Previously on Sherlock and Co. There we go! What is it? What's inside? A note. What does it say? The sign of Thor. This ugly bastard is Toby.

Hey, oh, he likes you. He seems to be into this note. Lucky I still have it, to be honest. Your amazing creature nearly swallowed it, came over frantically sniffing it in Regent's Park. Get us a lab and meet me at St Bart's. No service dogs are trained to sniff codeine unless case dependent. He was sniffing for something else. Anthrax.

Jesus! What? Are you okay? Uh... Sorry, I didn't... I mean, I didn't technically kiss you. I was just positioning... Sholto. What? There, on... There's a litter from him.

Sholto is back. He's corresponding again. So we have more diamonds? No. What do we have then? He sent her an airline ticket to Sri Guru Ram Das Ji International Airport in Amritsar. I think it's important that you both know where I'm going.

What? She can't go by herself. No, I'm going with you. Mary, I'm going to protect Mary. Yeah, yeah. And I'm going. What? She can't go by herself. No, I'm going with you. Mary, I'm going to protect Mary. Yeah, yeah, and I'm going to protect you. Then I'm going to protect Marianne. I don't need to... You said my name.

No, I didn't. Yes, you did. Did not. You did. Thanks, mate. Cheers. The gang are at Heathrow Airport! Yes! Oh no.

What's up? What is that? And when did you put that on? Ah, this nifty little fella. Yeah, that my friend is a bum bag. A fanny pack, to our American listeners. Warning, this episode contains bum and fanny. This is the worst thing you've done.

Is this why she wasn't in the cab with us? She saw your bum bag? Oh she's been given the five-star treatment by Shalto, chauffeur and first-class. Anyway let me have a wee rummage in here. Let's do the checklist. Okay fine. Right, passports. Check. The wheelie big case. Check. It's funny because we're doing a really big case and it's on wheels. Stop. One little case each. Uh, check.

Check, say it please. Check. Now, you. Mm-hmm. Ear defenders. Check. Sunglasses after the security gates, please. Check.

Sunflower lanyard. Check. And last but not least, a big smile and a can-do attitude. Nope. Bye-byedo attitude. Nope. Bye bye. Sherlock! What are you gonna get? Oh, so now you're gonna talk to me. What?

You're done speaking to your girlfriend in first class. Goodness sake. What was it like in there? Oh, unbelievable. I saw they had proper plates, champagne glasses and stuff. The cabin crew was smiling. Actually smiling. Ooh, nice. You can take the bumbug off now? Yeah, I know. So, what are you going to get?

For... For takeoff when they come round. What are you getting? I don't know. Water? Mariana. What? Water. What? Planes can make you dehydrated. Yeah, but it's special, isn't it?

Going on a big trip. Why? What are you getting? I don't know. Beer. Beer. It's so special you get a drink you have three or four times a week. What?

Maybe I'll get a Bloody Mary. Why? Because tomato juice. Am I missing something? When you fly Because... tomato juice? Am I missing... something? When you fly, you have tomato juice, don't you? No, you don't. Will you two please be quiet? You're wearing ear defenders over headphones.

How can you possibly hear us? I just can. Okay, okay. Sorry, Sherlock. Watson, when the trolley comes round, could you get me a water? Oh, God's sake. What are you watching, mate? Plane. Plane? Yes, plane.

Who's in it? We are. What? You're watching the map? Yes. Well, thrilling. I hope not. What are you watching? Sliding Doors.

What is that? It's a movie where Gwyneth Paltrow misses her tube and in that one small act of missing her tube, that tiny, seemingly insignificant act, other opportunities pop up that never would have popped up before and she has a whole new life parallel to her old one. Hey. Oh, hi. I thought I'd try sneak these back here and it looks like I got away with it quick. Oh hey, champagne, here you go Sherlock. Um, okay, fine.

Oh I got one for Mariana as well. She's, she is passed out. Yeah, I wouldn't. Um, I guess I'll have to drink too. Oh dear, what a shame. Oh look how that worked out. How's first class? Oh it's okay. Yeah sure. Yeah I know, it is amazing. Everyone is so nice and the food. Yeah, yeah, all right. Right, I better go sleep. Big day coming up. Massive.

