on Sherlock & Cove. Yeah,

1:44

this is Hector. Hector McFarlane,

1:46

hi, hi there. You're a

1:48

solicitor. I am, yes. And

1:50

you're on the run. The

1:52

run. Very much so. Very,

1:54

very much so. This bloody

1:57

air fryer. My wife wanted

1:59

one. And I said... Sherene,

2:01

we don't have the space.

2:03

She said, we do Hector,

2:05

we have the space, it's

2:07

a big kitchen and all

2:09

this. And I said, no,

2:11

we don't have the counter

2:13

space, the kitchen counter. There's

2:15

not enough room. We decide

2:17

to get a whole kitchen

2:19

renovation. And I think, well,

2:21

that's just bloody marvellous, isn't

2:23

it? Let's tear up the

2:25

whole kitchen for this bare

2:27

fryer. Anyway, it drags on,

2:29

and we eventually get a

2:31

guy from Norwood. A fellow

2:34

from Norwood, Jonas Oldacre. Oh.

2:36

But he's dead. Hector. He

2:38

was... He was murdered. This

2:40

man comes into my kitchen

2:42

under false pretenses, smashes at

2:44

the place to bits, pulls

2:46

out the oven, the dishwasher,

2:48

all the cupboards and counters

2:50

and holds me to ransom.

2:52

To ransom! I said I'm

2:54

not. bloody having this. You

2:56

are taking the piss. We

2:58

have this big round. I

3:00

told him in no uncertain

3:02

terms. I'm taking you to

3:04

court mate. You are screwed.

3:06

And then on. Last Monday

3:08

I came back from work

3:10

and Jonas was still at

3:13

the house which was odd

3:15

as I had been working

3:17

late. Well very late so

3:19

I expected to not see

3:21

him. And he was actually...

3:23

He'd hung around for some

3:25

legal advice. He said his

3:27

partner was pregnant, recently pregnant,

3:29

and he wanted to draw

3:31

up a will. And he

3:33

asked if I could help

3:35

out. And he said, if

3:37

I helped him, he would

3:39

knock down some of the

3:41

labour costs even more. And

3:43

I thought, well, why not,

3:45

you know? I mean, I

3:47

arranged the forms for him.

3:49

He was right back the

3:52

next morning, before I was

3:54

even out for work. Forms

3:56

were on the side, ready

3:58

to be signed by me.

4:00

I signed it. caught him

4:02

as I was heading off

4:04

on my bike and I

4:06

said to him, we'll make

4:08

a couple of copies and

4:10

I can get it filed

4:12

at work. That was the

4:14

last time anyone saw Jonas

4:16

Oldacre. I left the meeting

4:18

room, I walked down the

4:20

hallway, and Dame Gwen Lestrade

4:22

is there. She introduces herself,

4:24

and she says she's overseeing

4:26

an investigation, that she says

4:29

concerns her greatly, and I

4:31

say, oh, what's that? And

4:33

she says, the murder of

4:35

Jonas Oldacre. And there is

4:37

the will. All the belongings,

4:39

assets and financial holdings of

4:41

Jonas Oldacre will be left

4:43

to... me. To Hector McFarlane.

4:45

You killed Jonas Oldacre. How

4:47

dare you? You beat him

4:49

to death with a club

4:51

hammer. That's not true! A

4:53

club hammer? You took from

4:55

his own van on the

4:57

13th. You're alive! And did

4:59

you see? He reacted to

5:01

the blood on his own

5:03

hand. His face ran pale.

5:05

He gagged. His walk into

5:08

the kitchen, it denoted a

5:10

spell of dizziness. He was

5:12

unbalanced and numb. Hector has

5:14

acute hemophobia. Wait, leave him

5:16

in there. No. I need

5:18

more information on what exact...

5:20

What? What is it? Is

5:22

he fainted? No. He's vanished.

5:29

What a cliffhanger! What a

5:32

podcast! Hi everyone, did you

5:34

miss me? I hope so.

