Speaker 3 We don't know.
Speaker 4 This is the face is half crazy.
Speaker 3 This is Jackis.
Speaker 3 Oh, sorry.
Speaker 6 When you've been perverting the course of justice and assisting an offender.
Speaker 5
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tell him to come to the house, Rosemary, now.
Okay, okay.
Speaker 3 I haven't done a damn thing.
Speaker 6 What, like, go to the police?
Speaker 5 I was protecting my wife, not that freak.
Speaker 3
Demon among us, that's what the judge says. They don't understand.
You don't understand.
Speaker 6 But what the hell is going on?
Speaker 5
My thoughts exactly. Mariana.
Where is my gun? Where is your cold? Where is Archie?
Speaker 6 Don't even try.
Speaker 5
Wait, yeah, no, where is Archie? Wiggins. Oh, God's sake.
I'll take that. Thank you.
Speaker 5 The fugitive arrives.
Speaker 5
Our blood and temper run high, but we must show reason. Show constraint.
Give me the gun, Sherlock. I can't do that, Mariana.
Sherlock, don't give it to her. Shut up.
Speaker 5
I'm taking this. Boy, off the rifle.
Shut up.
Speaker 5 Not in the mood.
Speaker 5 Restraint.
Speaker 5 Restraint.
Speaker 5 Shall we, Watson? We shall. Holmes.
Speaker 5 The two Spanish nationals, young women, Valeria and Carla, the wicked,
Speaker 5 reckless,
Speaker 5 cruel individuals, families of the victims of demon
Speaker 5 among us,
Speaker 6 and heartbroken victory killer, Stephen Selden.
Speaker 5 I can keep the gun fixed on the kitchen door, right? Yes.
Speaker 5 If he doesn't come out by the time we're at the bottom of the stairs, then I will enter, engage him, and you close off the way out.
Speaker 5 Understood.
Speaker 5 Okay.
Speaker 5 He still hasn't come out of the kitchen. He must still be hungry.
Speaker 5 Yeah, well.
Speaker 5 Prison will be serving breakfast shortly.
Speaker 5 I'm going in.
Speaker 5
Don't move! Don't fucking move! Don't move! Shoot you, sir. Do not move.
Put your hands on your head.
Speaker 5 I said, put your hands on your head right now.
Speaker 5 And step into the light.
Speaker 1 Do it.
Speaker 5 Now!
Speaker 5 I don't know what exactly has happened
Speaker 7 since I left, but if
Speaker 7 you want me to lie with my hands behind my back or...
Speaker 5 Henry, you're
Speaker 7 dead. You're gonna kill me for...
Speaker 5 For what? Please, I'm sorry.
Speaker 7 I can explain.
Speaker 7 I thought that you'd think.
Speaker 6 What is going on?
Speaker 7
Mariana, please, please. Could you just talk some sense to them? I don't know what's happening.
I was at the pub, and yeah, I drank a lot. I was just going to get some whiskey.
You're...
Speaker 5 alive.
Speaker 5 I'm... You're alive? Yes.
Speaker 7 Yeah, no, I think so. I'm kind of confused as to...
Speaker 5 Oh, you're alive.
Speaker 5
You're hugging me now? Oh, man. Oh, Henry, mate.
God.
Speaker 5
Oh. Watson, I would rather like a hug too when you're finished.
Get in here. Oh, everybody.
everyone in.
Speaker 5 Wad, you stick a beer.
Speaker 7 Yeah, sorry.
Speaker 7 I was kind of bored at the pub.
Speaker 5 You're freezing.
Speaker 7 Hence, the whiskey in front of the fire, but apparently, that's a shootable offense.
Speaker 5
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, too.
Speaker 7 I'm actually not sorry at all, but I appreciate it.
Speaker 5 You're right, Henry Love.
Speaker 7 Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 7 I guess so.
Speaker 5 I was so scared, lad.
Speaker 7 Ah, you were scared. I might need to dry off my pants in the hearth again, Frank.
Speaker 5 You're welcome to it, lad. You're housy.
Speaker 5 Yeah.
Speaker 5 Let me get you a jacket or something.