Huge. Huge. Huge day. Okay, bye. Bye. Night night. You can wipe that smile off your stupid face. Hey. I meant what I said.

I don't have a stupid face. Okay, I didn't mean that. You have a lovely face. Very warm. Thank you. One of my stronger features, I think. That and my hands. I've my stronger features, I think. That and my hands.

I've always thought I have nice hands. It's hard to tell right now as you're gripping two glasses of champagne and of course that dagger that you keep plunging into my back. Right. Whoa. What is going on here? She is a client. Right.

And you're flirting and snogging her. I didn't snog her. Alright, fine. But you're flirting and snogging her. I didn't snog her. Alright, fine. But you're flirting. I don't know about that mate. There's cordial convo, yeah? Huge, huge day. Night night. Yes, yes, yes. Alright, alright. I get your point. It is noted. I will deal with it. Yes, please do. I didn't ask for it, did I? I said a number of times, flat out, I don't want to contact her. Well, that's just as bad. How is it?

God, I'm tempted to call your face stupid again, I really am. How is it as bad? So you deny the case? You'd either sleep with the client or not investigate the case at all. Come on. May I remind you Dr. John Amish Watson there is a 14 year old boy missing. You don't need to remind me. Well maybe I need to remind you of who really cares about you and it's not sexy babe army nurses. Don't say sexy babe. Army nurses from New Zealand. It's a bunch of listeners you've never met. It's an autistic detective and a Spanish accountant who is a terribly ugly sleeper for some reason.

Yeah. Really is awful, isn't it? That is what you need reminding of. That and the fact our company is the very finest in its field. It will not be compromised by romantic attractions or personal entanglements with clients. Victor Trevor. I knew you were going to throw that in my face. Your stupid face. I solved it, didn't I? Yeah, and we'll solve this. Fine.

Fine. Fine. Fine. Do you want a top-up of champagne? Yes, please. Was I snoring? Snoring, farting and generally being disgusted. I was not farting, John.

Check you were. They dropped the oxygen mask. It was so bad. John! Shh! Oh, sorry. Idiot. Oh wow, busy busy. Tell you what, bloody fancy air for it isn't it? Look at that building. Eerie, sleek, sleek. That's the word, sleek as you like.

Okay, so we can get a cab or if you want you can get those things there. Yes, I vote for the tuk tuk. You want to get a tuk tuk? Yes. It's a 30 minute journey to the hotel. Yes, and I plan to make it enjoyable. But what about the bags? Tuk-tuks are for nipping about town, not for bulky airport transfers. They'll fit. Wanna bet?

Absolutely. Yeah, no, I'm not putting my brain against yours for that kind of thing. Let's take the tuk-tuk. Okey-dokey. Oh, now he wants to. Sorry, what was that? Sherlock was just making an observation. Yep, sure. Hello mate, three of, four of us sorry and this luggage to the the White Eagle

Hotel. White Eagle? Yes, yes. 30 minutes sir. Great cool. Yep. Right let's have a little drive on this fella and take in the sights all aboard. The fucking hell we nearly tipped over on that corner. I swallowed my vomit. Oh don't be sick on me. I said I swallowed it didn't I? Are you guys okay? Yeah no no we're just saying this is this is sick. This is absolutely shitting hell we nearly hit that bloke.

Look Watson, it's the summer palace of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Oh great, the summer palace of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Stop grabbing my leg. If I don't, I will fall out of this game and oh god, never be seen again, is that what you want? If you keep grabbing my leg, yes. Known as the Ram Bag Mahal of course, this was the very centre, and still is, of Sikhism here in India. Cool, yep. Ranjit Singh was the founder and first Maharaja of the Sikh Empire. And believe it or not, he is contributing to this very case.

Oh, is he now? How's that? Because, like you, the man that lived in that palace has also been to war in Afghanistan. Only he defeated the Shuyashar Dharani. And what did he get in return? Er, Afghanistan. No. Most of the fighting was for the Punjab region. He got, what would be later named the Surukhula, the father stone to all those diamonds that have swept us across the world. Right

here to Amritsar. Amazing. So cool. Yeah, really cool. Off my leg. Oh good God. I'm gonna lie down. Yeah, me too. But I thought it best we get right to work. Oh good god. I'm gonna lie down. Yeah, me too.

