Speaking of feeling sorry for mary.

You're sing. unsure. Jela Watson .

is right. We did nearly catch the guy, but as we know, we're dealing with a group. The sign of four.

Sorry, JoNathan, I know what you've been through.

And if we don't do that, i'm made of stanner stuff. The second I heard something was wrong out there. I tell you, I haven't a that fast in a while. Then still it's .

not like I .

need an excuse to come back to this place. Truly the sole they are when you agree it's amazing.

Yeah yes. What was kind of hoping to ever a bit crack at the local questions and also wish I hadn't watched an old man die.

of course. Yes, but you will see IT the beauty of this place. You will find a way inside you and glow for a hundred years.

I don't want to be boring, but then what do you want to do? We have work piling up at home.

I feel this city cannot offer us much more. Well, JoNathan and I were .

This this is stepped up. A gay or two hasn't IT.

It's defining getting a bit icy. So we .

think sine .

a four killed shelter, we do do we think they took toner?

The boy, well, shoot, didn't know who he was. Is that correct? correct. And the boy had been intercepting the diamonds. We believe .

that IT seems to be the case. Yeah.

so somebody knew about the diamonds and knew about shorto and knew about yourself. Two out of three, i've been eliminated.

I know what these people can do. And this is exactly why we're flying home. We fight again another day, IT would appear.

The targets are not safe in london either is small.

Well, yes, I suppose that's true. However, he is a fourteen year old and marrying his exam. So good luck to whatever stupid post anything I would offer my body god's service. But i'm not not sure a warm like a pensioner is what you're looking for.

You are helpful in other ways.

And the sacred joe IT was missing. No way. I think that was my jo.

Yeah, not IT was mine. And I had been taken despite my wolf that guarded IT. So via sly, I liked people a lot.

So yeah. And then i'd gone this quest through. H, what was that? A jungle of fire.

And then there was this flying fox that would show me the way, yeah, and in a snake pit that was always a creepy, but that he loved, I fight this big, like beast thing called god. What was a called bost? No, I dust, dust.

No one said through a cooler, but IT IT just goes to show how tuned in the locals are to the story, myth of IT all. And now the track continues. The hill is probably about a mile away, really warm night side of rain story and moon. And we met a backpacker on the train. Well, marion SHE was checking him up.

no weight that it's an instruction, it's not a warning and and the fire isn't on the other side of the door, is on this side. Look, we, okay, the entrance of the temple is here, then the slope, then it's fire, then door. okay. So we said something I like, I guess.

oh yeah. Let's just learn the ancient temple. sure?

No, no, no, no. I see. IT, I see. I like here.

You do .

starting a fire .

splashes of oil, where here by the same and a bow beneath IT, can you see?

Yes, yes, yes, yes. okay.

Kay, great. No one .

see lines. Lines have sealed the door on the other side.

the flame, which is through and burns off the vines that hold the door close.

That's quite a system. All right.

Let's get loose here. ready. One, two.

three. 哎。

Good work, marry out.

teach. The door opened quite easily though.

meaning the .

vine haven't grown much since the last visitor.

correct?

Someone has been recent .

leader on works.

But we are now in feels like a tome. It's got quite cold like quickly. I feel like.

yeah.

there's this definitely smell, isn't there?

death?

Yeosu go to admit, and he's .

right that that .

smell .

is IT is. And we have a choice to make. We have arrived at our folk. Which tunnel do we take?

Two tunnels. One isn't too dark from the looks of IT, looks wider and doesn't smell of death. Then there is that one.

We are detective agency. We are not tourists.

Dad IT is.

Oh.

but they is cared to grab out of me.

the indian flying fox. Look above, you can see them in .

the gross mate.

You can see that coLoring, that radish Price.

Oh yeah, they look like foxes.

tiny, upside down wing foxes.

Wait.

her .

father, mary's father, his bedtime stories, the princess of ponder Cherry.

the flying folks, IT would show her away.

And there was a jungle of fire.

Oh yeah, the vine, the vine, we just have to burn to get through.

So the jungle, the flying fox, then .

what? what? What was the next thing in her story?

Snake pit, see later. Guys can smell death. I mean, snake pit, the god sake.

come. We cannot make a judgment until we see for ourselves.

Mate, what best? Just just like saying to a totally, you'll enjoy IT when you get there. IT is snakes in a pit.

We come all this way.

But for what? Toner isn't down there. easy.

Do you think that of that? He's gonna be there.

I don't.

Then what do you think?

I think, I think we will expose the rot and spread so far as to even reach into the walls of a fourteen year old boy's bedroom in west london. That's what I think .

you think there here, the sign of four.

The question is not whether they're here, but whether they are still here.

Oh, you think they enter the temple?

I do.

It's just tracing any other good guy, right?

right?

yes. sure.

When we go.

We had job in IT.

