Chapter 1: What happens in the dark tunnel where John was found?
Audiobooks, ad-free early access adventures, mailbag episodes, case file episodes, AMAs, behind-the-scenes micro-adventures authored by Watson himself, a Discord channel with nearly 2,000 chatty little members, merchandise discounts, exclusive events, and... yes. Done. Yeah, missed the most important bit, mate. Oh. Patreon.com forward slash Sherlock and Co. Thanks.
Previously on Sherlock and Co...
Sherlock will visit again. I know he will. He's just... This is all a lot. As you can see by my creepy puffy eyes. Yeah. He's... He's regulating in his own way.
Okay.
Bye, John. Sleep well. I mean, you've been asleep for a week, but... Yep. I miss you. A lot. Jeez, that hair smells fantastic. Dammit. Camden House. Wait, you mean the house across the street? 242 Baker Street? Indeed.
Otherwise known as Camden House.
It's empty.

Chapter 2: Who disturbed the empty house and why is it significant?
So what? The empty house, I feel, has a visitor. So it would appear, Mariana, that somebody inadvertently disturbed the dust and webs that clung to that light shade.
Somebody taller than six foot six. Somebody that could be... Six foot seven.
Six foot seven.
Moran.
He wishes to eliminate me, but his attention has been taken elsewhere. Do you know where? We begin in the dark tunnel where we found John.
All I hear is rushing water.
Traffic noise dulled some time ago. Because we are under Hyde Park, we'll cross this basin and there'll be a culvert for the Westbourne. That will take us into the park itself and...
Here.
And we will see where.

Chapter 3: What clues indicate that a murder has taken place?
Top floor. Fourth window from the left.
Uh-huh. Okay. Um... Okay, what? Oh. Oh. Shit. Is that... Is that what I think it is? All over the window?
Blood. Lots and lots of blood. No sign of entry, nothing on cameras at reception or front door. Still struggling to get an idea on the body as well. Weird. Really bloody weird. Certainly bloody. Not sure I agree with the weird observation. No, there's a dead man in there, Sherlock. He's lost litres and litres of blood.
He's been in there for days and there's no indication of how this even happened. I'm just observing. That is weird.
There's blood on the door handle, here.
Yeah, but from the inside. You think he let the killer in? It's possible. While he was dying? What? The blood is on the interior handle, Gregson, meaning the killer had already struck and the victim here attempted to leave. Let me see.
Something else on the handle, right?
Yes. Matches what is on his right hand. Which is what? A foam. Got anything for us? At all, eh? Any indication of the first strike? Because there's blood everywhere, Sherlock. Like, everywhere. We need to determine the origin of the attack. What are you doing? Let us look at this wound here. Jugular, that's your val for all this blood. We reckon he got it sliced. Yes, well, we don't. Don't we?
No, and we would appreciate it if we could examine the body that we discovered. We shouldn't even be here, but we get a lot of good grace. We are the ones with good grace.

Chapter 4: How does the investigation lead to the discovery of a bomb?
That's... See? Struggling to ID him. Yes, that is rather bad, isn't it?
Did he, like, get a shotgun to the face or something?
This is what you would call being beaten to a pulp. See? All his teeth are here on the floor. This is a nose bone here too. Nasal cavity is completely exposed. Sockets all fractured. Skull is... Don't, don't do that. Very fluid. But it doesn't quite explain the blood. Jugular, mate. Told you, didn't I?
Really? Look at his face.
Well, he doesn't really have a face.
Exactly.
Gregson is right. Jugular. See? But he is also wrong. Not a knife. If we turn him back over... What is it? Such curious little things, aren't they?
What are... Is that a blood clot? What is that?
Certainly not. It's a projectile. A bullet. Identical to the one taken from John's spine. Let me see. Oh, wow. You think it's from Moran? Moran is operating a very bespoke rifle with improvised rounds like these. Take this to your team downstairs, Gregson. Ta, you're coming, yeah? Because I've got to send, you know, the professionals in. Rude. We are professionals. Gregson, bullet downstairs.

Chapter 5: What is the significance of the blood evidence found at the crime scene?
Leave! Now! Sherlock, what are you holding?
It is a tripwire! I... Keep it at this tension. The bathroom door was there.
Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy shit. Okay. Okay. What can I do? Get out. No.
Mariana, leave this whole building right now. I'm not leaving you. I can't hold this. I can't. Tell me what to do. There is nothing to do. It is a metal string attached to a bloody bomb.
You always tell me what to do, and now I would really, really, really like to be told what to do.
Leave! No! We have no time, Mariana. This... is attached to an explosive device. I don't know what to... The moment my strength gives out, which is bloody close, it's over. It's over. I don't know what to do. Take Graham from my pocket. Look after him. Please, please. Tell John I'm sorry. Tell him I love him. And if... He too doesn't make it. I will tell him myself. Please, please, please, no.
And you, Mariana, you live on. You're a great detective. And you can still... What on earth are you doing?
You're right. I am a great detective. Don't touch that. So I will detect my way out of this stupid mess from this stupid evil giant guy who I hate. Mariana, it... Okay, okay. Where is the tension pulling me? It...
Think. I'm holding a wire that is an explosive trigger. Of course, I'm thinking. The tension goes that way, I think. That way? Yes, you're sure? Yes, the device is most likely in that direction. Follow the wire. Oh, it's going into the toilet.

Chapter 6: How do the characters deduce the method of the murder?
Stop valves have to be in a sealed service unit. For each floor, it must be housed in a shared area. Cannot be locked. Cannot be accessible. Only by tools. We need to talk to people. Service door. Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Electrics? No. Gas line? No. Water. Water. Okay. Coming, Sherlock. I'm coming. Don't explode.
I can hear it.
It's filling up. Yes. Go look. Shit. It's coming right back out into the toilet bowl. No. The tamper seal is up. It's in flush mode. What are you doing? Do not touch it. We blow up together or not at all.
Mariana, please.
Do I look like I'm going to abandon you? Do I? Come on. Make your observation. I have made it. And you deduce what?
We blow up together or not at all.
Thank you. I'm going to push the tamper seal down, okay? When the seal closes, the water will fill and hopefully kill this bomb. But if the tamper is connected... I'm actually fully aware of the process required. If you could, please, just... Okay, okay, okay. Pushing it down.
Pushing it down. We're alive. That's a good start. And it's filling, filling fast. Once the device is flooded, in theory the water will render the firing circuit useless. The charge itself may remain intact, but once the casing fills with water... The charge has nowhere to go?
Correct.