But I thought it best we get right to work. Yeah, no, sleepy first, worky later. Bye guys, I'm gonna get some shut-eye and then I'll message for dinner. Yeah, sure, great idea, Mary. I'll set up a WhatsApp group. Perfect. I hate you and your stupid girlfriend. No you don't. Sherlock, can we put on the aircon? I think the heat is making Mariana irritable. I'm Basque, genius.

Watson, door. I'm lying on the bed. You're stood up. Mariana, the door. You're stood up next to the door, Sherlock. Yes, but it's most likely Mary. And I don't have the energy for polite conversation. I don't think anyone's expecting polite conversation from you, mate. Just open the door.

That's not her. It's not? No. The feet here eclipsing the light under the door frame. At least size 12 or 13. 12 or 13? Jesus. The knock. There's a ring on one of those knuckles. A singular ring. Perhaps a wedding band.

It's Mary. Maybe John married her when we weren't looking. I can hear him. There's shuffling of discomfort. There's agitation in this man. A heavy breath. A loaded gun. What? Nobody move! We're not moving. Put your hands on your head! Face down! I said face down! And you! Okay okay face down we, face down. We're face down. Oh my god, oh my god... There's money in the bum bag. The fanny pack. Whatever you want to call it.

Shut up! We're just tourists. Shut up! Alright, alright. I'm Marina Hyde and I'm Richard Osman and together we host The Rest Is Entertainment. It's your weekly fix of entertainment news, reviews, a splash of showbiz gossip and on our Q&A we pull back the curtain on entertainment and we tell you how it all works. We have just launched our Members Club. If you want ad-free listening, bonus episodes and early access to live tickets, head to therestisentertainment.com.

That's therestisentertainment.com That's therestisentertainment.com You! Turn over! Alright, okay. Ow! Where is he? What do you mean? Sholto! Where is he? I don't know! We think he's here in Aruksa! What?

We think he's here in Aruksa! Speak English! You've got a gun in my mouth! He says he thinks Sholto is here in Amritsar. Why? That's where he resides. How long you been working for him? We don't work for him.

I swear to God I'll paint these walls red! Is that how they do things at Interpol now is it? Shut up! Face down! No. What did you just say to me? I said, no. Who the hell are you? And what exactly do you think you're doing, eh?

I'm Sherlock Holmes. And what do you do, Sherlock Holmes? Consulting detective. Oh no. And how does that work then? Not good enough for the Force? How does it work? I, well... I just observe things. Those two do the rest. Observe things? Yes, that's right.

Oh yeah? Like what? Like... the barrel of this plastic gun that's badly imitating a Glock 17 9mm pistol. And all manner of other things. Such as your Interpol uniform. Apply with the knowledge that Interpol agents don't carry guns and the safety certification mark on your toy here. Oh, and who you are, of course.

Agent Athelney Jones. How'd you do that? Name tag there. It says Agent Jones. It's a pretty common surname, pal. Explain yourself. Or what? You'll throw a toy at me. What is going on? Jones. It's a pretty common surname pal. Explain yourself. Or what? You'll throw a toy at me.

What is going on? We worked on a case recently with D.I. Tom Gregson. He's an old friend. Collie. Acquaintance of mine. You know Tom? I do. And so do they. He mentioned your name and referred to you as an Interpol agent. We run a detective agency and we are investigating the disappearance of Tonga Bajuar, the 14-year-old from Hounslow, West London. Right.

Okay. Is he Indian? Not by his place of birth, but his parents are, yes. What do you know about shelterolta? Obviously not as much as you boys. And girl? And girl excuse me apologies. No problem. Why the urgency to track Sholta? Got one of those... one of those things potentially on the horizon. What things? An international political crisis type thing. Oh, one of those things?

Yeah, let's chat someplace else. Too quiet. Thin walls. If the wrong people listen, we'll get to see the inside of a real gun barrel. Okay, where do you want to go? Only one place to go when in Amritsar. The Marketplace. You said marketplace, I was expecting...

