Recap / Big Finish Doctor Who JALS 7 E 1 The Monstrous Menagerie

Go To

Sergeant Quick is being led by the mudlark Patsy to what appears to be the remains of a grisly murder. The corpse appears to have been viciously savaged by a wild animal. Quick arranges for a post-mortem to be carried out. Unfortunately, the pathologist he usually contacts has disappeared without trace…

It’s been two days since the bounty on Jago and Litefoot’s heads was announced by Queen Victoria. The Infernal Investigators have been living rough and trying to lay low from the law. Litefoot is reading a newspaper that details a seventh murder in the city, which according to the papers was caused by an alligator that has swum up the River Thames. Jago wishes to offer his and Litefoot’s services to Scotland Yard but Litefoot reminds him of their predicament and that they could investigate themselves without the aid of the police. The uncomfortable conditions have taken their toll on Jago, who pines for a pint of ale and comfortable quarters to rest. They hear a familiar shrill woman’s voice calling out to the streets for anyone interested in buying handkerchiefs. Litefoot recognises her as Ellie wearing a young boys disguise. Ellie quickly hands Litefoot a handkerchief with a parcel covering it, while instructing them to go to ‘Grubs’ and ‘Play Sherlock’ and ‘to help you from the dark’. Once Ellie is out of sight, Litefoot opens the parcel to find two sets of clothes, wigs and false beards. The clothes in particular are quite unique as Jago describes a deerstalker cap and an inverness cape amongst the clothes – the clothes of Sherlock Holmes! Litefoot deduces that ‘Grubs’ must be the baker’s shop. He instructs Jago to change into the clothes as they are his size and to head to Grubs to investigate. Litefoot also deduces the final part of the message ‘to help you from the dark’ or as he interprets it – ‘to help you. From the Darke’. Ellie managed to get the parcel from Professor Claudius Darke or better known as ‘The Sixth Doctor!’

With their spirits raised, Jago and Litefoot take to the streets and head for Grubs, both posing as Sherlock Holmes (Jago) and Doctor John Watson (Litefoot). Even so, both men feel as though the other doesn’t fit the part of the characters they’re cosplaying. Litefoot offhandedly states that Jago’s a bit too stout and Jago comments that Doctor Watson is meant to be described as a man in his 30s, not a greying, middle aged man. They arrive outside Grubs. Litefoot agrees to stand outside on look out while Jago heads inside.

Jago meets with the baker, who sees his Sherlock Holmes outfit and hands him a loaf of bread for free while giving him a cryptic message – ‘A Baker’s Treat. Take away one and one for the house’. Jago is confused by his message but nonetheless is thankful for the bread and takes his leave.

Jago meets with Litefoot outside the bakers and shows him the loaf of bread and the message given to him. Jago takes a bite out of the loaf and cries out in pain as he bites into something metallic inside the bread – a key! Litefoot ponders the message given to them by the baker and realises it’s a clue to the address of the key. The Baker’s Treat is a play on words. Say it quickly and you get…Baker Street! This explains the Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson disguises. Litefoot furthermore deduces that the famous consulting detective and his doctor live at 221B Baker Street, so if you were to consider the message ‘take one and one for the house’ and interpret it as 1-1-4 and subtract the number 114 from 221, one would get the number 107! The Doctor’s house address is 107 Baker Street! With the location deduced, Jago and Litefoot set off to find their new lodgings.

The Infernal Investigators arrive at the address and use the key purloined from the bread to enter. They find the apartment very well furnished, but in a dire need of dusting as it seems The Doctor hasn’t lived in it for years. Nonetheless, they find a bucket of coal by the fireplace, so they should be able to get a fire going to warm up the house. Litefoot reminds Jago to keep the curtains drawn and keep a low profile while they work to get the place up and running again.

Later that evening, Litefoot has managed to get a hot, roaring fire burning in the fireplace. Jago returns to the front room looking rather flustered by what he’s found in the house, including a laboratory and a rotting basement that is looking to collapse at any moment. He describes that aside from the unusual laboratory and rotting basement, the house has two bedrooms and the usual necessities a house would need. But his most exciting discovery is a larder filled with fresh bread, fruit and meat, to which he presents to the Professor. With their comforts relatively restored, the two investigators propose a toast to The Doctor for helping them out in their hour of need. Moments later, the doorbell rings, which is strange considering that no one knows that they are currently living here. Jago peeks out the window and sees a young man anxiously ringing the doorbell. To remain incognito, the two men agree to not answer until the young man calls out asking for Professor George Litefoot and Henry Gordon Jago. Their interests piqued, Litefoot carefully answers the door and asks the young man why he would believe that Jago and Litefoot are living at this address. The young man responds that they have a mutual friend who sent him here - Professor Claudius Darke. Realising the man may not be a threat, Litefoot invites the man into the warm, much to Jago’s reluctance until Litefoot explains the mutual friendship the stranger shares with them. The man introduces himself as Dr. Arthur Conan Doyle – the author behind the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. The Infernal Investigators are taken aback by having a literary celebrity in their midst and start gushing about their admiration of Sherlock Holmes. While Doyle is flattered by their modesty, he mentions that his days as the author of Sherlock Holmes are behind him and asks the men if they are aware of his other works. Jago and Litefoot say that they have, but Doyle poses a question about one of his novels to test their knowledge – What character appealed to them the most. To avoid admitting they haven’t actually read anything other than Sherlock Holmes, both men answer with the book’s title character. This seems to satisfy Doyle who goes on to explain that he met Professor Darke while he was studying under Alexander Graham Bell, Darke told Doyle that if he were in any trouble, Jago and Litefoot would be able to help. Doyle mentions how he regularly visits the real 221B Baker Street to collect post addressed to the fictional detective by obsessive fans (which irritates Doyle considering Holmes is fictional and dead), most of which includes marriage proposals, death threats and people claiming to be Professor Moriarty. Doyle splits his personal post into 3 categories:

