Slash, Sherlock and Co. Okay,
0:51
John I did it do do
0:53
I just it's don't want. Previously
1:01
on Sherlock and Co. Dear Doctor Watson,
1:03
My name is Miles Sutherland on Twenty
1:05
Five Years Old and I live in
1:07
One to. Yeah.
1:11
I'm looking to get married to the
1:13
love of my life, Angel Angel. Keep
1:15
reading Angel is her user name on
1:18
dark fail to Rome of Factions. We
1:20
met two years ago at Vail Colo
1:22
where like minded players of the game
1:24
meet in person. I'm going to ask
1:26
her to marry me. The Blood have
1:29
a Chris my best friend. Found
1:31
the items okay you don't
1:33
quo auction site should I
1:35
be concerned? Has she been
1:37
hacked? Is she she says
1:39
she is? I don't mind
1:42
it. Sorry I think it's
1:44
an intriguing mister Somewhat that
1:46
is was quite well off.
1:48
He left that our state
1:50
for his kids mom still
1:52
with us. She. Lives in
1:54
Kennington with her husband. as told
1:57
me about Angel Angel Yeah. I
2:00
met her at ValeCon, which is a convention
2:02
for Duck Vale 2 on Liddenhall Street, two
2:05
years ago. Just to clarify, demonic,
2:07
but erm, sorry, miles, this is
2:09
in person? In person, yeah. And
2:11
for you, this is the real
2:14
deal? She's the real deal?
2:16
Seems like things are good. Something
2:18
that requires a detective agency. I
2:21
suppose I'm doing this for my mate, really,
2:23
as he thinks she's a... gold
2:27
digger. Actually, I got chatting
2:29
to demonic Bane last night. John.
2:32
I guess I actually think there's something in this
2:34
one. Yeah, I
2:36
think he's being taken advantage
2:39
of. John, what's up? It wouldn't take much work
2:41
to confirm the fact, because of all the words
2:43
he believes it. Well, from what I
2:45
heard last night... Oh, I knew you'd be listening.
2:47
I knew it. There was a girl. He
2:49
saw Angel in person. That person
2:51
corresponded to their in-game character. Then
2:54
the gaming stopped. And all that
2:56
continued were text messages. What
2:59
was that? Oh, it's er, it's someone in the vicinity
3:01
that can contact me when we go... Angel. It's
3:08
Angel. Angel Holmes. That's
3:10
Angel's character. Oh, I thought she'd quit.
3:13
Angel Holmes. Stay away. So
3:17
it's stay away from who? Angel
3:19
Holmes. Stay away.
3:21
So why is he a liar? Who
3:24
is this? To that
3:26
point, Dr Watson. My
3:40
dear fellows and fellowettes, fellowettes,
3:44
welcome to the case of identity
3:46
chapter two. Yep, part
3:48
two. Don't know why I said chapter. Folks,
3:51
this episode contains swearing, violence.
3:54
It contains complex and somewhat dark
3:56
themes, I'm afraid. There
4:00
is a. Go.
4:03
At I don't I say this without spoiling. Yeah
4:07
this this this references to
4:09
self harm. M E
4:11
oh A put that there for you.
4:16
Located. See. You the and.
4:38
Play it again or you didn't pick anything up
4:41
The first hundred and seventy times I played it
4:43
by analyzing. Know I can't hear it
4:45
anymore. My brain is going to
4:47
melt. What?
5:16
Do we reckon? Well. They.
5:19
Know where we live, Yep!
5:22
And. Now. I
5:24
know where they live. You
5:27
do. I do. Chop chop.
5:29
Okay, what? What was going
5:31
on? The game is afoot.
5:33
That's what's going on. oh
5:55
hey whoa what we do it
5:58
at the oval well up
6:00
to you really what do you fancy?
