Previously on Sherlock & Co. Hold on, where
0:03
are we? Palace Garden
0:05
Terrace. Why? Because we're confronting the white
0:08
rat killer up there. First
0:10
things first, the house
0:12
belongs to Professor Arson Prez-e-brey. Really?
0:16
Yeah. The
0:19
self-help guru? Self-help? Certainly good at helping himself
0:21
to allow the cash, that's for sure. He's
0:24
everything everywhere all the time. What
0:26
you watching? Live stream
0:28
of our friend Professor Prez-brey.
0:32
I wish I was friends with Orson Prez-brey blindly. Why is
0:34
that? Well,
0:36
I could find out his secret. What secret does
0:38
he have? Oh come on, 76
0:40
years old that guy, look at him. He
0:44
looks like Brad Pitt's sexy uncle. Anyways, I
0:46
followed the eyes of this kid. See
0:51
what he's staring at like? And I
0:53
see, I look up to the top floor
0:55
of your house, right? Number 9, Palace Garden Terrace. What
1:00
did you see? The
1:02
Creeping Man. If
1:26
you are going to try it, try it at home. Because
1:28
that technically wouldn't be breaking an entry. Swearing Ahoy, bye bye.
1:35
That is... That
1:37
is terrifying. So the
1:39
top floor there, the room with the
1:42
closed curtains, the whole floor has lights
1:45
on. In
1:47
the next room, there
1:50
is a man,
1:53
I think. He's
1:56
shuffling, almost floating.
2:01
Jesus, he's exactly like Wiggin
2:04
said. He's skeletal,
2:06
hunched over, moving
2:09
like a zombie. I don't
2:14
know what else to say. Who
2:18
is that? The Creeping
2:21
Man. What's
2:24
he doing? Who's he talking to? That's
2:27
not quite clear. Let's
2:29
go and speak to him. Sorry, no, no,
2:31
no, stop. Close the door. What
2:33
is it? I am not going to converse
2:35
with a spooky figure haunting the top floor
2:37
of Nine Palace Garden Terrace. Why not? Because
2:39
he... Look at him.
2:42
Where's, erm... Where's he gone?
2:47
I can't see him. Oh, fuck!
2:49
Oh, what the hell? Oh my god, oh
2:51
my god, oh my god. Can
2:53
we turn around and get a look at
2:55
him? No, we cannot! Jesus, maybe he really
2:57
flies. Morning
3:17
everyone. Currently
3:20
at, get ready for this, the
3:22
police station. Yeah,
3:24
return the car to the car hire people and
3:26
they tell us the police are seeking the driver
3:28
of the vehicle from last night.
3:31
That's me. So, yeah,
3:33
here we are. Professor Presbury's video
3:35
was a live feed. The
3:39
Orson Presbury show we were watching in the car
3:41
last night. It was a live feed. I paid
3:43
for it to be streamed live. Right,
3:46
okay, what's your point? The Creeping
3:49
Man was in his house when
3:51
Presbury was not. Yeah,
3:53
so... Why
3:55
is an esteemed professor and
3:57
global superstar harbouring at... ...goals?
4:00
Not Gools, Watson. Scraggy
4:02
old man. Hello! Right, this way
4:04
please, Jen. Finally.
4:09
Okay, so, the vehicle in question, you hired it
4:11
for a 24 hour period. Is that correct? Er,
4:14
that is correct, yes. Er, for what purpose? Work.
4:18
And what is it you do, Mr Watson? He's a
4:20
doctor. Understood, okay. Er,
4:22
forgive my ignorance here. Why would
4:24
a doctor need a smart car for 24 hours?
4:27
Sorry, just, erm, quick bio on
4:30
yours truly. Er,
4:32
was a doctor. Er, RMO for Northumberland
4:34
Fusiliers. Then he was a frontline medic
4:36
in Ukraine. Sure. Right, okay. And you
4:38
are aware that's against the law? Yeah,
4:40
yeah, no, he's lying. Ignore
4:42
him. Erm, so, now I actually
4:45
work with Sherlock Holmes here. We operate a
4:47
detective agency off Baker Street. Okay.