• Category 1 – Fans who point out plot holes and inconsistencies in his stories

• Category 2 – Fan asking for more Sherlock Holmes stories. A category that particularly irks him as he believes Sherlock Holmes was holding him back from his true literary potential and the fact that they can’t seem to understand that he’s been killed off in ‘The Final Problem’.

• Category 3 – People who write to ask about their own problems that they wish Sherlock Holmes could solve.

While he admits that he tends to discard any post pertaining to Sherlock Holmes, one particular letter caught his attention. It was sent by a woman called Laura Lyons. The letter details how Lyons wishes to meet with the real Sherlock Holmes and she plans to visit 221B Baker Street. But its not the contents of the letter that intrigued Doyle, it was what the letter was made from. He hands the letter to Litefoot and he mentions how the paper is made of a smooth glass like material. Doyle mentions that he’s examined the material and can’t seem to identify it. Doyle wants answers and asks Jago and Litefoot if they would accompany him to the real 221B Baker Street the next day, pose as Sherlock Holmes and Doctor John Watson and meet with the mysterious woman.

The next morning, Jago and Litefoot set off for 221B Baker Street in their Sherlock Holmes (Jago) and Doctor Watson (Litefoot) disguises. They discuss Doyle and both agree that Doyle seemed a tad conceited, admit to not reading any other of Doyle’s work outside of Sherlock Holmes and admit they only claimed to have read them out of politeness. They arrive at 221B Baker Street where Doyle is waiting for them. He invites them both inside, and Litefoot is a bit disappointed that the home of Sherlock Holmes isn’t exactly as he would’ve imagined it. Once in the study, Jago proceeds to rearrange the furniture, including placing a wooden mannequin by the window. Doyle explains that he plans to sit in the adjacent room and listen in on the conversation with the three individuals. Jago mentions that if Sherlock Holmes is dead, why should they pretend to act as the characters? Doyle explains that Lyons is under the allusion that they are alive and real, while both Jago and Litefoot point out the possibility that Sherlock Holmes may have survived the Reichenbach Falls battle with Moriarty or faked his own death. Doyle loses his cool and exasperatedly explains that he won’t be writing anymore Sherlock Holmes stories and reiterates the title ‘The Final Problem’ to be a hint to this. Thankfully, the doorbell rings to break the awkward silence after Doyle’s outburst. Jago and Litefoot immediately assume character and ‘Holmes’ asks ‘Dr. Watson’ to see to the door.

Litefoot/Watson opens the door and greets a young woman who introduces herself as Laura Lyons. Litefoot/Watson tells her he and Sherlock Holmes have been expecting her and so he invites her inside. Jago/Holmes ‘deduces’ the identity of the visitor and from one glance makes a series of baseless deductions…to which Lyons denies. She explains how she has returned from an expedition overseas, but her concerns as to why she came to Holmes and Watson in the first place lie with the expedition’s leader…Baskerville. Lyons breaks down as she shakily explains that Baskerville is in love with her, but she doesn’t reciprocate his feelings. She has just managed to escape his home and fears that he is hunting her down. Plus, Baskerville is known for having a violent temper. She feels as though she can’t go to the police but that her hopes lie with Sherlock Holmes. After hearing her story, Jago/Holmes heartily agrees to her case. But before Litefoot/Watson could ask about the strange paper. A tranquiliser dart flies through the window, shattering it. Everyone drops to the floor to take cover. Lyons fears that its Baskerville and that he’s followed her. Doyle emerges from the next room and suggests the group move into the room he was hiding inside. Doyle notices that the sniper seems to be aiming for the wooden mannequin. Jago and Litefoot decide that it would serve a useful distraction while they take cover in the next room.

Once they’re safely next door, Jago/Holmes accidently lets slip that Sherlock Holmes is fictional, much to Lyons’ confusion. Doyle believes the jig is up and delicately explains to Lyons that Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson are in fact fictional characters that he created. Lyons is visibly confused by this revelation, but before she can dwell on it further. Jago mentions that there is a smell of gas emanating from the study and its seeping into the room. Lyons assures the group it’s not poisonous as Baskerville will want to capture her alive, but its making everyone violently choke nonetheless. She decides to not endanger the men any further and leaves to give herself up to Baskerville, but not before providing an address for his home – Cobble Row in the Old Nickel Street Rookery. Just as she leaves, the gas overwhelms the three men and they all pass out on the floor.

