Previously on show what your name toby.

he's a specialist search dog, retired. That's right. The sign of four went to the temple to find IT. IT wasn't there. Then they came for shorter.

Only a handful of people knew that shelter area.

indeed. And according to shorto, our killer is White exact.

I remember what happened in their agent. Jones, a White guy, stood up and left.

and we haven't seen him since.

Thomas friends reported IT didn't go to the school.

correct? But this incomplete assumption has secured this entire investigation. The boy was telling the truth once a week.

He parked his bike outside, collect the local magazine and distributed to the residents who were paid subscribers. And mr. M, singing, thirty four, eight, five, seven.

What do you think is under here? How they lifted?

Hi, tom is boy.

He's gone.

but he was here. They had somebody here .

against their .

will know this is it's a Chelsea longer has Chelsea fan.

He scratched the flow boards as he was dragged towards the door way.

Where did they drag in to?

I don't know whether it's daily. I go like an intense response to watching shelter die, but i'm just power. Why awake and like three just had spinning with india and dad and bloody dimond and you and the whole longer thing. Bloody diamonds .

at you.

Comments and you and you and you you want some.

They're ready .

for us. OK OK. yeah. sure.

Listening to .

anything interesting? No, just music. Yeah, their music.

lovely, very nice.

That's tem the I G son.

how are you? I'm alright. You okay.

We are fine. Yeah.

john. Yeah, yeah.

Slog through IT when we're done. You sending him home.

What do you mean? You know.

what I mean is naked. I could go to like you. Why this way?

I want you to meet someone who's been instrumental in the case so far and managed to orchestrate an Operation against one of the four.

It'll tell you.

oh.

okay, john, show luck. This is agent Anthony Jones from import.

Hello again, again, jet.

So tough, tough to obviously verbalize given the. Yes, circumstances, the word we found his bike buried in the book garden first. Then, as you ve seen from the crime scene, is toner was being held.

Yeah, it's rough. I know. All right, but but we're at the tip in point. Things are turned in around. Now on the sign of four.

are they hundred percent?

I don't know about that.

Don't, not really in the mood for law enforcement. P. R.

Boxes to everyone understands. Okay, we're all working this thing from every possible angle.

Yeah, yeah. just. It's a lot.

I think the boy would have benefit from a much more thora investigation into mohinder singh and the part time job. So wouldn't you agree? Gregson.

like I said, were working on the number angles. Maybe you .

should hurry things along and close a few of those angles off.

which we are good to know. Think being an elderly gentleman seemed improbable.

yes. Well, as I always say, when you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.

Do you say that? Do you?

Yes, sometimes, yeah.

right. Look, we've come a long way. All right, just trying to boost moral. And it's .

quite the adventure you've been on a yep, you call IT an adventure. I call IT being thora. Travel expenses for this one must be through the roof.

You met with shelter then.

Well, they were in number at car with me when he was more correction. You won't actually there when he died. Were you ask me?

Okay, right? What else did .

you get up to? Well, we took a forty nine hour a train journey into rural lin india to track through the world lines. And on earth agent iden temple, have we navigated booby trapped in logical puzzles until reaching inner sanctions in the hope of finding a missing diamond, but in fact discovered dead bodies that had been tortured and mutilated.

And we saw some tigers, too.

Yes, yeah, we did. Yes.

busy then.

yeah.

So age and Jones and I have some questions for actually.

we've got some questions for him.

Why am I getting a because .

you disappeared and you disappeared when a man you've been hunting for most of your career was poisoned.

poisoned by an individual he claimed was a White man you think I killed. Well.

you didn't stop IT. You didn't chase the killer down. That silence right there. That is, that is damming made the fact that you can't even explain yourself job. You can even offer any kind of reasoning as to why all of a sudden you abandoned your duties .

and went our White .

faced killer certainly knew the streets of amrit are very well, didn't do what some yes.

he did yeah, made IT very difficult for us to keep up with him, to be honest. How long have you've been based out there again after?

Okay, right?

What you killed shelter and you know where tonga is your a fourth member of the sign of four and there is no point in trying to regard out if IT may okay, end of you tell us where he is and then you tell us where your coffee spirituals are. You busted.

My core. Conspirator's.

yeah, yeah, yeah. I interesting. Acbar .

Anthony's team just captured dust at bar at dubai international .

airports. He.

it's one of the reasons we called you in here to cross reference with them. The team he leads to interview they just a few hours ago.

great met, heard what you said.

no, no, wait, just wait to say.

look, i'm sorry, boys but I mean, to lobby for a joint investigation with interpol, they met police and my six to hold the stock par for a maximum nineteen six hours before we attempt .

charge him to the I international cricket .

international criminal call.

No, sorry. And I had, I told myself not to say .

the crit.

