2:57
for a four letter word sake.
3:02
Seen the email yesterday mm-hmm and
3:06
we don't think it's
3:08
worthy of an investigation. The investigation was correct
3:10
as far as I can see the
3:12
victim's mother not accepting that is lamentable
3:15
yes but doesn't stop it
3:17
from being true. Ooh lament 13. Excuse
3:19
me. What? That's cheating. No it's not.
3:21
It is. I put letters on the
3:24
board and I add up the points
3:26
that's not cheating. You stole the word
3:28
from me. Oh you invented the word
3:31
lament did you? Bastard. Hey boy

7:58
sake. Is everything alright? Smoke? Lovely
8:02
to see you. What? What Am I wearing?
8:04
A foothold shot that's too small. Voyager? I
8:06
got it when I was twenty nine, but
8:08
that? that's not. Where did I tell you
8:11
I was going this morning out yet? Yes,
8:13
Yeah, there was more to it than that.
8:15
No, wasn't that. Who. This
8:17
is a real head scratcher. Watson
8:19
I do like a mystery. Oh.
8:22
I was going to watch the football.
8:24
Yes, I spent eighty four quid on
8:26
a ticket to Mansfield. Have been forty
8:28
quid on a seat in the way
8:30
and and now the train has gone.
8:32
I will make the game and I'm
8:35
staring at a Dead Rats in Kensington
8:37
Gardens. Actually, it's Princess Diana's Memorial garden
8:39
with Mr at a memorial Garden says
8:41
interest as he seems to be of
8:43
similar importance. Why didn't you go to
8:45
the football? You told me to come
8:47
here. It is convenient for inconvenient. Well,
8:50
this is terribly inconvenient for you. Isn't
8:52
it? Ah, okay right. Yep and next
8:54
time maybe as if you could specify
8:56
that is the is terribly inconvenient for
8:59
me so I don't need to actually
9:01
attend the rats. The Rural this is
9:03
New Funeral was. This is an investigation.
9:09
Just am just as account
9:11
point in us despite Devil's
9:13
advocate here. let's not, Let's
9:15
just not our victim. Let's
9:18
call him. Receive killed
9:20
almost a most peculiar
9:23
appearance an albino raft.
9:26
Unique. One of the
9:28
kind. And now they're more. the
9:31
events was the it's two thousand and
9:33
twenty four no one needs to be
9:35
saying says he scuffles out from the
9:37
headroom the north side so most likely
9:39
come from palace green room mostly embassies
9:41
house we the diplomat is he said
9:43
to the rear of the properties approve
9:46
daughter's tariffs why the rear of nearest
9:48
course he doesn't want to draw attention
9:50
to himself but more importantly he wants
9:52
access to refuse disposal it's tuesday palace
9:54
gardens terrorists have there been collected this
9:56
morning so it's most likely that rescue
9:58
was making his way the waste when
10:00
he was accosted. Mugg'd. Poor guy.
10:03
Wondered why I didn't see a wallet or phone on him? He darfs. Across
10:06
the road and into the hedgerow here he
10:08
scuffles out and makes his way across the
10:10
paving slabs as the assailant tracks him. Here,
10:13
look, the impression's on the moose. A
10:15
cad. Rat-Fue unknowingly heads towards
10:17
the memorial fountain, finding himself teetering on
10:20
the precipice here. He pivots away from
10:22
the water's edge, scurries back towards the
10:24
shrubbery, and in there
10:26
he hides. Way during that
10:28
he can conceal himself and escape the
10:31
tyranny he cannot rent. He
10:33
must hide. The cat feigns disinterest and withdraws
10:35
to the hedgerow. Also Rat-Fue
10:37
believes. He exits his shrub
10:39
and is stunned by a paw crashing into
10:42
his back, forcing him down into the slabs
10:44
with all five kilograms of his foe pushing
10:46
down on him. They both know if Rat-Fue
10:48
can turn around and bite his aggressor the
10:50
attack would be called off. But
10:52
there's no time. Two feline
10:54
incisors plunge into his spinal
10:57
column here and here, puncturing
10:59
vital vessels breaking his neck,
11:02
severing the spine. It's
11:04
over. Hmm, there's another train at
11:06
120. Yeah,
11:09
I mean, I'd miss Kehl. Wouldn't be there until
11:11
like 25 minutes in.