5:36

Quite a lot of swearing

5:38

in this episode, but you'll

5:41

survive. Get in that episode

5:43

description for more info, get

5:45

a transcript at Sherlock.co.co.co.uk/transcript if

5:47

you fancy. Or not, you

5:50

know, whatever, bye. What do

5:52

you mean? He's vanished. He's

5:54

vanished. He's a solicitor, not

5:56

a magician. Solicitors don't vanish

5:59

in... a thin air. Guys,

6:01

look, he probably climbed down

6:03

onto the delivery truck roof.

6:05

He's gone out the kitchen window,

6:08

is he mad? Look, see? See? Oh,

6:10

for God's sake, bloody Amazon

6:12

deliveries, it's relentless. We

6:15

should really go and let the

6:17

police in. Oh, God. Hi,

6:37

yeah. John? Tom? Mariana? Tom? I'm

6:39

here to make a formal arrest.

6:41

Well, I know you and Sherlock

6:44

don't get on, but that's a

6:46

bit dramatic, isn't it? Where is

6:48

he? Who, Sherlock? Just upstairs, hanging

6:50

out, chilling, taking a load off?

6:53

No. Hector McFarlane. We know he's

6:55

here. Yeah, I wouldn't be so sure

6:57

of that. Tom? What do you mean? Um...

6:59

You know what you should do? You know

7:01

what you should do? You should air

7:03

tag your suspect. You should air tag

7:05

your suspect. Just

7:09

a little bit of feedback.

7:11

That would be illegal. Right,

7:13

right, yeah. Hey, can I get your

7:15

cup of tea? No. Oki-doki. Tom,

7:17

I think we should reevaluate

7:20

the case. Consider this fugitive

7:22

state of affairs as a

7:24

window of opportunity. That, there,

7:27

is a window of opportunity.

7:29

And our suspect has just

7:31

jumped out of it. Okay, so I

7:34

think what Sherlock is trying to

7:36

say is that... He noted a

7:38

few... um... holes in the case.

7:40

Right? Sherlock? Oh wait, what? Sherlock

7:42

Holmes! Found fault with a

7:44

police investigation! I'm gonna need

7:46

to sit down to process

7:49

this! Jesus Christ! I can't

7:51

believe my ears! Take a

7:53

seat, Gregson. You'll be all

7:55

right. Watson. Get a cold

7:57

cloth. Yeah, he's being sarcastic.

8:00

Oh. Tom, if you could make arrangements for

8:02

Sherlock to maybe see the crime

8:04

scene, it would get... Guys, this is

8:06

a serious matter. They're always serious

8:08

matters and we always help. This

8:11

isn't help! A good track record

8:13

does not excuse letting a suspect jump

8:15

out your back window, a suspect by

8:18

the way, that we believe not only

8:20

beat a man to death with a

8:22

bloody hammer, but they cut him to

8:24

pieces. You don't have a body. No

8:26

we don't. But we have Old Acres

8:28

Blood on a club hammer. We have

8:31

Old Acres Blood on a disposed angle

8:33

grinder blade. And we have Hector McFarland's

8:35

fingerprints on both. You know, Hector McFarland. The

8:37

bloke of miraculously stands to inherit all

8:40

of Old Acres' cash and belongings. Funny

8:42

that. Does it not occur to you,

8:44

Tom? that this murder tied to this

8:46

suspect a little too easily. Yes, that's

8:48

why we're in the process of arresting

8:50

him and getting him charged for crying

8:53

out loud. I too had the same

8:55

thought of Hector McFarlane, but now my

8:57

mind is full of questions. Yeah, well,

8:59

you can have a lot more in

9:01

your mind when Gwen is finished with

9:04

you. Gwen's energy would be best spent

9:06

finishing this investigation. You buddy had finished

9:08

the investigation. Try tea. I have deciphered

9:10

more than you. Shut. Your radio. Tom.

9:12

It's all right, it's not for me.

9:14

It's for units in the Bigger

9:17

Street area? Oh shit. This is

9:19

Gregson. Over. Gregson, we've got an

9:22

armed suspect at Madam Two Swords.

9:24

Repeat an armed suspect at Madam

9:26

Two Swords. Dispatch, I'm in

9:28

the area about a minute away.