What? A chaotic bazaar full of Indians trying to sell their wares? Shady merchants and old mystics appearing behind carpets and linens? Kind of, yeah. Yeah, no. Marketplace is just a restaurant. Think it's a chain. Chicken burger's good. Cool, yeah. Great. It's with Perronais sauce but you can get it with barbecue. Perinese is peri-peri-meat. Yeah, no, I know what perinase is.

So Agent Jones, I just want to get this clear in my head, because, well, because it's creepy. Sholto. Yeah. He's, he's what, in love with Mary? Mary Morstan? Which apparently isn't that uncommon, eh John? Ow! You kicked me! Oh sorry, meant to kick her. Ah!

Bollocks, wait! Ow! John! Bah! Hold on. There's a... Mary Morstan. Yeah. Related to Arthur Morstan. Uh-huh. It's his daughter.

No way. Yeah. And Sholto is sending her... sending her little diamonds from here to London. Oh my god. What? Listen, I didn't tell you this, okay? Tell us what? What I'm about to tell you...

Who do we say told us if people asked? Listen, it's a well-held rumour in certain parts anyway, so just say you heard it on the streets. Have you ever heard of the Surakula before a week ago? Nope. Exactly. Because until the turn of this century, everyone thought it was a load of bollocks. Just some myth people would see

the Koh-i-Noor or whatever and decide to build a legend about a bigger gem with an even more exciting story to it that's what it seemed right then in the early 2000s this gang appears on the scene. In the industry first, if you know what I mean. I don't know what you mean. Diamonds. They start breaking into diamond stores, vaults, collections, never taking anything,

but getting in, searching, and getting out. Then it gets more brutal. They start kidnapping dealers and collectors, beating them up for information. They interrogate scholars and experts for everything they know. Jonathan. What's that?

Jonathan Small, he's a friend of ours, an expert in the field. His leg was amputated after a beating. Exactly. Anyway, it spills out from the industry to smaller communities, oldie world type places, where the stories were the most coherent and consistent. Everything pointed to Pondicherry. Pondicherry? Yeah, called Pondicherry these days, but you know, people use both. There's a temple there built specifically to house and defend the Suricula. The reason my ears pricked up when you said that girl's name is because that temple is on land once owned by her father.

Captain Morstan. Exactly. And our friend Sholto has been traced back to Pondicherry time and time again. But what worries me is what he's doing back in Hamritsar. Why does that worry you? I think he may be about to give us an encore to a show he began ten years ago. What do you mean? Captain Morstan moved around a lot. In Jan 04, he leaves New Zealand.

He pops into the UK for a few months. Then he lands in Amritsar in the August. Then what? He goes to this exact restaurant and sits in this exact seat. Yeah, look. This is a security photo, yeah? You see him? Sat at the table. Uh-huh.

That's the last photo ever taken of Captain Arthur Morstan alive. Seriously? Seriously. Who's that he's at the table with? I have nothing to go on, but the table booking that this man gave to the staff. Sholto. Well this is shit isn't it? Yeah. Yeah it's pretty bad.

I'm gonna go on a date with my father's murderer. Alleged. Sorry? Alleged murderer. Agent Jones merely pointed out that was the last interaction your father had. Great. Thanks. No problem at all. He also said your father, he's a bit of a folk legend in a place called Pondicherry. Wait what? In Pondicherry. That's a real place? Yeah. Oh. What? He used to, his bedtime stories he would tell. I was always the Princess of

Pondicherry. At least I think that's what he said. What else did he say? I was... it was Mary the Princess of Pondicherry. I just assumed it was a make-believe place because I used to ask him if we could do the pond cherry stories and there was a jewel, I think. There was a jewel in his bedtime stories? Yeah, yeah, that's kind of funny. I've only just pieced that together now. What happened in the story? I... I? I...

Err... Err... I am... Ah. Okay. It might be... Showtime. Hello. She'll be right down. Ready?

Unfortunately... yeah. We're at the table opposite. Yeah, no, I know, I know. There is nothing to worry about, Mary. I swear, if he tries anything, I will stab him with a butter knife. I don't even care. No, it's... I'm scared for what I'll do, not what he'll do. I'm just...