4:50
And, last night,
4:52
we were monitoring a property near
4:54
Kensington Gardens. And there
4:56
was, erm, a
5:00
skeletal entity roaming
5:02
around the top floor. Right.
5:06
And, are the
5:08
skeletal entities in the room with us now?
5:10
No, look, it was
5:12
probably an elderly gentleman who
5:14
looked very unwell. I've got to provide you with
5:16
this, er, pamphlet, Mr Watson.
5:19
Erm... Doctor. Of course you're a doctor.
5:21
Of course you are. There's just some
5:23
helpful advice and phone numbers here. I
5:25
don't need psychiatric help. Well,
5:28
not for this. Anyway, for some other things. Yeah, that'd
5:30
be great. Give me the... Can I have the pamphlet? What
5:33
were you doing at Nine Palace Garden Terrace, gents?
5:36
As John Watson here has said,
5:38
we were there for work. For
5:41
a client. On behalf of your... agency.
5:44
Actually, this case is materialised
5:46
due to our own intrigue
5:48
and observations. Okay,
5:51
gents, look, that is the home
5:53
of a very prominent academic. Alright? A
5:55
very well-known media figure. And I think we all
5:57
know that here, don't we? Yes.
6:00
Well, we all make a selfie with a celeb,
6:02
don't we? Eh? We could all get carried away.
6:04
I got a photo with Piers Morgan just the
6:06
other week. Sorry to hear that. But I know
6:08
to keep my distance. Okay?
6:11
And any sort of delusional
6:13
fantasies you may have about
6:15
your relationship with Professor Presbury,
6:18
I realise they will be very strong and
6:21
personal to you, but
6:23
they are not grounded in reality. Yeah?
6:26
Do you understand that? Who
6:29
alerted you to our vehicle? Concerned
6:31
relatives. Of Professor Presbury?
6:33
That's correct. So they're
6:35
monitoring the security cameras for the house?
6:38
I would imagine, Mr Holmes, that
6:40
they're concerned about the tenacity of
6:42
his fans and took these
6:44
measures, yes, right? Things can
6:47
feel very threatening when loved ones are
6:49
involved. Excellent. Well, my
6:52
questioning is complete. You've been very helpful.
6:54
Sorry? Watson, chop-chop. No,
6:56
no, no, no, excuse me. No,
6:58
look, that's not how this works.
7:00
Come, Watson. Our stalking must continue.
7:02
Excuse me? Next target, Presbury's loved
7:04
ones. Okay.
7:10
And just sign here? Just
7:12
there. Ah, thanks again, Marianna. I meant
7:14
stalking in a non-threatening sense. And they're
7:17
no longer detained? No, that's it. And
7:19
we may reach out for more questions
7:21
as of when. Great. Thank
7:24
you, officer. Have a nice day. When
7:28
did you buy a smart car? I didn't buy
7:30
it. I rented it. Why? Because
7:32
we were doing a stakeout. A
7:35
stakehouse? A stake-out, like a stake-out,
7:37
like it did... It doesn't
7:39
matter. We were monitoring a house for a case. We
7:42
don't have an active case right now. Actually,
7:44
we do. No, we
7:46
don't. You do, yes. Sorry, meant to say...
7:49
Who's the client? Um... there
7:51
isn't one. So, what
7:54
are we doing? Scratching a
7:57
particular Sherlock itch, which
7:59
is... The last of our
8:01
meeting raps is the hope of
8:03
Professor Orson Presbury. Okay.
8:06
The elderly man is being mistreated,
8:08
possibly. Certainly neglected. As
8:11
is his cat. Well, that
8:13
sounds fun. You're
8:16
checking your WhatsApp messages, yeah? I
8:19
put two murder cases in the group. No,
8:21
I know. I agree with Sherlock.
8:23
This case did have an initial,
8:25
I don't know, attraction to it, but now
8:27
we know it's Orson Presbury. And,
8:30
you know, his family. I
8:32
just don't think we can pursue this any further.
8:35
What on earth are you talking about? This
8:37
is serious stuff, Sherlock. This is a major
8:39
figure who is emphatically telling us to back
8:41
off. His family, are you
8:43
mean? Yes, because they probably work for his organisation.
