2:00
Roses are red, my name is Violet.
2:02
I've loved the show since the pilot.
2:05
Now I must ask for one
2:07
little thing to rid me of
2:09
these men that cling. They demand
2:11
my attention, my love for the
2:14
Tris. The
2:16
one I fear most, the
2:19
solitary cyclist. Exactly. She's
2:21
my fiancee, Violet. Ah,
2:24
right. When's the big day?
2:26
Tomorrow. Oh, wow. Nervous
2:29
times. I don't like
2:31
him. Oh, Zach. Correct. You
2:34
don't know him. Yes, but
2:36
he knows us. You sent
2:38
my colleague a Valentine's card pretending to
2:40
be your sister. You asked for help,
2:43
and now you're getting it. I didn't. I
2:45
didn't do anything. Bang! They found
2:48
my TikTok, which is just me,
2:50
not like my online persona. And
2:53
from that, they found where I live. And
2:57
I guess right now, at this moment in time,
2:59
they're spying on me. They've
3:01
seen videos they've posted of me through
3:03
this window. Found the shops in the
3:06
village. Yeah. Never
3:09
caught any of them. Never seen
3:11
any of them. Apart
3:13
from one. The solitary cyclist.
3:15
What? Who is he?
3:18
I don't know. I'm going to kill them.
3:20
Listen to me. I am going
3:22
to commit a murder. Dad's gone. Put it in the heart.
3:24
I don't care which one. I
3:26
don't care if it's some 15-year-old kid who thinks it's
3:28
all a laugh. Dead. Unless you and him can
3:30
stop him. Bit of jeopardy for
3:32
you, yeah? Keep you invested. Yeah.
3:37
Yeah. Hello,
3:48
wakey-wakey. Cup of
3:50
tea for Mr Holmes. For

mcgrew baby because watson zone of

only growing know steady know that

snoring hoping my clothes riding a
5:58
bike a scintilla think The Walk-in
6:00
parking hell, jeez. Parking
6:03
hell, right, that's a new one. Erm,
6:05
let me just tap this microphone in my... That
6:08
doesn't fit in the pocket, of course it doesn't. Er,
6:10
sorry everybody, you are heading to the croc. There
6:13
we go. Er,
6:17
okay, well. New TK
6:19
Max belt is holding you nicely. Here
6:21
I am! Here I am. Erm... Yeah,
6:25
this is a bit mad, but I've got
6:28
one of those rental bikes from London. Er,
6:30
named after a bank, or an infamous Eaton
6:32
boy. Take your pick. Er,
6:35
anyway, I got on the train with it. Er, had
6:37
a few dodgy looks, but get this. I thought it
6:39
would shut off. Or, or
6:42
something. You know, being so far from London,
6:44
er, out here in Surrey, but no! No,
6:46
she's still going. Hey,
6:48
not bad for £2 an hour. Ahhh!
6:53
That is gorgeous. Absolutely
6:56
gorgeous round here. Yeah,
6:58
the fresh dawn sunshine easing through
7:00
the delicate morning glaze, as
7:03
I cycle in the golden glow of the
7:05
Surrey hill, looking for
7:07
storkers and perverts. Heh. Lovely. Er,
7:11
Sherlock has charged me with a bit
7:13
of field research. Literally,
7:15
er, I'm going to go sit in a field and
7:18
research. Well, I'm opting for a bush, but
7:21
will accept any concealing foliage. You know,
7:23
tree, shrub, hedge. Heh. I'm
7:26
going to stake out this road that goes along the heath.
7:30
Er, as Violet says, nothing really around.
7:33
Er, some hay bales in the fields, a
7:35
tractor, a, erm...
7:38
I don't know what that is. Er,
7:41
a plough. Or something like
7:43
a plough. Whatever. Er, right! I'd
7:45
better find a place to hide
7:47
before Violet, and ideally the
7:49
cyclist with a death wish, come along. Not,
7:52
not, not Jeremy Vine. Heh.
7:55
The solitary cyclist. The stalker, who,
7:57
if he carries on, is going to get
7:59
killed. my Violet's brother Bobby.
8:02
Yeah, oh okay I'm gonna go
8:04
for this bush here on the
8:06
roadside. Let me just... Ow,
8:14
ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ramble. Okay,
8:18
god bloody hell. Right, I'm
8:20
in. My
8:24
rental bike is hidden in the field behind
8:26
me and yours truly
8:28
like the well-trained soldier he is is
8:30
concealed in the hedgerow awaiting
8:33
cyclists. This
8:36
is of course a huge waste of time potentially
8:38
because it is her wedding day but that's why
8:40
I've come early you know to catch a
8:43
possible pre-wedding workout to blow off steam.