11:14
Ah, bollocks. It's
11:16
probably not worth it. I mean, that's even if the
11:19
train runs perfectly, which it won't. Yeah.
11:23
So what were you saying? Come with me, Watson. Follow.
11:26
Yeah. Yeah.
11:28
Yeah, I love the fact they call it a fast train. But
11:31
I've still got a change at Stoke and Nottingham. You
11:33
know, I'm the one running through the stations. Yeah, I
11:35
decide if it's bloody fast or not. This way. The
11:38
street will be over here, I bet. I mean, I'm not
11:40
saying we would have won today. Yeah. But
11:43
I didn't see us getting beat. You know, injuries
11:45
have cleared up. Form isn't god-awful like it was
11:47
at the start of the season. And there, Watson.
11:51
There he is. Look at him
11:53
staring down at us from his
11:56
grand Georgian townhouse. Get
11:58
down here and atone. your sin
12:00
you feline bastard. Licking
12:03
his paws like they aren't dripping with
12:05
the blood of the innocent.
12:07
Oh don't we? Where
12:09
are we? Palace garden terrace.
12:12
Why? Because we're confronting the
12:14
white rat killer. Up there. Good
12:16
eventche tight lay Watson. Up where?
12:19
Sorry? There. Top floor
12:21
window. The cat?
12:24
We shall wait. In the park. And
12:27
it is us, Watson, who shall
12:29
pounce. No, we won't do
12:31
that. We won't do any of that. We're
12:33
going to go for lunch. Perhaps we should
12:35
picnic in the memorial gardens. Right, okay. Two
12:37
things. First, people don't really like it
12:39
when you stuff your face next to memorials of the deceased.
12:42
Second, I'm not going to eat my lunch next to
12:44
a dead rat. Can
12:49
we stop talking about it? I'm making a point.
12:52
Yeah, you're always making a point. When are you
12:54
not making a point? Most of
12:56
the meals you have consumed in London would be
12:58
within reasonably close distance to a dead rat. Yeah,
13:00
okay, okay, yeah, I get it. I get it.
13:02
I just don't want to look at... Raffu. Raffu.
13:05
God rest him while I eat.
13:13
What are you thinking? Before you start, I'm
13:16
asking about the food. What are you
13:18
thinking? I rather like the look
13:20
of a cannon jeep. Oof,
13:23
a bit pricey. Ooh, yay,
13:25
new patron. Well, there you
13:27
go. Cannon jeep it is. They're
13:30
not paying for you to eat prawn
13:32
dumplings. Hello, can I get you any
13:34
drinks or anything to start? Yes, a
13:36
drink, yes, definitely. He says,
13:39
not having looked at the drinks
13:41
menu. Er, singer, this guy, please.
13:44
Large or medium? Well,
13:46
my day is ruined, so I'll
13:48
go large. And you served? What
13:50
do you do? Oh my God. He
13:52
just mowed. He bowed to the
13:54
Thai waiter. Yes, hello. I
13:58
would like the... The
14:00
Cola. And Can
14:02
M G thank you. I'll be
14:04
that would you do? You.
14:08
What? You bowed as so
14:11
did he. Don't bow one
14:13
of. It's
14:15
very nice that you didn't Okay,
14:17
it's It's very considerate that he
14:20
can come across as a little
14:22
insincere era to the people who
14:24
maybe don't know how it just
14:26
can hit us. You know, I
14:29
didn't have it is this is to crappy thing about
14:32
cultural. And in imbalances
14:34
homes their cultural and bolland. so I
14:36
don't make the rules that I barely.
14:38
Understand them but just know that
14:40
what I'm saying is accurate and
14:43
I wish the world work that
14:45
way but I'm not entirely sure
14:47
it does. The world is cruel
14:49
death at times in some places
14:52
more than others who do you
14:54
think is owners? sorry the cat
14:56
I have no I do via
14:58
time seen on a Coca Cola
15:00
team is on it's way have
15:03
to decide it on your me
15:05
and said couple more minutes is
15:07
okay sorry no problem. He
15:11
seemed emaciated. That fucker said to
15:13
me, not him. The cat still
15:15
on the cap though he is.