6:03
never really been much of a cricket guy to be honest
6:05
mate sorry v hampshire doesn't
6:08
quite do it for me fair
6:11
enough for our international, well actually
6:13
that doesn't work because this show is big in india for
6:16
our non-brits or indian
6:19
or pakistani uh... no wait, Aussies
6:21
like it as well for
6:24
our american listeners the oval is a cricket
6:27
ground stadium call
6:29
it what you want home to surrey county cricket
6:32
club it's right in south
6:34
london and is not remotely
6:36
in surrey at all that probably was once
6:38
upon a time before london swallowed it whole
6:40
and we are here because but
6:43
why are we here? listen we
6:47
want to listen to car alarms and neighbours shouting
6:49
at each other? no listen
6:54
that's what? the stadium
6:56
enhancer? yes in our
6:58
little chat with our wizard friend there
7:00
was very faintly an announcer in the
7:03
background i spent a
7:05
great deal of my youth attempting to
7:07
understand frivolity and excitement in people's voices
7:10
to try and detect all the nuances of
7:12
speaking patterns something you may find
7:14
very natural me?
7:16
not so much having created this
7:18
little running motor of vocal and gestural
7:21
analysis in the back of my mind
7:23
it's always rather handy to tune into
7:25
these things that announcement that
7:27
was just about audible from the supposed
7:29
angel couldn't have been anything that functionary
7:32
or proper those are delivered in
7:34
a level speaking manner sometimes
7:36
downward if delivering unfortunate
7:38
news delays, cancellations? exactly
7:41
these tones are used for commands
7:43
or reports so couldn't have been
7:45
a nearby train station the announcement
7:48
had a circumflex pattern a rising
7:50
and falling intonation usually
7:52
to project excitement perfect for
7:54
inspiring a crowd couldn't be
7:56
a protest because the voice clearly came from a
7:58
PA system the stadium. It couldn't
8:01
be a music event, as there was none
8:03
playing, but also no performer in their right
8:05
mind would host a show at 11am in
8:07
London on a Friday. So it
8:09
must be a sport. But
8:11
what kind of sport would hold a
8:13
match at such a particular time? Cricket.
8:15
Cricket? The sport so thoroughly
8:17
soaked in tradition and anachronisms that kicking
8:19
off on a Friday morning is
8:22
just how things are done. Brilliantly.
8:24
Thank you. Only they don't
8:26
kick off in cricket? No.
8:30
What do they do then? They toss.
8:33
They toss off. No, no, no, don't say
8:35
that. They just, the match begins with a
8:37
toss. A toss in off? No,
8:39
no, they toss a coin in the air.
8:42
I see. Why can't
8:44
I say toss off? Er, you just,
8:47
you know, this is a family show, isn't it?
8:49
Maybe just Google it. Er...
8:54
Ah. Well, that
8:56
is unfortunate. Yep. Right.
8:58
So, what are we doing here?
9:00
Well, they must live somewhere around
9:02
here. The thingy, the voice of
9:04
Angel? Yes. OK. It's
9:08
quite a densely populated area. Indeed. Which is
9:10
why we take the knowledge of the oval
9:12
and apply it to what we already know.
9:16
Ah, his mum. His mum
9:18
and his stepdad live in Kennington.
9:20
The oval is in Kennington. Either
9:24
a remarkable coincidence or,
9:27
what's most likely, we
9:29
have the identity of our voice. Why
9:31
would his mum be... No, I
9:33
don't get that. Why is she logging on
9:35
as a character in a game, someone else's
9:37
character, and calling her son a liar? Yes.
9:41
That may well be our first question at hand. Here,
9:43
take this. What is... This
9:46
is a Conservative Party leaflet. Yes.