8:46
I know I would. God. One
8:55
minute you're winning podcast awards for drama. Next
8:57
minute you sat in a bush by the
8:59
side of the road. Nice life I suppose.
9:14
It is about 10.30 in the morning. Not
9:17
much to report. Feel
9:20
a bit like a bird watcher. Not
9:22
a tit in sight. Apart from me of course. Sat
9:24
in a bush. Now
9:26
I... Oh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh. Why am I shushing
9:29
you? Hold on, hold on. We've
9:31
got biking action. It's
9:35
a guy. It's not
9:37
violent and I have literally no idea where
9:39
he came from. Okay,
9:43
this is insane. He's
9:45
hiding in the bush too. What
9:48
the hell? He's on the other side of the road and he's
9:50
literally hiding in the bush. I don't know what to
9:52
do. I don't know if he knows I'm here or... Okay,
9:55
okay, wait, wait, wait. Here comes Violet. Okay,
10:00
she's gone past, and now I expect...
10:04
I'd be blackbeard is gonna... Yeah,
10:06
he's coming out of his bush. He's hedgerow.
10:08
Yeah, he's getting on his bike. I
10:11
can't see his face, I can't... Just
10:13
the beard. Erm...
10:17
Damn it, he's gone past me, he's stopped. Ah,
10:20
ah, it's because she's stopped. Jesus, this
10:22
guy is... A
10:25
psycho... Oh, god, Violet is cycling towards him.
10:29
What do you want? What
10:31
do you want? What are
10:33
you doing, Violet? Hey, you!
10:35
The old guy is cycling away from there. I'm talking
10:37
to you! He's gone through the hedge. Stay away from
10:39
me! You're a freak! Yeah,
10:41
he's gone. He's gone. Rubbish.
10:47
That's absolutely rubbish.
10:49
Sorry? What? Your
10:52
hiding place is extremely faulty. Oh,
10:54
I don't think so, mate. I saw the whole
10:56
thing. You saw everything we already know, because you
10:58
positioned yourself on the opposite side to the cyclist.
11:01
If you had been on the other side of the road,
11:03
you would have seen his route through the hedgerow and where
11:05
he's hiding. You would have had a better look at the
11:07
man. Big black beard. And he
11:09
was bending over the handlebars to hide his
11:11
face. It doesn't help. Well, yes it does.
11:13
It doesn't. We know he's hiding his face
11:15
from her because he's keeping his distance. So
11:17
we know that they are acquainted outside of
11:20
the online activities. You think it's someone
11:22
she knows? I know it's someone she knows. Concealment, Watson.
11:24
Why else do it? Goodness
11:27
sake. You're acting like I
11:29
achieved nothing. Think, mate. I
11:32
saw his escape route through the hedgerow. She lost
11:34
sight of him. I couldn't find him afterwards either.
11:37
In the wide open fields, he found an escape.
11:39
He knows the area. What have we gained by
11:41
your expedition? The knowledge that
11:43
the girl's story is true? I never doubted it.
11:45
That there is a connection between the cyclist and the
11:48
surroundings. I never doubted that either.
11:51
That he had a big black beard? It's
11:53
not helpful. What
11:57
are you doing? Not talking to you.
12:00
Why? Cos. Cos?
12:02
Yeah, cos. What
12:05
is this? What are you
12:07
doing? This, great detective, is called
12:09
the cold shoulder. Watson. Nope.
12:12
Would you like a high five? I would not
12:14
like a bloody high five. But,
12:17
I'm just pointing out that... You're pointing out that
12:19
you're a genius and I'm an idiot. That is
12:21
not accurate. No, no, no, no, no, mate, you
12:23
think that you are some mastermind and you've been
12:26
lumbered with some ex-army brawny lad... Brawny? Nobody
12:28
thinks you're brawny. Lad that isn't smart enough
12:30
to work on these cases. Well, let me
12:32
tell you. I... Oh bollocks, I've left a
12:34
bike in Charlington. Oh god, they're £2 an
12:37
hour. Jesus. Mariana!
12:39
Mar-Mariana, can you call the credit card provider,
12:41
please? I know. Thank you. Mariana.