15:18
He seems emaciated. Why didn't he
15:20
just eat rescue. Multiple reasons domestic
15:22
cats wouldn't attempt on a cleaner
15:24
creature that load a rat. The
15:27
cat will be aware of the
15:29
parasites. Yep, got. yep, yep, yep.
15:31
that's yourself. the parasites and racked
15:34
up chats and out. Curtains closed
15:36
and closed for some time. bleached.
15:38
By the summer sun so close
15:40
to them. I'm. okay
15:45
i'll bite the bart get i
15:47
will have a nibble on this
15:49
little morsel of think you are
15:51
offering please do you're telling me
15:54
one of those houses of kensington
15:56
gardens had a cat in the
15:58
window can't look ruff emaciated.
16:00
Right, yes. So, malnourished
16:03
and what? The curtains hadn't been
16:05
opened for months? Correct. Was it
16:07
a residence? You know, it could
16:10
be an embassy or offices or
16:12
government. Residence. Weird. A
16:14
much used bike was locked outside.
16:16
It wasn't sheltered during the severe winter
16:18
weather. The lock was rusted. So,
16:21
bike suddenly stopped being used. There was
16:23
a car, a tesla, flat tyre, nearside
16:25
front. I don't know what that means
16:28
when people say that. Is that passenger
16:30
side or driver side? Passenger.
16:32
Gotcha. So, car, you'd say
16:35
neglected as well? I would indeed say
16:38
that. Obvious signs of
16:40
neglect. But, as our
16:42
friend Raffiou pointed out, bins
16:44
still being filled and
16:46
collected. Very weird. Very
16:49
weird. Who do we think lives there?
16:51
Socially progressive. Eulogically sensitive.
16:53
Electric car? Check. Bike?
16:56
Check. An aptitude for
16:58
innovation. Outgoing. Likes or
17:00
liked to host? Expand on that.
17:03
Here. Google street view
17:05
of the property. Yeah. The imagery
17:07
is assembled from a number of
17:09
photos collected. If I move here.
17:11
Ooh. And in the driveway.
17:14
Blood out. License plate is. But
17:16
the company logo is not. Aqua
17:19
Cadabra. So, aquarium
17:22
supplies? I think that says. Yep.
17:24
We look them up. Fairly small
17:26
firm. Not a particularly large team. Not
17:29
based in London either. So, why are they
17:31
here in their van? Well, if
17:33
you take the owner of the company here,
17:36
Phil Grant. What? Phil and
17:38
Grant from East End, the
17:40
Mitchell, it doesn't matter. Pop that into
17:43
any search engine. Phil Grant CEO, Aqua
17:45
Cadabra. Here's his LinkedIn.
17:49
Blah blah. And here
17:51
we go. Oh, that's the house. Could
17:55
not be more proud of the
17:57
team following our first freshwater pool
17:59
installation. The phosphate filter,
18:01
low-salt hydrolysis pump and check valves
18:04
assembled off-site due to their sheer size and
18:06
complexity fitted today. You get the idea. I
18:10
mean, sort of. It's
18:12
a natural pool, Watson. Subterranean, I'd say.
18:15
Google satellite images show a hefty
18:17
structural glass unit extension. Into
18:19
the back garden. Problem with glass
18:22
extensions, of course. Heat?
18:25
Well, yes. The other problem
18:27
is we can see inside. Large
18:29
dining table, multiple seating pods outside,
18:31
along with fire pit bar and
18:34
various lounging areas. So,
18:37
we have a paradox. Somebody
18:41
lives there, still accumulating rubbish,
18:43
food waste, recycling. But
18:45
it also seems abandoned. Bike neglected, expensive
18:47
car left on the drive, curtains never
18:50
opened, cat not being fed. Sociable
18:53
and outgoing, big fancy communal
18:55
area, but equally reclusive
18:58
and sheltered. Yes, quite
19:00
intriguing. We
19:03
could pull on this thread a little more, Watson.