Speaker 7 I should put a reward out for that thing.
Speaker 5 Wait.
Speaker 7 What?
Speaker 6 John, what is it?
Speaker 7 Hello,
Speaker 7 John.
Speaker 5 Your jacket.
Speaker 7 You know where it is?
Speaker 5 I do.
Speaker 5 You fed him.
Speaker 5 I did
Speaker 5 with whatever I could find.
Speaker 5 You clothed him.
Speaker 5 I did
Speaker 5 with whatever I could find.
Speaker 5 I will get in contact with the local police. Is the landline in working order? Take Stapleton's car to Jamie's at the end of the road on the right.
Speaker 5 I'm sorry about your jacket, Mr. Baskerville.
Speaker 7 That's okay.
Speaker 5 I'm sorry for
Speaker 5 bringing this evil man in into the world.
Speaker 5 I want to go back.
Speaker 5 I want to go back to when he would play with his little trucks.
Speaker 5 When
Speaker 5 we bake in the kitchen.
Speaker 5 When we go out in
Speaker 5 our willy boots, looking for pixies.
Speaker 5 Oh, it's little willy boots.
Speaker 5 I want to go back, Frank. I know, love.
Speaker 5 I did it wrong.
Speaker 5 What happened to my little boy?
Speaker 5 How did he become such a monster?
Speaker 5 Come on, let's go upstairs.
Speaker 5 What did you do with him?
Speaker 3 What did you do with my little boy, you fuck?
Speaker 5 I hate you.
Speaker 3 I hate you.
Speaker 5 I want to go back.
Speaker 5 I- I wanna go back!
Speaker 5 Hey.
Speaker 5 Hey, I know you're probably asleep.
Speaker 5 I'm not.
Speaker 5 Oh.
Speaker 5 You okay?
Speaker 5 Uh, yeah.
Speaker 5 You?
Speaker 5 You sound better?
Speaker 6 That's.
Speaker 5 That's what I came in here to talk about. Sure, let's talk about it.
Speaker 5
I don't mean talk. I mean apologize.
Don't worry. I get it.
Speaker 6 You get it.
Speaker 5 Yeah.
Speaker 5 It all kind of
Speaker 5 snapped into place. Ah.
Speaker 6 At what point, exactly? These last few hours have been kind of chaotic.
Speaker 5 Yeah.
Speaker 5 Yeah, somewhere in there.
Speaker 5 I kind of...
Speaker 5 forgave you.
Speaker 5 Thanks.
Speaker 5 No problem.
Speaker 5 And well done.
Speaker 5
No, Mariana, I'm serious. Well done.
That's that's what we do. That's our business.
You nailed it.
Speaker 6 Kind of messy at the end there.
Speaker 5 Yeah.
Speaker 5
They always are. Yeah.
Guess so.
Speaker 5 You should really be sleeping. I'm
Speaker 5 listening out for something.
Speaker 5 For what?
Speaker 5 Just
Speaker 5 a noise.
Speaker 6 A noise?
Speaker 6 Yeah.
Speaker 6 A nice noise, I hope.
Speaker 6 What's that?
Speaker 5 What?
Speaker 5 On the table. It is a necklace.
Speaker 6 I see that.
Speaker 5 Beryl Stapleton's her neighbor.
Speaker 5 Oh,
Speaker 5 right.
Speaker 5 Yeah, I'll give it back to her tomorrow. And her brother's car
Speaker 5 kind of stole it.
Speaker 5 Yeah.
Speaker 6 They might appreciate that.
Speaker 6 Speaking of returning things, um,
Speaker 6 Rosemary gave me Henry's jacket. She hand-washed the lining.
Speaker 5 The rest is fine.
Speaker 5 Cool.
Speaker 6 I didn't want to go wake him, so.
Speaker 5 Yeah, thanks.
Speaker 5 Let's see how I look in this thing, shall we?
Speaker 5 John.
Speaker 5 Let me just uh
Speaker 5 yep, like a tosser. A big posh tosser.
Speaker 6 Hey, you said it, not me.
Speaker 5 Yeah, yeah, I'll give this to him in the morning.