12:53

13:56
right. So the victim, Violet Carruthers,
13:59
is going to... to marry Zach Woodley. Now
14:02
they usually live together. She however moved back in
14:04
with her dad and brother after her drink was
14:06
spiked at the local pub and threats
14:08
to her life became more severe. Why
14:11
are there threats to her life? I
14:13
hear you ask Archie. Well because she
14:15
is closing down her OnlyFans account where
14:17
she strips and stuff
14:19
to Pevert as they say in
14:21
wanky Silicon Valley start-ups towards her
14:24
passion of mountain biking and
14:26
of course the hope of having children as her and
14:28
Zach have been trying for quite some time. Now
14:31
the solitary cyclist, Jesus Christ,
14:33
sorry remind me again how
14:35
this is necessary. He said
14:37
something about Netflix or I don't
14:40
know. John can we- I'm not
14:43
doing it because Netflix do it. I'm
14:45
doing it because it, you know this
14:47
is what people do. They tie red
14:49
string to various things on a cork,
14:51
ow gee bollocks, bollocks,
14:54
bollocks, bollocks. You stab yourself with a pen.
14:56
For sake. Have we finished playing this
14:58
game now? Game for goodness sake. Have
15:00
you read the messages she gets? It's
15:02
not a game. Why are you taking
15:04
this whole thing so seriously? Why are
15:06
you taking it so un-seriously? Because my
15:08
helping of violet is merely a plaster
15:10
over a deeply infected wound. Here.
15:13
What's that? It's a plaster for your
15:15
finger. Ah great thanks Thomas the Tank
15:18
Engine. If you're going
15:20
to continue your red string and photograph decoration you
15:22
can have the whole pack here. Ah thanks.
15:25
What do you mean? She needs our help. She
15:28
does need our help yes. Whether
15:30
she'll take it fully, that's another
15:32
question. Is that why you seem so
15:35
uninterested? The case has a few
15:37
notable curiosities that keep me interested
15:39
but it is not the investigation
15:41
that frustrates me but the outcome.
15:44
Can't you see it? Oh Marianna could
15:46
you grab my crystal balls just next to
15:48
the laptop? We don't know the outcome. I
15:50
do. We help Violet
15:52
but she continues to be dictated to
15:55
by men which begs the question
15:57
why help at all if she's
15:59
trying to get her going to repeat the behavior,
16:01
continue with the problematic lifestyle, then why
16:03
bother? What, the cam girl stuff? Is
16:06
that problematic? Not really. But
16:09
being with Zach is. We haven't
16:11
even properly spoken to Zach, we don't know
16:13
him. As I said before, he knows
16:16
us. I don't
16:18
think he does, mate. He had a ring
16:20
doorbell. He saw us, opened the door and
16:22
gave us directions to Violet. Why
16:24
would he do that if she was being
16:26
hounded by her fans? Why give away her
16:28
location to two men he doesn't know? Because
16:32
he does know us. You
16:35
introduced us as Dr Watson and Mr
16:37
Holmes. When we left, he
16:39
said it was nice to meet
16:41
you, Sherlock. He
16:43
knows who we are. Right.
16:47
Right. But if you think withholding that is
16:49
the worst of him, then you're definitely not
16:51
paying attention. What do you
16:54
think is going on, Sherlock?
16:56
What's going on with the doxxing and
16:58
the fallout of it? I can't quite
17:00
tell yet. But the relationship
17:02
with Zach Woodley is becoming more and
17:04
more apparent. Violet doesn't
17:06
just pay for their wedding, her engagement
17:08
ring and their honeymoon. She also pays
17:10
for Zach's lifestyle entirely. While
17:13
she spoke to us, her phone notified her
17:15
of a payment made from a bank card.
17:17
It was a retail purchase. I couldn't make
17:19
out what for, but it would mean she
17:21
shares her account with him. He
17:23
ran her fan club for some time. He
17:25
worked on her father's farm for some time.
17:28
But now what? She's given up this
17:30
venture. Has he gone out and got a job?
17:35
We haven't properly spoken to him, Sherlock.
17:37
Again, I feel I
17:39
don't need to. Like her
17:42
dad said, Zach waits on her hand and
17:44
foot. He's a good guide. He doesn't have
17:46
a job, so he makes
17:48
her life as straightforward as possible.
17:50
It's not unusual to
17:52
have a relationship where one person earned
17:55
more than the other. So she earns
17:57
more than him. Big deal. Is
18:00
it because she's a woman? Correction, Mrs.
18:02
Hudson. She earned more
18:04
than him. The business
18:06
venture is no more. For
18:08
now. Shh! What
18:15
is his problem? I think he's
18:17
suggesting that she needs a therapist. Not
18:20
a detective. But, I mean... What,
18:23
so we just do some half-assed investigation
18:25
because she makes poor life decisions? What
18:31
are you writing? Just noting down what
18:33
you said. Oh, for your Netflix word.