19:06
Or you could go off to your football
19:08
match. Up to you,
19:10
I suppose. Well, as we've established, I can't
19:12
go off to the football match, actually. An
19:19
intriguing adventure within our
19:21
grasp. Are
19:23
we ready, gentlemen? Yes, Watson.
19:26
Are we ready? Oh, we're ready.
19:31
Bring it on. Bang!
19:33
Ad break. Sorry, yeah,
19:35
I just wanted to say that for a dramatic bit
19:37
before the adverts. It'll be like, bring it on, then,
19:39
bosh, piano, violins, you know. Great
19:42
stuff, because this is how you produce high
19:44
quality audio drama, mate. Just order. Er, yeah,
19:46
yeah. Could I get the
19:48
King Prawn... I
20:00
can't do the minty shower wash anymore
20:02
mate. Christly
20:05
crotch feels radioactive. What is this?
20:09
Football scores. Get
20:11
it off. It's
20:14
captivating. What's happening now? There's
20:17
been a goal at Hulker Street Stadium in Barrow. What
20:20
happens if there's a goal at Hulker Street Stadium in
20:22
Barrow? We go to a bloke
20:24
freezing his arse off in Cumbria and he'll tell us
20:26
if Barrow has scored or if Colchester has scored. It's
20:29
a goal for Barrow. There you go.
20:33
Are we pleased with that? A
20:35
goal for Barrow. Not
20:37
bothered really. But if they win they go above
20:39
MK Don. Is that good? Oh
20:41
yes, very very good. Sorry
20:44
I'm just... I
20:46
was watching that. Sorry,
20:48
I just kind of remind myself in the
20:50
shower. It was 9 Palace Garden Terrace. Correct.
20:53
Right, and what do we say again? Cat,
20:56
curtains, car, bike. Oh God,
20:59
sorry. Let me just adjust the towel.
21:01
Ah, for sake. Your microphone is flashing.
21:04
Ah, right. Yeah, that'll be battery. Er, I've
21:06
got new ones. Do you know what? I'm
21:09
gonna go get dressed. What's
21:13
an acceptable length of time to wear jeans for before
21:15
washing them, do you reckon? I can easily go a
21:17
week, you know. You're disgusting. Yeah,
21:20
yep, yep. It's
21:22
not like I'm saying underwear and socks here. Ah, Jesus! Ah,
21:27
Jesus fucking Christ! What
21:30
are you doing? There is someone
21:32
in my bed. Did you bring someone home with you
21:34
last night? Maybe you forgot. Maybe
21:36
I forgot. I'm
21:39
not LL Cool J Sherlock, I would remember.
21:41
It would be a pretty bloody
21:43
seismic event in my life, to be
21:45
honest. Christ, they're getting out. Not a
21:48
volume for a little guy. Are you finishing the shower, John? Wiggins! What
21:52
the fuck? What are you doing? I
21:55
have an app. Good
21:58
God. What is it? Turn
22:00
that off. Wiggins, I... You
22:03
can't just sleep in my bed. I've just washed those
22:05
sheets. What are you getting at, Watson? No,
22:08
I... Is it because I sleep on the street, Chan? Is that
22:10
it? No, no, no, no. Absolutely not. That's not what I was
22:12
saying at all. So you don't mind? No. No.
22:16
Not one bit. It's nice to sleep in a bed after
22:18
a bus shelter, you know. Yeah,
22:20
I bet. Yeah, yeah. You are welcome. Matey, mate.
22:23
And it's a chance to wash the smell of drunk. Piss
22:25
off myself as well. Of course, yeah. No. Let me
22:27
just grab those bedsheets, actually. Gonna put a wash on.
22:29
Anyone need anything in the drum? These and these, please,
22:31
John Boy. Oh,
22:35
lovely. Yep. Kelvin Klein. Yeah, you
22:37
don't see them around much, do you? Must be his
22:39
brother. Oh, and the... And
22:42
the socks. Yeah, lovely. Just
22:45
gonna pop these in there. You're
22:51
using far too much detergent. Believe me, I am not using
22:53
enough. And
22:55
great. You're naked. Right. Do
22:57
you want to jump in the shower, please, Wiggins? Wiggy?
23:00
You's wanted an awesome shoot, didn't you? We
23:02
wish to know about Nine Palace Garden Terrace by
23:04
Kensington Gardens. Ha ha.
