15.129 - 16.672 Dr. John Watson

Yeah, missed the most important bit, mate.

0

17.133 - 22.343 Sherlock Holmes

Oh. Patreon.com forward slash Sherlock and Co. Thanks.

0

27.402 - 54.473 Sophie Kretidis

Previously on Sherlock and Co. I, along with Sophie Kretidis, became the, well, um... The leading experts in the world for ancient Greek. So Sophie sent me a message about six weeks ago and called me into the college. So I asked her what's going on and she says she had had a meeting that day with a man, Harold Latimer. So what happened to Harold Latimer?

0

54.858 - 81.246 Sophie Kretidis

The question, rather, Dr. Watson, is, um... Is what happened to Sophie Critides? She had totally disappeared. Her brother had been asking of her too, but even he had become uncontactable. I informed the police, and the last that was recorded of her was at Gatwick Airport, boarding a flight. To Mykonos.

82.167 - 88.096 Unknown

So, this happened to Milas a couple of days ago and Sophie was taken three weeks ago.

88.116 - 94.826 Sherlock Holmes

We must trace the movements that Milas was able to give us. He said himself they were vague. They were detailed enough, thank you.

94.866 - 102.938 Dr. John Watson

He doesn't know for a fact it's Mykonos, does he? He woke up in Athens, didn't he? But what, he came back here for...

103.34 - 127.103 Sherlock Holmes

Mycroft, or because he was certain he was taken out to this island? The man can interpret many things, Watson, with the right set of components to guide his well-trained mind. He knew of Sophie, and he knew, albeit vaguely, of Latimer. We have only his blind recollections, and if that's where we must begin our case, then so be it. Observe the sharp gravel, Watson.

Chapter 2: What happened to Sophie Critides?

127.123 - 129.145 Dr. John Watson

Yes, mate, no cars parked up.

0

130.12 - 149.365 Giorgios Melas

No cars. But we do have our house. Yes. A weird place for a house. Well, I can have a quick... Don't move. You see someone? Do not move. What is it? Blood, Watson.

0

149.486 - 150.627

Blood. Blood.

0

155.281 - 170.476 Unknown

Welcome to part four of this five-part blockbuster that is The Greek Interpreter. This episode contains a few things, as you would expect. Check in the episode description for trigger warnings, but as always, I can pretty much guarantee swearing.

0

174.32 - 202.927 Sherlock Holmes

Blood, Watson. Blood. Oh, shit. I can see some on the handle. Yes, and on the floor of this corridor. Let me see. Let's maybe check that the house is empty first. Whoever's blood this is was dragged out of here. Jesus. By their ankles. How do you know that? The nails dug into the flooring here. You see the scraping?

203.768 - 204.068 Giorgios Melas

Yeah.

206.071 - 206.351

God.

207.653 - 213.621 Sherlock Holmes

And we have a very sad clue as to who that individual may have been.

214.867 - 222.227 Giorgios Melas

A hair. A long hair. Yes. Sophie Critides.

Chapter 3: How do Sherlock and Watson trace the movements of Milas?

338.881 - 344.33 Sherlock Holmes

Indeed. To house their captive. Come this way.

0

344.951 - 349.038 Dr. John Watson

Through here? Yes. Are we going to check out the Moon King's riddle stone?

0

349.539 - 378.555 Sherlock Holmes

I fear we couldn't even if we wished to. But first, something more important than that. Yeah? This room. See the mattress? Mattress on the floor, yeah. I found these. What's... OK, couple of fingernails, hair or two. What's this? Skin flakes, I'd say. They held her in here. Hmm, yeah. This whole time, do you think? The whole three weeks of her disappearance.

0

379.016 - 389.629 Sherlock Holmes

I would say it's most likely this was a base. Sophie has become collateral. If she couldn't lead them to the treasure, they'd never let her go. What's this?

0

390.73 - 390.951 Giorgios Melas

What?

391.812 - 399.742 Sherlock Holmes

On the wall, by the... Something ever so small. Scratched into the wall.

400.463 - 401.384 Unknown

Let's have a look.

405.669 - 426.37 Sherlock Holmes

Is that... Greek? Yes. Like, uh... A symbol. A mathematical one. For what? Integral. Meaning? Meaning the summation beneath a curve. It's a suggestion. Suggestion to what? Beneath. To look under.

427.491 - 430.235 Unknown

Get up! Okay, okay.

Chapter 4: What clues lead to the Moon King's treasure?

0

757.6 - 761.587 Unknown

I mean, there are no cooler people right now than you and I. Eh? Cheers.

0

765.253 - 775.711 Sherlock Holmes

You have sun cream on your nose? Yeah, it's hot. Okay. You have visible sun cream on your nose. Oh, where? Here? No, to the left. Not that far. Up a bit.

0

776.332 - 783.304 Unknown

Let me just... All right, steady. Ow, ow, ow, you pinched it. I didn't. A wipe. Get off. You've got it. You have got it. Thank you.

0

784.381 - 807.447 Sherlock Holmes

What were you saying about being cool? Just... I mean, what do we do here, exactly? We know the hunters have the stone translated, hence why they defaced it. With a two-day head start. Could they have identified the island? Probably. Would they have got there by now? If not, they're certainly on their way. We just have to hope that Sophie will be with them.

807.467 - 815.446 Unknown

Yeah, that wasn't enough blood to suggest murder, but... At the very least, a fight. A real scrap. She's putting up a real fight to not be taken with them again.

815.826 - 828.56 Sherlock Holmes

So, we need to get to the island, decipher the riddle and locate the tomb. And get the gold mask before they do. No. We wait in the tomb. Ideally with police and capture Latimer and, in turn, rescue Sophie.

829.481 - 832.144 Dr. John Watson

Yeah, that too. Good stuff, this.

832.464 - 856.341 Sherlock Holmes

How do we get to the island? How far do you reckon it is from us on that map? Fourteen. Fourteen kilometres, I'd say. Eight and a half miles. That's a long swim. Have you looked up any tour groups or ferries that go there? Tour groups? To the volcanic rock in the sea? So that's a no, then? That is a no. What do you want to do? Speak to my brother. You think he can answer the riddles?

Chapter 5: How does the Moon King's riddle guide the characters?

1453.551 - 1456.775 Unknown

Steps. There's steps up onto the island.

0

1457.095 - 1468.005 Sherlock Holmes

And it shall lead us to the next line of the riddle, Watson. They get narrower and steeper as they go. And look.

0

Chapter 6: Who is Selene and what role does she play in the story?

1468.586 - 1473.252 Sherlock Holmes

What? Someone has lost their footing on this. Recently?

0

1474.034 - 1480.462 Unknown

Very recently. The water still holds their print. They arrived recently.

0

1480.482 - 1484.007 Giorgios Melas

I think we're in with a shot here, big guy.

0

1485.369 - 1486.991 Unknown

So do I, John.

0

1487.011 - 1487.852 Giorgios Melas

So do I.

1494.194 - 1496.816 Dr. John Watson

be over a hundred.

1496.997 - 1505.484 Sherlock Holmes

That's a lot for an ancient Greek bloke to hammer into the side of a cliff. It sounds like it's also a lot for a former army man to scale.

1507.046 - 1511.09 Unknown

Excuse me, wounded soldier is more accurate. I still have a hole in my chest.

1511.75 - 1514.173 Sherlock Holmes

Not quite. It's been stitched shut.