9:31

Could you repeat, over? Suspect with

9:33

a madam Two Swords on Marley

9:36

Bone Road. Units and special units

9:38

on standby. Over. I think

9:40

we may have located Mr.

9:42

McFarlane, don't you? Sherlock, they said

9:45

he's armed. He's not an armed

9:47

gunman. He's a snobby solicitor from

9:49

Black Heath. Let me go deal

9:51

with the gunman. We'll talk about

9:53

McFarlane later. They're the same person.

9:55

Enough! Sherlock, just, this is serious,

9:58

mate. Right, Tom, we will... Still

11:05

getting around to that fix on

11:07

your car? You got this. On

11:09

eBay you'll find millions of parts guaranteed

11:11

12:01

12:51

seconds, literally like five seconds

12:53

and then everybody was running

12:55

and screaming and he was

12:58

shouting. And it was just

13:00

after the death sentence had

13:02

been taken by the man

13:04

whose identity has just been

13:07

revealed as heck to him.

13:09

A gentleman from Blackheath by

13:11

the name of Hector McFarland.

13:13

Five American citizens are fighting

13:16

for their lives in London,

13:18

England. Five Americans, a Chinese

13:20

national, and two British citizens

13:22

make up the hostages taken

13:25

by Blackheath-based solicitor Hector McFar.

13:27

Everybody moves back! This is

13:29

an armed siege! No, no,

13:31

no, I'm sorry, like, you've

13:34

got a madman with a

13:36

gun who is threatening to

13:38

kill innocent people, Caleb. Yeah,

13:40

but what I think we're

13:43

all missing is, right? He's

13:45

innocent until proven guilty, is

13:47

he? He is holding people

13:49

up at gun points. Because

13:52

he is fighting against the

13:54

press for saying that he

13:56

did it. They're saying it.

14:10

Yes, the man in the

14:12

maroon shirt. Do you think

14:14

that builders like Jonas Oldacre

14:16

being murdered will affect the

14:18

government's house building targets? So

14:21

the question is, I mean,

14:23

is this going to be

14:25

for Justin Rao, Member of

14:27

Parliament for Buckingham at Bletch,

14:29

will these builder murders affect

14:31

government house building targets? That's

14:33

what the gentleman asked. And

14:40

you've got to think he

14:42

killed that guy? You don't?

14:44

I don't think he killed

14:46

that guy. I think he's

14:48

getting now off police units

14:50

actually on the rooftops, surrounding

14:52

Mammantu Swords. And I'm just

14:54

wondering, Michael, if they have

14:56

line of sight on Hector

14:58

in there. And you've got that

15:01

guy in England, right? He's

15:03

like, taking it to the

15:05

car and lead snob. So I

15:07

hope he's going to get

15:09

more coming to... We don't

15:11

get what he says. Oh, go,

15:14

go, go, go, go, go,

15:16

go. The whole thing is,

15:18

corrosive, is one of two sources.

15:20

Simple, you should fast, you

15:22

ask questions, let's say. That's not

15:25

what we do in this

15:27

country. That is not what

15:29

we're in this country. We're all

15:31

right. Everyone's going to pick

15:33

and pick me, and we

15:35

believe, all this. Oh, my! Oh,

15:37

good shot. It's

15:41

not fair. No, no, he's on

15:43

side because the right back is

15:45

playing him on. Not the football.

15:48

Is this about the mouse again?

15:50

They said they'd call for a

15:53

humane release. No, not the mouse.

15:55

The siege. Oh. Yeah, I mean,

15:57

of course it's not fair. It's

16:00

an armed siege, Sherlock. Yes, but

16:02

I'm not there. That's what's not

16:05

fair. They're not going to let

16:07

you attend, mate. It's a potential

16:09

hostage situation, not a birthday party.

16:12

Welcome to Blackheath, everyone, in Southeast

16:14

London. And I have to say,

16:16

it's about as tranquil as London

16:19

gets. We're currently looking out on

16:21

the expanse of Blackheath. It's a

16:24

big flat heathland type park, really,

16:26

lots of people playing football. A

16:28

cricket over there, tennis courts behind

16:31

me, people walking their dogs, coming

16:33

back from work, and yeah, we

16:35

are hopefully going to get a

16:38

piece of this Norwood build a

16:40

case action, but not quite sure

16:42

what the master detective has in

16:45

mind. Now that's where you tell

16:47

me. Nope, fine. Well, I'm definitely

16:49

not getting an air fryer now.

