Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
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 Chatterlittle 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. 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?
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.
So, this happened to Milas a couple of days ago and Sophie was taken three weeks ago.
We must trace the movements that Milas was able to give us. He said himself they were vague. They were detailed enough, thank you.
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...
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 Kretidis and Harold Latimer?
Yes, mate, no cars parked up.
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.
Blood. Blood.
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.
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?
Yeah.
God.
And we have a very sad clue as to who that individual may have been.
A hair. A long hair. Yes. Sophie Critides.

Chapter 3: How do Mycroft and Watson plan to trace Sophie’s movements?
Indeed. To house their captive. Come this way.
Through here? Yes. Are we going to check out the Moon King's riddle stone?
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.
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?
What?
On the wall, by the... Something ever so small. Scratched into the wall.
Let's have a look.
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.
Get up! Okay, okay.

Chapter 4: What clues lead to the Moon King's treasure?
I mean...
I mean, there are no cooler people right now than you and I. Eh? Cheers.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yeah, that too. Good stuff, this.
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.

Chapter 5: What is the significance of the riddles and codes in the story?
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? He can answer a very simple question. Which is? May I borrow your yacht, please, dear brother? I see...
This is your villa? Absolutely, dear boy. Sorry, this isn't some kind of luxury Airbnb.
This is actually your home. One of them. For much-needed downtime. You do three jobs a year. It's nearly always downtime. High-risk jobs? Life and death.
Yeah, I don't need reminding of that, to be honest. Is that yours? What? The helicopter out there? Yeah. It is... You want to go for a fly?
I mean, we could just take that, right? No. Why not? Because we need to follow the clues. And they did not have helicopters in ancient Greece. The clues will be in the cliffs and beneath the rocks. And secondly, the island most likely has Latimer and his men on it, and I think they may perhaps hear us coming in that thing, don't you? No. Yacht it is.
So, you want my yacht to solve the riddle, do you? Yes. And you think you can take Latimer? I'm sure of it. You believe you can outwit him not just on the hunt, but in the inevitable confrontation? I don't like the tone of your voice. I don't like the look on your face. What's wrong with the look on my face? What's wrong with the tone of my voice?
Can we just... There is a life case unfolding, gents. Can we just stay on top of the... Holy crap! You have a lobster tank. You have an actual lobster in a tank in your kitchen. Yes, I do. Sherlock. What's his name? Dinner.
His name is Dinner. Sherlock, there is more responsibility here than just borrowing my yacht. You know what that yacht means. Oh, how fantastic. A responsibility lecture. It's been a while since one of these. I shouldn't have to lecture. And I shouldn't have to beg to borrow my brother's yacht.
Hey, what's this? You like it? This is a microphone. It is. Brand new version of yours, actually. Full spec. Plus, I've got a windshield, a pop shield here, and a pro vocal booth that folds into... Wait for it.
