Open wide, here comes the speed boat Get How about you oxidate yourself out of my hotel room? How about that, mate? John! Goodness. Why are you doing this? Terribly cruel. This man just committed murder multiple times in front of my eyes. Mariana and I are just murdering a few pesky toxins Thanks to the cold press Cornelius, get the cherries out of my face. Oh Yeah. Oh. Time for you to leave. Mariana, call the Greek police. The Greek police. Yes, call them. I'm sure you speak Greek so just Do it. Call the police on Sherlock's brother? Yes the John This is my brother Mcroft Yes A. Sorry, who's brother again Mine You didn't U, you you you never No, I didn't Sry Oh why? why didn't I was thinking about this on the flight, turning it over in my mind, kneading it into some salient dough of understanding. and I have decided to coin a new psychological term of deferred disclosure syndrome. Very good. Sherlock, can we? just? Because I thought to myself, is there a word for having not mentioned something a long time ago for relatively small social discomfort, but by having not mentioned it, it remains so. It remains unmentioned for months and years and the once tiny act of omission swells into a grotesque wieldy mass of anxiety and dread that now one must absolutely not mention at all because of the scale of what it has become simply by never becoming in the first moment Sherlock Sorry, I've found it all rather distressing Distressing. Yes I'm sorry to hear that. Oh, me too John? No. No, this is not distressing. No, what he did to me this evening, that was distressing. Well, if it makes you feel better, I had to stay aboard the Poseidon and hold Mihle's collaborators at gunpoint until I was informed he was with the British Secret intelligence Service and it was safe for me to escape. Had to What What are we doing? Nobody had to do any of those things. Yes, he did. I'm not talking to you. He owes me a favour Oed. It has been repaid, has it not In part, no, mycroft, You asked me for the favour, I fulfilled it. Your story is missing its opening chapter, dear boy. Oh shush. The part where I delivered your Faday bag. Yes, you brought it to me. Then you asked for a repayment in kind and I provided it. Alost knew you'd do this. Yet you still indulged. Is that kindness, ignorance, or stupidity on your part? A it's arrogance and selfishness on yours. Yet another stain on your character. I'd rather have a stain on my character than a cherry stain on my teeth. So gullible. Damn it, Mcroft. Don't call her. Why shouldn't I? Because she doesn't want to hear from you. No, she doesn't want to hear from you. Quite right. The main reason why I don't call. Guy. Do she know you're a spy? H? Of course she does. Does she know you're a detective? Guy She knows everything. Like that you killed that Moran fellow He killed him. He tried to kill me. you kill people all the time, Mcroft. In defence of myself and the Cown, Sherlock. Yes, well, the Cown wanted to knight me. And Mummy wanted to give me Elgrove. How dare you? She did? No, she didn't. Yes. she did, because you're the eldest boy. Because I'm the favourite boy A you ps? Oh Oh you so bloody vane. If you look half curs me. you'd be too Hey, are you okay? Um Hi Al I think so. That's good You it I mean, is it Good to be okay after you've seen a very tall, handsome, posh man shoot some people in Greece all the while recovering from being shot yourself All the while trying to understand why you didn't know your best friend had a brother. H, I don't even know anymore. Me neither How is this? What are you doing? Oh, um exfoliating. Trying to get that Miccroft home soft sheine, are't you? I am now. All right, what's he got you using? Pumise. Pumise What's that? Oh, it's an exfoliating sponge from volcanic rock Lord Are they still arguing? Um Yeah, it looks that way. Great sound proof balcony doors. I know, right? They seem quite animated. M They do look Really similar from this angle. Yeah. He's like if you forced Sherlock into a strict workout routine for like two years. And fixed his posture? Yeah. and did his hair with? Yeah a fantastic smelling product? Yes. Oh my go, doesn't he smell amazing? So good. I mean, I didn't really appreciate the the whole kidnapping thing b Yeah, it's kind of like kind of musky, but with also, you know, like a light kind of citrus quality. Great skin. Amazing