Speaker 8 I'm sorry, but I can explain.

Speaker 10 I thought that, I thought that I thought that you'd think.

Speaker 2 What is going on?

Speaker 9 Mariana, please, please, can 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.

Speaker 11 You're alive.

Speaker 12 Oh, you're alive.

Speaker 11 You're hugging me now. Oh, man.

Speaker 13 Oh, Henry, mate.

Speaker 14 I want to go back, Frank.

Speaker 12 I did it wrong.

Speaker 8 How did he become such a monster?

Speaker 13 It is a necklace.

Speaker 2 I see that.

Speaker 16 Beryl Stapleton's her neighbor.

Speaker 11 Oh,

Speaker 18 right.

Speaker 19 Yeah, I'll give it back to her tomorrow.

Speaker 13 And her brother's car

Speaker 13 kind of stole it.

Speaker 11 Yeah,

Speaker 20 they might appreciate that.

Speaker 2 Henry's jacket?

Speaker 21 Yeah, thanks.

Speaker 22 Let's see how I look in this thing, shall we?

Speaker 22 John. Yeah, even when I do it up, still a tosser.

Speaker 17 Oh my god.

Speaker 17 Henry.

Speaker 17 What did you do?

Speaker 22 What are you talking about?

Speaker 23 yet again.

Speaker 14 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 24 Is this like a disease?

Speaker 23 A poison from the waters below.

Speaker 9 You want to see the waters?

Speaker 23 No, not with you.

Speaker 25 Oh, how would it glow?

Speaker 9 You know, I could have walked.

Speaker 23 I don't entirely know that you could have, Mr. Baskerville.

Speaker 9 What?

Speaker 9 Why not?

Speaker 26 Because Mr.

Speaker 23 Stephen Selden roamed the moors without so much of a nibble at his heels. The second he wears your Baskerville-smelling coat, however,

Speaker 9 he gets killed.

Speaker 26 Correct. It lives in heavily wooded air.

Speaker 23 You see why you would be drawn to this one, can't you? In this dim corner of your study, it's our friend here emits a rather pleasing glow, doesn't he? Yes, well, he is a pyrophorus, not to Lucas.

Speaker 23 Firefly of the night.

Speaker 26 Headlight, click beetle.

Speaker 23 There was a keeper title.

Speaker 27 And you don't relinquish old titles.

Speaker 23 Keeper of the game.

Speaker 27 Six legs to a thorax is more my speed.

Speaker 9 You're gonna kill me for for what?

Speaker 8 Please, I'm I'm sorry.

Speaker 9 I but I can explain. I thought that

Speaker 12 I'm sorry, I but I can explain.

Speaker 9 I

Speaker 9 but I can explain. I

Speaker 17 why was this in your pocket, Henry?

Speaker 17 No, no, you don't.

Speaker 3 Oh, no, you don't.

Speaker 8 Come here.

Speaker 3 Get in here now. John.
Jacks, John.

Speaker 12 Get in.

Speaker 29 Please, please.

Speaker 9 Open the door. Open the door now.
Let me out.

Speaker 30 What are you doing out there?

Speaker 9 How about what am I doing in your bedroom? Open the door. Tell me.
I was going to the bathroom.

Speaker 22 On sweet not working for Master of the House.

Speaker 9 John, this place is a mess. Plumbing is like 10th item on my list.
Of course it's not working. You're lying.

Speaker 22 Whatever, dear. No, don't, whatever, me.
Tell me. Tell you what.
This.

Speaker 22 Why was this in your jacket?

Speaker 9 Uh, how about a murderer was wearing my jacket?

Speaker 13 Oh, he was in the loft.

Speaker 22 Was he going through your uncle's legal documents?

Speaker 13 Maybe. You tore up and burned your uncle's will, Henry.

Speaker 28 His fucking will. John.
Don't.

Speaker 26 That's not.

Speaker 12 You ripped up his will and burned it in the fire.

Speaker 22 You left this piece in your pocket by mistake.

Speaker 9 John, it was unsigned.

Speaker 30 Okay?

Speaker 9 He didn't sign it. It was, it was just drafted.
It was recent. When he was sick, when he was unwell, right?

Speaker 13 Henry,

Speaker 22 did Baskerville Hall go to you? In this new will?

Speaker 9 Not solely.

Speaker 19 No. Jesus Christ.

Speaker 28 John.

Speaker 9 John, I destroyed it because it was unsigned. I knew he didn't.

Speaker 9 I knew it didn't qualify as an actual will. All right, someone is manipulating him.
Who? The Barrymores? Mate.

Speaker 29 Mate, come on. Jamie, Jamie, Jamie Mortimer.

Speaker 22 Oh, yeah, and then he hired us to investigate.

Speaker 13 Sure.

Speaker 30 Henry,

Speaker 13 do you know how bad this looks?

Speaker 21 Yes.

Speaker 26 Okay, that's why I destroyed it.

Speaker 9 It looks bad, but it's not actually bad because he didn't sign the thing, okay?

Speaker 9 Look, someone is... Somebody tried to get power of attorney or whatever, somebody local at the local solicitors, and he...

Speaker 9 Charles saw through it, and he got clarity, and he didn't sign.

Speaker 14 All right? I mean,

Speaker 9 you gotta believe me. John,

Speaker 17 please.

Speaker 17 Please.

Speaker 22 Why did you destroy it?

Speaker 9 Because I knew you'd suspect me.

Speaker 21 Of course I would.

Speaker 9 And I know, I know, John, that...

