1:36

Miss Montgomery was last seen

1:38

aboard the cruise line of

1:40

the Montpellier, which is due

1:42

to dock in the port

1:45

of Alexandria in northern Egypt

1:47

at 3 p.m. today. How

1:49

does a woman go missing

1:52

on a ship? There's innumerable

1:54

answers to that. Well, maybe

1:56

if you have a think

1:58

and actually come up with

2:01

something we could help the

2:03

investigation. Search for Penny Montgomery,

2:05

assistant. And before you ask

2:08

why, it's because that is

2:10

how the observations present themselves.

2:12

So you might want to

2:14

ask her why she has

2:17

recently parted company with Miss

2:19

Montgomery shortly before her disappearance.

2:21

Been going on for a

2:24

couple of years. There was

2:26

suddenly this man in a

2:28

life. This guy started two

2:30

of him... What's the word?

2:33

Harass? No, nothing like that.

2:35

He started to infringe. That's

2:37

it. Fringe on my responsibilities

2:40

with Penny. Visual description? Um,

2:42

sure. Stocky. Very, like, sun-cist.

2:44

Sunworn, kind of? You know

2:46

what I mean? You're quite

2:49

a lot of jewelry on

2:51

him. Braclets, necklace, rings? Yeah.

2:53

Watch. And a gold tooth.

2:56

Earrings? Earring. Single. The other

2:58

way was damaged. Like collie

3:00

flower ear from rugby or

3:02

boxing? No, it was kind

3:05

of torn. The low barrier

3:07

was kind of torn off.

3:09

I've seen plenty of investigations

3:12

in my time believing. And

3:14

you guys seem to really

3:16

care about how you conduct

3:18

them. So, here. Oh, what's...

3:21

what is that? It's a

3:23

key. To her flat. Oh,

3:25

she wants to quit the

3:28

show and live a normal

3:30

life. Yes. Yes, and she

3:32

just wants some some normal

3:34

sloppy guy in some little

3:37

cottage or something. Maybe in

3:39

Europe. Yeah, completely. What absolute.

3:41

bollocks, ornaments, sculptures, artworks, an

3:44

antique mirror from this wall,

3:46

two bronze figures that stood

3:48

just here, porcelain collectibles along

3:50

that shelf, a gilded candelabra

3:53

by the window, three rather

3:55

ugly Louis 16th style chairs,

3:57

silk embroidered cushions from that

4:00

couch, a large enamel vase

4:02

that should have been by

4:04

that door there, a marble

4:06

chess set, and a custom

4:09

perfumed but that would involve

4:11

going to Switzerland Sherlock. Then

4:13

we must depart for another

4:16

destination. We must track her

4:18

last no movements. But that

4:20

would involve going to Switzerland

4:22

Sherlock. Then we shall go

4:25

to Switzerland Watson. Chop-top. Two.

4:33

One. Hello, it's me. And

4:35

it's you. And together we

4:37

make. The perfect podcasting team.

4:40

Me, the maker. You, the

4:42

listener. Dream team. Dream team.

4:44

The adventure continues. Trigger warnings

4:47

in description. But, uh... That's

4:49

the usual shit, let's be

4:51

honest. It... contains swearing. Enjoy.

4:53

You're not coming. No. Why

4:56

not? Because my time would

4:58

be better spent tracking the

5:00

financial demise of Pennymont-Gomery right

5:03

here in London. Plus, I

5:05

have meetings. Meetings? You have

5:07

meetings? Yes. Regarding my spider,

5:10

and I don't wish to

5:12

forgo them for the sake

5:14

of some celebrity scandal. Sherlock,

5:16

you just pointed out how

5:19

bad we are at deducing?

5:21

Then you could do with

5:23

the practice. Your destination is

5:26

the Hotel Nationale in Lozan.

5:28

Good luck. You will need

5:30

it in abundance. Yep, thanks.

5:33

Keep in touch. Only if

5:35

I must. Bye, bye. Yeah,

5:37

bye, mate. Great. Any ideas

5:40

on where we start? Gate

5:42

35, eh? No, I meant...

5:44

Right, yes. Maybe book us

5:46

in for a night at

5:49

the Hotel National. Oh, yeah,

5:51

I'll do that. And also,

5:53

I think it's... Best for

5:56

the investigation if I have

5:58

the window seat on the

6:00

flight. Oh, you think that

6:03

I do yeah Yeah, I

6:05

just want to make sure

6:07

that you know we find

6:10

her and I really feel

6:12

that the Windows shut up

6:14

Don't vote me you you

6:16

deserve it I'm

6:44

not so sure about this.