What what our .

job that we had really oh yeah.

yeah. I angry like someone .

asked me the other day what I did and I said on a podcast and then they gave me that look that you anyone that says i'm a podcast I should get to beyond for mean, look, look at us now i'm not really a podcast. I an adventure or but if you can say that that in a garden party, can you me, yeah, i'm an adventure chief adventure officer. Yeah, that just make pit. Okay, great. What do we do?

There's a door on the other side of the room. see.

Oh yeah. Well, he, look, look, look, look, if you go on the wall on the right, you can walk straight for the pit and get to the door.

Come up.

wait.

put the light on that door.

Here.

that's not the .

way through. See any other doors here, mate?

No.

not yet. Sure not. This is quite obviously the way.

but we trapped temples tend to structure their roots and pathways to the unobvious. Good point about your second problem. We know someone has been here recently, but the cop works on that door over there. Look at them, rather dense and plentiful.

Didn't agree. Cub webs mean touch, correct?

I would venture the door we need opens a different direction.

What direction down?

Shout, oh my god, he's waiting in snakes and he's waiting in bloody snow show.

Don't be afraid how the happens. You, your problem. Vipers and crates are much more good.

Oh, okay, okay, embrace the pythons. cool. lovely. Here we go.

Oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god, god.

yeah. Feels as well because I thought IT no, that get off off your big, slippery twice and we got dog. Don't kick them, john. That one went .

for me for any loosens in the floor view of changes in height or texture.

Wait, wait, I feel something it's it's ratting slightly, feels like a door, like like a trap door, door.

Let 看看。

on my .

thank you。

Well.

just here he put his hands .

in with the snake can kick that one done nothing but his at me since I came in here.

You're right. It's a door and I feel a latch. Okay, mario, step back.

You don't .

heading into the .

next room.

Shallow show up.

Quick, come through for more snakes .

fall in OK OK his office. Slow me .

close. IT back up. Every girl.

Smell and I see where .

it's .

coming from.

Where look.

His bodies everywhere, should I look?

Good god.

It's a massacre.

Most look shot from what I can tell. Yeah, few few rounds s and magazines here on the ground.

But why? what? what? What happened here?

The stone wolf look, just like mary said, the protector of the stone.

And with the .

stone there's a plinth.

Well .

that'll be IT that be IT.

Go go.

Where is IT?

It's not here.

It's been taken, but not recently. Dust is collected in this basin here. Then who are .

these people?

Could be thise could be just some poor locals that had come to protect the sa cooler upon hearing of the threat.

I think you maybe right.

What makes you .

say that the blood, the writing on the .

wall here.

some light IT.

was .

written .

in haste.

Hast from what death? Abdul ka dust akbar, I think he tried to write another name here.

but he didn't .

make IT wait known to stop.

wait. I wasn't .

doing anything.

stop. fine. Mary SHE was when he was in afghanistan. On her first tour, SHE was kidnapped, ed and held hostage in a cave.

The barron n. Host.

yeah, that was her SHE said. The soldiers that had her, they were telling her that a dollar khan was coming curious.

and her dad in the stories, the bad guy was called the monster, I mean, or whatever he was called dost. So a dollar can dost .

up the hunting her and capt. In more than knew they would come for. But well.

when we first met pressure, SHE claimed his friends had mentioned he'd been meeting a man named mohinder A.

Let we. go.

Nice to see this .

guy and the trees.

Nice did not smell copses really?

What next?

Well, that would be a question for the most to detected.

We head back to london. There's a boy who needs us.

You're right.

And I. Bet wagons has been feeling me.

john cheese.

Hi David mclouth y from the rest is classify here is that clip that we mentioned earlier on. We're back with her mitt rose belt or in tehran in july of one thousand nine hundred and fifty three. Kermit is there. He is planning a coup. He's got bags of cash and he's in constant villa calling himself James luck age that's right.

And he's supposed to be undercover as jane broken age. But when he plays tennis with other other expats and diplomats, every time he misses a shot, he curses himself and says a rose belt, which is his real name, so is. And then when people ask why, there he goes, well, i'm such a passionate republican that I hate Frank in roseville, a democrat. And so yeah, use the name is a curse word. I mean.

that is not good cover as IT. It's it's pretty rough. It's pretty rough. Although I will say that being wasted online, Ricky and playing tennis, that's a Normal seems very Normal. So permit there. Now he's brought money that right to throw around but it's maybe less than we would think yeah to accomplish the overthrows of the government. Is that right?

yeah. I mean, some of estimates said that he can do IT for hundred thousand dollars, something like that. And IT seems crazy.

Doesn't IT to think that all that costs for the Q I. In the estimates vary, but that's basically bribe money. That's the gone. I thought this .

was also very interesting. I was not aware before we started looking in. He actually takes over M I sexes network.

Yeah in iran doesn't a which is in you can think of a modern parallel where you don't have a joint. I mean, it's it's a joint effort, but he doesn't have britz on the ground with him. Ah he's there. He's taken over.

The british 是 british tworog。 If you want to hear a full episode, listen to the rest is classified wherever you get your podcasts.