Speaker 9 That is a waste of your time and time...

Speaker 9 Your time matters because something is is going on here.

Speaker 8 And I know it's not me.

Speaker 9 I know it's not me. I promise you, I swear to you that I am innocent.

Speaker 31 I did a stupid thing,

Speaker 9 a really dumb, stupid thing, and it was defensive. I could see all over that draft that someone was trying to take advantage of him, take everything from him, and I

Speaker 9 reacted.

Speaker 2 He's

Speaker 9 he was my family.

Speaker 9 You know, I'm not gonna make a penny out of this place. You know that, right?

Speaker 28 You have to tell Sherlock. I'll tell him.
I tell him.

Speaker 13 I promise.

Speaker 9 I thought it was erroneous because it was just a draft, okay?

Speaker 9 No name beneficiaries, just

Speaker 9 initials, I think.

Speaker 9 I knew Charles had a meeting booked with the solicitor in London, so clearly he changed his.

Speaker 11 What?

Speaker 9 What is it?

Speaker 23 The world is full of obvious things

Speaker 23 which nobody by any chance ever observes.

Speaker 17 Beatricia Baskerville.

Speaker 11 Who?

Speaker 28 The portrait.

Speaker 22 Right behind you. She's been here the whole time.

Speaker 24 Beatricia Baskerville, 1799 to 1827.

Speaker 11 Hey.

Speaker 4 Is that? Go get Mariana.

Speaker 9 Okay.

Speaker 22 That's it, isn't it? You saw it. You were talking to her about it.

Speaker 2 That's.

Speaker 2 That's her necklace. That's...
That's Beryl's necklace.

Speaker 22 Well, Beatricia would tell you it was her necklace.

Speaker 13 What did Beryl tell you about it?

Speaker 2 I asked her where she got it from.

Speaker 30 Her brother?

Speaker 31 Yes. Which, ew, by the way?

Speaker 10 Yeah, gross. Disgusting.

Speaker 2 But she said it's one of a kind.

Speaker 21 Which means...

Speaker 6 It's that. It is that.

Speaker 2 So,

Speaker 2 why does a Stapleton girl have a Baskerville heirloom?

Speaker 22 Jack said to us when we first met him, he said...

Speaker 22 He said the Baskervilles and the Stapletons have been neighbors for hundreds of years.

Speaker 28 Could it have transferred?

Speaker 9 Transferred what exactly? Baskerville belongings?

Speaker 11 Yeah.

Speaker 22 What are you saying? I'm saying the last of the Baskervilles is right there. Him.

Speaker 11 There. I.

Speaker 22 What happens when he dies?

Speaker 9 Which I feel like has almost happened three times now, but whatever.

Speaker 2 What happens when he dies? It it goes to

Speaker 26 a Stapleton?

Speaker 14 But how?

Speaker 30 The how

Speaker 9 would be in a big box in the attic.

Speaker 9 Come on.

Speaker 9 I found

Speaker 11 this

Speaker 9 from a solicitor in London.

Speaker 2 He wanted a London solicitor

Speaker 2 So he wanted to go to London.

Speaker 9 You have any idea what this means?

Speaker 22 No, I don't think we can get into the mind of an isolated, lonely old man.

Speaker 24 No, this.

Speaker 11 What?

Speaker 22 Oh, uh, yeah, no, I've seen that.

Speaker 11 What is it?

Speaker 16 It's a letter I found a couple of days ago.

Speaker 5 Have you told Trona?

Speaker 22 Well, I was building a case and then I caught this guy sneaking out of the house.

Speaker 1 So.

Speaker 2 If you're reading this, then I have just left. We have reconciliated and I have a part of me back again.
Know that I don't want anything from you, but you.

Speaker 2 It's time to stop apologizing to each other and make the most of what we have left. And forget what we have lost.

Speaker 5 L L X X.

Speaker 9 L L X X.

Speaker 9 What is that?

Speaker 22 Well, I thought it was a number.

Speaker 4 Roman numerals, buttons, not a lot of people.

Speaker 11 Oh, God.

Speaker 22 Almighty.

Speaker 26 It's a person.

Speaker 9 You're looking at me.

Speaker 16 And her.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 9 Why? Um, the drafted will I disposed of. Sorry again.
Uh, it had a beneficiary named as LL.

Speaker 23 Lovely. Now your turn.

Speaker 2 What, Sherlock? I don't know what you mean.

Speaker 23 Well, I hope you can jog your memory rather quickly. It's getting very late, and we will be needing our sleep.

Speaker 2 My memory.

Speaker 23 You're the one that's met her. It's only a pity why you didn't ask her exactly what on earth she was doing outside the Baskerville estate on the night Sir Charles died.

Speaker 23 It.

Speaker 30 Laura.

Speaker 2 Lyons. Oh my god.

Speaker 23 And so,

Speaker 23 our investigations have been running on parallel lines. And we come now to the point where we must unite our results.

Speaker 22 What do you need to know?

Speaker 23 Tell me everything.

Speaker 23 Well,

Speaker 22 as the train journey came to an end, the green hills of Wiltshire and Somerset soon bleached into the granite rocks, blooms of bog moss, bronzing bracken, mottled brown.

Speaker 15 Pretty thing, wasn't she?

Speaker 19 Morning, Frank.

Speaker 19 Hmm.

Speaker 15 She didn't get long, eh?

Speaker 19 Beatricia Baskerville, yeah.

Speaker 15 You're in her room, aren't you?