skin. Oh shit, chit, chit shit, they're coming this way Hello Hi, how's your brother? I would like to apologise for not mentioning him until this point and I would like to make it up to you by bringing you along to the Diogenes Club tomorrow Does he have a gun pointed at your back? I do not Currently, no. why? Because you are talking as if he does. Sherlock, it's okay. We don't have to go to that place if you don't want to. Oh, please No I want to. It's my favourite place Well now now I'm curious. Please don't be. I think ye, I think you should make it up to us. so yeah, let's go to this Diogen's place tomorrow No, it's so nice of you, Sherlock. Goodness sake Wow, Wow, okay, okay, this is better than a quiet room. Yeahes, sorry. whyy was nobody speaking in that room? In essence, it's a meditative practice. Hm Yes. Do the whiskey cocktails aid their deep meditation? Wh That's very immature. They welcome, Sherla. That pool you're swimming in has a dead sea base water. Magnesium, calcium, bromides build the softness on your skin. I feel nothing but the urge to punch you. The jacuzzi, however, they opted for an Icelandic spring profile For collagen support, hair loss, etceta. Sorry, this is dead sea water in this pool. In part. There's also a green tea antioxidant ultra filtered infusion. Oh come on. I'm telling you, John. And what, you can actually feel that. Can you? becauseuse I tell you what Minecroft it looks a look like just water to me, eate Oh my lord, thy is so good Oh skin, Oh my Godd, feel how soft that is. Oh goodness. We just gotta put the mic on the side there. Oh You seem to like it, John. Oh Yes, definitely. Good. Because I have just enrolled you all as members. Seriously? Absolutely, John, you fine man you. You are absolutely bang on the money I dropped you into a rather tricky spot and the Diogenese Cub is how I atone for my recklessness. Right, wow. well, thank you. I don't know how often I'll be popping out to the Greek islands. Oh, they're everywhere. The Diogenes? Oh yes. Absolutely. Wow, Okay, in London? Vy much so. Just what diogenes Ieno you would have want to an exclusive chain members club. Great. Thank you. Yeahay I suppose I have to ask. Oh, Mihael. Yes, a rather bothersome brutish billionaire. Lots of crime, cash and all the trimmings that come with that and men of his tastes. I was tasked by my employer to get him back to Blighty. Put it that way. Right Right Can Can I ask what you do? No A Mikale and those other guys Baddies Baddies. I don't know the words, do I? The baddest of baddies, John? I promise. Yes. Reassuring Oh the temperature is here too, it's just. They do great water climate zoning here. That's key for absorption. Yeah, no kidding. Wow, this is just A man, Sherlock, you were so wrong, mate. This is the best club resort, whatever it is ever. Hey. Did you just smash me? Me? No, not at all. I was merely practicing my front crawl, all the while microducing your fatient pws with stupid geothermal with a spray nonsisense for vain idiots He doesn't seem to like it here. No, of course not. I mean, we talked about getting rest and relaxation. This is exactly that. Yes, well, I don't think he believes in such a thing. For all our genetic similarities, Sherlock and I are very, very different people. Long term relationship, yes, but he's unemployed. She believes him to be a high earner. Wrong? I'm right se your eyes. I am using my eyes. Phone on the table, but look at the Krease profile on his shorts, phone in his pocket, two, two phones. I can count. he has a job. One work, one person. Therelair's repair work on his glasses and his head eye is melting in the Greek sun. I think a similar thing happened to Icarus Can you afford better? No, he can't, because he's financially impaired. I merely pointed out that he was employed. I said nothing of his bank balance. Besides, you've played it into my hand. I have done no such thing. Okay, drinks. U As I observed, it's not a long term relationship in a conventional sense. How so? Sh your workings or it doesn't count? They've been together for a while. Exactly what I said? Yes, but they have also been separated in between Unlikely. Likely, actually. G guysys sorry, the Barman wants to know your order. Their familiarity. The way their fingers interlock her photo background on her phone. Yes, all long term indicators. But look at the level