23:06
We bet you do. How about we
23:08
hear about it when you've got some clothes on?
23:11
You're going down a rabbit hole now, boys. Force
23:14
things forced. The
23:16
house belongs to Professor Arson
23:22
Presbury. Really? Yeah. The
23:25
self-help guru. Self-help? Yeah,
23:28
certainly good at helping himself to allow the
23:30
cash, that's for sure. He's everything, everywhere, all
23:32
the time. Lectures and Imperial,
23:34
motivational speeches, theatre
23:36
shows, TED Talks. Tell you
23:38
what, I've only heard 10% of his YouTube downloads. You
23:41
could afford new jeans. Right, OK,
23:43
that was a private conversation between me and Sherlock.
23:45
So Professor Presbury lives at the house. Then
23:48
why is it falling into neglect? He's rather
23:50
elderly, is he not? Doesn't look it.
23:53
Look at he's 76. Looks
23:55
far to six houses. half
24:00
the time. But that's
24:02
not the mystery. What's the
24:04
mystery? Well we spend a bit of
24:06
time around Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens,
24:08
especially after dark. Presbury's cat
24:11
can be seen lurking around there from time
24:13
to time. He likes it
24:15
in the memorial garden. Yeah, yeah we witnessed some
24:17
of his handiwork. Charlotte wants to lock him up
24:19
for a life sentence. Or
24:21
nine. Nine? Life
24:24
sentence? Because, yeah, ok carry on. We'd
24:26
feed him once in a while. Laggedy
24:28
little skin and bone tings toward him. One
24:32
night in November I'm sat there in the memorial garden with
24:34
a couple of buddies of mine. We're
24:37
chatting sheets, stargazing or whatever. One
24:40
of the kids with those sort of sutters, I think he was, goes
24:43
all quiet like. We try to
24:45
get some size out of him. Poor lad. He's been
24:47
in care his whole life. And now he's
24:49
got himself out and onto the street. He goes
24:51
green lads I tell ya. Every
24:53
other corner slides off his face. I
24:56
ask him what's up and he says he's
24:58
hallucinating or some nonsense. Maybe
25:00
he's taking something, maybe the cold's getting to him.
25:02
Who knows, right? A couple
25:05
of the fellas keep on chatting. Anyways,
25:08
I followed the eyes of this kid. See
25:10
what he's staring at like? And
25:12
I see. I look
25:14
up to the top floor of
25:17
your house, right? Number nine. Palace
25:20
garden terrace. What?
25:23
What did you see? The
25:25
creeping man. This
25:29
is so stupid. This
25:33
is how I roll, buddy. You don't
25:35
like a stakeout, then you're bouncing with the
25:37
wrong partner, Capiche. Stop talking like that. What
25:40
are you doing? Your idiot podcaster
25:42
has hired a car to do
25:44
a... what's it called? It's called
25:47
a stakeout. This is what detectives do, mate.
25:50
He's spent £300 on some
25:52
puny smart car to... Wait, gimme
25:55
that. Don't tell them it's a
25:57
smart car. This is cool.
25:59
Bloody... Noire stuff, yes, staking out
26:01
the house, in a car, got my
26:03
black coffee... Hm! Mmm!
26:07
Shit, that's hot! Ugh, my lip!
26:09
Owie, owie, owie, owie, owie, owie, owie, owie! This
26:11
is a waste of time... Oh, why did they
26:13
make it that hot!? Why didn't you just get
26:16
the hot chocolate like you wanted?! Will you shut...
26:18
Stop ruining it, mate! Ruining what? I'm a listener,
26:20
right? Yeah, I'm hearing my two favourite detectives staking
26:22
out the joint... What? Shh shh
26:24
shh, they're drinking black coffee, they're night owls,
26:27
you know, they're, they're stalking inconspicuously in the
26:29
Dark London strip, and then you go, oh,
26:31
they're in a smart car, and he wanted hot chocolate,
26:33
cause black coffee gives him a bad tummy, stomach! I
26:36
never mentioned the bow thing. Just, please, can we
26:38
return to the stakeout, would that be alright? How
26:44
do I part of this thing, pay by the phone, it's like
26:46
nine hours! There's a blister on
26:48
your lip. Yeah, it's really sore, really,
26:51
really sore. What
26:53
else happens in a stake out? We...