Speaker 28 Uh, yeah.

Speaker 19 Yeah, I've got the portrait, yeah.

Speaker 17 Poor cow.

Speaker 19 How did she die?

Speaker 17 Do I look like a historian to you?

Speaker 15 I don't know what happened in her life, but I can tell you what happened in her death, lad.

Speaker 4 What do you mean?

Speaker 15 Ten years back now.

Speaker 19 We had trespassers, didn't we?

Speaker 15 Nosing round here. I called the police.
Load of bloody good that did. I chased him away one night and come looking for what they took.

Speaker 22 What did they take?

Speaker 32 You're looking at

Speaker 11 what

Speaker 15 They these grass shoots ain't 200 years old are they? I laid this down, but we back out doing it

Speaker 28 Jesus

Speaker 15 Grave robber. You don't see that much these days, do you?

Speaker 28 No

Speaker 8 Well, well

Speaker 15 hopefully the Lord is still looking after her

Speaker 15 wherever she is now

Speaker 24 I can take a guess

Speaker 23 John time to go right

Speaker 12 right

Speaker 11 uh well,

Speaker 4 been a pleasure, Frank.

Speaker 19 Sorry about the Black Eye.

Speaker 19 Oh, I've had worse, lad.

Speaker 15 You lot take care of yourselves.

Speaker 19 We'll do.

Speaker 13 We'll do. This is Sherlock, by the way.

Speaker 22 This is Frank, the gamekeeper. I don't know if you've properly met.

Speaker 21 Underkeeper.

Speaker 12 How'd you know that one?

Speaker 13 Because you're not the gamekeeper.

Speaker 23 That would be a Mr. Stapleton.

Speaker 15 Always has been.

Speaker 23 Of course.

Speaker 23 I hate to ask, but we may need to borrow your Landrover.

Speaker 23 Ever so briefly.

Speaker 17 Of course. Where are you off to?

Speaker 23 I'm

Speaker 26 Is that the expression?

Speaker 23 That's definitely the expression, isn't it?

Speaker 13 That is the expression. Yes.

Speaker 23 Lovely.

Speaker 20 What time were you back, Henry?

Speaker 9 Um, I don't. I'm not really sure because it's uh, yeah, it's it complicated.

Speaker 20 Did Frank say this was all right?

Speaker 23 He said we could borrow it. Only momentarily, I assure you.

Speaker 26 Where are you going?

Speaker 9 To Merry Kate House.

Speaker 26 Yes, indeed.

Speaker 9 What are you doing?

Speaker 23 Mariana will be driving.

Speaker 27 Hi. Are you guys?

Speaker 23 John and I have to look into something, but we will join in due course.

Speaker 21 Are you serious?

Speaker 28 Yeah, are you?

Speaker 23 Oh, very much so. Ready, Mariana?

Speaker 24 Ready?

Speaker 23 It's lovely. We drive on the left here.

Speaker 2 Yes, I've noticed.

Speaker 20 What's going on with the Stapletons exactly?

Speaker 23 All will be revealed.

Speaker 9 Oh, wait, can I just.

Speaker 23 I don't require your aftershave, Mr. Baskerville.
You're handsome and charming enough as it is.

Speaker 9 That's very kind.

Speaker 23 Plus, Beryl and Jack, it's a rather messy coupling.

Speaker 9 A coupling?

Speaker 9 They're brother and sister.

Speaker 26 They're husband and wife.

Speaker 34 Uh, what?

Speaker 22 You daffy Henry.

Speaker 7 See you shortly.

Speaker 24 Enjoyed that, did you?

Speaker 23 I don't know what you're talking about, Watson.

Speaker 22 Ooh, let me hold information right to the last moment for dramatic effect.

Speaker 4 How dare you? Come on.

Speaker 23 Watson, I assure you, my methods, their order, and their construct are absolutely necessary to solving any given case. Now strip down to your underpants.

Speaker 8 Sorry, what?

Speaker 23 Oh, God. I don't know what's worse.

Speaker 13 The fact that I'm hunting a large demon dog or that I'm walking through a mine shaft in my pants.

Speaker 18 Ow!

Speaker 8 Well,

Speaker 21 you're doing both.

Speaker 26 So comparing the two is immaterial.

Speaker 22 Ah, yes, well, there's certainly a lack of material, mate, that you are right about.

Speaker 3 Ah, God's sake.

Speaker 23 If you want to ask me why we are doing what we're doing, I don't need to.

Speaker 21 Really?

Speaker 8 Yes.

Speaker 12 Really?

Speaker 26 Oh, you have come a long way, Watson.

Speaker 30 Bravo.

Speaker 13 You want us to remove all of our clothing so we don't have the scent of Baskervilles on us, right?

Speaker 22 And if we don't have the scent of Baskervilles, then we can locate this hound which has been kept in this horrible place by its horrible owner.

Speaker 28 Very good.

Speaker 28 I'd say

Speaker 23 you may well have solved more of this case than I have.

Speaker 8 Yeah, really.

Speaker 8 Do you have it in you, John?

Speaker 8 To

Speaker 3 shoot it?

Speaker 3 Yes.

Speaker 12 I think so. Yeah.

Speaker 19 I need better than that.

Speaker 28 Yeah, I'll do it like I can do it.

Speaker 28 Thank you.

Speaker 23 I suspect it to be unnecessary,

Speaker 23 but I cannot see all ends.

Speaker 26 Not at this moment.

Speaker 3 Why do we think it will be unnecessary?