9:49
Now, wear this. There
9:52
we go. Right. Why am I
9:54
wearing a blue rosette and holding
9:56
a Conservative Party leaflet? Because we're
9:58
out canvassing for votes. Okay,
10:00
Sherlock, are you into
10:02
politics at all? Not particularly. Yeah, thought
10:05
as much. No one is going to answer the
10:07
talk to us, mate. Why not? Because you've dressed
10:09
me up as a Tory in the heart of
10:11
South London. Oh, that's
10:13
not good. It's terrible. Any
10:16
other party at all
10:19
would have been good. My mistake. We'll just
10:21
have to be extra enthusiastic, won't we? His
10:24
mother, Zara Windybank, lives on the
10:26
street, according to her Facebook anyway.
10:29
All I could work with, I'm afraid. I mean, that's
10:32
pretty good. The Conservative thing,
10:35
mate. There's no need. Let's just knock on
10:37
doors. She liked three tweets from the
10:39
Conservatives in the last month. Oh, blimey.
10:42
She's a member of the local Conservative club.
10:45
Right, yeah. So if she
10:47
does have hostile suspicions towards our little
10:49
agency and podcast, as our interaction would
10:51
suggest... We'll get in the house, at
10:54
least, if we pretend to be Tories.
10:56
Conservatives. Yeah, same thing. I thought so.
10:59
Just wanted to check. I should
11:01
say, there's nothing wrong with being a Tory,
11:04
nor a Tory councillor. My
11:07
mum is a Tory. She's not
11:10
a member, but she votes that way. Anyway,
11:15
all I'm saying is that this is South
11:18
London, and it's fair
11:20
to say that it's not a Tory heartland.
11:23
So, yeah, feeling a little bit exposed. Here
11:26
we go. Hello
11:30
there. I'm from the Conservative... Next
11:33
door. Okey-dokey. And just a tip.
11:37
Open with, could I speak to Zara
11:39
Windybank? Yeah, sorry. It flustered. To be
11:41
honest, not exactly how I pictured my
11:43
day going. No problem. Nice and easy.
11:46
Deep breath. Okay.
11:50
Take two, eh? You're hiding the
11:53
pamphlet. Hold it higher. Yep. Just go.
11:59
Hello. The her
12:01

12:04

check to me about all of this
13:38
bit daunting on the west and haven't
13:40
really found the members resources to be
13:42
that helpful. Yes, of course sometimes these things
13:44
can be bit of a closed book. Yeah, absolutely
13:46
it's that isn't a. reliable
13:48
politics like anything really is
13:50

14:10

14:29
but that's his cup of... Des! I'll
14:33
go grab him. Oh, of course, of course, yeah,
14:35
yeah. This
14:38
rosette is really digging in. It's got
14:40
like a pin. Look
14:42
at that, look at what you've done. What have I
14:45
done? That's... That's in the fabric
14:47
of the t-shirt pocket. That'll leave a tear now
14:49
if I take it out. You can repair it.
14:51
I shouldn't have to. Just don't rip it out.
14:53
Oh, great, yeah, thanks. Come on. What? Upstairs. Yeah,
14:55
she's getting him now. It's just a bloody cup
14:58
of tea. Will everyone relax? Jesus. She's piecing around.
15:01
I can hear it. No, she isn't. Is
15:03
she? She certainly is. She's
15:06
gone quiet. Why is she not talking to him? Let's
15:09
go find out. Sherlock, what... Sherlock,
15:11
get back here. Jesus.
15:17
What are you doing? Looks like Des may
15:19
have popped out. There. What's
15:23
going on? Close the door, Watson. Has he jumped
15:25
out the window? Close the bedroom
15:27
door and lock it. Watson. You're
15:30
the... You're that
15:32
podcaster. We're detectives, actually. You
15:35
may not have known that, but your husband
15:37
certainly did. Hence why he jumped out
15:39
the window the moment you let us in. Might
15:42
just close this now if you don't mind. Just
15:44
to make sure. Make sure of
15:47
what? That you don't do the same.