8:45
They're looking out for him. Wait, wait. What? What
8:48
is it? Wait for the green man. Oh. Look
8:51
at you. You're on edge. Why is this such a
8:53
compelling case? He may just have
8:55
an elderly relative he's scaring for. He
8:58
doesn't. The man is 76. His father died in 2009.
9:00
His mother in 2012. Brother?
9:04
Only child. Yours? Both
9:06
of these. And he's long divorced
9:08
anyway. Besides, what's going
9:10
on on that top floor is not
9:12
care. Far from it. Can
9:14
you slow down, please? Can't, I'm afraid. Why?
9:17
Because we're going to be late. Late
9:19
for what? The matinee. Where's
9:22
he going? Oh,
9:25
didn't I come? 120
9:27
pounds spent on ticket shop. Ticket
9:31
shop? Any
9:33
chimps in the house? Yes.
9:35
Oh my God. You're a chimp? Yes,
9:37
I am. I'm erotic,
9:40
conscientious. You've got them. Tick.
9:42
Tick. Agreeable. Yeah,
9:45
I mean, of course. Will you two chimp? Our chimps
9:47
he said this is where our personality is formed. So
9:49
bonobo. Incubating, refining
9:52
over millions of years. Those
9:54
of you who are chimp and
9:56
these put people first. You put
9:58
community first. You know
10:01
and understand the value of
10:03
teamwork. You respect
10:05
hierarchies, but you don't analyse your
10:07
position within it. Remember,
10:10
chimp supplements. There's a subscription for
10:12
that now with a price reduction.
10:15
Don't wait around. So,
10:18
chimp, personality first.
10:21
Like the gorillas. How many gorillas we
10:23
got here? Wow. People
10:29
are always surprised to hear this.
10:32
I'm a gorilla. I
10:35
take the silverback supplements. Gorillas
10:38
are often seen as pure brute
10:40
strength, but they're not. They're
10:42
thinkers. They're... He's
10:45
good, mate. He is good. Have
10:47
you got your phone? They took phones off us. How
10:50
have you got your mic? I did it. And
10:52
I did the same. Okay, here's
10:55
your phone, John. And
10:57
Sherlock. They didn't have yours.
11:00
It's because I didn't give it to them. Why not?
11:03
Because I don't agree with the policy of people in
11:05
the first place. Mrs. Hudson, hold
11:07
this ice cream cart and stand in
11:09
front of this stairway. Sherlock,
11:11
what are you... There's
11:14
anyone through? Watson, come. What is going on? Yes,
11:16
Bo. You can't just stand here and serve ice
11:18
cream. Bo. Oh.
11:21
Right. Right. What are we doing? Oh,
11:23
I've got to go with ice cream, please. Okay. Yeah, ice cream.
11:26
I have chocolate. I
11:28
think and... Strawberry. Mate,
11:33
this is... We're going to get
11:35
a restraining order if we're not careful. I'm
11:37
being careful. Hmm. Dressing
11:40
rooms. Dressing rooms. Down
11:42
that way. Ah, yes. Just
11:45
so I know, what's the plan here? I'm
11:48
going to ask Professor Orson Presbury. Okay.
11:51
Then what? Ask him why he's got a weird old bloke
11:53
in his house? Words to that
11:55
effect. Oh, Christ. Hi.
11:58
Can I help? Ah, Tom. Edith.
12:00
Hi! Really is bloody lovely to
12:02
see you both again. Sorry I
12:04
missed a wedding, was biking through
12:06
Cambodia. This is my head
12:09
of security, Joe Wilson. Joe, this
12:11
is Edith and Tom Bennett Presbury.
12:13
Edith is Professor Presbury's daughter. Wow,
12:15
okay, cool. Um,
12:18
nice to meet you both. Your father
12:20
is a fascinating man. Um, me
12:23
and Sherman would
12:25
just say... Sherman, of course,
12:28
that's, um... Remind me again how
12:30
we know each other. Bumping to so
12:32
many people at these things, it's like, Oh,
12:34
God! So,
12:37
sorry, of course. I work for
12:39
a global media company who will
12:41
remain nameless. Yeah,
12:44
one of the big streamers. Oh, okay.