Speaker 23 Because the hound acts upon the commands of its master. It is certainly mistreated and almost definitely malnourished.

Speaker 23 The only reason it continues to dwell in this wretched hole is because it will be chained to its walls.

Speaker 23 We walk, Watson, through this retired mineshaft, and as we do so, we step backwards from the real to the mythic, from modernity to antiquity.

Speaker 23 For this case, that of the hound of the Baskervilles exists in all those states, yet transcends

Speaker 23 every single one.

Speaker 23 The keeper of game on Grimpen is an honorary title Watson created for a great servant and his descendants, the ancestors of Jack Stapleton, handed through the generations a role to manage the habitat, a charge of predator control.

Speaker 17 But now

Speaker 23 All these years later, it is the underkeepers, the stalkers, beaters, and ghillies that manage the hunts, marshal the pack, cull the birds and beasts, but it is still

Speaker 23 that ancient post.

Speaker 25 The keeper of game

Speaker 3 that owns the dogs.

Speaker 23 And what if that keeper hundreds of years ago put aside the biggest, the fiercest hounds from his hunting pack? Likely one afflicted with gigantism like our Irish giant in the Hunterian.

Speaker 23 What if with each litter there became an even bigger, even more brutish offspring? What if that process was undertaken by every Stapleton heir from then until now?

Speaker 23 Then it is reasonable, is it not? That the story of Hugo Baskerville is true. He did build a vast home in a cherished land.

Speaker 19 He did abduct a local girl, likely a stapleton.

Speaker 23 And he did meet his doom to such

Speaker 23 a hound of hell.

Speaker 8 Cherlock, it is true.

Speaker 23 Our hound is a giant with monstrous features, glowing eyes, and blistering fangs.

Speaker 12 We know all this, Cherlock.

Speaker 3 But it is also true.

Speaker 26 Humanity has monstrous features.

Speaker 3 Glowing lust and blistering rage.

Speaker 14 Sherlock, move back!

Speaker 23 Hide those characteristics in the darkness, conceal them in deceit. Extinguish any light of truth, and we fabricate the rest.

Speaker 26 We see

Speaker 3 only

Speaker 8 monsters.

Speaker 9 The red light is flashing. Does that mean it's recording?

Speaker 14 Um, yeah, yeah, sure.

Speaker 9 Well, what are you doing?

Speaker 9 Come on.

Speaker 9 This is not Mary Pitt House.

Speaker 2 No, it's not.

Speaker 9 Then what are we doing here?

Speaker 1 Oh, hello again.

Speaker 21 Who are you?

Speaker 2 What? Tell me who you really are.

Speaker 31 What are you talking about?

Speaker 2 You were right. Rosemary was hiding her family history, but we think you might be doing the exact same thing, Laura.

Speaker 31 Please, I think you've had enough fun playing Miss Marble, darling, all right?

Speaker 31 Excuse me?

Speaker 2 Ah, no, no, no, no, no. You are not excused.
And you are not excused from an investigation.

Speaker 31 What investigation is that exactly?

Speaker 2 The death of Sir Charles Baskerville.

Speaker 2 And if you don't tell me who the hell you are, then I will tell the police that a certain Laura Lyons was corresponding with an old rich guy and was outside his house the night he mysteriously died on the spot.

Speaker 2 Now, do you want to be Laura Lyons? Or do you want to be someone else? Because she sounds like she's going to be in a lot of trouble.

Speaker 9 I would cooperate because I don't think she's gonna let this go.

Speaker 31 I wanted his name, but he wouldn't give it to me.

Speaker 11 Who?

Speaker 31 Sir Charles Baskerville.

Speaker 31 My dad.

Speaker 31 A brief thing with my mum.

Speaker 31 A long time ago, apparently.

Speaker 31 He and I

Speaker 31 met.

Speaker 31 for real a few years ago

Speaker 9 Henry Baskerville.

Speaker 11 Hi.

Speaker 31 Laura, Lions.

Speaker 1 Hi.

Speaker 9 Still going by Lions, are we?

Speaker 31 I like my mum more than my dad, so.

Speaker 9 That's, uh, yeah.

Speaker 9 Understandable.

Speaker 2 You realize this looks bad for you, right?

Speaker 31 It's not like I snuck out across the moors.

Speaker 2 It's exactly like that.

Speaker 31 I work late. My 11 p.m.
is everyone else's 5 p.m. I spoke to him that day.
I told him not to go to London. I said I'd call by on the way home.
He said he'd meet me out the front.

Speaker 9 You were driving home and you called by?

Speaker 29 Yeah.

Speaker 9 Why didn't you drive, I don't know, through the front gate and up to the driveway like a normal person? person.

Speaker 31 Because my partner told me not to. Why? Because it would incriminate me.
He said, Don't be on camera, don't do this, don't do that, because that will be used against me. He's

Speaker 31 look, let me make something very clear.

Speaker 9 This guy sounds like a total dumbass.

Speaker 31 Right, you can just stop. That's my fiancé you're talking about.

Speaker 31 Wait, wait, stop, stop, stop.

Speaker 2 Who exactly is your fiancé?

Speaker 2 Jack Stapleton, open this fucking door right now.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Let's see what we can do here.

Speaker 9 What are we gonna say exactly?

Speaker 2 Well, there is a reason why we've had to do this case, just me and John.

Speaker 3 And me?

Speaker 21 Yes, true.

Speaker 2 And that reason is because he is only scared of one person. And it's not me, It's not you.

