I know.

Thank you, me. Thank you.

Why are we just stood looking at each other?

I'm waiting for a one of you to open the door.

I didn't bring my keys. Why not? Because I was in india. I don't need my keys in india. Would you like me to make a hook device out of the wiring from this old T, V cable that runs up the face of the property to then put through the top window?

And I do not want you to make a hook device from the L. T, V cable that runs up the face of the property. John, can you open the door please .

by gay minor wagons?

But he left here an hour ago.

So the hook device would be loved through the slightly open top window. And then to reach and do the just .

use your key.

I got them. Md, I put IT in my little case that won't open because this stupid lock is broken. I am too tired for this. I looked out of my stupid apartment and it's getting late. I want to see my dog and I want to change my clothes.

OK, okay, could you make a hook device? Please make. IT just yes.

Mary, oh, man, wow. Those of .

having dreams are we?

yeah. No, you know, would have .

thought you've seen enough of her these past few days.

I wasn't dreamed about her.

You just had her name .

different very.

Oh, i'm sure.

yeah. actually.

Which mary was IT then? Mary.

mary, mary, the virgin mary, the jesus s. Mom.

you were dreaming about jesus. Mom, yes, you're happy saying that .

on the pocket star? No, actually, I think, I think he was .

very berry. These lies aren't even falling arche.

Actually have count and was a lot longer than about.

but what of time span would be considered .

a power nap?

Five minutes then? Yes, IT was longer, longer by how much?

Three hours in twenty one minutes. Oh, wow. yeah.

Okay, slightly. Did IT there? You're wearing IT then.

your family.

耶 yeah。 Good for you. thanks.

Maybe you should have a lot, okay, are still in the same clothes if you've .

been awake this whole time. I have .

IT was a fairly straight.

fully ly question. In times like this, my monetary pic mind can run and run. You can feel infant, or at least devoid of time, your monotone pic.

mind. Yes.

you and most people, in fact, have poeta pic minds. Focus is a hard fought task. Thoughts are printed and competing.

Yeah, I know me. They have to sell me twice. What I mean actually do have to tell me twice all the time and distracted maybe even three or four times, to be honest. And what about you?

I can have poor tropic moments, yes, but otherwise, thoughts, concepts and population run in a single unbroken line. I work through every perception individually.

This one, you eat things in a certain order.

I do. yeah.

Do you have an example? Well, on the flight you .

had review total li different shape, size, texture and name.

but you unpacked the torto li. You took out the units and put them to one side, and then the past ales. On the other side, you vote the past the shells first.

and then the unit. Doesn't everyone do that?

no. Oh, I mean, sometimes when you're making IT, but it's can fall out, especially in the park and IT tells you pass the water or good.

Can we stop talking about tallying?

What do you want to talk about?

I don't really wish to talk.

Sure, like you ve got a lot on your monotone pic, mind. What you thinking?

I am thinking about our feelings as an organization. Only one percent of people that have been missing longer than a week ever found what. And that in adults.

what's the right in missing?

Not something I wh to speak aloud at this point. May have, but could this up with that explosion to india, you about.

we got a ton of information and nearly caught killer.

I suppose I just feel responsible.

So look, look at me.

Look at me. Sorry, john, just feel like shutting down a bit.

No, that's okay. Don't yeah. SHE said if I understand. You're okay, the right? Are you doing or yeah, they do on a soup out some of that thoughts due and put IT in my ball and very tired.

Sorry, I had been gone for some time.

said cooler. Yeah yeah. hi. Dust had collected yet.

The sign of four didn't know that the defenders of the temple didn't know that, but somebody did get your lap to our windows something.

Bugger off, just bug. Okay, fine, reminding later. Okay, laptop is on for you up and ready to go what you want.

The audio from mary's meeting was shorter.

Audio from mary's meeting with shorter that with you. Sure, one moment. right? Let's have you here, here, play IT and please. He has one of your diamonds. Some investigations.

And wait. No, this is fine.

And everything to you. Do you have IT? Thank you. mary. Look at me.