18:35
It's a crime investigation board. Because we
18:37
are a serious detective agency, okay? Oh,
18:39
Archie, stop humping her boots, for God's
18:41
sake! Okay, will you chill,
18:44
John? Sorry, sorry. Aw,
18:47
he brought your pen back. Thanks,
18:50
mate. Sorry for shouting, Archie.
18:53
You know, it's just a cheap biro, but thanks.
18:59
John, don't worry. It'll come. It
19:01
always does. Yeah, but what if it doesn't?
19:04
It will. Sure. John.
19:10
What time is the wedding? Er,
19:12
what time is it now? Two. Yeah, it'll
19:14
be around now. Ceremony, anyway. So...
19:16
yeah, she's married him. Yeah.
19:22
Do you think he's right? Sherlock? No,
19:26
he usually is. Not always about
19:28
relationships and dynamics
19:30
between people, though. He
19:33
can have a bit of a blind spot there. But if
19:35
he can see what he says he sees... She
19:39
could be really stuck. Yeah. I
19:43
suppose. What do you
19:45
see? Erm... She's
19:49
unsure. About
19:51
everything. Well,
19:53
apart from mountain biking,
19:56
apparently, and being a mother. And
19:59
sack Woodley. I guess
20:01
she is. She's marrying him. Has
20:04
just a second married him, I
20:06
should say. He sounds nice. Especially
20:09
if he waits on her hand
20:12
and feet. Is
20:14
that the expression? Yeah, yeah.
20:16
Hand and foot. Just
20:19
means, yeah, making her
20:21
food, doing laundry, bringing her snacks
20:23
and drinks or whatever. What?
20:28
The toxicology report. It's, um... It's
20:30
on your phone? No, I... I pranked
20:33
it out for the thing.
20:35
The Netflix true ground board? It's not
20:37
a Netflix thing. It's right here, toxicology.
20:39
I have a previous blood test. What
20:41
do you mean, previous? As
20:44
in, before the
20:46
rihypnol night, they'll submit
20:49
multiple copies to compare the chart to show
20:51
her normal levels uh,
20:53
here from four months ago. Oh
20:57
sure. What is it, John? They've been
20:59
trying for a baby. For a
21:01
year, right? That's what she said, what
21:03
I noted down for. She said for a year. Yeah?
21:05
And? Look. I
21:09
don't... I don't really know what any of it... um...
21:13
would progesterone. No.
21:18
The asterisk means it's high. Above
21:20
natural levels. The pill. Why...
21:23
why would she be on the pill if they're trying
21:26
for a baby? She's trying. He's not. John,
21:30
there's no way. No way what?
21:33
He's slipping her the pill every day. I mean, he... it...
21:37
it's not like that... it's
21:40
not that straightforward. Why not? He...
21:43
he'd have to know her menstrual cycle. He'd have to...
21:46
Why wouldn't he? He's engaged to her, he
21:48
lives with her, he manages her... Oh
21:51
God. You're slipping her the bloody pill,
21:53
for God's sake. Okay, okay, okay. Um...
21:56
She gets her blood taken, eh,
21:58
four months ago. So, so what
22:01
are these tests? This middle one is from
22:03
three weeks ago. Yeah, that test there,
22:06
the C with the Rohypnol and those
22:08
others. That was in
22:10
A&E with the date rape.
22:12
There's a third test. Yeah, that's monitoring. That
22:14
was taken like this week. And the
22:16
birth control is gone. She's
22:19
living with her dad and brother. Zach can't get
22:21
to her. Can't give her the pill every day. I
22:24
knew it. I knew the Net... the crime
22:26
investigation board would work. Where's my red string?
22:28
Oh my God. All this time
22:30
she thought she was trying for a baby with this
22:32
guy? What a twat! Sorry,
22:35
but yeah, it's true.
22:37
I hate to say it, but
22:40
secretly feeding your partner birth control would
22:43
mean it's a pretty toxic relationship.
22:46
Which means Sherlock
22:49
is right. Yep. Sherlock
22:51
is right. Okay.
22:56
What are you doing? Oh, waiting reception
22:58
to attend. Okay, but what about this one I'm doing
23:00
next? Oh, yes, I've got a
23:02
hand. Erm... Shh, shh, I can figure it out.
23:05
Oh. Oh. Erm...