6:46

Oh Wilton, you fret over

6:48

nothing. I fret over this

6:51

giant pitch black cave, ma'am.

6:53

Mystery thrives in the shadows,

6:56

Wilton. Yes, that is my

6:58

concern, Lady Francis. The only

7:01

thing you should concern yourself

7:03

with is the truth. Oh,

7:06

drat, merciful heavens. What? What

7:08

is it, Wilton? Oh, I've

7:10

stepped right into this. foul

7:13

smelling puddle my new loafers

7:15

ruined oh Wilton this guy

7:18

honestly absolute div you have

7:20

orange juice all down your

7:23

shirt it was the turbulence

7:25

I said this uh-huh sure

7:28

can I can get a

7:30

refund on the orange juice

7:32

I meant on the flight

7:35

no John I don't I

7:37

don't I don't I don't

7:40

I don't I don't Oh,

7:44

yeah, wow. Oh, yeah. Wow.

7:46

That's beautiful. Hey, did I

7:48

say you could use my

7:50

window? Do you want to

7:52

get poked in the ribs

7:54

again? You know, I was

7:56

expecting the Alps, but I'll

7:59

take that. Lakes and forests.

8:01

You'll see the Alps from

8:03

Lausanne, but there to the

8:05

south. Cool. And we are

8:07

right on the lake. Lake

8:09

Geneva. Yeah, look, on the

8:11

booking here, Switzerland on one

8:13

side, France, on the other.

8:15

Oh, nice. Uh, yeah, we

8:17

can finally be romantic with

8:20

each other. Yeah, you're pretty

8:22

irresistible with your orange juice

8:24

shirt. Yeah, that's what I

8:26

was going for. Sure. My

8:28

plan, by the way, might

8:30

involve something a little risk,

8:32

eh? Oh, okay. I got

8:34

myself... Some of these bad

8:36

boys at the airport. Yeah,

8:39

so I saw this come

8:41

up on the business account

8:43

app. Why do you have

8:45

300 Truth Franks in cash?

8:47

Because I would very much

8:49

like to speak to the

8:51

manager. Do you know what

8:53

I mean? No, I don't

8:55

know. Get a few answers

8:57

to a few questions. Is

9:00

that a wink? Is it

9:02

not working? Let me try

9:04

it with the other eye.

9:06

Do you realize, actually, I

9:08

may take a picture, do

9:10

you realize how stupid you

9:12

look right now? Listen, if

9:14

you can't read between lines,

9:16

that's your problem, okay? Cash

9:18

plus questions equals answers. Oh,

9:21

you want to bribe the

9:23

manager of Yotel Nacional? Yes.

9:25

With money from our business

9:27

accounts? Yeah. What, what's that

9:29

face for? It's not... It's

9:31

not legal, it's our money.

9:33

It absolutely is legal. What?

9:35

They're not government officials, they

9:37

run a hotel. That is

9:39

a business account. Yeah. You

9:42

and I could get arrested

9:44

for not stopping you in

9:46

the act of bribing the

9:48

manager. What offence is that?