15:50
Maybe I'll call the police. Yes,
15:52
maybe I will as well. What
15:56
is going on with my son? We'd like
15:58
to ask you the same. Miles
16:00
Sutherland has been messaging a woman he
16:02
believes to be Angel. Now
16:06
listen. Erm...
16:10
Usually you have to say something after you tell people to listen to it.
16:12
I am. But... Let
16:15
me just... I
16:17
don't want this to come out wrong or...
16:22
He has lots of money. Miles
16:24
is very fortunate in that respect. Okay?
16:28
He has to be responsible with it. And
16:30
we weren't happy with this relationship.
16:32
So... We... We
16:35
erm... We changed
16:38
the number. Her number. In his phone.
16:41
Kept the name the same. Took the er...
16:43
The profile picture. And
16:46
just... Yeah. Changed
16:48
it. And we blocked the
16:50
original. What the
16:52
hell did you do that for? Because you can't be too
16:54
careful. Girls will be after his
16:56
money. He's 25. And
16:59
you're right. It's his money. Doesn't
17:01
mean he's not vulnerable. Who cares? He's
17:03
25. But
17:05
what does age really mean, right? If
17:08
he... Yeah, yeah. What... What does it mean? What does
17:10
it mean? Again, Sherlock. Oh yeah.
17:12
It means he's 25. He
17:14
doesn't need his mum and step-dads stealing girlfriends away
17:17
they don't approve of. You don't understand.
17:19
He's been messaging the number. You know that, right? He
17:21
did a long time ago. But that's
17:23
over now. We sent some messages
17:25
as her. Shifting the relationship down
17:28
after she stopped playing that game. It's
17:31
over. It's not Zara. It is. It's
17:34
over. It's done. It
17:36
was finished months ago. It isn't. He's
17:38
still messaging her. He thinks he's going to
17:40
marry her. He's... He's buying her
17:42
things. Sending her money. That's
17:46
impossible. Oh
17:50
God. Oh
17:52
no, I think I know why Des has done a run. Oh
17:55
no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no. Where
17:57
is it? Wait
18:00
to get in touch with her again. right?
18:03
He. Found her real number. Oh. No No no
18:05
air is it? The phone
18:07
that side you change the number in
18:10
his phone to one you owned. Is.
18:12
That correct. Yes, Then.
18:15
Where Is it? Accidents.
18:21
It's yes, yes, it probably won't
18:24
be charged giving assess. It.

20:14
Well, I've had no sleep. I'm dressed as a

Tory councillor and I just heard a man flirting
20:19
with his own stepson, so, yeah, not, erm... Not
20:22
good, Kate, not good. Oh,
20:24
I was a little bit sick coming up there. Eeeeee
20:32
schoolshFS Hello
20:34
listeners, it's Anita Arnand here from
20:36
the Goldhanger sister podcast Empire, which
20:38
I host along with... ...me, William Dalrymple,
20:40
and we are here to tell you
20:42
about our new series on the founding
20:45
fathers, The Men Who Made America. We
20:47
wanted to look at the men who
20:49
actually founded the country, who dreamt the
20:51
dream, who wrote the word... ...upon
20:53
which a country would be born. What were they
20:55
like? What made them do what they did? What
20:57
did they actually believe in and how did they
21:00
come to play the role that they did in
21:02
the American Revolution and the creation of America?
21:04
What really interested me about this was
21:06
the contradictions. I mean, we expect these
21:09
men to be great figures. We've seen
21:11
the portraits in the galleries. We know
21:13
the faces from the banknotes, but they're
21:15
deeply complex figures. But in that, and
21:18
in that blend of contradiction and intellectual
21:20
power and writing genius and curiosity and
21:22
raw ability... ...lies the nuance and complexity
21:25
that allows us to understand them. And
21:27
the United States is in many ways
21:29
a reflection of their beliefs, their experiences.