23:07
Your bike rental has expired. Please return
23:10
the bike to a pickup point. Oh,
23:12
God's sake. Are
23:16
you still stalking? No. You're
23:19
being quiet. You'd
23:22
usually be talking incessantly to quiet
23:24
carriage. You
23:26
make a podcast documenting our crimes and
23:28
you've chosen a carriage where you can't
23:30
talk. Yes, I know. I'm sorry the
23:32
train is busier than I expected. Oh,
23:34
shh. I
23:37
hope you don't expect me to dance at this
23:39
wedding. Firstly, why would I do that? Secondly, please
23:42
shut up. Can't answer the question
23:44
if I shut up. Fine. Don't. Don't
23:46
answer the question or do shut up.
23:49
Quiet carriage, you know. Yep, yes, I know. Apologies.
23:55
Oh, God. Who's that calling me? You can't answer your
23:57
phone in the quiet carriage. It might be important
23:59
to my... mobile number. It's against the rules
24:01
to answer your phone in the quiet carriage.
24:03
I'm just gonna see who it is. Hello?
24:07
Doc Watson. Speaking? Zach
24:09
Woodley, you all right? Ah, okay. God,
24:12
hi. Shouldn't you be busy at your
24:14
wedding? Can't use your phone here.
24:16
All right, all right. For God's sake, I'll go in
24:18
the toilet. Sorry, Zach, two
24:20
seconds. No worries, mate. Oh,
24:24
God. Oh,
24:27
no, it won't flush. Oh, sake.
24:32
Hey, Zach. Hey, meant
24:34
to call a sooner, but three years have been... Ah!
24:37
You know? Right, yeah. No,
24:39
um... Yeah, I think
24:41
if we could just get, uh... Everything,
24:44
you know, just, um... Just
24:47
tell me your recollections, your understandings of what's
24:49
going on in... Yeah, one
24:51
big info dump. Big fan
24:53
of the show, by the way. Second
24:56
favourite part after Rogan. Ah,
24:58
thanks. Happy to be
25:00
number two. It's gonna be
25:02
weird hearing myself, won't it? Jesus Christ. All
25:04
right, let's dance, all right? But,
25:07
no, yeah, um... Actually, I won't
25:09
hear myself, because we're gonna say
25:12
thanks, but no thanks, sort
25:14
of thing. Didn't mention when I met
25:16
you yesterday that all that stuff, the
25:18
pit stop bank over the cyclist and
25:21
that, it's sorted, so, you know, cyclist
25:24
was the problem, weird, weird behaviour.
25:26
Something didn't smell right, you know what I
25:29
mean? Yeah, I know what you mean. Just
25:31
lingering about. We've been trying to confront him,
25:33
but he keeps coming back like a turd
25:35
that won't flush. Yeah. Yeah.
25:39
I wasn't sure if she was ready, to be honest,
25:41
to suck it all off. She makes a
25:43
ton. A lot comes with it, it's all,
25:45
like a lot of jobs. Just lots and
25:48
lots of shit. Yeah, yeah,
25:50
lots and lots... HE COUGHING Mmm.
25:53
I'm not doing this on purpose, I promise. Do
25:56
you want me? No, nothing,
25:58
just... Aaaah! talking to
26:01
the listeners! Classic
26:03
mate, classic! Alright listeners!
26:06
She's buying the ring isn't she? The
26:08
engagement ring? Yeah!
26:10
Makes the most sense really! She's
26:13
the breadwinner mate! Was? Sorry
26:15
what was that? Was the breadwinner, she
26:17
quit right? Nah, we just had
26:19
a chat this morning. It's sorted
26:21
mate, kosher, tickety fucking boo! Sorry,
26:24
what is sorted? She's
26:26
seen the error of her ways! She's seen
26:28
the error of her ways! I'm pretty
26:30
sure this outburst from her fans! Because there's fans
26:32
at the end of the day! You've got fans,
26:34
you know it is! Yeah,
26:37
but um, you know, they
26:39
don't stalk people, slip things in people's drinks or threaten to
26:41
rape them, Zach. Yeah, yeah! But
26:44
what I'm saying is, this has put her back
26:46
on track! No more
26:48
babies! For
26:50
a bit anyway! Back to being in
26:52
front of the camera! No one is going to spend 50
26:54
quid! No one is
26:57
going to spend 50 quid a month watching some pregnant
26:59
girl are they? Oh, I've got to
27:01
go! Box is getting the shots in! But
27:04
yeah, thanks wee services! But we're
27:06
sorted now! Jobs are
27:09
good then! Oh! Look,
27:12
we've got to go! Goodness
27:14
me Watson! It's toxic
27:16
mate! Toxic! Yes,
27:19
I notice! I told you
27:21
it was a toxic relationship!