12:46
We're interested in putting a series together
12:48
on Orson. Huge budget. Haven't spoken to
12:51
him for a while about it, actually.
12:53
Oh. Wow. That's,
12:56
uh... That's excellent. Well,
12:58
we run his whole thing.
13:00
His empire? Ah, yes,
13:03
quite. We're his management team, essentially, these
13:05
days. So, absolutely get
13:07
back in touch with us about that. Here's
13:10
our card. Ah, thank you ever so much.
13:12
I actually... We had a pop
13:14
at Everest together back in the day, and I was very
13:16
much hoping to see him face to
13:18
face. Ooh. Uh, probably
13:22
doing his post-show...
13:24
Call down. Yeah.
13:27
Sorry, um, spit above my payroll
13:29
as security, but you've got that
13:31
meeting with the Disney team about
13:33
the... The Thing. Oh, of
13:36
course, yes, The Thing. Such
13:38
a shame to miss Orson. Oh, no,
13:40
no, no. Let me grab him. It's
13:42
no problem, honestly. He'll have his mask
13:44
on, though. Won't you, Tom? Yeah,
13:46
his face masked. Um...
13:50
Two sex. I'll just let him know you're coming in. Where'd
13:53
we learn? Ah,
13:56
goodness. Look at you, Orson. German!
14:02
Forget the mask, this is very
14:04
much part of the year. The cooldown. The
14:06
cooldown, yes. At the top,
14:08
ice bars, I have ice masks.
14:10
All that jabbering on. Hi,
14:14
Joe. Awesome. Oof, that's the handshake
14:16
of a silverback. You better believe
14:19
it. You've met
14:21
Edith and Tom. Yes, yeah, yeah. Terrific.
14:25
What are we looking at here? What's
14:27
the pitch? Documentary? Mini-series? Series?
14:30
Feature? Um... I think
14:32
you said series earlier. I did,
14:34
didn't I? Yes, that's the
14:36
early rumblings. Good, that's good.
14:40
We've been looking for something like that, haven't
14:42
we? Yeah, I think
14:44
it's always good to reach as many
14:46
people as possible, really. Help
14:48
as much as we can, you know?
14:51
Help people achieve, to understand themselves. Of
14:53
course, yeah. And
14:55
I would be front and centre in the
14:58
documentary? That's correct. We'd like our production team
15:00
to put it together. You have a production
15:02
team. We do, yeah. It
15:05
will work out for you and we'll let you guys
15:07
know what we reckon it will cost. Excellent. That's
15:09
what we like to hear. Well, we better...
15:11
Yes. Yes, we
15:14
better. Thank you ever so much. Great to see
15:16
you again, Orson. Last time I saw
15:18
you, you had ice in your face then as well. Only, we were 45,000
15:20
feet up Everest. I
15:24
remember it well. Unfortunately.
15:30
Oh, goodness. It's nice to meet you
15:32
all. Take care. You too. Much appreciated,
15:34
guys. Next time, we're
15:36
doing this at your Bikini Atoll Resort.
15:40
I'll see what I can do. Please
15:42
do. You'll see why they named the Bikini after
15:45
that incredible island, Joe. Right,
15:48
or sign me up. See
15:50
you later, guys. Yep. See you. Speak
15:53
soon. Bye-bye. Right,
15:56
what the hell is going on? That's not Professor
15:58
Orson Presbury. That's
16:00
what the hell is going on. What
16:12
do you mean it's not him? It's him. It
16:15
isn't. But how do you know? Because
16:17
I know. Sherlock, sometimes people
16:19
will be polite. Right?