Speaker 2 And it's not even Laura.

Speaker 21 Who is it?

Speaker 11 Sherlock Holmes.

Speaker 19 So what do we do?

Speaker 2 We tell him

Speaker 2 Sherlock has gone home.

Speaker 2 Jack?

Speaker 2 It's Mariana.

Speaker 1 I was...

Speaker 2 Laura was very helpful investigating the Stephen Selden case. I'm sorry I misspoke, and I'm really sorry she wanted to confront you about it.
I'm going to help her cool off in the car, okay?

Speaker 2 No hurt feelings.

Speaker 2 I'm truly sorry.

Speaker 2 To you too, Beryl. So, so sorry.

Speaker 2 Beryl.

Speaker 6 Hello.

Speaker 18 Beryl.

Speaker 9 Where's Jack?

Speaker 10 I have done a terrible thing.

Speaker 8 It's okay.

Speaker 8 It's all right. It's all right.

Speaker 8 He's gone.

Speaker 23 He is at peace now.

Speaker 13 The chain snapped, and I had to.

Speaker 26 I know.

Speaker 24 He was very sick, John.

Speaker 24 Look,

Speaker 23 consuming this water his whole life.

Speaker 8 Starved,

Speaker 7 abused.

Speaker 4 I know, I know, but

Speaker 4 Enormous

Speaker 26 You see this here

Speaker 5 What is it?

Speaker 23 It's the residue from his life down here amidst the veins of arsenic

Speaker 23 That yellow hue was activated into that hellish glow

Speaker 23 With the consumption of these

Speaker 17 oh Jesus, what is that stapletons click beetles for sustenance?

Speaker 23 Yes But they glow this substance in their gut does yes.

Speaker 23 It clung to the jowls and teeth of our poor friend here.

Speaker 4 It lit him up.

Speaker 19 His teeth, his eyes.

Speaker 23 Our entomologist was able to bring the mythical beast to life.

Speaker 23 He allowed the character of the hound to be conceived by the people of Dartmoor. And he simply delivered what they feared to be true.

Speaker 14 Well,

Speaker 7 we have ourselves here

Speaker 19 a very very rare dog breed

Speaker 8 about

Speaker 16 twice the size of a great dane.

Speaker 22 He's bloody heavy.

Speaker 19 Feel the weight of his head on my knee.

Speaker 8 Good God.

Speaker 23 Teeth four times that of a German shepherd.

Speaker 19 Feet, I mean

Speaker 13 bigger than mine.

Speaker 23 Not saying much there, I don't think.

Speaker 13 Haha, shut up. I believe we have something

Speaker 21 in here

Speaker 13 which, according to our friend Henry, would be exceptionally rare.

Speaker 15 Oh, yes. What's that?

Speaker 8 A

Speaker 13 Toronto Blue Jay's cap outside of Toronto.

Speaker 13 Stapleton took it so the hound would have the scent.

Speaker 7 Of course.

Speaker 23 He opted for the cap because the shoe had already been cleaned by the hotel and therefore the scent was gone. He returned the shoe and took the cap.

Speaker 9 But I mean

Speaker 22 he can't be our bearded man.

Speaker 23 He augmented the features of this enormous dog. Could he not do the same to himself?

Speaker 16 A fake beard. I've been dragged through all of this because of a fake beard.

Speaker 18 Well,

Speaker 23 let's go and retrieve it from him. We'll frame it and put it up in Baker Street.

Speaker 28 Good idea.

Speaker 19 Good idea.

Speaker 19 Come,

Speaker 25 take my hand.

Speaker 19 Goodbye, mate.

Speaker 19 Shame you never got to meet Archie.

Speaker 3 I think you would have made quite the team.

Speaker 3 Let's rest now.

Speaker 3 Good boy.

Speaker 5 You've probably never heard that before, have you?

Speaker 5 So, uh, yeah.

Speaker 19 Let's go close this case.

Speaker 23 Bladly.

Speaker 16 Can we put some clothes on first?

Speaker 23 Yes, we should, shouldn't we?

Speaker 13 Jack!

Speaker 14 Jack!

Speaker 9 Jack!

Speaker 9 Jack!

Speaker 9 This it's just I can't see Mariana. This I can't Jack!

Speaker 17 Whoa, Jesus.

Speaker 9 Okay, I can't I can't see a thing. Clearly, it's just fog everywhere.

Speaker 10 I have done a terrible thing.

Speaker 2 What, Peril?

Speaker 17 What did you do?

Speaker 9 Jack!

Speaker 36 There are no pixies, Mr. Baskerville.

Speaker 2 I'm gonna go look this side.

Speaker 9 I'll take this side.

Speaker 9 Jack!

Speaker 36 I put the lights through Grimp and Meiner.

Speaker 13 You did?

Speaker 2 Jack!

Speaker 36 And I knew today that Jack would head once again again to that hound

Speaker 22 to have that beast hunt you down

Speaker 36 Jack would have to like always follow my lights

Speaker 36 Through the mire

Speaker 6 Jack Stapleton!

Speaker 2 I knew that can you hear us?

Speaker 10 So I moved them

Speaker 12 Hey! Hey, Mariana!

Speaker 5 What?

Speaker 35 I moved the lights.

Speaker 34 Come over here!

Speaker 9 Did you can you see my phone lights?

Speaker 14 Yeah, coming.

Speaker 2 Where do they lead, Beryl?

Speaker 14 I can

Speaker 29 kind of see something in the water.

Speaker 22 Where do they lead?