27:26
I told you! He's being slipping out
27:28
of pill, right? He's monitoring her
27:30
menstrual cycle! You do realise
27:32
you have told me this? Of course he'd never buy
27:34
a ring! He doesn't want to wear
27:36
it now on camera! Anyway, she's supposed to be some young,
27:40
hot, horny single girl, whatever
27:42
as far as the paying customers are concerned! Good
27:44
boy! Very
27:46
good! Haha, it
27:48
gets better! I knew it!
27:50
The blood test from the night she went to hospital!
27:52
Rahipnol! Yes, date
27:55
rate! Yes, of course! It looks that way!
27:58
But we failed to notice what else registered in the blood! and
28:00
when her stomach was pumped. You may
28:02
have failed to notice, but I didn't.
28:04
But we did, Sherlock, we did. Meffa-Preston.
28:07
We made a mistake and so did
28:10
Zach. Meffa-Preston? He missed a few days.
28:12
She got pregnant, so he spiked her drink.
28:15
The Rahitnol was a cover. And amidst all
28:17
the chaos of the online weirdos hunting her
28:19
down, it was a pretty good cover. He
28:22
was hiding the Meffa-Preston, which
28:24
terminated her pregnancy. High
28:27
bloody five, Watson. Tremendous
28:30
work, your finest yet. We
28:33
must get to Violet and inform her. First
28:35
things first, the Flats, where they live together.
28:37
We've gotta go there, Sherlock. To confront Zach
28:40
Woodley. He's at the wedding. I
28:42
see. Oh,
28:46
God. That's fine. Welcome
28:50
to the Breaking and Entering podcast
28:52
with your host, Jon Watson. We
28:55
are in the flat of Zach
28:57
Woodley and Violet Carruthers. Well, now
29:00
Mrs. Violet Woodley. Mrs. Violet Dickhead, if
29:02
you ask me. Yeah, not
29:05
that she's, I mean, she's not the, he's
29:07
the, you know what I mean. We
29:10
here looking for any
29:12
indication of further wrongdoing.
29:15
Something, well, a
29:17
lot doesn't add up with this guy. What
29:20
are you doing? His laptop, look.
29:24
Ah, yeah, Liverpool fan. Certainly not helping
29:26
himself, is he? Not the desktop background.
29:28
Look at the icons. Lots
29:31
of different instances of web
29:33
browsers. Multiple
29:35
logins? Multiple logins. Why?
29:39
Perhaps Zach Woodley is more
29:41
than just Zach Woodley. In
29:45
what way? Care
29:49
to explain? Shh. Anything
29:52
I can help with? Please, do
29:54
your shout outs or something. No,
29:57
I'm not gonna do shout outs to our fans. actively
30:00
breaking into someone's home. What is going
30:02
on? Bugger. I was wrong
30:04
again. Violet Carruthers was
30:07
not doxed. What do you mean?
30:09
Zach Woodley just made her think she
30:12
was. He created a
30:14
chat group and multiple accounts lambasting
30:16
her, abusing her, threatening her. He
30:19
took the photos of their flat, of her out
30:21
of her house, of her going to the shops.
30:23
It wasn't stalkers. It
30:25
was all him. Hiding
30:28
behind an army of fake accounts,
30:30
he ran her fan club. He
30:32
manipulated the information coming her way,
30:34
which was all bile, vitriol, hate,
30:37
fury. Zach Woodley created
30:39
a world outside of her business, so
30:41
hostile she'd had no choice but to
30:43
return to it. No choice
30:45
but to keep earning the money. Hold.
30:49
That is absolutely bloody mental.
30:53
What is it? The mouse was on
30:56
the left-hand side of the laptop. The
30:59
pictures on the walls. Look.
31:02
His watch is
31:04
on his right
31:07
wrist. He wrote the
31:09
card. What? Why? Sherlock,
31:12
what do you mean? Why would he ask for
31:14
our services? He's the perp. Always
31:17
wanted to say perp. He's not the cyclist.
31:20
The cyclist is not threatening her.
31:24
He's protecting her. Who's
31:27
the cyclist then? Bobby?
31:32
Look, in the nicest possible way, I don't think
31:35
you're invited to the reception lads, and I've got to head
31:37
back in. We just want to talk to
31:39
you. I haven't got time. They're doing speeches, like, right
31:41
now. I can assist you with those cufflinks. And
31:44
that bow tie too. Can't
31:46
do a best man's speech looking like
31:48
that, can we, Bobby? Yeah,
31:51
sure. I'm
31:55
telling you, I didn't send that card. Alright, I
31:57
didn't. We know. Cufflinks sorted.