Speaker 5 Cool. Cool.
Speaker 5 Hey.
Speaker 5 Oh.
Speaker 5 I'm sorry. Hey, don't be.
Speaker 5 Yeah, even when I do it up, still a tosser.
Speaker 5 That's the
Speaker 5 oh my god
Speaker 5 Henry
Speaker 5 what did you do?
Speaker 5 Morning morning
Speaker 5 feeling rough
Speaker 7 yeah
Speaker 7 hang over
Speaker 5 you don't look too bad for a dead guy
Speaker 7 Nice view.
Speaker 5 Hmm.
Speaker 7 Hey,
Speaker 7 listen, John.
Speaker 7 I'm really sorry.
Speaker 5 About what?
Speaker 5 About what?
Speaker 7 It...
Speaker 7 You've turned into like
Speaker 7
a really good friend. And if...
If I'd been in your situation,
Speaker 7 that would have broken my heart, man. And I'm sorry that you had to go there mentally,
Speaker 7 emotionally.
Speaker 5 Thank you. That's.
Speaker 5 I mean, you don't have to apologize because you didn't actually get mauled to death by a hound, but thank you.
Speaker 7 No worries.
Speaker 5 And also, if you did get mauled to death by a hound, that that's also, you know, I mean, no apology would be required.
Speaker 7 Right, sure.
Speaker 7 That was tough to watch.
Speaker 5 Huh?
Speaker 5 Oh, Rosemary.
Speaker 5 Yeah.
Speaker 7 I mean, fuck that Stephen Selden guy, but she's right. How
Speaker 5 do
Speaker 7 what happens, man?
Speaker 5 Hmm.
Speaker 7 Where do all these monsters come from?
Speaker 5 Yeah.
Speaker 7 We worry about what's out there prowling across the moors, but like
Speaker 7 shit, what's in there, you know?
Speaker 7 In you, in anyone, in me, my friends, my
Speaker 7 her son.
Speaker 5 Right.
Speaker 5 I uh
Speaker 5 I don't know if I get too caught up in all that.
Speaker 7 Well, you should.
Speaker 5 Why?
Speaker 7 It's your job.
Speaker 5 You know?
Speaker 5 Yeah, I suppose, but if evil was something you could see and feel that easily, then...
Speaker 7 Then you wouldn't be needed. Exactly.
Speaker 5 Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5
Henry, I want to talk to you about something. Good morning.
Morning.
Speaker 7 Ah, morning, mate.
Speaker 2 What are we discussing?
Speaker 5 The weather? Current affairs?
Speaker 7 The
Speaker 5 footy. Don't say footy.
Speaker 7 Yeah, no, John wanted to talk about something.
Speaker 5 Uh, oh.
Speaker 5 Oh, oh
Speaker 5 god um
Speaker 5 oh it's gone
Speaker 5 completely gone blame me um get some sleep my man yeah yeah
Speaker 7 we're talking about evil and uh how you detect it it is a poison mr baskerville yeah that i agree with not quite to us
Speaker 5 But to its host.
Speaker 5 We can live with the poison for many, many years.
Speaker 5 The body and soul in this instance are durable, malleable things.
Speaker 5 They can learn and grow and counteract its effect.
Speaker 5 But to truly flush it out once consumed,
Speaker 5
near impossible. But how would you consume it? Aren't you just born with it? No, Watson.
Like a mineral in the waters of a well's spring from where its host has drank, from its first days to its last.
Speaker 5 Excuse me.
Speaker 5 What is this? What? On the bottom of your shoe. Oh, don't.
Speaker 5
Another pet. I bet it's dog shit.
Hound shit. I bet a million quid.
Speaker 7 Not quite. What is it?
Speaker 5
Can you get up off the floor? I'll just give you my shoe. May I permit a taste? No, you may not.
May you do what now? One moment. Do not lick the bottom of my shoe.
Do not lick the bottom of my shoe.
Speaker 5 Hello.
Speaker 5 He's um
Speaker 5 conducting a scientific experiment.
Speaker 7 I'm kind of glad he didn't come on the trip.
