But anyway, yeah,
Speaker 3 But, but, but, but, but, my friends, who is the late night wanderer? And what connection do they have to Sir Charles's death? That still needs, uh,
Speaker 3 yeah, still needs figuring out.
Speaker 3 Um,
Speaker 3 I came back to the house,
Speaker 3 trying to work out where that night light is coming from, and um,
Speaker 3 and the light
Speaker 3 is from where the Barrymores stay.
Speaker 3 Top floor, east wing, right where Jamie told me Sir Charles confined himself to.
Speaker 3 Looks like the Barrymores are moving up in the world after the old man's death. Upgraded to the master suite, it would seem.
Speaker 3 So yeah, just back at Sir Charles's
Speaker 3 storage chest, where Henry got his jacket. I remember Jamie said to me when we first met that Sir Charles, before he died, was going to go to London to meet with a
Speaker 3 solicitor, right? It uh
Speaker 3 wait
Speaker 3 wait
Speaker 3 um so I'm pausing just because this paper is not like the others, everything else is
Speaker 3 legal and deeds and accounts. This is a
Speaker 3 letter.
Speaker 3 If you're reading this, then I have just left. We have reconciliated and I have a part of me back again.
Speaker 3
Know that I don't want anything from you but you. It's time to stop apologising to each other and make the most of what we have left and forget what we lost.
LLXX.
Speaker 3 LLXX.
Speaker 3 LLX. It can't be a...
Speaker 3 Yeah, can it? Roman numerals for...
Speaker 3 No, it can't be LS50. Um.
Speaker 3 nope, can't look it up.
Speaker 3 Sake. Um
Speaker 3 Mariana?
Speaker 3 Mariana
Speaker 7 You're not asleep already, are you?
Speaker 3 It's only eight, Mari
Speaker 7 Are you
Speaker 3 Are you kidding me? Mariana
Speaker 3 What?
Speaker 3 What is going on? What is actually going on?
Speaker 3 Well, once again, my apparent colleague and companion, who is supposedly ill, is gone.

Speaker 11 And I saw it.

Speaker 6 Am I supposed to, you know?