9:50

Exactly. There. You see? you

9:52

don't even know a commercial

9:54

organization failing to prevent bribery

9:56

by an associated person that

9:58

is an offense really since

10:01

2010 yes fine fine and

10:03

imprisonment no I'm saying fine

10:05

like fine like fine like

10:07

fine like fine I won't

10:09

do it okay good and

10:11

expected landing in about 15

10:13

minutes. Weather on the ground

10:15

is clear and rather warm

10:17

at 19 degrees centigrade. If

10:19

you're sitting by a window,

10:22

you might catch a glimpse

10:24

of the Alps on the

10:26

right-hand side for those lucky

10:28

enough with the expanse of

10:30

Lake Geneva below. Definitely a

10:32

site to enjoy as we

10:34

make our approach as we

10:36

get close to landing. Please

10:38

make sure your seat belt

10:40

is securely fast and your

10:43

seat back is upright and

10:45

any larger devices are stowed

10:47

in the seats in front

10:49

of you. For those heading

10:51

to Lucien, there are two

10:53

connections from Geneva Airport to

10:55

the city, taking around three

10:57

quarters an hour. If this

10:59

is your final stop, we

11:02

hope you have a lovely

11:04

time here in Switzerland. And

11:06

if you're catching another flight,

11:08

we wish you a smooth

11:10

onward journey. On behalf of

11:12

myself and the whole crew

11:14

on board. Thanks for flying

11:16

with us today, cabin crew,

11:18

bandver landing. Yeah,

11:22

45 minutes to

11:24

Lucerne. Yeah. Now

11:26

we get in

11:28

there. Train? Well,

11:30

I figured with

11:32

Sherlock not joining

11:35

us, we could

11:37

afford to be

11:39

a little more

11:41

adventurous. Hello

11:57

everyone! We

12:01

are bobbing along on our

12:03

little ferry across the absolute

12:06

stunning. Stunning Lake Geneva. I

12:08

feel like Captain Corelli's mandible.

12:10

Well, I don't feel like

12:12

his mandible. I feel like

12:14

Captain Corelli. That's Italian. All

12:17

right, I feel like, what's

12:19

her name in the sound

12:21

of music. Can you maybe

12:23

pick something that doesn't involve

12:25

war? Well, no, probably not.

12:28

Yeah, I thought as much.

12:30

You join us, lovely listeners,

12:32

as we head across Lake

12:34

Geneva to investigate the disappearance

12:37

of Lady... No! Good Lord.

12:39

Nearly called a Lady Francis

12:41

Carfax. The disappearance of Penny

12:43

Montgomery. Water is so clear

12:45

and still... Just... Ah! On

12:48

our right, you can see

12:50

France showing off the Alps

12:52

mountains with snow glistening on

12:54

their sharp peaks. with the

12:56

beautiful forests and woodlands clambering

12:59

at their footings. Switzerland on

13:01

the left and the ancient

13:03

stone spires and the kano-like

13:05

wooden piers protruding out from

13:08

the city of Lausanne that

13:10

has this incredible front row

13:12

seat over this lake that's

13:14

mounted. It is, wow, there's

13:16

nothing more beautiful than this,

13:19

nothing even comes closer. Actually,

13:26

this is the most beautiful thing.

13:28

That is a point of beer.

13:30

Yes, it is. Yeah, yeah. What

13:33

is that again? Matterhorn. Which is...

13:35

vodka, cream the cacao, cream. Right,

13:37

so vodka, cream, and more cream.

13:39

And then, this little Swiss chocolate

13:41

garnish. Can I try a sip?

13:44

I told you to get something

13:46

that wasn't just beer. All you

13:48

drink is beer. I told you

13:50

to get something different, and you

13:52

didn't. So no. I'm recording all

13:55

this. Obviously. So what? So the

13:57

listeners all think you're great and

13:59

now you're exposed. your true self.

14:01

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, sure, yeah, um, hi

14:03

listeners, this is my true self.

14:06

Hi. Look at this guy. Have

14:08

14:10

guy in your life? Nope. Yeah,

14:12

you know what I'm talking about.

14:14

Look how many weight stuff

14:16

he's got buzzing around him.

14:18

Oh God, he's doing the

14:21

wine tasting thing. That's what

14:23

people do, John. Yeah, but not

14:25

like that. Okay, let's, maybe not

14:27

get you annoyed. You annoyed. Cheers?

14:30

Yeah, yeah. Cheers to Lake

14:32

Geneva and finding Penny. Cheers

19:27

is the most kind,

19:29

supportive, thoughtful partner anyone

19:31

could ask for. Oh.

19:33

And he feels lucky

19:35

to have her by

19:38

his side every day.

19:40

Oh. And he cannot

19:42

wait to spend the

19:44

rest of his life

19:46

with her. So, Abigail,

19:48

will you marry Raffin?

19:52

I'm silent because I'm giddy

19:54

but also because I'm waiting

19:56

like for her reply. Yeah,

19:58

I mean she can't answer.

20:01

So yeah, anyway, there you

20:03

go. Keep in touch, Rothin

20:05

and Abigail, unless she says

20:07

no, in which case. Yeah,

20:10

don't, don't, don't, don't tell

20:12

us if that happens. Cheers.

20:14

Cheers. Cheers. See? Told you

20:16

the trip could be romantic.

20:19

You were right. Right, let

20:21

me get matches for the

20:23

letter. Two six. Sadr, matches,

20:25

courtesy of Hotel National. Okay.