Speaker 5
Where have you been? Sorry, what? On this trip. Where have you been? Dartmoor, in Devon, in England.
Where the hell have you been? This is Orpimint. Okay.
Speaker 7 What, that yellow stuff?
Speaker 5 Indeed.
Speaker 5 What's Orpimint? Arsenic trisulfide.
Speaker 7 Oh, the mines.
Speaker 5 Mines.
Speaker 7 Yeah, there's... If you look over that little fenced-off, like, orchard.
Speaker 5 I see that.
Speaker 7
So in the middle of that, you got one of those entrances to the mines, tin mines. They're everywhere around the estate.
Don't ask me who spent all the Baskerville tin money, but somebody sure did.
Speaker 5 Tin and arsenic. That's right.
Speaker 5 Show me.

Speaker 7
So these are, I think, apple trees. I wouldn't eat them.
They're still super hard and yellow. But I think I'm going to turn like like this whole half of the garden into a forest.
Speaker 7 So I might need to move these so that they get the right
Speaker 7 light or whatever.
Speaker 6 I think you maybe need to learn some gardening skills first.
Speaker 5 Yeah.
Speaker 7 Yeah, I got construction, I got to learn decorating, and now gardening, which, to be fair, I'm actually okay at it. I've got a nice yard at home.
Speaker 5 I'd say you're rather terrible at it. Oh.
Speaker 7 Wow, okay, thanks.
Speaker 5 I've never seen you, garden Sherlock, so you're one to talk. Whilst I'm aware it is autumn and the leaves should have this delightful yellow hue, we don't honestly believe the trunks should, too.
Speaker 5 Do we? What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 You have a headache?
Speaker 5 Thinking.
Speaker 5 Okay.
Speaker 5 But how?
Speaker 5 How would it glow?
Speaker 5 How would it glow?
Speaker 5
Hold on. No, I will not hold on.
No, I think you should hold on. I will not.
Sherlock, are you suggesting... I'm not suggesting a bloody thing.
I'm trying to think.
Speaker 5
Yeah, well, the volume on your thinking is a little high, mate, so even I kind of heard it. Are you two talking about it? He said.
Henry. Yeah, he said the hellhounds live in these mines.
Speaker 7 Hey, hey, leave me out of this.
Speaker 5
That's what you said. You told me a giant was buried in Berkshire.
Berkshire. Wiltshire.
Whatever.
Speaker 5 Sherlock, Sherlock. If the hound lives in the mine and that's what's making it yellow,
Speaker 5
if that's where it lives. Watson.
And of course we wouldn't have seen it on the camera. Of course, it didn't climb out the wall.
It moves through these tunnels. It wouldn't glow in the dark.
Speaker 5
It wouldn't. It couldn't.
Well, a lot of things that I thought wouldn't happen have happened, mate. And I'm still processing that Henry isn't a bloody zombie.
Speaker 7 Are you ever going to get over that?
Speaker 5
Not anytime soon. No.
It would need to be activated by.
Speaker 5 by
Speaker 5 it would be perhaps a
Speaker 5 goodness.
Speaker 5 Sherlock, just wait a second. Where are you going?
Speaker 5 We.
Speaker 5 We are going to give back what you stole.
Speaker 5 What?
Speaker 5
I didn't steal anything, mate. Okay, yeah, I did technically steal the car.
Yeah, but... Then you drenched the back seats in blood.
Speaker 6 Blood that we now have to sit on.
Speaker 5 I'll put a towel down.
Speaker 7 Yeah, thanks.
Speaker 5 And I I didn't drench them in blood. I rested the body of a deceased man in here.
Speaker 7 You know, I could have walked.
Speaker 5 I don't entirely know that you could have, Mr. Baskerville.
Speaker 7 What?
Speaker 7 Why not?
Speaker 5
Because Mr. Stephen Selden roamed the moors without so much of a nibble at his heels.
The second he wears your Baskerville-smelling coat, however,
Speaker 5 he gets killed.
Speaker 7 Correct.
Speaker 5 I'd venture that backseat and these locked doors are feeling rather more comfortable now, aren't they, Henry?
