Oh, Jesus Christ, Frank! Birdshot don't kill. Better take damn near all that skin off your face. Hmm? Yeah. Maybe I'll have the keeper's dogs come drag you out. You'll be in so much pain you'll be begging me to twist your neck. Frank, that's enough.

Get out of my house. Yeah, gladly. Hey, take that thosey Spanish cow with you. Henry. Henry! Henry! Henry Baskerville! Beryl Stapleton! Hello! Oh, jeez!

Mariana Mariana Who's that? Sherlock I can hear you I just Come out, please, I'm lost, and Henry, is that you? Look, I don't know who you are, but I really need your help.

Just, what is your problem? Huh? How? Did you just throw, what did you throw at me? What did you throw, umbrella? Ha ha, ha, hilarious. Okay, come the fuck. You know, I can follow you too.

I can follow you right back. mate. How do you like it? Hey? You're a coward. You're a... Ah! ha ha ha ha ha ha. Looks like I found out

where you've been hiding. Come out. I can see you in there. What's wrong, mate? You need your umbrella back, hey? I hope that old outhouse crumbles on top of you. You have a chance to come out now.

and explain yourself. I am giving you that chance. Three, two, one. You? I think I, um, I think I knew you were out there. You're the... The man on the moon. more. Yeah. I know you may feel angry that I have one to get...

Oh! I'm really fucking glad you're here. Me too. I've never been more glad to see anyone in my entire life. More more astonished. Yeah, that too. How did you know to come out tonight, to track me down? I was struggling to understand the whole case, and this stupid place is driving me crazy, so I thought I'll go back through, right? You always say I see, but I don't observe, so I thought I'd go back through my recordings,

and maybe the edit will enlighten. And did it? It did, mate. It did. Well done, Pots. You look very tired. Coming from a man who looks like he's been sleeping in an old barn. I had to be near the action, but free to come and go as I please without causing alarm.

I wish you had just... Just what? Been here. Been here. Mate, this... I'm going nuts. Mariana is ill or AWOL. Marianna is serving a purpose that will soon... I saw it, Sherlock. I saw it.

Saw what? I saw... I saw the thing. The thing. Please don't let me say it. It would help somewhat if you did. Can't you deduce what I bloody mean? You do with everything else? Oh, oh, Watson, your fancy beans on toast for lunch.

Oh, Watson, you saw a beautiful woman on the tube. Oh, Watson, you... The hound. Yes, the hound. I saw, I saw it. I saw, I saw it. I saw it. I saw, I saw, I saw it.

I am having trouble. Discerning. certain things that whatever bloody mind virus Scott Mortimer has got me either

either that or the you know what John the impossible it's either that or the impossible I never said a giant hound was impossible

I said it was unlikely I'm not I'm not talking about her the voice on the wind I have heard her too You have Look at me John

Yeah We make sure Henry is safe Then we find Whatever we find out there Okay Okay Okay Okay

Yeah he's Henry is out on the moor somewhere He's at the Rugglestone in is he not? They wouldn't even be open anymore It's like It's late Late, late. The note from Miss Stapleton.

Let me see. Good observation. A little far, there you go. I've been closer than you think. This handwriting. Yeah, I'm sure you have been bloody closer than I think, which is exactly why you should have just come on the trip with me. Oh, I did.

You just didn't know I was there. But, more importantly, nobody else knew. And that matters why? Because our conniving shoe steward. hat-knicking bearded man, gave a name to his cab-driver Watson. Sherlock Holmes. He said he was Sherlock Holmes. And that is why I didn't come. Because he knew who you were?

Exactly. He wouldn't let his guard down if I were in attendance. So you think the suspect, whoever they are, have, what, been too relaxed? Indeed. How do we end this, Sherlock? How do we get this? because this is... This is scattergun to me, mate. I can't see. It's just a hailstorm of clues and weird shit and non-clues.

Our attack will come, Watson. But right at this moment, we remain in a defensive crouch. We must protect Henry. Where are we going? To the high ground. We need to overlook the pathways to the Ruggleston and to Merry Pit House. We may even pick up his trail before something else does. Henry!

Henry! Henry! Just in case there's another Henry, yeah. We're almost at Merry Pit House. Henry would have had to take this path. She's hardly going to bring him back to that house, is she? The family home. If not, I fear he may have wandered through the Grimp and Meyer.

I can't... Well, I can't see its little lights from here. Do you want to investigate? No, we will speak to the Stapletons first. We... What, uh, what, what, what is it? A footprint. Of...

Henry's? No. Of Henry's doom. Oh my God. Monstrous, Watts. It's... Monsters. With Amnx Platinum, four hundred dollars and annual credits for

Oh my goodness, John? Is he here? Is who here, John? Is Henry here? No, no, he's not. Shit, okay, right, Sherlock, this is Jack Stapleton, he and his sister Beryl live here. John? Sherlock and I have just come down from the path, um, hey, Tor, didn't we meet?

It's, uh, we didn't see anything on the path. John? Yeah. Who are you talking to? What? Who are you talking to? Um... Are you all right?

I'm, I'm talking to... To, to... to Sherlock. Sherlock! He was just... We ran down from... Sherlock! Hey, come in. Come in, John. I... No, I don't... We were talking.