20:28

Uh-uh-uh. What, we burn it

20:30

after reading? Dumbass! Oh, what

20:32

is wrong with me? That

20:34

marriage proposal has completely thrown

20:37

me. Maybe it's the three

20:39

beers. Who knows? Yeah, who

20:41

knows? Right, let's read. Miss

20:43

Montgomery was booked to stay

20:46

for three weeks. Blimey. Okay.

20:48

At the end of the

20:50

second week, a tall bearded

20:52

man arrived on our lakefront

20:54

dining space. He sat at

20:57

her table and following a

20:59

very heated conversation, our staff

21:01

intervened. She left shortly after.

21:03

We have no contact from

21:06

her since. Her room remained

21:08

unused for the duration of

21:10

her booking. That's the end.

21:12

A tall bearded man. Yes.

21:15

What do we think? I

21:17

think. We have our kidnapper.

21:29

Wow, this house is cute! But can

21:32

I really get in the game in

21:34

this economy? I do have savings and

21:36

I am responsible-ish. Eh, I should bury

21:39

it. I'm being wild. But what if

21:41

I'm not being wild though? Could I

21:43

actually score a... Kick off your home

23:42

23:44

My name is... He said

23:46

he speaks English. Yeah, name,

23:48

sorry, name is Dr. John

23:51

Watson, I'm inquiring after Penny

23:53

Montgomery. Do you have the

23:55

guest's room number? I don't

23:57

know. She left. She's vacated

24:00

the room. I'm actually a

24:02

doctor. It's some very, very

24:04

important medical information. Oh, okay.

24:06

Yeah, really quite urgent. I

24:09

don't know if there's much

24:11

I can do. If she

24:13

is no longer in the

24:15

hotel, sir, I do apologize.

24:18

What if... Do you have

24:20

a... Like a database of

24:22

guests? Yes, yeah. Did you...

24:24

Can you search her on

24:26

your system? See if she

24:29

left a number or anything

24:31

at all? Let me see.

24:33

Okay, so she is still

24:35

booked to stay with us.

24:38

She left before... Before her

24:40

booking expired? That's right, yes.

24:42

Did she check out with

24:44

anyone? I don't have that

24:47

kind of information. Of course,

24:49

yeah. I have a phone

24:51

number for her if this

24:53

is a medical emergency. Yeah,

24:56

no, that's not working anyway.

24:58

She, I, hold on one

25:00

moment. My colleague tells me

25:02

another doctor came to see

25:04

her. Came to see her

25:07

when? Van Mother Doctor here?

25:09

Again, after she had already

25:11

left. What was his name?

25:13

Dr. Schlesinger. Did... Okay,

25:16

do you have... Do you have...

25:18

He left a telephone number to

25:20

be contacted if she returned? He

25:22

did? Schlesinger, yes. I have the

25:25

number here. Oh, fantastic. Lifesave. Litteral

25:27

Lifesaver. Can I send it to

25:29

the number you're calling on? Yes,

25:31

please do. Anything else on him?

25:34

Yeah, anything else you have on

25:36

him? You know, like, where is

25:38

he headed? Just in case I

25:40

can't on the system. for the

25:43

same inquiry actually. Oh, what does

25:45

that mean? A note? It says

25:47

a man called yesterday asking for

25:50

the description of Dr. Schlesinger. Who

25:52

called? What was the name of

25:54

the person who asked for his

25:56

description? I can see the call

25:59

log. It says... The caller was,

26:01

it was you. What? Uh, what?

26:03

The caller. You. You gave the

26:05

name Dr. John Watson. You then

26:08

asked for a visual description of

26:10

Schlesinger. No, I didn't. My colleague

26:12

provided the description. And then you

26:14

interrupted my colleague. It wasn't me.

26:17

Like you were interrupting me now.

26:19

For, ugh. And you asked about

26:21

his ear. His ear? Is there

26:23

some sort of amusing prank? Well,

26:26

apparently yes, and I seem to

26:28

be the target. Why

26:30

did you with some entertainment?

26:32

No, look, no, I'm not,

26:35

I'm not trying to wind

26:37

you up, okay? Thank you

26:39

for the number, I appreciate

26:42

that. Hello? Hello? Oh, great.

26:44

Great. Don't start. You called,

26:46

then? I did not call

26:48

them. It's just, some bloke

26:51

taking the piss out of

26:53

us as he drags this

26:55

poor woman across Europe and

26:58

then chucks her off a

27:00

cruise ship from the sounds

27:02

of it. Uh, give me

27:04

your phone, calm down. I'm

27:07

going to call this guy.