16:51

I mean, look what happens. One

16:54

minute. All is fine. You're living

16:56

in Blackheath, not care in the

16:58

world. Then you get an air

17:01

fryer and before you know it,

17:03

you've chopped up a builder, you're

17:05

on the run from the authorities

17:07

and now you hold up in

17:09

a landmark London tourist attraction and

17:11

a standoff with our police. Makes

17:13

you think of what exactly? Is

17:15

it out? Like, the smallest things

17:17

in life can set off these

17:19

massive events, they're just, you know,

17:21

I mean... This is huge, isn't

17:23

it? People will say, oh, do

17:25

you remember the siege of Madam

17:27

Two Swords in 2025? Oh yeah,

17:29

I remember that. I was, you

17:32

know, I was at uni

17:34

and your mother was working

17:36

down the street from it,

17:38

weren't you loved? Sorry, who

17:40

on earth are these characters?

17:42

No, I'm just, I'm providing

17:45

a sense of the gravity

17:47

of events of events, Sherlock,

17:49

okay? People remember this shit.

17:51

What sort of events do

17:53

you remember this? 9-11 then

17:55

the London bombings 7-7 I

17:57

think that was and that

18:00

The police will handle it.

18:02

Just focus on the task

18:04

at hand. It was a

18:06

giraffe. What? It was a

18:08

giraffe. No, it was a

18:10

bloke, mate. It was a

18:12

suicide bomber. No, the establishment.

18:15

It wasn't the toilet of

18:17

anandos. It was a giraffe.

18:19

Ah, giraffe, yeah. Sorry. We

18:21

should be there. The police

18:23

will handle it. Just focus

18:25

on the task at hand.

18:27

They won't. They'll kill an

18:29

innocent man. Yeah, innocent men

18:32

don't arm themselves and march

18:34

into Waxworth museums taking hostages.

18:36

This one does. Another thing.

18:38

I don't appreciate being dragged

18:40

from Baker Street all the

18:42

way to Blackie. Literally the

18:44

opposite side of London. To

18:47

then hear you say, oh,

18:49

we should be there. We

18:51

must review the crime scene.

18:53

I must be sure. I

18:55

must be able to provide

18:57

the police with an alternative.

18:59

Yeah, they're going to want

19:02

to hear that, right now.

19:04

It's their job to hear

19:06

it. Yeah, I mean. Sure,

19:08

it is also their job

19:10

to shoot Hector McFarland in

19:12

the head, so... There she

19:14

is. Sherene? Sherene McFarland, right

19:17

there. Where? Where I expected

19:19

her to be, on her

19:21

way back from work. Come...

19:23

Ahh. It's a lot of

19:25

paparazzi around her mate. Are

19:27

you surprised? No, not one

19:29

bit. Pick up the pace.

19:32

Oh, hi again, everyone, as

19:34

I said. In Blackhe. Blackheath

19:36

is of course is, oh

19:38

shit, and you fell over,

19:40

Blackheath is the home of

19:42

Hector McFarland, which is where

19:44

the missing, presumed dead, Jonas

19:47

Oldacre was contracted for his

19:49

building work, I just, bloody

19:51

hell. We're just about to

19:53

speak to Sharon's here if

19:55

we can... Okay, wow, we're

19:57

going straight into the paparazzi,

21:38

That seems insensitive. Thank you.

21:40

Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, God

21:42

Hector, what have you done?

21:44

He's taken some hostages in

21:47

a London tourist attraction. She

21:49

was being literal, mate. Sharine,

21:51

could we, could we, could

21:53

we see the kitchen, maybe?

21:55

a bit of a mess,

21:57

still under construction obviously and

21:59

we... haven't been allowed to

22:02

touch it for a good week.

22:04

Yeah, a bit of a building

22:06

site, isn't it? But it

22:08

looks, lots of potential.