Speaker 7 You'd, um,
Speaker 7 you'd be right.
Speaker 5 Thought so.
Speaker 5 Hi. Hey.
Speaker 1 Just quickly.
Speaker 7 The note for the Rugglestone. No necklace today?
Speaker 5 What?
Speaker 7 That necklace. We talked about it at Pixie Landing.
Speaker 5
Yeah, here. Here you go, Beryl.
Oh, okay.
Speaker 1
Just listen to me a moment. Thank you, Dr.
Watson. Thank you so much.
Please do come in. All of us.
Speaker 5 By
Speaker 5 goodness me.
Speaker 5 Now that
Speaker 5
would be Sherlock Holmes. Good to finally meet you, Mr.
Stapleton.
Speaker 5 All of these are species within the genus Fangalis. Maculinia, we used to call them.
Speaker 5
Large blues. Very large, yeah.
A rather fascinating trick makes them that large, of course. Oh, yeah.
At their larval stage, as caterpillars. Oh, yeah, no, I remember that from my readings.
Speaker 5
The very hungry caterpillar. Yes, yes, quite.
Well, this is a very, very hungry caterpillar. It produces deliberately pheromones and sounds that convince worker ants that they are nestmates.
Speaker 5 The ants then carry them into the nest and tend to them as if they were their own brood.
Speaker 5 Wow.
Speaker 5 The caterpillar is either fed by the ants or eats the ants themselves. Exactly.
Speaker 5 And all the while they are beguiled by the sound, scent, feel, and bond of kinship.
Speaker 5 and dare I say
Speaker 5 love
Speaker 5 but it's all a fabrication it's all a trap
Speaker 5 deceive lure consume what about this one mr. Stapleton let me see one moment ah you're in my beetles section I don't mean the music group of course
Speaker 5
So um yes. Oh, have you seen these though? Black Spotted Longhorn.
These are local. These are not.
No, but what the Black Spotted Longhorn does is it lives in heavily wooded areas.
Speaker 5 You see why you'll be drawn to this one, can't you? In this dim corner of your study.
Speaker 5
We can put the light on, if you wish. We needn't, Mr.
Stapleton, as our friend here emits a rather pleasing glow, doesn't he? Yes, well, he is a Pyrophorus noctilucus.
Speaker 7 Pyrophorus
Speaker 5 Noctilucus, Firefly of the Night.
Speaker 5 Well, uh, headlight, click beetle, to be
Speaker 5 yes, well, um,
Speaker 5 yes, lovely little things, aren't they?
Speaker 5 Indeed.
Speaker 5 All the
Speaker 5 forefathers, four mothers there, yeah, more forefathers than four mothers, I'd say.
Speaker 5 Yes.
Speaker 5 Such is the way of the past.
Speaker 5 So sad.
Speaker 5
Millions of voices silenced under the bellows of proud men. Have your family resided here long, Mr.
Stapleton? Oh, the longest, Mr. Holmes, yes, the longest.
Speaker 5 Mary Pitt took a few goes to get right.
Speaker 5 A small house first, then a bigger one, and a bigger one, and now
Speaker 5 this big beast.
Speaker 5 No titles for such an estate.
Speaker 5 Certainly no peerages, I can assure you.
Speaker 5 Goodness now.
Speaker 5 I remember reading the estate roll on my way down here.
Speaker 5
Oh, yes? There was a keeper title. Oh, yes, old jobs.
Honory little positions and all this sort of thing. Master of the mill, attendant of the gardens, all this, yes.
Little anachronisms.
Speaker 5 It's important to hold on to these things. You don't sell the family silver and you don't relinquish old titles.
Speaker 5 Keeper of the game, I believe it was. Oh, there's plenty, yes, plenty.
Speaker 5
None of which I'm qualified for. Six legs for me, Mr.
Holmes. That's my area, not four.
Speaker 5 Six legs to a thorax is more my speed.
Speaker 6 And where did you get it?
Speaker 1 Jack got it for me.
Speaker 6 Oh, so nice.
Speaker 5 But yes, I just won't be able to get you all in the car, will I?