32:00
Sorted? Bow tie? Sorted?
32:03
Nothing I can do about those marks under
32:05
your ears and around your jaw though. That's
32:09
what you get for wearing a costume shop
32:11
beard on the morning of the wedding. Hey
32:13
Bobby Carruthers. The
32:15
solitary cyclist. Shit.
32:22
Don't tell her please. Dad and
32:24
I, we
32:26
sort of, we take
32:28
it in turns to make sure she's safe. Whenever
32:31
she leaves the house we follow her. Make
32:34
sure there's none of them weirdos about. If
32:37
she goes mountain biking, which is nearly every day
32:39
at the moment, I park
32:42
the tractor nearby and, yeah.
32:46
I follow her. On the bike.
32:49
How do you feel about this?
32:52
What? The wedding? Come
32:55
on, I'm not that guy. If she's happy,
32:57
she's happy. What do you think of him? Zach.
33:00
He's my pal. He's
33:02
one of my best mates. I know the
33:04
worst of him. Yeah, sure. Bit of a sprout, you
33:06
know. But he's lovely
33:08
to her and good for her. Mates
33:11
on a hand and foot. Once for nothing, that
33:13
girl. Can you say scrounger?
33:17
Look, I'm not an overbearing brother about this sort
33:19
of bollocks. I'm just protecting her from the
33:21
psychos. Not some
33:24
lazy boyfriend. Fiance, sorry. Husband.
33:26
Right. Husband, yeah. I
33:29
don't care if he's lazy or likes a drink. Half
33:32
the time I'm in the pub with him anyway. Who
33:34
she dates, don't care. Do not
33:36
care. That's not me. What
33:41
she went through. They're
33:43
saying they'll do to her. There is
33:45
no them, Bobby. What
33:48
are you on about? I've seen
33:50
it, mate. I've seen the
33:52
chats in the comments. They're accounts that
33:54
Zach Woodley has created. You're
33:58
wrong. My
34:01
dad and I have got a speech to make,
34:03
so... yeah. I
34:05
have been wrong for this investigation and
34:08
for that I apologise, but I have
34:10
not wrong about this. Bobby, I
34:13
mean, it's important that
34:15
you keep calm and
34:17
trust that we, the
34:20
authorities, will handle this. But Zach
34:22
Woodley has created this whole
34:24
thing. He wants to
34:26
keep the money coming in. He doesn't want her to
34:28
be pregnant and he certainly doesn't want
34:30
her to shut it down. He's been drugging her
34:32
with birth control. When he missed a
34:34
couple of days, he spiked her drink with a drug that...
34:38
terminated her pregnancy. Bob,
34:40
Bobby, Bobby, wait! Bobby! Bobby! The gun! He's
34:43
treating the gun! Bobby, just wait! Wait! For
34:45
God's sake, why has he got a gun
34:47
in his car? Because he's a father. Farmers
34:50
have got it so much blood! Jack!
34:54
Bobby, please! Stop! I
35:00
just see each day where I look
35:02
at you see old friends, new friends.
35:05
Family at everyone. It's
35:08
amazing for us. Amazing
35:10
that you've come all this way
35:12
to the beautiful Charlington House. Not
35:15
as beautiful as my bride, of course. Who?
35:20
One day, I promise we'll
35:23
have a diamond drink. Just as
35:25
bloody beautiful. I promise. Ah,
35:28
there we go. The
35:30
best man has finally graced us with his
35:32
present. Bobby! Bobby,
35:34
just stop! Better late than never.
35:38
Who knows? I might regret saying that. Haven't
35:40
heard his speech yet. You bastard! He's
35:45
not pulling his punches. You
35:47
fucking bastard! What? She
35:51
was pregnant with your kid! Jesus.
35:53
Not denying it then. You
35:56
are sick, mate. Sick. Bobby, what
35:59
are you doing? I wanna do the videos no
36:01
more mate, and you're pushing her back
36:03
into it. Making up stalkers
36:05
and predators. He made it all up,
36:07
Violet. He made it all up, what?
36:10
Oh Bobby, how many have you had mate? This
36:13
is pathetic. Your pathetic won't
36:16
even fire a bloody ring for God's sake. What
36:18
is it then, eh, Bobs? Am I not rich
36:21
enough, or am I some date raper?