Do you have IT or not? Have what? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Listen to me, lead they they become for the please put .

IT back eight seconds.

Thank you, mary. Look at me. Do you have IT or not? Have what? What is IT? wait. Voice, that's our killer.

IT is, but it's disguise. Ed, anyway, listen to shelter. Do you have IT or not? Do you .

have IT or not? Yeah, he's talking about the little diamonds he says is yeah because the previous thing he said.

why would his concern be the smaller diamonds of which he sent numerous yeah no.

he doesn't have the sa .

cooler and the killer now knows he doesn't have IT because he's at the table during this part of the conversation. okay. The sign of fort went to the temple to find IT.

IT wasn't there. Then they came for shorter. We saw signs of torture in the dead. Did we not?

Yes, regulation burnings.

Maybe one of them directed the forward shelter that he had, the diamond he's from, ponder Cherry. He and more than obviously had this powerful bond over safeguarding the sa cooler. They didn't want you to be in potentially corrupt government hands, or the hands of the four.

what?

What is that? The killer knew.

knew what.

knew where shelter would be and when, and indian police say mary's water was also poison, a shelter and the moston together, defenders of the jewel against the sign of four a, two for one for our killer.

is not kept in after more .

than its mary alums allows. Don't you see it's about continuous ity birth rights. This matters to the people who reveal the stone. But mary doesn't know anything about because her father was killed. He left the story.

He's what ghosting shelter .

knew at all. Mary didn't know enough. Do you have IT or not? That's what he asked her. So shorto doesn't have IT the people of ponder Cherry don't have IT the sign of four don't have IT but who does? But murder, killing.

marry more .

than and shelter that wouldn't allow the four access to the stone you kill to eliminate threats, to tie up loose ends, to settle graders.

Do we think mary has the circle now is, is this why you .

don't like I never said I didn't like her or a wade, did I? It's possible that slipped out. No, you did good. JoNathan on's small told us that the bond between the sotos and morston went back over a century. If mary was ever intended to receive the solar cooler to become its guardian.

I don't think he is.

Just remember his words. Watson, short toes words.

Do you have IT or not? exactly. She's not lying to us. Sure of.

Is SHE not? She's not.

Time will tell. No, I will tell. I'm telling you now she's not lying. She's not.

IT nearly slipped .

out again. Well, stop. IT.

I like, yes, i've noticed.

Don't kick me so. On the killer thing.

yes.

i'm just put in out there. Only a handful of people knew that shelter and marry with me indeed.

And according to shelter, our killer is White.

exactly dicon dust acbar and mahinda sing. I don't sound like White guys to me.

Our fourth member is White then.

and look at the people who knew. But I remember what happened in their agent. Jones, a White guy, stood up and left, and we haven't seen him since.

Yes, and that is a thought, Watson, that competes in my mind. It's cries for attention get louder and louder. How do we know he's an .

interpol agent? Anyway, I really like, like, you point IT out he faked the gun. What else can you fake?

Can he fall? Tom Green.

what is tom Green? Is not Stephen walking. What do you pacing in?

Thought.

do IT in the pacing area.

but the luggage is in the way.

then move IT.

No, i'd rather pace here.

Keep the area clear for pace and install. And you never use IT.

The priority is toner correct? Think back to the temple. The names longer lied to his parents, claiming he had a job. Police investigations LED to somebody named mohinder a right.

How do they know .

that tong's friends reported .

IT and they said more didn't go to the school.

correct? But this incomplete assumption has secured this entire investigation. He didn't go to the school because he is not a child. He's a grown man and a member of the sign of four, as we discovered in the temple.

Then we need to tell at least that he wasn't just hanging out with some cool boy from another school. And adult male was in contact frequently with a missing boy.

Have message, greg, and that already.

Well then.

But how did he convince longer? Sid for money? Brainwashing, brainwashing. Toner had cash and a photo of mary and a travel card. Diamonds had been taken from her.

He was obviously being used by the four to monitor mary to take from her. Whenever this correspondence from shelter would arrive, they knew its value. How do you get a fourteen year old boy on your side? money? Yes, you stir them up.