21:32
These are the men who wrote the
21:34
Constitution. These are the men who created
21:36
the federal system in every way. They
21:38
are totally under-mental to what American politics
21:40
looks like today. It all goes back
21:43
to this extraordinary group of men. Yeah,
21:45
and they have rip-drawing yarns as well, let me
21:47
tell you. So if you want to know why
21:49
America is the way it is and who the
21:51
men were who made it... ...you can listen by
21:54
searching Empire wherever you get your podcasts. across
22:00
like none of this
22:02
has happened, right? Yeah. Clean what
22:04
you can. Where is he?
22:06
Why did he leave? Yeah, yeah. Okay.
22:12
Okay. Here we
22:14
go. Hiya
22:17
love, who you're wearing? Where have you gone? I
22:20
didn't see you go out. Yeah, no, those
22:24
lads have gone, have they? They're
22:26
gone, yeah. The counsellors. I
22:30
don't think they were counsellors. In fact, I know they're
22:32
not. What are you talking
22:34
about? This is,
22:38
I think Angel has hired them. The
22:41
little one is a podcaster. What?
22:44
Little one. And they investigate
22:46
people, they're detectives. Right.
22:50
And how exactly do you
22:52
know that, Des? Because, right, sorry,
22:55
excuse me. Because I, right. When
22:58
we changed the number in Miles' phone, right,
23:00
I saw her character logging details for the
23:02
game. Because she had
23:04
him bloody playing for her, freeloading
23:06
cow. And she had
23:08
all these fancy bits and bobs. I
23:10
changed the password, right? Because I knew,
23:13
I knew for a fact that he
23:15
gave them to her. They're expensive. Sorry,
23:18
push him on how he knows about
23:20
us. That
23:22
doesn't really explain how you know who they are, Des.
23:26
I need you to be clear because I've had
23:28
them in our house. I've been talking to them. Because they're
23:30
going on the game every now and again, can I, to make
23:32
sure he's all right. And his mates,
23:35
if you can call them that,
23:37
talking about getting private investigators involved
23:39
from a podcast they listen to.
23:41
The podcasters love their detectives. So
23:44
you looked them up? Yes. Right.
23:49
Why are you pissed off with me? Protecting him? I'm not
23:52
pissed off, Des. Well, they're
23:54
the tones, to be honest. There's
23:56
no tone. I mean,
23:58
well, there is, isn't there? Maybe,
24:01
maybe, you need to have a
24:03
quick check in with yourself and realise that your
24:05
husband is going, well you know, going
24:08
out of his way to look after
24:10
your son, you know? Yeah.
24:13
Listen, I can't, I can't help you get to
24:16
the right place mentally, you've gotta do that. You've
24:19
gotta realise my intentions and not give
24:21
me, well, shitty
24:23
tone of voice. I wasn't doing a
24:26
tone of voice, did I? I'm
24:28
worried. I'm worried. Yeah,
24:32
yeah, me too. They're
24:35
definitely gone, yeah? What?
24:38
They're gone. Alright, alright, I'll
24:41
be back in two ticks, I just went round the corner,
24:43
hold on. Zara,
24:46
I need you to remain calm. How
24:49
exactly can I do that? She doesn't have to
24:51
be calm, it's nice if she is, but it really doesn't
24:53
matter. We'll apprehend him
24:55
regardless. May need
24:57
to stretch off if
25:00
we're going to be having a little sight. Yeah,
25:02
yeah, but I want her to be relaxed as
25:04
we tackle her husband to the ground and force
25:06
a confession out of him. Well, yeah.
25:10
He's coming, he's coming. Right, okay.
25:12
Let him enter, latch goes across the
25:14
door, don't let him leave. Things will
25:17
probably get physical, okay, with that? Absolutely.
25:19
Walking to Zara. Understood. Yeah,
25:22
fine. Don't like, beat him up.
25:26
Hi. Oh yeah, it's all
25:28
mad really, because I'm... What
25:30
are you doing? Get out! What
25:33
are you doing? You're not leaving. Get off
25:35
me! In my own house! Take
25:37
a seat, then. We need to seek you.