Oh god, I am so pumped with like fear and rage and god I don't know. If he sees the wrong thing about my dad I'm just, oh I am gonna- Maybe we move the knives off her table for now? Mary, be aloof, step back from the moment. Sholto is desperate to talk, to engage with you. Let him do so. Okay, okay Here we go. Good luck. Remember to keep your phone recording

Okay, right quick get to our table Hey, I can see Athelney Jones don't wave Mary. Oh. Oh, yeah, sorry, forgot. Where is he? The table in the corner. Okay, cool. So, Sholto is pretty much surrounded if he tries anything. What's he gonna try? We'll have to wait and see, but I don't think much. Why not?

He'd probably think she has the Syracula. I doubt it. Heirlooms, mate. This whole thing is who gets to pass what down through their family Yes, well, then why is he sending her diamonds? I Yeah, okay. Good point Well, I might actually be able to finally get a curry Yeah, I'm not hungry. What are we doing drinks wise out of interest because yeah, we're working a case

Yes, but it's also our first night here. Huh? They do session ales? Session ales. Yeah, so that's low alcohol but still we get to... Please stop talking. Alright, alright, fine.

Any interest in sharing a starter? Shh, shh, they're talking, they're talking. Ah, there he is. He's quite old, isn't he? And small. Oh, he's doing the hand kiss thing. Disgusting now, why do people do that? He seems frantic.

Yeah, yeah, what do you think? Guilty conscience? Maybe looking to confess or spill some beans? Well, she's smiling so I'm guessing he's not talking about any dad murdering or anything like that. Yeah, seems quite civil so far, doesn't it? Athony's got up. Should we get up? No. We wait. He's making a call.

Okay, great. Thanks, Agent Interpol. We haven't exactly got him surrounded now, have we? Okay, now she's starting to look upset. Must be talking about her dad. Still his posture is reserved. Somewhat submissive. I don't think this man is busy confessing to any sort of murder. Hey, look, she's showing him. The picture of Tonga, she's showing him. Okay, he is taking the picture. He's...

He's shaking his head. Damn it. He doesn't know him? Wait. What? What is it? The waiter. Where? Exactly.

Sherlock, sit down. What are you doing? The waiter! He didn't greet them like the others. He just poured the waters and left. Maybe he's just a bad waiter. Sherlock! Hello again, Mr. Sholto. Oh Mary, how are you? I'm okay. You have come all this way. I am honoured. How was the journey okay? Can I get your chair? It's alright, I can do it. Look at you. Yep. I am so so happy that you have come here. You.

Your eyes. Your lips. It is like looking at your wonderful father. Did you know him well? Very very well. The best of us. Yes. Cool.

Yeah. Uh. Uh. Shalto. Cool. Yeah, uh... Shoto, this is quite important, but do you know this boy? Who is this? His name is Tonga Bajwa. I don't know him. He's missing in London. That is very sad.

He has one of your diamonds. What? Some investigators found it in his home. How? I sent everything to you. Do you have it? Mortals. Thank you. Mary, look at me.

Do you have it or not? Have what? Oh no. No, no, no, no, no, no. Mary, listen to me. They, they, they may come for the temper. Sholto, Sholto, no! Who are you?

You swallowed it? Did you swallow the water? What are you doing Sherlock? Open your mouth, now! Oh no, no! Sherlock stop, stop! You're gonna make him throw up! Absolutely I am! What? Sherlock that's enough!

Sholto! Sholto! You did this! You have to try and vomit! Someone call an ambulance! He came for me! He will come for the girl! Who?

Sholto! Who? His ghostly white face! He... They... They want it! His ghostly white face They They wanted The temple shalto who would have done this to you Who's they? Sholto!

Sholto! Listen to me! Who... Who are they? The sign of... Thor... No... Go! Go! Where are we going? To find that waiter. Oh, excuse me, out of the way! There.

He's exiting the lobby. Go! Go! Hey, freeze! Out the bloody way of the door! Where are you? Where? He's in a tuk tuk.

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Door! Where are you? Where? He's in a tuk tuk! Excuse me, sir! Apologies! Sorry mate, it's an emergency! Oh God! These are sensitive little things! These are sensitive little things.