16:21
They'll pretend they know somebody just
16:23
despair-hurting their fiends. Yes, that
16:26
may be. But why does he think Everest
16:28
is 45,000 feet? And
16:30
why does he think he has a resort in
16:32
Bikini Atoll? Are you thinking that Everest
16:34
is not 45,000 feet? Are
16:36
you didn't correct me? Despite climbing it himself in 1994, 1995, 1998,
16:39
1999, 2002... Yeah,
16:43
I get it, I get it. And
16:45
Bikini Atoll? Come on. What's
16:48
Bikini Atoll? Come on! Stop
16:50
saying that. It's an idyllic
16:52
island in the Pacific Ocean. He could
16:54
own a resort there. He's a
16:57
very wealthy man. Yes, he could. Wouldn't
16:59
be much point to it, though. Why? It
17:02
was a US test site for nuclear bombs. It's
17:05
been uninhabitable since the 50s. Yeah,
17:07
that's a good reason. You know what?
17:10
What? He dragged me back in. Yeah,
17:13
I'm kind of a need to. What's
17:15
the plan? Mrs. Hudson, speak to some of his
17:17
fans that were here today. Get as much information as you can out
17:19
of them. What
17:22
they know about Presbury, where they followed him on his tours, what
17:24
interactions they had. On it. Watson,
17:28
head to Imperial College. OK, sure. Why? Locate
17:31
the office of Professor Presbury. I'll
17:33
let them know you're coming. Oh, and... Well,
17:36
let me in. Probably. Great, great.
17:39
What are you going to do? Steak
17:41
out. Ah,
17:45
yes, they'll let you in, Watson. I'm Sherlock Holmes after all. Ah,
17:47
Jesus, for God's sake. Ah.
17:52
Right. Currently climbing through the window
17:54
of what I hope are the men's toilets. Oh,
17:57
Jesus. Oh. Imperial
18:00
College London. Oh,
18:02
bloody hell. Ranked 10th
18:04
in the world. Ow, ow, ow,
18:06
ow, got me flying stuff on the latch bit.
18:08
Ah, yeah, ranked, um, 10th behind the
18:11
usual mob. You know, your
18:13
Oxford's, your Harvard's, MIT's. Oh, bloody hell.
18:16
Oh, god. Phew.
18:19
I'm in.
18:22
Right, um, Presbury's
18:24
office is, in theory, in this wing, on this
18:26
floor. Down
18:28
this hallway. And
18:30
then, on the left. All right.
18:34
Walk with me, people. Let's
18:36
go. Snoop.
18:39
Snoop cards. Doctor
18:42
Watson. Brought
18:45
to you by NordVPN. Oh, no, wait, nobody bothers to
18:47
sponsor this show. Okay, Prof Presbury. Let
18:50
me take a look through here. Quite
18:52
dark in here. Looks like
18:54
a lecture theatre, but I can't really see. Oh,
18:57
god. I,
19:11
um... Hi, sorry, uh...
19:14
Hey. God,
19:16
right, um, microphone on the left. Um,
19:18
hello. Hello,
19:20
sir. Ha, ha,
19:23
hello. Um, hello. So,
19:26
yes, just looking at my notes here
19:28
on... psychological
19:33

Syndrome and self doubts. On
21:35
necessarily my fault since I'm
21:38
still laughing. Oh no no
21:40
no not. I was an.
21:43
Analyst laughing at something and oh something
21:45
else. Something? Yes,
21:47
I'm the Sheriff Said
21:49
movement? Sure. hour? Or two
21:52
hours sitting in book out, yet
21:54
for interfaces may yet to to
21:57
the boy i suppose Right,
22:00
anyway, there was an upside to the
22:03
trip. Which is? I
22:05
found this. A
22:07
face mask? A metal face mask? It
22:10
covers the mouth. Looks like a sort
22:12
of scuba mouthpiece for oxygen. Uh-huh,
22:14
yeah? Listen to this. Archie,
22:17
where's Mariana's face, please, mate?
22:19
What? Oh,
22:22
you've stopped laughing now, haven't you? For
22:25
sake. Good God. That
22:27
is insane. It's
22:29
all right, Archie, all right. Well done, mate.
22:31
Well done. This is what the ice mask
22:33
could have been hiding. Another one
22:35
of these. Not something he uses
22:37
for the live shows. They're all identical. Pre-written.
22:41
But for one-off meetings. Improvisations.
