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,

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.