Speaker 5
Serves me right for not getting something bigger. Don't worry, mate.
It's no problem. We're going to stick to the roads.
Speaker 5
Good idea. Still light out, so you should be okay.
Thank you for the car and the tour. Pleasure.
Yeah, thank you, mate. No, no, thank you for doing everything you can around here.
Speaker 5 You said about a shout-out in...
Speaker 5 Oh, uh,
Speaker 5
December, probably. Maybe January.
Long list. Of course, of course, no, no.
We look forward to it, don't we, Beryl?
Speaker 1 Absolutely.
Speaker 5 But they're not leaving, are you?
Speaker 5 You know,
Speaker 5 you know, anything we can help with.
Speaker 5
I will be. You will? Indeed, the case of Stephen Selden is solved.
That of Charles Bascoville was just a cover. The police can get rather touchy at our presence.
Oh, I can imagine.
Speaker 5 Well,
Speaker 5
have a good journey back tonight. Tomorrow.
I believe I've missed the last train from Tottenham. Yes, yes, you probably have.
Speaker 5
I could drive you to Exeter. You'd have more luck there.
Not to worry, Mr. Stapleton.
I'll finish up my business here, then back to work in London tomorrow. Busy man.
Very, very busy.
Speaker 6 There's something about this time of year. Ha!
Speaker 5
Yes. Must be something in the water.
That's what they say, isn't it? Ha! Quite, yes.
Speaker 5 Righto.
Speaker 7 And Pharaoh, I'm gonna be around so we can
Speaker 7 go to the pub or, you know, we uh
Speaker 5 can
Speaker 5 sounds terrific.
Speaker 5 Bye now. Bye-bye.
Speaker 5 I mean,
Speaker 7 he could have given me a lift back, right?
Speaker 7 I think a Baskerville in the current circumstances.
Speaker 7 I mean,
Speaker 7 it's not so funny.
Speaker 7 Sherlock?
Speaker 5 Whiskey? Or are you.
Speaker 5 He's stewing.
Speaker 6 Will whiskey help or not help?
Speaker 7 I think not, but thank you.
Speaker 6 You two are started?
Speaker 7 I'm all good. Sit down, Mariana.
Speaker 6 Oh, nice fire.
Speaker 5 Thank you.
Speaker 5 What did you use to start it?
Speaker 5 Paper? Right. Right, I used that newspaper with the um Dartmoor Prison Write-up in it.
Speaker 7 Yeah, I know. I wanted to read that.
Speaker 5 What paper did you use, mate?
Speaker 7 Just.
Speaker 7 uh paper was right there.
Speaker 7 Okay.
Speaker 5 K.
Speaker 5 K.
Speaker 5 Yeah.
Speaker 7 Hey, uh, let's hear how you solve this thing, Mariana.
Speaker 5 Oh, please. Come on.
Speaker 7 I want to hear the whole the the whole saga, the the whole adventure. How'd you do it, Mariana?
Speaker 6 Oh, I I speak with police a lot, so I just wanted to kind of recreate what they do and then, yeah, like bring in some of the stuff we do and hope that I could get to the truth
Speaker 6 right Sherlock hmm
Speaker 7 amen to that
Speaker 5 yeah
Speaker 5 so Tom Gregson hope yeah
Speaker 5 yeah
Speaker 6 they gave me everything all the reports and tapes and audio and I just went through piece by piece by piece and
Speaker 6 I met some characters along the way.
Speaker 7 Yeah, I bet. Hey, don't speak ill of my new neighbors.
Speaker 7 How'd you find out about Rosemary? I mean, that's a real stroke of genius.
Speaker 6 I was speaking to this woman. She,
Speaker 5 Laura Lyons, her name was.
Speaker 6 She said on the 19th she'd seen some activity that night around here and reported it to the police, and I was there chasing it up. Chasing it up?
Speaker 5 Look at you.
Speaker 5 Yeah.
Speaker 6
And I saw a picture of Rosemary on the wall. She was the minder for Laura when she was a girl.
No, no way.
Speaker 6 And I said, that's Rosemary.
Speaker 5 Right, well, I'm gonna...