22:44
What are you getting at, exactly? Not sure
22:46
right now. But we're
22:48
close. Yep, thanks to me. Aren't
22:51
you going to ask me how my stakeout went? Stakeout?
22:53
Oh, right, yes, yeah, of course. How
22:56
did it go? What did you find at his house? I didn't go to
22:58
his house. Oh. You weren't
23:00
listening. I waited and watched, Watson.
23:02
Prowling in the darkness of Hammersmith. It
23:05
was a matinee performance. It was
23:07
broad daylight. Shh, okay. And
23:10
would you like to know what I saw of Professor Presbury? Yep. Nothing.
23:14
Great. Wow, well, next week
23:17
on Sherlock & Co., Mariana prepares self-assessment forms.
23:19
You're being silly. Self-assessment was in January.
23:22
Watson, he didn't leave. He
23:25
didn't leave. What? He
23:27
didn't leave the theatre. Yeah,
23:30
he's there again tonight, mate. That's
23:32
kind of normal. Yes, but when I
23:34
set off the fire alarm... Jesus. He
23:36
didn't appear. What
23:38
about Singy, the daughter and son-in-law? Edith and
23:40
Tom. They left. With
23:44
this man. Oh, you took a
23:46
picture. Haha, you'd make a good paparazzi,
23:48
you. If you knew what a
23:50
celebrity was, of course. Who was this guy? Look
23:53
at his attire. That's the
23:55
same outfit Presbury was wearing when we
23:57
met him. It is not. Him,
24:00
John. It is not Orson Presbury.
24:02
Just... Okay, let's hold
24:04
our horses. It could still be him.
24:06
And anything could have happened to his
24:09
face. To his voice. I mean... We
24:12
saw him on stage. There was no ice mask
24:14
then. We saw him. We sort of did. What
24:16
do you mean? We sat in the Hammersmith Apollo
24:18
and watched him for an hour. Somebody was on
24:20
stage. Right. Listen, Columbo,
24:22
could you just tone down the
24:24
theatrics and translate exactly what was
24:26
going on in your head? Presbury,
24:28
or so he presented himself, performed
24:30
his talk on stage below
24:33
a rather large screen. Yeah,
24:35
it's so people at the back can see. And
24:37
most people were at the back. Were
24:40
they not? Uh, yeah, I
24:42
suppose they blocked out the front few rows. Around
24:44
a second and a half delay on that screen.
24:47
Rather lengthy, isn't it? Shouldn't be much
24:49
lag if you're just feeding from camera to
24:51
output. Yeah, alright. Steven Spielberg. Stop naming famous
24:53
people you're confusing him. There was an extra
24:55
component in the chain. Camera
24:57
feed, into a computer, then into
25:00
the screen. Right.
25:02
With enough delay factored in to
25:04
provide the rendering. Rendering of
25:06
what? Of the AI face.
25:10
His voice. He wasn't wearing this
25:12
thing. Mrs. Hudson. Yes. I... I
25:17
was rewatching the stream that Sherlock brought of
25:19
Presbury's show at the Apollo last night. Watch
25:22
this. And what we find
25:24
when we really drill down
25:26
into our DNA, is
25:29
we find transposable elements.
25:31
Or jumping genes. As
25:34
we know from the Krinstops revolutionary
25:37
work on these, we find that...
25:42
You're looking at me like I meant to know what to do, we'll
25:44
say. This is now
25:46
a clip from today's stream. We
25:48
bought it again. We saw it live. Watch.
25:52
And what we find when we
25:54
really drill down into our DNA,
25:57
is we find transposable... elements
26:01
or jumping jeans. As
26:04
we know from a creamtop revolutionary
26:06
work on these we find that
26:09
can I have a look at that? Sure. As
26:12
we know from a creamtop revolutionary
26:14
work on revolutionary
26:17
work let me check something on my SD card a sec.
26:21
As we know from a creamtop
26:23
revolutionary work on these what the
26:26
hell? The AI
26:28
revolution although does struggle
26:30
a little with the
26:33
word revolutionary A. Watson.
26:36
That my dear companion is what you
26:39
call sarcasm. Nope. Satire.