Speaker 9 Tell me if I'm going crazy.

Speaker 22 Into the deep.

Speaker 11 Oh my god.

Speaker 26 I think we found him.

Speaker 2 He fell in.

Speaker 32 Yeah.

Speaker 24 He's so still.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 9 Like one of his butterflies.

Speaker 12 John?

Speaker 2 John over here.

Speaker 9 See my phone light. John.
John, over here.

Speaker 23 Hey, is everyone alright?

Speaker 2 We're good.

Speaker 13 I found something of yours? Wow. The Blue Jay's cap.

Speaker 9 Thanks, man.

Speaker 9 Yeah, no, thanks. But

Speaker 9 I uh

Speaker 9 we actually found something of yours.

Speaker 5 What's that?

Speaker 9 Take a look

Speaker 9 goodness

Speaker 8 He drowned himself.

Speaker 2 I'm gonna

Speaker 2 gonna turn this mic off

Speaker 9 he was

Speaker 9 He was led astray

Speaker 13 by the pixies

Speaker 9 Something like that

Speaker 2 It would seem that Jack here wanted Baskerville Hall, estate and land all for himself.

Speaker 2 Even if it meant lying about Beryl.

Speaker 19 Even if it meant abusing some poor dog to haunt the Baskervilles like his predecessors had done.

Speaker 2 And tricking some poor local woman.

Speaker 23 Laura Lyons.

Speaker 2 You knew?

Speaker 18 New?

Speaker 26 That's rather strong.

Speaker 23 I observed many things.

Speaker 23 Family resemblance was the easiest to assess.

Speaker 24 Poor Uncle Charles.

Speaker 9 He didn't want to give it to Laura because she was being used by Jack. And he didn't want to give it to me because, well, I'd be mauled to pieces.

Speaker 9 So,

Speaker 9 he tried to break the age-old rule of British aristocracy.

Speaker 23 Selling the family silver.

Speaker 12 Indeed.

Speaker 23 It would seem, despite what Sir Charles feared in his final days, we do not arrive at the end of the Baskervilles.

Speaker 23 We find ourselves at the end of the Stapletons.

Speaker 23 staring up at us with frenzied eyes in the murk of a thick bog.

Speaker 33 It sounds silly, but

Speaker 20 he locked muddy puddles.

Speaker 20 So I wanted to put him here while I.

Speaker 2 You don't have to say.

Speaker 11 Hmm?

Speaker 2 Recording? I never know if John will use stuff, so

Speaker 30 yeah.

Speaker 30 Right.

Speaker 20 You think the police want my son's body?

Speaker 2 I

Speaker 2 don't know, Rosemary.

Speaker 2 I

Speaker 2 but I think

Speaker 2 you deserve this, at least.

Speaker 19 Yeah,

Speaker 20 He doesn't.

Speaker 20 That man I buried.

Speaker 16 But the little boy

Speaker 15 that he was.

Speaker 32 He does.

Speaker 12 I hope, um,

Speaker 12 I don't know, really.

Speaker 15 I hope

Speaker 30 you

Speaker 20 and everyone.

Speaker 24 I hope he can forgive his

Speaker 30 spirit.

Speaker 2 Not his mind,

Speaker 20 not his personality or his

Speaker 20 whatever chemicals he had fire in and misfiring, but

Speaker 20 I hope they can forgive

Speaker 20 that little boy in his willy boot.

Speaker 10 That little boy that maybe

Speaker 31 didn't deal with his father's death all that well, you know?

Speaker 36 I know. I moved on too quick.

Speaker 20 Maybe he learned callousness from me.

Speaker 20 Maybe he learned it from Frank.

Speaker 8 I don't know.

Speaker 2 My detective friend over there?

Speaker 33 That's all skinny one.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 He says that evil is like a poison. No child is born with venom in their veins.

Speaker 22 You didn't give it to him.

Speaker 26 He just got lost.

Speaker 8 Like a wanderer in the fog.

Speaker 16 He got lost.

Speaker 9 Hey,

Speaker 27 hey, Rosemary, we're heading off.

Speaker 6 Not without a hug, you're not.

Speaker 2 I better go say bye to Frank.

Speaker 9 Yeah, of course. But John says I gotta take that mic.

Speaker 2 This bare mic?

Speaker 14 Why?

Speaker 14 Said that we

Speaker 14 did it.

Speaker 14 Did it call

Speaker 14 it?

Speaker 9 A glass of Sarah?

Speaker 36 Sierra.

Speaker 30 Oh,

Speaker 9 Sierra. Sorry, I'm not.

Speaker 9 Not a wine guy.

Speaker 36 I noticed.

Speaker 18 Well,

Speaker 11 cheers.

Speaker 1 Cheers.

Speaker 11 To

Speaker 36 finally being

Speaker 9 alone?

Speaker 11 Yeah.

Speaker 19 Kinda.

Speaker 36 The pup pub is too busy tonight, is that what you're saying?

Speaker 11 Well, yeah, but no.

Speaker 8 This.

Speaker 36 The microphone.

Speaker 9 Yeah, there's like thousands and thousands of people listening.

Speaker 21 Really?

Speaker 9 Like tens of thousands.

Speaker 11 No.

Speaker 9 No, and likely hundreds of thousands. I don't know.

Speaker 36 Well, that's not.

Speaker 36 Yeah, maybe not as intimate.

Speaker 1 Intimate, right.

Speaker 36 As I thought.

Speaker 8 This is

Speaker 9 where we first saw each other.