22:10

Cornelia's kitchens? The

22:13

name of his company,

22:15

of Jonas' company. Right. Do

22:17

you recall what the

22:19

police took away for

22:21

evidence? Mostly Jonas' tools. They

22:24

took his van, too. as it

22:26

was parked on the drive. And

22:28

the hammer was in the van? No,

22:30

it was on the counter there, in

22:32

the kitchen. Jonas had left it with

22:35

the documents he had for Hector

22:37

to process at work. The will? Jonas

22:39

Old Acres Will, yeah? Yeah. Then over here

22:41

is where he was doing the extension.

22:44

No. Sorry? We're not done. How did

22:46

you know the documents were in the

22:48

kitchen? Hector said he took them first

22:50

thing in the morning, to his work.

22:52

Yeah, but I was up first to

22:55

let Jonas in. Hector was showering.

22:57

Mrs. McFarlane. Shireen. It's

22:59

very important. You relay this

23:01

information to me with as

23:04

much accuracy as possible. Mm-hmm.

23:06

On the morning of Jonas

23:08

Oldacre's disappearance, you got up

23:10

at what time? Six a.m. Same every

23:13

morning. I do yoga in the lounge.

23:15

What time does Jonas usually

23:17

arrive? Usually seven. That morning

23:19

it was six thirty. Why? Well,

23:22

he didn't say, but the yoga session,

23:24

the video is 45 minutes long, so

23:26

I just quickly let him in and

23:28

he got on with it. You finished

23:30

the session, and you at some point

23:32

saw the documents on this countertop. I

23:35

did. I came through to make a

23:37

coffee, and the documents were right there.

23:39

Here? Yeah. How were they presented? Well,

23:41

they were folded open on the

23:43

last page, because, well, that's how I

23:45

knew it was for Hector. So the

23:47

signature box for the solicitor. In

23:50

this case, Hector. was presented... With a

23:52

pen beside it, yeah, and he put

23:54

the hammer on it as a paperweight,

23:56

probably because the extension's still drafting it.

23:58

Whoa, stop, what? The ham! It was...

24:01

Wait, he didn't have blood on it or

24:03

anything. No, no, Shireen. The hammer

24:06

was on the documents. That's

24:08

a paperweight, yeah. Is

24:10

that... Have I said something wrong? No.

24:13

Hector comes down. He

24:16

sees the signature box. He knows the form as

24:18

he's drafted it the night before, so he's

24:20

not going to read through. He moves

24:22

the hammer. His prints go

24:24

on it. And he

24:26

signs. Shireen,

24:30

take me through the rest of your husband's

24:32

movements that morning. Okay, so... He

24:34

had a late night, the night before,

24:37

with work. With Jonas asking him about

24:39

this will. He

24:41

wanted to help him out. A bit of a

24:43

side gig, I suppose, to reduce the cost of

24:45

all this. He

24:47

was a little behind that morning, so

24:49

he put his coffee in his takeaway cup,

24:52

and then he put the documents in

24:54

his briefcase. Mm -hmm. And he went

24:56

to his bike. He would have then cycled

24:58

to the station. Where is his bike

25:00

stored? It's round the side. Show

25:03

me. He

25:07

didn't do the lock for the storage, and

25:09

his bike is in here. Did you see

25:11

him leave? No. You said

25:13

goodbye inside? Yeah. Sure, look.

25:15

Yes, Watson? Look at this,

25:17

on the floor. Ah, yes. What

25:20

do we have here? A

25:22

very small bit of plastic.

25:24

Yes, moulded and adjoining a

25:26

gauze shield. Most likely fitting

25:28

a fan to expel air.

25:31

Is that from his bike? Was

25:33

it tampered with? No, not at

25:35

all. Shireen, are you aware of

25:37

what an angle grinder is? It's

25:40

a saw. That's what they say any

25:42

used on the body. That's right.

25:44

It's a handheld circular saw. Two

25:46

grips, one at the rear, one

25:48

at the front. The police report

25:50

states that they found a disposed

25:53

bloodstained blade for it, and a

25:55

new blade had been fitted poorly,

25:57

and the angle grinder itself had

25:59

been damaged in the... process. And that's why

26:01

they think he did that. Because it

26:04

looked... It appeared amateurish. Someone

26:06

disposed of the evidence and

26:08

refitted a new blade to

26:10

cover their tracks, but did it poorly.

