You know what .

I was like? IT was like, a shame, pain cork. 我， 我 like a guy like。 A sweet gold, the front into their trucker head of us just takes off, flips into the area. And I just see this tower of flames just shooting up out of the ground.

So cruel to her, so evil. They keep saying they were waiting for a dollar to meet me. A dollar can.

I don't know what they think was some warlord or whatever. Maybe he wanted to pray this around as some trophy. Me, however, hold woke up one night or morning. Really, that must have been for a or something. There's a firefight going on outside, and I can hear some bullets pinning around the city walls.

I can see flash rings going off and think, the lord, I can hear americans shouting all the while, more bullets and threatens shooting around the cave as they closer and louder. And eventually, after all this noise of this, miss IT goes quiet, I was sprayed to bankrupt. And as I say her name and reach out to her, I can just see the early light of dawned, bounce off her eyes and I smiled.

I remember smiling. I could feel me up crack because I had been so long since theyd made their shape, they'd been almost sit in stone in them. yeah. SHE didn't smile back and SHE didn't blink as SHE guests.

a message from the sign of four. Indeed.

I may wish to take another look at IT to examine that handwriting a little closer. Maybe see if I can, under sample of short toes, perhaps don't small. The assistant in this area well.

How was nodia?

Yeah, she's good. Yeah, going strong. Good for you next, right? gonna. ET a parents next week. So.

wow. yes.

Could we please? right? sorry.

Remember what we're looking again. A note from john's girlfriend.

not with a girlfriend. IT is a note connected to Jones girlfriend.

but we don't know who from.

She's not my girlfriend, but we would very much like to discover who IT is from, but also why our friend toby was so interested in IT.

Toby Perry.

fellow from the park. I thought you're doing C.

C.

A on IT. I already have alright, just awaiting results. In the meantime, i'm doing some paper chroma, total phy that is proving rather illuminating now. So well, I can see benzo alcohol and dive in the byrinth, of course, then a smelting of other results. I'd say some calcium, some sodium, potassium, then some metabolic ts, so that would be some sweat.

On page from atherton.

from the author of the note, i'd say the sweat is pushed down, almost forming a Green print in a present shape to the right of the writing. So a right handed person, ather morston, was left handed. And i'd say that, along with the handwriting analysis, gives us reason to believe he didn't write the note. I can also tell you, our author is possibly in a great deal of pain.

why our sweat .

expose a number of things from our bodies, the minerals I mentioned, patashie, sodium and so on, that also metabolizes, eura, ammonia and alike. IT does, however, also deal with the unmeet abolished, particularly in the form of .

description drugs. 哦， okay, wow.

what a nice.

good spot. Maybe that's .

why toby was all over IT an open.

I've checked no service dogs are trained to sniff coding unless case dependent. And he never worked on any. He was sniffing for .

something else. So basically, narcotics, explosives, harmful substances, correct?

Not if we go. Back, oh, love like an embro and everything, right? But he wants to guess stamp. I want to be fun, right?

What do you think was on the note? This isn't a bill .

in a restaurant. When not guess .

IT lis and thrust dover, that is what about .

flying peace play and ah i'm going to go OK.

Okay, okay. We asked which chemical has been found on the note you said cocaine, sir. They said. mr. Sherlock homes, you said what .

was basilius and thrash our survey said.

top, really pon, there is a congress results.

Good god, well done.

make good work. Absolutely know that. Show what is IT baculard what say?

And though we. Evacuate.

do to evacuees.

Acua the sport have long red captain moston did the right thing by storing them away in that box and then in a locked container for ten years.

okay. So, so somebody poison him.

Yes.

has mad cor block.

And what does.

what is the forming the sign of four? We don't know. IT feels to me like we're dealing with a group, group that felt the need to eliminate captain more than ten years ago. I dare say IT tie into the god's of heart diamond and its kindred stones.

Not on the foremark, on the lock box. 我， the four Marks.

of course, it's not a scratch. It's a mark one, two, three, four.

It's their symbol, the sign of four.

We're back with permit rose belt or in tehran in july of 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 lock age.

That's right. And he's supposed to be undercover as jane broker. But when he plays tennis with other other experts and diplomats, every time he misses a shot, he curses himself and says a rose of 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 roseveldt democrat. 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 that's ai .

seems very .

Normal. So permit there. Now he's brought money that right to come throw around but it's maybe less than we would think yeah to accomplish the overthrows of the government. Is that right? Yeah.

basically bribe money. That I was also very interesting. He actually takes over M I sexes network yeah in iran doesn't a which is like 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.
