Chapter 1: What is the fallout from The Stockbroker's Clerk?
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, miss the most important bit, mate. Oh, patreon.com forward slash Sherlock and Co. Thanks.
Why do you shoo me away, Mr. Eccles? Because that is a web, sir, that I do not wish you to fly into. Why not? Because of he that nestles in its center. Sharp, watchful eyes. Long, probing legs. And deep fangs, Mr. Holmes, with a venom. A venom that will kill us all.
Hi, everyone. Things have kind of spun out of control a little bit. I'm hoping to keep the episodes regular, but we have a lot going on with the scale of our current cases. I think that's the best way I can put it something happened in this adventure we thought we had um solved in then a few more things came to pass which means this for part one we we don't actually get to the case um
Yeah, we meet the person that brings it to us, but you'll understand what I mean when we get to the end. Welcome, sorry, welcome to the adventure of the six Napoleons. This is part one of four.
John? John? John? You've left your microphone.
What? I can't hear a word you are saying. What exactly are you trying to tell me?
My name is Dr. John Watson, once of the British Army Northumberland Fusilier Regiment, now a true crime podcaster based in central London. I don't have much experience in criminology, so this is mostly a record of how I met possibly the most brilliant and bizarre person I have ever and will ever know. Join me as I document the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. I said I was coming down.
OK, well, I can't hear that if you literally shut your apartment door.
I was putting trousers on. Ah, hello, Mikey Mike. How are you doing? Did she treat you all right? How are you doing, listeners? Give me that. What are you doing? Get off.

Chapter 2: Who is Sebastian Moran and why is he significant?
Out here. Where? On the street. No, leave phones behind. I was at the Savoy and... Oh, what were you doing at the Savoy?
Did you spend £500 at the Savoy? This isn't an expense claim, Mariana.
What's with the bag? Just shush. I was at the Savoy meeting a somebody. I was meeting a somebody and after I was walking and there was a statue of Michael Faraday. The statue of Michael Faraday on Savoy Place. Victorian banquet. Right, OK. Michael Faraday, the scientist. Faraday. He showed us that electricity, magnetism and motion, they are the same phenomenon.
He demonstrated that a conductive enclosure blocks external electric fields. Cool. Yeah, I mean, good for him. This, John Mariana, is a Faraday bag. I just bought it. That was the £500 purchase. So, for a duffel bag, what the hell is wrong with you? It is a Faraday bag.
It blocks all electromagnetic signals like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, cellular, RFID from reaching or leaving devices placed inside. Okay, why are we doing that exactly? Everything is going inside. What? No, why? Because we are compromised, Watson. Someone is listening to us. Yeah. Yeah, hundreds of thousands of people are listening, I think. Thank you very much.
In 221A, in 221B, it... The spider is close. Watson, I can feel it. We have starved him of his means of survival.
Ah.
What are you talking about? Mawson and Williams. Don't you understand? M. Remember? John Scott Eccles. You're a stereologist. Yes. John Scott Eccles. He said... No, I know what he said. Then he was killed. Then he was killed. Well, he died. Watson. I'm just saying. He had an aneurysm. Or have we forgotten that? We have not forgotten his final message to me. M. And now...
We have this man, right at the top of this towering megastructure of crime, corruption, violence, murder. And he just happens to have the surname... Moran. Sebastian Moran. Moran.

Chapter 3: What happens when Sherlock and Watson meet Mariana?
M. Oh, we've done this, mate. You thought Milverton was M. Wrong. You did. Milverton mentioned the spider to me himself. You said we were looking for James. James M. Remember? Shot a bloke in the face right in front of our eyes. Would he do his own dirty work?
We've seen from the stockbroker's clerk that, firstly, he absolutely would not, and secondly, he is more than happy to kill those who tamper in his affairs. Items in the bag. Now. Right, I'll do phone. I'll do laptop. But this? This is just recording noises onto an SD card, mate. Deal. Everything in. What's your plan? My plan is to follow the star. Follow the star. Shut up. What are you doing?
I'm operating. Cupping a sleeping patient's breasts, Dr. Stamford. Highly inappropriate. Highly necessary, actually, for, oh yeah, breast enhancement surgery. Now piss off. Right nipple is a little off, don't you think? I'm not finished. John, don't stare. You're staring. I'm working. I won't be long.
Oh,
God's sake. I put a friend of mine your way, for your services. Yeah, Mr Sinclair with the chronic facial injuries, yeah? I have your notes on it here. Whoa, whoa, whoa, how'd you get that? Deviated nasal bones, compromised airway. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's urgent, so you have to have that done. I'm not criticising your work, there's no need to be so defensive.
Well, you usually do, so... Rotten cheek prominence, facial asymmetry... A fracture, misalignment, chin deviation, restricted mouth opening. Restricted mouth opening? I've done this already, mate. Periorbital facial scarring, fibrotic tethering of skin, and here, scarring formed in relaxed skin tension lines highly visible in repose. Yep. What kind of scars?
Well, when his tension lines were flattened, there were two lesion scars and a... Star? Yeah.
Yeah.
Star scar? Yeah, a patterned depressed cicatricial scar. A focal soft tissue volume loss with dermal tethering. In what? The shape of a star? Correct, yeah. I didn't notice that. All right, did you clamp his buckle fat down and stretch his skin under a bright light? Eh? Because I don't think I heard that bit in the man with the twisted lip. So defensive. So defensive. Oh, just shut up, all right?

Chapter 4: What is the importance of the Faraday bag in the investigation?
G. Oh, crap. It's going up. Top floor. What? This is why we take the stairs. What's at the top floor? Let's see on the senior leadership and commissioner's office. Oh, God. Let's try it.
It'll be just my luck. Just my luck. Honestly, the ping, the doors open and she'll be right there. Literally right there. What the... Gwen, open the door. Sherlock? Ah, you've come to provide assistance. Did I call? I don't remember calling. No, you did not call. Dame Mrs. Ladyship Commissioner. Lady... Please! No. Sherlock? Yes, John? What the hell are you doing?
She's locked me out and I'm trying with the might of my persuasion to get into the office of Gwen Lestrade. What are you doing? I'm watching you do weird stuff, that's what I'm doing. Ah, I've got it. What are you doing? Making a quick call.
Lestrade speaking.
Hello, Gwen. I was just wondering... Bugger! Hello, Gwen.
How the heck are you? No. I'm great, thanks. And yourself? Sherlock, you're not getting access to the crime scene. Why? Because I said so. Well, just say yes then.
No! If you don't want assistance on this case, then just say it.
I don't want assistance on this case.
But I have some constructive feedback on the way the case is being handled by your officers.