I'm tired. Okay, really bloody tired. I'm jet leg. And i've just found a room where a fourteen year old boy was being held hostage.

Let's take a breath, shall we? You too at a through last night, right? Mh indi sing's house.

That's massive. That's the biggest moment we ve out on the case so far. And if only he has got one of the members in custody. These big strides in the right direction? Yeah, yes.

but I suppose but .

what I can't have is you directing your investigation towards an interpol agent that is trying to conduct high level cross body talks with some of the most powerful law enforcement units in the country in eur. Maybe I mean.

IT was Watson mostly I just enough.

We're onna, take these winds as wind s and were going to go again. Do I make myself clear?

Yes.

yes.

sure. luck. If I don't get a yes, then when is coming down and to talk to you?

yes. All right, fine, fine.

right. Call me me. I want to show you something.

What are we looking .

at you as we know, dr. Watson and share comes and covered the address of the hindus. A few hours ago, they discovered a bedroom where toner was being held.

A couple of boy's possessions confirms this, of course, along with science of a struggle, science of containment. And a few left over meals in the room that was last night show correctly noted the house had been empty for a while. Forensic pathologist noted that the bacteria feeding off some left over food least established of these bacteria colonies, whatever they're called, was around five days. Well, just under five, to be exact. So we checked out cameras in the area for that time, and we got this.

Who is that?

The man in the coat with a hot, we believed to be mhz da singh, the smaller .

fig next to him, toner jesus vehicle.

it's been destroyed. IT was found, burn out the most, and the river crane .

in swick m. So nothing more than a twenty minute drive from the house of mhd duson. correct. And there are no witnesses that saw the vehicle being.

We're working on that, but the vehicle isn't the most significant thing here. What is watch this footage.

What's that? What's going on there?

Toner is mouthing something to the security camera.

Holy shit. Is something ora or our team say. And we've had .

this confirmed by three independent experts tonight. A roa.

osa.

I'm David with class y, former C I, A analyst turned spinoza st.

And i'm good and career national security journalist.

And together we are the host of gold hangers. The latest pod test, the arrest is classified.

Every week we're going to bring you brilliant stories from the world of espionage.

We are going to have hilarious characters, real deal authentic spycraft and intelligence Operations and the often sadly absurd events that fill this world of secrecy, y and deception.

Think the rest is history, but with spice.

And we're going to start in iran, the americans and the britz. Yes, even the britts got and doing downright dirty things to destabilize of government.

The cii love a good don't know, David.

Leaning on our resident expert.

lean on a man with one leg. Well, no, now you've put me on the spot. A rora is this? The boy is saying that aurora has the diamond.

He, like he, he sort of looks towards a security camera above a shop before he gets put in the car. Miles or aura, so could .

mean anything. Yeah, off the top of my head, i'm completely stumped. I say that in the ora, the light aura borriello was seen in india this year. They haven't been seen in india for a very, very long time, exceptionally rare event. He could be alluding to something that happened in that time, perhaps the location of that.

And that is why you, the expert.

David, with me, I can research this. I refuse to be useless.

Just honest. No.

I don't think yeah, just I didn't think that would be true. But what I check this cases is really, I don't know, people seem connected by such thin, invisible threads. Just I can't understand IT .

what do you mean? Well.

Like nothing the wood .

In them, SHE collected a lot of stuff from his stash IT at home. I mean, he wasn't to know what .

This adventure right the way up to part time. Now available info at patri on our com ford slash should come.

Hi David mclouth y from the rest is classify. Here's that clip that we mentioned earlier on. We're back with permit rose belt or in tehran in july of one thousand nine hundred and fifty three permit is there. He is planning a coup. He's got bags of cash and he's in constant villa calling himself James long ridge that's right.

And he's supposed to be undercover as jane broken age. But when he plays tennis with other other expats and diplomats, every time he misses a shot, he curses himself and says a rose belt, which is his real name, so is. And then when people asked why, there he goes, well, i'm such a passionate republican that I hate Frank in roseville a democrats. And so, yeah, use the name is a curse word. I mean, that is not good covers that.

It's pretty rough. It's pretty rough, although I will say that being wasted online, Ricky and playing tennis and seems .

very .

Normal. So permitting there now he's brought money that right to throw around but it's maybe less than we would think yeah to accomplish the overthrows of the government.

Is that right? Yeah, I mean, some of the estimates said that he can do IT for hundred thousand dollars, something IT. Seems crazy to think that all that costs for the coup. I mean, estimates vary, but that's basically bribe money. These guy.

I thought this was also very interesting. I was not aware before we started this in he actually takes over M I sexes network yeah in iran doesn't a which is unlike I actually can't think of a modern parallel where you don't have a joint I mean it's it's a joint effort but he doesn't have britz on the ground with him. He's there. He's taken over the bridge ork.