What are you doing? Point it straight! The wheel is wobbling. I have to offset it. Yeah, well, you're about to offset us into incoming traffic. Ah! Apologies. That was my fault. This is all your fault. How? Because I didn't want to call her. And then I did, and then I told her to come out here, and now somebody is dead and you can't drive!

I knew you'd make this about her! We're chasing an assassin and you're talking about Mary! Mary, Mary, Mary! Stop looking at me, look at the road! Whoopsie-daisy! Whoops, C80! There's his tuk tuk on the overpass. How do you know it's him? Because he's speeding. They're all speeding! And he is white. How do we know it's him? Because he's speeding. They're all speeding!

And he's white. How do we know the killer was white? Sholto told me. He said it was a ghostly white face. Hold tight! Why? Why? I'm gonna take this tunnel. Okay, yeah, let's drive through random tunnels. Spittle track with the overpass.

To avoid the inner city traffic. Off we go! It'll trap with the overpass to avoid the inner city traffic. Off we go! Ah! Oh, this is a one-way! Yes, I know that, Watson. Ah, yes, I see the problem. The key is to move predictably, so the drivers...

Good lord. The drivers can read our movements and evade as intuitively as possible. Ah, that's the key, is it? Don't worry, nearly there. I can see light at the end of the tunnel. Yeah, that's probably the afterlife. Make gates heaven for me and hell for you. But we come as a pair!

Okay, here we go. Up this ramp to merge. That's not a ramp. Yes, but it's ramp shaped. Hold on tight. Lovely. That worked much better than I expected. Faster Sherlock, we're close to him now. Go, go, go! Oh, now who wants to go faster? Hey, stop! Stop or face the consequences!

What are the consequences? I'm not sure. He's coming off! Quick, move over! I am trying to! Put your indicator on! I can't find a button for that! Just try one! No, not that button.

Sod it! Oi, oi, oi, we're moving over! Slow down! You, out of the way! Yes, I'm pointing at you! Excellent work, Watson! Move over right now! Oh, he's waving! Oh, he's got a Sherlock and Co sticker! Ha ha ha! He's a listener! Thanks for listening, mate! Ah!

Sorry! I had to take the exit! He's heading into a pedestrian area! He's screwed, mate, honestly. He's going into the Katra Jai Maw Sing Bazaar. What's at the Katra Jai Maw Sing Bazaar? Lots of people, I'm afraid. Sherlock, whoa, whoa, whoa, Sherlock, slow down, mate. I'm delighted to say Anita and I are here in the Katrara Jaimal Singh Bazaar here in Amritsar and it's a Spectacularly busy place isn't it?

It's wonderful to think that you've got such a serene place backing onto a market You know just a stone's throw away fabrics designs twinkling under the night sky You can see this amazing work in the market on the the butt dust. It's it's gorgeous And yet here we are in somewhere so peaceful, so serene. This time of the evening particularly. Ah! Good grief. What was that?

Ah! Hey, hey, wait, wait, that was Willie Dalrymple in Need to Arnand. Should we circle back? Shall I go say hi? No! All right, fine. Steady now, we've nearly got him. Give it up, you murderer. Shall we circle back? Shall I go say hi? No! Alright, fine.

Steady now. We've nearly got him. Give it up, you murderer! Watch out for the people, Sherlock, for God's sake! Sorry! What's she screaming about? I didn't even come close to hitting her. Oops! That's fair. We've nearly got her. He's turning right. Okie dokie.

Oh jeez, hey, hey, did you see how deep those suits were? I didn't. How much? 4000 Rupee, that's like what 35, 40 quid? Oh really? That's good to know. Sorry, sorry, didn't see the snatch. Where's he gone? Sherlock, where's he gone? I'm looking, I'm bloody looking. Where's he gone? Sherlock, where's he gone? I'm looking. I'm bloody looking. Oh, holy moly, what is that? The Golden Temple. The Harmandir Sahib. House of God. One of the holiest sites in Sikhism. Destroyed several times, but rebuilt with copper and marble.

And of course, that sanctum, overlaid with that dazzling gold leaf. It's beautiful. Yes, and you see how it reflects on the enormous man-made pool that surrounds it. Yeah, the man-made what?