26:12

But this here, the small plastic molding

26:15

would fit the damage depicted

26:17

in the report. So the

26:19

angle grinder, like the hammer,

26:21

was left in a location

26:23

that would require Hector to

26:25

touch it. To transfer his

26:27

prince. I

26:30

look so short because I'm next to

26:32

you. I'm not that short in

26:34

real life. Yes. Hey look, there's

26:37

us. Good sake, I look so

26:39

short because I'm next to you.

26:41

I'm not that short in real

26:43

life. This is why I should

26:45

do more case with Marianna. Got

26:47

my hair's looking a bit long

26:49

there too, could do with a

26:52

cut. Go to the usual place

26:54

though, can I? All closed off,

26:56

because I've got a little gunmen

26:58

here. Sorry,

27:01

who are you texting? An

27:03

associate. So, Mariana? Different kind

27:05

of associate. Right, could you

27:07

elaborate? Yes, actually. Really? Hey,

27:09

where you go? And we

27:11

just got back. I'm going

27:14

to 29 Marlobone Road. And

27:16

so are you. That's right.

27:18

Look, the siege. It's opposite

27:20

Madden two swords. Why are

27:22

we going there? Show. For

27:25

God's sake. Sherlock,

27:30

please. Just don't do

27:32

anything stupid, all right?

27:34

Why not? Well, A.

27:37

Madam Two sort is

27:39

right there. Hector could

27:41

be pointing that thing

27:44

out the window for

27:46

all week, though. Doubtful.

27:48

And B, there's police

27:50

everywhere. Yes. And

27:53

so there should be. This

27:55

way. Some identification, please, you too,

27:57

Mr Watson. Oh, Mr. Is it?

27:59

Sorry? No, nothing. There you

28:01

go. Driver's license has a

28:03

swind and address, but I'm

28:06

going to get it changed.

28:08

Also, there's a blonde streak

28:10

in my hair because of a

28:13

stag this way. Okay. Certainly.

28:15

Ooh. This is something. Yes,

28:17

quite. Have you ever seen

28:19

so many guns? Well, I'd

28:21

hope you have. Otherwise, the

28:23

British Army is in terrible

28:25

shape. No, I know that.

28:27

I've seen guns in an

28:29

army context. That's a different

28:31

context. You know, that's a

28:33

natural environment for guns. This

28:35

is London. Yeah, it's like

28:37

when a bird flies into

28:39

your house. You're like, Jesus

28:41

Christ, look at that thing. What

28:44

the fuck am I going to do?

28:46

What am I going to do? But

28:48

ultimately, it's just a bird, but in

28:50

a different context, you know, it's

28:52

the context. Please stop. Right

28:54

through here? Right through here. There

28:57

you go chance. Hello. You're

28:59

smirking. Stop smirking.

29:01

Oh, this? This isn't a smirk.

29:03

Yes it is? No it's not. What

29:06

is it then? I'm smiling. It's

29:08

because I'm pleased to see you.

29:10

We both know that's not

29:12

the reason you're smiling, Sherlock.

29:15

Fine. I may be a

29:17

smidge excited. Is that a crime,

29:19

Gwen? I realize you may be

29:22

a little rusty for that question.

29:24

Feel free to consult your policing

29:26

practices handbook. What did I say?

29:28

You said best behaviour. Exactly. Of

29:30

course, how rude of me. John

29:32

Watson, this is Gwen. Gwen? This

29:34

is John. Oh, nice to meet

29:36

you Gwen. Nice to meet you,

29:38

Mr. Watson. It's... Sorry, I never

29:40

do this, you know, but... It's actually

29:43

Doctor... Doctor, Dr. Watson. Oh my

29:45

goodness, I do apologize. I'm so

29:47

sorry. No, no, no, not at

29:49

all. I know how you feel

29:51

because it's not actually Gwen. Oh,

29:53

is it not? No. It's Dame

29:56