of grooming But she sat to his left when he clearly has hearing difficulties on that side, yet he doesn't want to make her aware of that. He's probing a scar of hers. Earlier he asked how it happened, meaning it occurred in time apart. and now, ready? Ready what? Her phone is ringing. No. Another man? Another man, yes. But not how you'd think. Who is it Their son. How do you know? Because he just got the same miss call see him checking. They haven't told him they're back together. Correct. They can't answer because he'll know that not one of his parents but both are in fact in Mykonos. in Mykonos noodling at the bar of the Diogenes club interlocking fingers stroking one another's thinning hair Fumbling into old sexually familiar routines. Yes, alright, thank you. A rather rushed summation, I feel. It's not about how you feel, it's about what you see. Now I get why you couldn't crack the manorhouse case I saw pop up last week. Clearly out of your depth. Wrong. I soldved it. W wait, wait, wait. We didn't have a mananor house grind. We didn't need to. I solved it from the details that were available to me You didn't. It was Adams. H I guess. An exact determination, actually? Fine. These two men coming towards us. Can we please? Oh dear brother, aad Vague, you do mean the computer programmer and his chum. A software engineer I'd say, seeing as this is a high end resort old chap. What do you make of the other? The chum? Are we saying he's what, a coder because Posture I guess. Yeah, I don't see much else that Archaeologist E so sad there. Wouldn't you agree? Very much so. A widower and having a child to raise. Children, my dear boy. Children. hold on, hold on hold the hell on. What what? How is that bloke an archaeologist? How is he not, Watson? These are your colleagues in detection I know. Goodness me. Sorry, Bow, come on. Consistent abrasions on his fingers, cargo trousers in a high end beach resort, but when you look at the wearing on the knees, the multiple soil traces not just in his fingernails, but on his very very tann forearms, a few dust collections in his hair. He also has a canvas field bag, all of which means he is working nearby. This is Greece after all He is talking with his hands s like's indicating some kind of trench cut in the earth, perhaps. He has twice gripped and examined the polished volcanic stone on the bar, so geology is at least an area of interest. But But how How is he a widower with children? Wedding band removed. Yeah. Divorce or work? Both valid, but not in this instance. What's around his neck? U silver chain. With Ah H wedding band. Would be a rather amicable divorce, wouldn't you say, for such reverential preservation of the wedding band And children, well, he's working away from home, that we know, but he checks the phone rather vigorously The archaeological field is not really known as an urgent line of work. be a grandparent or child minder in text conversation with him. On his keys, there's a goggly eyed monster truck key ring that says Daniel. Yeah Ah, but his canvas field bag has the initials PJ, so Daniel is most likely his boy and traces of the girl you can see wrapped around his watch Princess Hirband Indeed An anotherother drink here, please mate. Does he pay you for recording No. but John's not even here and he's made you take the mic and record our conversation. That's because it finds its way into potential cases. Ha. So you're after a case. Yes, and I got one last night. Thank you very much. Hardly a case. Well, I didn't get to see much of it. Just held some people hostage on a boat until you told me otherwise John got to witness the main event. I appreciate the favour. As you should And I appreciate what you did in Chizick as you should This outs you, you know Out me. Does it indeed. That you're a spy? The if I feel compromise Sherlock, then I shall delete it sooner die than lose his podcast. He very nearly dead. Mhm. And he's recovering well. Well enough And you mind is a little . Yes But you're not too fun with that I am her, and you are him, in that respect. An accurate observation, at last. U pererhaps that's why I find mum so exhausting She's just another Sherlock Holmes That's a joke, little one. I know I like your friends. H and they like you, I fear. What's to fear about that, exactly? You're never around. When needed. Yet you called me for a favour.