It's a decaf. Thank you, thank you, Beryl. Hi, mate, it's me. Lost you back there. I don't know if you've got a signal, but I'm at Jack and Beryl's. Um, yeah, I'll, I'll wait for you here. Any response from him at all?

Um, no. No. No. Right. He's here. I just met with him and we were just sorting out our plan to track Henry down, so... Beryl, what did Henry say in the pub? He...

You're soaked? Yeah, Frank chucked me out of the house. Out of Baskerville Hall? Yeah, prick. Pointed a gun at my face. No wonder his wife has been crying all night and... And the light, they keep switching that light on and off and on and off. They're sending messages...

There's messages to someone on the moor. A light blinking back, blink, blink, blink, blink in the night. These two lights, messages. Yeah, think about it. Frank trains dogs, he trains dogs, doesn't he? Hounds. Right? John, I hope you don't mind.

I've called a friend of mine. To come help? Yes. Something like that. How about police? No, they're... They're a rather eminent doctor of psychology, as a matter of fact. Right, for Frank?

For... For you. What? Beryl informs me that... Well, you have been hearing a sort of... Phantom voice... On the wind? How did you know that?

I didn't... Who told you that? Oh, right. Is that all you and Henry had to talk about back in Pixiland? Wow! What chemistry? That's not what... Raunchy pillow talk, you two! Hey!

Jack? Yes, yes. I apologise. No, it's okay. I'm sorry, too. We weren't talking about you, honestly. Beryl, it's fine. Don't apologise. That's on me. Sorry. Sorry, yeah.

Oh, bugger. Sorry, I've spilled my teeth. Don't worry, I'll get it. Sorry, actually, Beryl, can you just hold the mic? Of course. Jack, could you... Could I what? Just some paper towels or something?

I can get those, John. No, sorry, I'm just... I'm really protective about the mic, and you're keeping it dry, so... No problem at all, two ticks. Thanks, Jack. What the hell is going on? What do you mean? You know what I mean, you left a message.

Beryl, on my mic, you left a message. I was really hoping you just... Just what? Hear it and... And leave. Yeah, well, I'm asking you, first. What is going on? Please.

Just go to Baskerville Hall. Get Henry and go. He's not at Baskerville Hall, Beryl. What? Henry is not there. He left. Where did he go? He went to meet you. What are you talking about? Why is he not safe, Beryl? Why?

The hound. Right, hell. Clean up operation part do. Take this. Your necklace. Take it. You'll understand when you say... I don't need this. A car? John, everything all right?

Where are you going? John, now hold on a second. Thank you, Mr. State. John, what the hell do you think you're doing? I know I'm not crazy, so stop bloody pissing around. You know where I'm going. The light upon the moor. Stapletons have a map, Jesus, a map on their wall.

The light is coming from cleftor. I'll be there in five. Come on, come on, come on. Sorry cows. And sheep. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on. Come on, come on, come on. What?

No, no, no, no, no. Oh, shit. Shit. Come on, come on, come on. Get out of the down... Oh, God's sake. Oh, fine, I'll run. A bloody run.

Shitting hell. Sherlock, I'm nearly at Cleftor. I can't see the light right now, but when you get there, Be quiet. Who are you talking to? Shut, look. I'm talking to you, you idiot. Where are you?

Come, Watson. We're nearly at the top. Where did you go? I told you. Told me what? I told you it would not be advantageous to our investigation for my presence to... What? That's what I said.

When exactly did you say that? In the office at 221A, Baker Street, I explicitly said... Oh, for goodness. Just run. Fine. Fine. Okay, we're here. We're here. This is the spot. See, you can see the light. Yes. Goodness, you're right, Watson. Over a sudden, a message coming from Baskerville Hall.

Top room. There's light on, off, on off. And there's a light that comes back from here. I swear on my life, honestly. Then we must hold this position and we'll discover. Wait, stop, stop. What? There's a torch here. Some, shat someone will start. I've heard us. Perhaps it was the deaf on a V8 engine and a man shouting shitting hell. Sherlock! I'm merely pointing out that your suggestion for me to be discreet was a little hypocritical.

Stop! What do you mean stop? You're the one that's waffling on. Have you cut yourself? No, don't think so. Holy shit. What the... The torch. Give it to me. It's coated in blood. Oh my God. It's everywhere. I'm stood in a puddle of it. It's all over the rocks. Did someone fall on these? No. What is that?

A severed arm. Jesus. Who's hum? Sherlock? Follow the trail. Where our wounded soul fled. You see? The marks here.

Streaks and smudges of blood, the gouging of dirt and grass. Down that way. Tread carefully, Watson. We'll do. I think we've got some, I'd say, intestines here. And I see why. Why? The footprint of a gigantic hound.

But where's the victim? The victim clambered down these rocks, half mutilated. Blood pouring out of them in a torrent. Their body breached, torn at, dismembered, until finally defeated and... No. Who is that? No. No, no, no.

No, no, Henry, Henry! Move away, Watson. We don't know. This is... This is jacket. It's... Oh, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, Henry.

John. John. John. I let him go. I let him go and he died, Sherlock. I let him go and he died. John. Come here, John.

I was so scary. I didn't go what you wanted. It's okay. It's okay. It's all right. I'm going to be the I'm going to be. I'm going to