Speaker 36 At this table?

Speaker 11 Well, no.

Speaker 9 This pub. The Rugglestone Inn.
This is where we first, uh, yeah.

Speaker 9 Noticed one another.

Speaker 11 Oh, Henry.

Speaker 11 What?

Speaker 36 That's not.

Speaker 36 This is not where I first saw you.

Speaker 11 It's not?

Speaker 36 Keep away from the mall.

Speaker 8 The...

Speaker 30 Wait.

Speaker 34 The note?

Speaker 11 Yeah.

Speaker 9 The note in the shoe shop?

Speaker 36 That was me.

Speaker 30 Barrel, wow.

Speaker 11 Holy crap.

Speaker 9 You really are a conniving little weird pixie person.

Speaker 9 How did you...

Speaker 11 Why?

Speaker 9 Uh, but why?

Speaker 36 He dragged me to London.

Speaker 11 Jack?

Speaker 13 Yeah.

Speaker 31 I...

Speaker 36 Actually,

Speaker 36 before I came to meet you,

Speaker 36 I got this.

Speaker 24 What is this?

Speaker 36 Try it on.

Speaker 36 Oh my.

Speaker 36 What?

Speaker 9 A fake beard.

Speaker 36 He followed Sherlock.

Speaker 36 And John.

Speaker 36 He was so...

Speaker 36 so desperate for them to not get involved.

Speaker 28 My god.

Speaker 36 When he found out from Jamie that you were flying over, that you'd inherited the house, he went straight there, to London, for your shoe.

Speaker 9 But they they cleaned it too good, right?

Speaker 12 Right.

Speaker 36 And then he took your cap.

Speaker 9 Well, I was in the shower. Yeah, nice.
Thanks, Jack.

Speaker 8 Jeez.

Speaker 36 It was all.

Speaker 36 It was just

Speaker 36 spiraling out of control.

Speaker 10 Even when we were in London, I just.

Speaker 36 I had to.

Speaker 31 I had to try to

Speaker 31 tell you.

Speaker 9 So you did the note.

Speaker 35 Yeah.

Speaker 36 I knew from what Jack was ranting and raving about, just how

Speaker 36 on the ball Sherlock was.

Speaker 10 So

Speaker 12 I.

Speaker 9 Thought outside the box.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 9 Newspaper cuttings. A rushed bit of penwork at the end of the note, by the way.

Speaker 36 I know.

Speaker 36 He came back into the room.

Speaker 36 I was in the hotel bathroom doing all that. We, um.

Speaker 11 Yeah, we.

Speaker 36 He dragged us straight back down to Dartmoor after that.

Speaker 36 I think he thought he'd escaped Sherlock.

Speaker 36 And

Speaker 36 I think I thought I'd convince you not to come to Basketball Hall.

Speaker 9 But I didn't listen.

Speaker 36 You did not?

Speaker 9 I didn't listen to anybody.

Speaker 9 I wasn't buying that hound stuff. I mean, the only person I listened to face to face was you.

Speaker 36 Did you really?

Speaker 11 Yeah.

Speaker 9 And it was all bullshit.

Speaker 11 Come on.

Speaker 9 International boarding school.

Speaker 36 No.

Speaker 36 Cypriot. Turkish Cypriot.

Speaker 9 Boom! There it is.

Speaker 10 You do not look like that guy.

Speaker 11 Yeah, he.

Speaker 36 You can't reason with

Speaker 9 an abuser.

Speaker 6 Right.

Speaker 22 Yeah.

Speaker 12 Jack just.

Speaker 36 He was.

Speaker 36 The whole

Speaker 36 brother-sister thing.

Speaker 36 He talked about

Speaker 36 luring you out into the darkness, using me as

Speaker 36 bait.

Speaker 36 Wicked,

Speaker 36 porgous,

Speaker 8 total.

Speaker 3 I know.

Speaker 3 I know.

Speaker 36 I don't know what happened to Mary Pitt House and

Speaker 9 I just fuck Mary Pitt House Beryl.

Speaker 11 Yeah?

Speaker 28 Yeah.

Speaker 9 What happens to Beryl State? Wait, oh, wait, what's your real last name?

Speaker 30 Thalman.

Speaker 11 Right.

Speaker 36 And the Turkish Beryl is B-E-R-I-L.

Speaker 9 It's uh, it's nice to finally meet you,

Speaker 3 neighbor.

Speaker 3 you too.

Speaker 3 Uh sorry

Speaker 3 voice note time. Hope you don't mind

Speaker 27 I was just

Speaker 37 I was just thinking

Speaker 4 coffee trolley is coming.

Speaker 6 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 Oh man, I can see shortbread from here.

Speaker 21 Oh really? Hmm.

Speaker 20 Yes, a biscuit.

Speaker 22 Good idea. You finished trying to calculate our speed, are you?

Speaker 26 Not quite.

Speaker 37 You're a funny bunch.

Speaker 37 You three.

Speaker 6 Oh, no, John.

Speaker 2 What?

Speaker 14 Custard creams.

Speaker 5 Oh, stop the train.

Speaker 22 This is an emergency.

Speaker 23 Please do not scoff endless custard cream biscuits, please.

Speaker 2 Yeah, we're a business, John.

Speaker 13 Then I will charge it to the business.

Speaker 8 Somehow,

Speaker 37 despite all those trials you go through, all that

Speaker 37 pain you see in people,

Speaker 37 You still

Speaker 26 here we go. This is it.