36:23
Which one? Getting
36:25
mixed signals here, lad. Your blood results,
36:27
Violet. He had you on
36:30
birth control. Slipping into
36:32
your food. Shut up. Yes. No.
36:34
Shut up, mate. He's controlling you and you don't even
36:36
realise it. Enough! Shut up! Shut
36:39
up! Right,
36:44
enough out of you. Round
36:47
of applause for the best man. Sorry,
36:50
the worst man. The
36:52
worst fucking man on the planet. Violet, get
36:55
away from him. Oh shut up. Get away
36:57
from him now. Violet, come over
36:59
here. What do you mean, come over here? What
37:02
gives you the right to- She's my
37:04
sister. She's my wife. No. She's
37:07
your widow. Bobby. Oh,
37:12
stop me. Let go, let go.
37:14
No, Bobby. Watson, can
37:16
you back now? Excuse
37:19
me, out of the way. I'm a bloody
37:21
doctor. Move. It's
37:24
a big drunk idiot. Oh, there's blood everywhere.
37:28
Jesus Christ. What? Out
37:30
of the way. Violet, out. Let go of him,
37:32
please. Let me see him. Zach,
37:36
Zach, I'm just gonna hold your head up
37:38
and- Why are you breathing like that? His
37:40
lung has collapsed. His lung-
37:42
Viral, viral. Got it. Oh,
37:45
thank you, Archie, you fat bastard. Sorry,
37:48
Zach. Oh my God. What
37:50
are you doing? Letting air out of
37:52
his chest cavity. He's
37:55
twitching. Zach, baby, what have
37:57
you done to him? What
37:59
are you- Shut up, shut up, please, come
38:01
on, Zach, come on. Okay,
38:04
okay, feeling more even now. Feeling
38:06
more, that's it. There we go,
38:09
right. Okay, now for some
38:11
more weird shifts. What the hell
38:13
are you doing? What the hell? This
38:15
is my lucky condom. Finally gonna use
38:17
it. I hope for Zach's sake
38:19
it's very, very, very lucky. Where
38:22
was I? I'm just gonna feel his wound
38:24
with it. Sherlock, the plasters, the Thomas the
38:26
Tank Engine. Oh wait, no, I've got them.
38:31
Why are you always up for that?
38:33
I'm running, I'm running. I'm running, I'm
38:35
running. Motherfucker, come on.
38:38
Motherfucker. Motherfucker. So
38:42
the condom and the Thomas the
38:45
Tank Engine plasters. They're mine. The
38:48
plasters, not the condom. Right, and
38:50
you sealed the wound with it. I'm a
38:52
doctor. The bullet caused
38:54
a sucking wound. It was pulling air into
38:57
the chest cavity. That pressure collapsed his lung. I
39:00
got air back into his lung. With the biro?
39:02
Yes, the biro, just between the ribs and the
39:04
condom. Sorry,
39:06
sealed the wound from pulling air into
39:08
his chest. Correct. Yeah.
39:11
Right, well, we'll obviously
39:14
be in touch regarding the
39:16
case, but bloody well done,
39:18
gents. Cheers. Thank you.
39:21
Thanks. I
39:26
should have corrected him. Why? Why? Did
39:29
they have wrong information from us? He thanked us both. He
39:32
should be thanking just you. Don't be
39:34
daft. Well done, Watson.
39:36
Really, well done. I'm
39:39
sorry I wasn't much use. You were loads of
39:41
use. What are you talking about? You know what
39:43
I'm talking about. High five.
39:46
High five and a hug? We
39:51
best hurry. We'll miss the last train
39:53
to Waterloo. Ah, Christ, you're right. Well,
39:58
thanks for listening, everyone. It was a berserk. our
40:00
start, a weird middle and
40:02
a completely bonkers ending but we got there in the
40:04
end. The adventure solitary
40:07
cyclist. Oh god the rental bike.
40:10
Get over here you big old nutty. Oh thanks a lot,
40:12
thank you. Well
40:21
folks I hope you enjoyed that adventure.
40:24
Zach Woodley thought he could use us
40:26
to identify the solitary cyclist because
40:28
it was the one thing he couldn't
40:31
control. Well boy did he underestimate little
40:33
old John Watson and Sherlock
40:35
Holmes. Well that backfired for him didn't it.
40:38
Yeah that'd be a lesson. If you come at
40:40
the King's you better not miss. Oh you knob.
40:44
Oh bloody hell. That's
40:46
these jeans ruined now. Hey
40:50
21 miles to
40:53
London baby. Everybody.