27:09

Yeah, yeah, well tell him

27:11

he's impersonating a doctor. Well,

27:13

he's impersonating a different doctor

27:16

than the doctor that he...

27:18

Just tell him to fuck

27:20

off. Oh wow, hot phone.

27:23

Yeah, I'm not surprised. No,

27:25

no, you're getting loads of

27:27

notifications. Oh, no, that's Discord

27:29

and Twitter. It'll be the

27:32

fans. They like to get

27:34

in touch, chat with me,

27:36

send abuse. It's a whole

27:39

thing. There's a news link

27:41

they keep sending. Look. My

27:43

name is Penny Montgomery. I

27:45

am being held. No. Against

27:48

my will, please. Please help

27:50

me. There is a point

27:52

for our whole window to

27:54

save the life of Penny

27:57

Montgomery. Oh my God. The

27:59

answer is 5 million US

28:01

dollars. That disturbing video has

28:04

just come to us now

28:06

28:10

28:13

28:15

I get you any more

28:17

drinks? Yes. I'll come back.

28:20

Okay, okay. I can message.

28:26

London? We are private, we

28:29

have substantial financial backing. Yes,

28:31

Joan, that's good, that's good,

28:33

29:01

Schlesinger? Same. Look, see? Holy

29:03

29:05

sound like the name of

29:07

a North African pirate. Is

29:10

29:12

29:14

29:21

He found her right here

29:23

in Lausanne, and she fled.

29:26

He almost found her in

29:28

Baden, Baden, and she fled,

29:30

but he was right behind

29:32

her, and then he finally

29:35

caught up with her on

Switzerland. You'll see, you'll see from

31:36

31:38

the phone, the service provider. We

31:40

are just surveying our, um, our

31:43

vault, our bank vault we have

31:45

here. You need to get to

31:47

Alexandria. Alexandria in Egypt. Yep, we

31:50

can do that. Yes,

31:58

okay, okay, thank you. Thank

32:01

you. You just look after

32:03

32:05

lots of fluids. Is in

32:08

the video, she looks... Hello?

32:10

We have to go. Now.

32:12

Yeah. Maurice! I know this

32:15

is fast, but can it

32:17

go faster? You have the

32:19

money for the fuel? If

32:22

that's what it takes. Hell

32:24

yeah! We

32:35

have to make this flight. It will get

32:38

us to assemble in three hours, and it's

32:40

due to Alexander. Okay, okay, I just keep

32:42

running. I don't need to hear the itinerary,

32:44

I believe you. Wait, no, no, wait, wait,

32:46

wait, don't close it. Wait for us, we're

32:49

passengers, passengers. God,

33:07

my legs. You're okay? Yeah,

33:09

yeah, just, you know, sprinting

33:11

between gates and then sitting

33:13

still for three hours and

33:15

sprinting again and sitting. I

33:17

could do like an ice

33:19

bath, I think, because the

33:21

muscles, you know, particularly my

33:23

carves. John, could we maybe

33:25

call the kidnapper now, you

33:27

know, and rescue the famous

33:30

actress? Yeah, sure. We, uh,

33:32

uh... What was that? That

33:34

was... Some port workers, I

33:36

think. Uh-huh. Oh, see, that

33:38

guy there. And, uh, that

33:40

guy. Okay. Let me just

33:42

ask this bloke if we're

33:44

at the right gateway. Excuse

33:46

me. Is this the only

33:48

gateway for the port, the

33:50

port of Alexandria? Yes. Good

33:52

way. Yeah, but does the...

33:55

Okay. Make the call. Now,

33:57

John, please. No, we need

33:59

the proof, we're here. You

34:01

take a picture of us

34:03

with the gateway to the

34:05

Alexandria port behind us. Uh-huh,

34:07

right. Selfy mode, okay, um...

34:09

Okay, gee... Oh, no wait,

34:11

do we smile? Oh, yeah,

34:13

that's weird. I feel like

34:15

we should smile? Yeah, because

34:17

if we don't smile, is

34:19

that like, you know, grizzly

34:22

face we're coming to get

34:24

you. But then, if we

34:26

do, smile? He will think

34:28

we're not taking it seriously.

34:30

Yeah, but what if I

34:32

come across as too threatening?

34:34

I don't think that's something

34:36

we need to worry about.

34:38

I have quite a cold

34:40

stare without a smile. Dick

34:42

the damn picture. Okay, okay,