Speaker 23 Goodness they have chocolate hobnobs.

Speaker 13 Here he is, the master detective has observed.

Speaker 37 You still bring light.

Speaker 37 You bring truce and closure and meaning.

Speaker 37 But more than anything else,

Speaker 37 you bring the light.

Speaker 37 I don't know, I don't know, I don't know what to do.

Speaker 4 I don't care what this costs are.

Speaker 14 Wow, that just meant first.

Speaker 19 Yeah, I know, I'm a changed man.

Speaker 3 And I think

Speaker 37 Jack Stapleton,

Speaker 37 having listened to all that

Speaker 23 joy,

Speaker 37 that warmth, these last two years,

Speaker 37 he wanted to tear it apart.

Speaker 23 Yes, now this is how you close a case.

Speaker 28 I agree.

Speaker 37 He wanted to tear you apart, John.

Speaker 37 I found

Speaker 37 a speaker.

Speaker 37 We both did.

Speaker 37 Henry and I.

Speaker 2 Good, good, good.

Speaker 28 Good, good.

Speaker 24 Just a

Speaker 37 Bluetooth thing.

Speaker 37 He wanted to deceive you.

Speaker 37 Like that caterpillar to those ants.

Speaker 31 You okay, John?

Speaker 37 But

Speaker 37 but he also wanted to hurt you.

Speaker 37 That voice of Mary's

Speaker 37 is from your show.

Speaker 37 He was playing a clip

Speaker 37 at night

Speaker 37 outside the hall.

Speaker 37 He wanted to pull you into the darkness.

Speaker 2 How are you doing there, conductor of light?

Speaker 37 I'm sorry, John.

Speaker 37 About everything.

Speaker 37 But I'm not sorry that I met you

Speaker 37 and Sherlock

Speaker 37 and Mariana

Speaker 37 and Archie.

Speaker 37 Good luck with your new adventures

Speaker 37 as I begin mine.

Speaker 8 I'm yeah.

Speaker 22 I'm doing

Speaker 17 I'm doing pretty good.

Speaker 37 I'm off to enjoy the silence.

Speaker 13 Pretty.

Speaker 9 I hope you can too.

Speaker 28 All right, Archie.

Speaker 13 All right, that's enough, mate. Why would it be a package for you, eh?

Speaker 28 Wow, okay.

Speaker 11 Oh, my God.

Speaker 4 Dear Sherlock, John, and Mariana, I'm redecorating.

Speaker 13 I didn't want to stick her away in the attic.

Speaker 22 Shirley Schells!

Speaker 4 Mariana! Mazzy Maz, come see this!

Speaker 2 What is it?

Speaker 5 A new new flat, mate?

Speaker 21 Where shall I put her up?

Speaker 23 Well, goodness me.

Speaker 2 Beatrica Baskerville, welcome to 221B.

Speaker 22 Now, she's a bit creepy, so I vote for 221A.

Speaker 2 Oh, no, no, no, that does not go with my status.

Speaker 22 What do you mean? This is a vintage pawn.

Speaker 2 It doesn't match. No, plus, my flat is the office.
You really want her staring at our client?

Speaker 28 Yeah, all right.

Speaker 13 Sherlock, here you go, mate.

Speaker 21 No, thank you, Watson.

Speaker 13 Now, come on, she's a Baskerville.

Speaker 22 She's an emblem of what you said was one of our best cases.

Speaker 13 He said that? Yeah, he said that on the train.

Speaker 23 She is a Baskerville, yes. But she is also a Stapleton.
And that makes this particular artwork undesirable.

Speaker 21 Is she?

Speaker 23 Is she what?

Speaker 22 Is she a Stapleton?

Speaker 26 Yes, was I.

Speaker 23 I knew you weren't listening on the train. I was.
You said you were listening. You said you were just resting your eyelids.

Speaker 22 Sherlock, look, I was very tired.

Speaker 23 The families married, and the poor woman was, very likely, murdered by Harold Baskerville in 1827. This was all tied up in the hatred between

Speaker 9 Open your eyes. Open your eyes immediately.

Speaker 8 It's not funny.

Speaker 13 Come on, I was only joking.

Speaker 22 I'm listening, mate.

Speaker 12 Okay, very good.

Speaker 30 Bye-bye.

Speaker 13 No, you're taking creepy peer treasure with you.

Speaker 2 No, John, I don't, I don't.

Speaker 5 Archie, stop barking.

Speaker 13 Shouldn't you be editing?

Speaker 22 I am editing.

Speaker 13 I'm editing this dog's behaviour and Mariana's stupid decor.

Speaker 29 Archie, quick. Let's go.

Speaker 13 No, take her with you.

Speaker 2 Uh-uh. Nope.

Speaker 21 Don't look at me. I'm not having.

Speaker 22 Oh, for God's sake. Well, someone please just take this picture.

Speaker 8 Uh-oh.

Speaker 8 What?

Speaker 23 I may have neglected to tell Gwen that everything is in hand.

Speaker 2 Where is she?

Speaker 23 Um, Devon.

Speaker 4 Oh, for Gwen.

Speaker 8 Hello, Gwen. Sherlock.

Speaker 23 Gwen, I know.

Speaker 8 Oh, my God.

Speaker 23 But I've got you a rather lovely gift.

Speaker 26 Sherlock!

Speaker 23 It's a delightful, um,

Speaker 23 early 19th century piece.

Speaker 28 You are such a neoclassical portrait, portrait, smooth brushwork. Shut up!