Appeal to fragile shoots of anger and mistrust of of perceived enemies of his identity filled him with nationalist fury. They whipped him up against the most, an attachment to this, this taliban of his country's heritage, and paid him off. He was the shadow that hunted mary all this time, but the trust money and only went so far because he took .

a diamond himself that .

he did what, as we discovered in his little music box and the sign afford, do not forgive such a transaction. The retribution as we have witness will be dark, brutal and bloody.

Yeah, glad. Well, let's keep thinking on this. This is good. This is good. Detectives, in the meantime, I Better feed arch that stay time.

Well, well, well, what will that be? The evening boy got got two choices. So it's mushy chicken and some jelly, I think, and then there's some beef slung with peas.

So are we thinking? I mean, this one plays well with with a lovely crisp White, I I believe, or of course yet a bow of water. Okay, yeah OK okay.

Mushy chicken in is tell me. God, he loves that stuff. You know, the problem is he sticks to the ball and then you get flies. If you turn, it's gone. Yes, share looks a great.

So I followed in here and now he's not answering his phone. So yeah, john podcast, Watson is gonna do a little bit of deducing himself. How's he going to do that? Hey, you ask? Well, I don't know.

So give me say. But there's no way he's gone to the bushes but that's their family, of course, honest family. There's no way they would have let him in at at this hour.

The paper.

almost much lighter workload with such a small circular and one that could take place after school rather than before IT.

As the guy told the police.

this indeed has.

And and the .

police, quite rightly point out that the time frames don't match the demand of the circular meaning, meaning there are only two subscribers to the magazine, meaning tongue s work would be completed within twenty minutes, but he would disappear of an hours. Hints why they began looking into gang related activity, a rabbit hole that will take some time to borrow out of. Let me tell you.

I see. So we are looking for an exceptionally .

dull magazine. We are spect .

data down there.

Thought I prefer this shelf here.

We rescue him.

Okay.

No car, no lights, no beans collected post, not picked up. I think we have an .

empty housework. Good, good. Just one last looked before I step over the threshold to see if there's police yet. OK 那个。 What do you .

think if we correct and the boy has been kidnapped and taken into this house? You have to think, like the kidnapper, we don't want to disturb too much of the scene. Where would .

you take him? basement?

There's no basement.

Okay, bedroom, which one I don't know, does IT matter, do you .

the kidnapper? IT does. The boy could be loud, but it's a terrorist house neighbors attached on both sides. But the wall that shared with number thirty two offers an opportunity. why?

This is a hat.

Is a Chelsea longer. Has Chelsea fun? What are you doing?

Examining the floor, the walls, they moved him. He was dragged out by his hair. A few here and here. He kicked out, caught this plug socket here as they got him off the mattress. He scratched the floor boards as he was dragged towards the door way.

Hi David mclouth y from the rest is classify. Here's that clip that we mentioned earlier on. We're back with permit rose bet or in tehran in july of one thousand nine hundred and fifty three permit is there. He is planning a coup. He's got bagels of cash and he's in constant villa calling himself James luck rich.

That's right. And he's supposed to be undercover as jane broker. But when he plays tennis with other other experts and diplomats, every time he misses a shot, he curses himself and says a rose belt, which is his real name.

So and then when people ask why, there he goes, well, i'm such a passionate republican that I hate, Frank and rosebud, a democrat. And so yeah, use the name is curse word. I mean, that is not good covers that.

It's it's pretty rough. It's pretty rough, although I will say that being wasted online, Ricky and playing seems .

very .

Normal. So permit there. Now he's brought money that right to come throw around but it's maybe less than we would think yeah to accomplish the overthrow of the government. Is that right?

Yeah I mean, some of the estimates at the we can do IT for hundred thousand dollars, something like that, and that seems crazy, doesn't IT to think that all that cost for the Q, I mean, the estimates vary, but that's basically bribe money that's gone.

I thought this was also very interesting. I was not weird before we started to dig in IT. He actually takes over M I sexes network yeah in an doesn't a which is in I actually can't 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 and he's there.