26:55
it... uh, well... nothing.
27:00
Nothing until we see something? Nothing.
27:03
Yeah, yeah, it's about being patient and
27:05
not losing focus, it's about diligence, yeah?
27:08
Ask yourself what you need in life. Not
27:11
what you want. What you need. Because
27:15
it won't be what society tells us.
27:18
It won't be a car, a house.
27:21
It won't even be more followers. It
27:26
will all be driven by our
27:28
inner human. Our inner
27:30
primates. And as
27:32
soon as you can tune into
27:34
that frequency, and cut out the
27:36
description. As you
27:38
can return... Oh, never offside, no. Oh.
27:41
A colleague of mine once put in... Oh,
27:43
hey, I... You can build out your brain. Your
27:46
mind. Oh. How
27:49
long was I out? How long was I
27:51
out? That... yeah, I... uh...
27:55
What time is it? Nine... Twenty-six.
27:57
Nine. What
28:00
are you watching? Live stream of
28:03
our friend Professor Presbury. I wish
28:06
I was friends with awesome Presbury Blimey. Why
28:08
is that? Well, I
28:10
could find out his secret. What secret does
28:13
he have? Oh come
28:15
on. 76 years old that guy, look at him. He
28:18
looks like Brad Pitt's sexy uncle. But
28:20
plus, he can fundamentally rewire people's brains,
28:22
did you know that? How so? Did
28:25
you see him on this morning with that deaf
28:27
Nazi? Did I see him on this morning with
28:29
that deaf Nazi? Have
28:32
you heard yourself? Honestly mate, this Nazi,
28:34
on this morning, deaf as a post,
28:36
awesome Presbury literally talks to him for
28:38
like, I don't know, two minutes. He
28:40
talks to the deaf man? Yeah,
28:42
because subconsciously parts of his brain can hear,
28:44
they reckon. I'm calling the general medical council
28:47
to get you struck off. Look, he talks
28:49
to him on this morning, holding his hand
28:51
the whole time, doing these little hypnotic
28:53
taps on his wrist. Guess what? What?
28:56
Bloke can hear again. Watson. I'm
28:58
telling you Sherlock, that's what happened. And
29:01
what happened to his political views? Hmm?
29:05
You said he was a Nazi. Well,
29:07
I think he went Lib Dem in the end, rewired
29:09
his brain. And you believe
29:11
all that, do you? I mean,
29:14
look, there's a lot of crap out there in this
29:16
field, yeah? And you know, yes, this morning was a
29:18
bit of a stunt, but he is genuinely amazing. Sorry,
29:22
I know you don't like to hear
29:24
that, but Imperial College Professor, inventor, guru,
29:26
I was going to take his supplements.
29:29
Feed him my inner primate and all that. Sell
29:38
out crowd. Indeed. Where
29:44
is that? Thomas with Apollo. Jesus,
29:47
that looks 3,000, 3 and a half. It's
29:52
quite literally printed into our theater. You tell him
29:54
what, 70 quid a ticket? What's
29:56
that then, if he sells that out? So that's 238. £3,000
30:00
for 3,400 seats. Wow.
30:04
He's there again tomorrow night. I
30:07
would be, if I was collecting that much
30:09
a night. You think, right? He's
30:11
kind of a super brand, really. Stop. What?
30:14
Look. The top
30:16
floor. Wiggins was right.
30:20
Better not be a cat. Oh my...
30:24
Um... Uh,
30:26
that is... That
30:29
is terrifying. So
30:31
the top floor there, the room with the
30:34
closed curtains, the whole floor has lights
30:36
on. Um... In
30:39
the next room, there's,
30:41
uh... a man.
30:45
I think. He's
30:47
shuffling, almost floating.
30:50
Um... Jesus,
30:53
he's exactly like Wiggins said.
30:56
He's skeletal, hunched over, moving,
30:58
um... moving
31:01
like a zombie. I, um... Oh,
31:06
I don't know what else to say. Who
31:10
is that? The Creeping
31:12
Man. To
31:20