25:40
Get out and we'll have a call, yeah?
25:42
Later in the week. Get down! Now,
25:46
I'll call the police. We've already called them.
25:49
Get out, now! The
25:51
door is locked, you need to calm down.
25:57
I'm a coward, you might get out of the way! Can
25:59
I use physical? No, not
26:01
yet. Des, we know what you've done.
26:04
Yeah, we know. You've been taking
26:06
money from your steps, son. From miles.
26:08
Pretending to be Angel. We
26:12
know. It's
26:14
over. Yes.
26:16
No. Des, look. No!
26:18
Sherlock, get off me! Sherlock,
26:20
Des. Get off me! We've seen
26:22
the messages. You
26:25
put your wife and your stepson
26:27
through a terrible thing. Sherlock, haven't
26:29
you? You're
26:31
not Angel. And
26:33
you took her away from him. Oh,
26:40
but I am Angel. Night,
26:43
night, miles. Love
26:45
you. You need to
26:47
stop it. You need to stop. No, you
26:50
need to stop. Where's
26:52
he going? Des! Where's he going? Des! I'll
26:56
do it. I will. I am. Get
26:58
off me. Put the knife down. Des,
27:00
please. Des, put the knife down. Des,
27:05
this will not be as bad as you
27:07
think. Please, love. Please. Stay
27:10
away from me. Yeah, we're staying
27:13
away. Alright, we are staying away. But
27:16
I'm telling you now, Des, after everything that
27:18
has happened, you cannot do this. You
27:23
are Des. You
27:25
are Desmond Windebank. You
27:28
did a bad thing, but that does not
27:30
destroy who you are. You
27:33
can't tell anyone. You
27:36
can't. You can't. I'll
27:38
be ruined. Please,
27:41
please, do it, alright? I
27:44
know, Des. Okay? I
27:48
understand. I'll
27:51
pay the money back, right? I'll
27:54
pay the money in instalments. In instalments. We
28:00

28:02

30:39
I made a promise to myself, actually,
30:42
that I would love you out of my life, that
30:45
I would love you and care for you, for
30:47
everything I've had for the past, and
30:50

31:35
Miles. Miles?
31:46
Demonic Bane. Level
31:49
95 Shadow Knight. Protector
31:51
of the Veil. Master of the White Keep. Slower of
31:53
the Dead King. Well,
31:57
I, I, um... I
32:00
know you're in there. Just
32:02
bumped into blood hammer
32:04
Chris. He's a good friend, man.
32:08
He's got your back, as they say. A
32:12
lot less spiked armor in real life, that guy.
32:19
God, I can't imagine how this feels right
32:21
now, what you're going through.
32:24
But, there's
32:28
a lot of people out there that really love you, and
32:31
care for you. If
32:36
you open this door right now, you're
32:38
not just opening a door, you're
32:42
opening your heart.
32:45
Mate. Now everybody,
32:48
all of us here, we're
32:51
here to help it heal. Miles?
32:58
Open the door. There
33:01
you go. See, I knew...
33:03
I'm not, Miles. Oh. Excuse
33:07
me. I'm
33:12
in this one. Right, sorry. Did
33:16
you hear all that, though? Yeah.
33:23
Okay, well, I
33:26
wanted to tell you this so I could see
33:28
your face. I
33:31
don't know why that would help. Maybe this is easier. I
33:33
don't know. Your
33:36
mum and stepdad,
33:39
they changed the contact in your phone. They
33:43
assumed the role of Angel, as
33:45
far as you were aware, anyway. Some
33:49
stupid protective thing. That's
33:52
how it started out. Des...
33:56
Des took over. He was pretending to be
33:58
her. Oh,
34:02
sorry, it's
34:05
getting to me a little bit
34:07
now. That's only because I know how hard this must be
34:09
for you to hear.