26:41
Irony. It's irony. That's what I
26:44
meant. So
26:46
it's all fake? Something
26:48
I noticed from the live stream at
26:51
today's performance. What's that?
26:54
Here. I can tell you
26:56
categorically they are absolutely nothing. It's
26:58
full. Every seat is full. They
27:02
are a product of this. No one wants
27:04
to see empty seats. Not good for the
27:06
brand. No phones were allowed
27:08
in. They'll do the dots on
27:11
face. Then I guess they don't
27:13
re-engineer muscles as part of groundbreaking
27:15
facial aesthetics. They're reflective markers for
27:17
the software to reinterpret. We are
27:21
Jesus. So
27:25
where is he? Where's Professor
27:28
Presbury? The real one. I
27:30
think we both know the answer to that. Professor
27:36
Presbury. Hello. Hello.
27:40
Can we break in now? Not everything
27:42
is about breaking in. All right. What
27:46
about now? Can you please just... Right.
27:50
Okay. I'm not breaking in. I'm just going
27:52
to have a peek. A teeny weeny peek
27:54
through the camera. Ah
28:00
God, here we go. Oh
28:02
that's tight. Ow! Ugh,
28:07
cat hair. Let
28:10
me just put the mic in there. There we go.
28:13
What can you see? I can
28:15
see a hallway, stairs,
28:18
lots of posts unopened.
28:22
Oh, hello. Nice to meet
28:25
you. Uh, Mercer.
28:27
That's a nice name. I'm
28:31
not a cat actually, I'm just using your
28:33
door. Sorry. This is probably how
28:35
disabled people feel when they catch people using their toilets, isn't it?
28:39
Yes, okay. Hello. Yeah, you're very
28:41
nice. Right,
28:44
um, I'm just gonna... Oh God. Ah!
28:47
What is it? I
28:50
think... I think I might
28:52
be a tiny bit stuck, actually. Oh, what a shame.
28:54
We'll have to break in. God's
28:56
sake, I have climbed through toilet windows and a cat
28:58
flap in the same day. Let's
29:01
break in. I'll help you out. We're
29:03
not breaking in. Lovely
29:07
house, isn't it? Yeah, lovely.
29:09
Very nice. A few more
29:11
shards. There. Yep. Shall
29:16
we? Shall we... what? Explore.
29:22
Sure. So,
29:25
we're in Presbury's house. Uh,
29:27
yes, we broke in. I
29:30
mean, the cat wanted me in. I don't know
29:32
if that counts. Um...
29:34
there's a kitchen on this floor. Well,
29:37
kitchen lounge. They've knocked through, as you
29:39
would. It really opens up the space.
29:42
Probably gone through a supporting wall there and had a beam
29:44
put in. Can we get on with it? Yes, yep, right.
29:47
We'll start at the bottom. This is the bottom.
29:50
No, it isn't. Ah,
29:54
basement. Lovely. Are you all
29:56
right? Hmm? Oh, yeah, yeah, of course, of course.
30:00
You're breathing, Emily. Just,
30:04
you know, exciting, isn't it? Well,
30:08
I was going for nerve-wracking, actually, but, you know,
30:10
whatever. Whoa! Our
30:13
subterranean freshwater swimming pool. Good God, we
30:15
can't even get a bath in the
30:17
flat. Look at this! I
30:20
don't think this floor is much help to us. What are
30:22
you thinking? Wait here, I'll
30:24
check the spa rooms. Sure, yeah.
30:29
So, in a basement.
30:31
Mmm! Pitch
30:34
black. But for some
30:37
dim pool lights, and I can see
30:39
Sherlock's phone, the
30:41
light heading down towards what I
30:43
think is a sauna, spa,
30:46
bathroom kind of space. Yeah,
30:50
pool looks pretty deep.
30:54
Actually got a bit of a whiff. I'm guessing the
30:56
freshwater aspect needs a bit of a clean because
30:58
they don't use chlorine. Chlorine
31:02
in... Sherlock?
31:08
Is that you? Sherlock?
31:14
Hello? Ew! Sherlock?
31:53
Ew! He.