34:15
Oh, I'm sorry, mate. I'm
34:18
really, really... I'm
34:20
really sorry, mate. Listen,
34:26
so, um... Sherlock
34:29
and I, along with your
34:32
mum, who was actually really helpful, we
34:36
confronted Des about
34:39
it, and he... Ah...
34:45
He tried to take his own life about
34:48
two hours ago. I
34:51
don't think he could quite cope with
34:54
the gravity
34:56
of what he'd done,
34:58
I think. I
35:01
think he might be a bit more troubled
35:05
than he maybe lets
35:07
on. I
35:10
don't know, I don't know him. He's
35:16
in an ICU right now. Prognosis
35:18
was moving towards stable last time I checked
35:20
in. Long
35:23
way to go, yeah, but... If
35:33
you... I don't
35:35
know, if you want to try and just sneak out
35:37
of here and get home, we can try and
35:39
arrange transport or... I
35:43
don't know, really, anything you need.
35:48
Anything, just... Yeah,
35:51
I'll wait outside the
35:53
door here. Thank
35:59
you. Fire
36:02
Lord? Yep.
36:06
Yeah, no worries. Well,
36:09
he is officially dead. Wait, wait, cool. Dead? Oh,
36:13
no, no. Fire Lord. Well, fire
36:15
Lord. John? What? Don't
36:18
come here saying he's dead. Why not?
36:20
Because it... I thought... Never
36:23
mind. Well, I am
36:26
glad Fire Lord is dead. Oh,
36:28
come off it. The sacred fighter. You
36:31
know, wielder of ancient magic. Yes.
36:34
Bye, Fire Lord. Thanks for the
36:36
memories. What are you
36:38
doing? Showing you something on my phone. Okay.
36:41
It... Oh, oh, wait. What?
36:46
Yeah, see? Now you're interested. Is
36:48
that Miles? And... and
36:50
the angel? The real angel
36:52
in Canada. That is
36:54
so great. Yep. Did
36:57
you do that? I think
36:59
the master detective may have tracked her
37:01
down and let Miles know all the
37:03
details. That's amazing. Oh, my God. Sherlock.
37:07
Yeah. What
37:09
a guy. What a guy. You're
37:12
not bad either. Thanks. I
37:15
better... Yeah, yeah, yeah. You get back to work.
37:19
Worky work. What
37:27
are you typing? I'm typing a
37:29
report. On what? On the
37:31
case. For whom? For the police.
37:35
What for? For our business, for the
37:37
records, for our services that we provide. You're bored,
37:39
aren't you? No. What? Me? No. Come
37:41
off it. Look at you. You're biting your nails.
37:43
Yeah. I always bite my nails. You
37:46
don't know what to do with yourself. No.
37:48
I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm
37:51
not. I always bite my nails. You
37:54
don't know what to do with yourself. No. The game is gone. Come
37:58
on, man. That is
38:00
not true. Ugh, you're as bad as him. As
38:02
who? Miles. Sherlock.
38:04
When he doesn't have a case, this is what he does. Oh
38:07
come off it, I'm not as bad as Sherlock. What
38:10
are you typing? I rep- Why?
38:12
Oh god. Well,
38:16
you can't see this, but I am
38:18
currently taking a bow for my role
38:21
in a case of identity. I
38:24
knew there was something there and got stuck in to
38:26
figure out. There's obviously some tricky
38:29
themes and things we uncovered there, but... You
38:33
did it. We did it. We
38:35
got through it together. I'm proud of you. We
38:38
all now understand more about
38:40
the human condition in all
38:42
its ugliness. And
38:44
also its beautyfulness. Yeah.
38:49
Have a great week. Enjoy
38:51
life. Hug those you love.
38:53
Love those you hug. Yeah, I
38:57
should really write these outros. But
38:59
you know what, then they'd lose their charm. Wouldn't
39:02
they? Yeah. Bye.