Many hours later, Litefoot wakes up after the effects of the gas. He notices how the weather has changed from stormy to clear skies and how its gotten darker. Jago wakes up as well and notices the clock reads 7:00pm – they’ve been asleep for 8 hours. Doyle has checked around and can’t find Lyons anywhere, but thankfully she was able to tell them an address before giving herself up. Litefoot realises that this address is the site of the murders being reported in the newspapers. Doyle shows them something rather disturbing, he walks in with some more post addressed to Sherlock Holmes and shows them the postdate as being the next day. They’ve been out cold for 24 hours! With no more time to waste, Litefoot suggests they make haste to Old Nickel Street immediately.

The trio arrive at the street via cab. The cab driver is keen to get away from Nickel Street as quickly as possible as its infamous for street gangs and violent individuals. The buildings have been marked as condemned, so no one lives on these streets. Before they venture further, they hear a familiar voice call out to them – Sergeant Quick! Quick reminds the two men that he does have orders to apprehend them on sight but decides to turn a blind eye unless they give him a reason to arrest them. Doyle introduces himself to Quick, who is quick to gush over the famous Sherlock Holmes author. After asking the same tiresome questions Doyle has heard time and time again, he asks what Jago and Litefoot are investigating this time. Jago and Litefoot explain the circumstances surrounding Laura Lyons and her abduction at the hands of the enigmatic Baskerville. Quick fears for the woman’s safety, in particular when he namedrops ‘The Beast of Bethnal Green’ or the supposed alligator being on the loose. In the distance, police whistles sound and Quick knows that his colleagues have found another victim of the supposed beast and promptly takes his leave.

The trio wonder about the dark alleys and begin to think if Lyons has led them to the wrong address. Before they ponder any further, they hear and feel loud footsteps coming towards them. From the darkness of the night, the trio come face to face with a living stegosaurus! Jago believes this to be the Beast of Bethnal Green that Quick had mentioned, but Doyle quickly shoots down this theory by stating that Stegosauruses are herbivores, so humans aren’t in their food palate. Thankfully, the prehistoric beast doesn’t seem to be too fussed with their presence. In fact, its completely ignoring them. The question is, where did it come from? Doyle suggests that they follow the beast back to where it came from. Moments later, the stegosaurus suddenly vanishes into thin air! Doyle is incredulous as this defies all logic, while Litefoot suggests they continue along the stegosaurus’s path, while also reminding him of the famous Sherlock Holmes phrase: “Once you’ve eliminated the impossible. Whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” They continue walking a few feet until suddenly they walk through what appears to be an invisible forcefield that leads them to a jungle! Doyle is beyond bewildered at how such a thing could be possible before he realises that he’s alone in the jungle. He turns back the way he walked while calling for Jago and Litefoot only to walk through the forcefield again and back on Nickel Street with Jago and Litefoot waiting for him. Litefoot deduces that this is how the stegosaurus arrived in London and that there is some form of cloaking device at work that is keeping the path to the jungle hidden. They step back through the forcefield into the jungle once more and the trio look up into the skies to see several pterodactyls flying in the sky. This jungle is prehistoric Earth!

The trio have journeyed at least a mile through a prehistoric swamp in search for answers. They suddenly hear a bloodthirsty roaring sound coming from behind them. Litefoot urges the group to keep moving forward. Doyle looks back and identifies the roar of that of an Allosaurus stalking them. Jago looks ahead and sees what appears to be lights. Suddenly, an alarm sound echoes around them and the Allosaurus shrieks in agony before turning away from the group. They look ahead and see what appears to be a manor made of steel and glass. It must be the residence that Laura Lyons was referring to. Rather than going to the front door of the manor, Litefoot suggests that they sneak around the back. Before they can do so, the alarm has attracted a pack of glowing green hounds that have picked up their scent. With the Allosaurus on their rear and the hounds ahead of them, Litefoot suggests they all split up to divide up the hounds. Jago and Litefoot run off together while Doyle takes another route, not before wishing each other luck. The Infernal Investigators run for their lives, at least hoping that if they get mauled, they’ll give Doyle a chance to survive. Before they contemplate their individuals sacrifices, a shrill whistle sounds and a man barks orders at the hounds to heel. The man approaches the two men and apologises for the hounds as they are trained to attack anyone who trespasses in the area. Jago and Litefoot demand answers as to how this man came to set up a base in prehistoric times with a strange pack of hounds in tow. The man promises to answer their questions if they would kindly accompany him inside the manor, but to ensure their cooperation, he points a strange rifle at them. The man introduces himself as Roger Baskerville, Laura Lyons’ abductor…

Instead the glass manor, Laura Lyons can hear the commotion outside and fears the worst. She begs to be let out, but suddenly hears the sound of glass shattering as Doyle enters the room via a window. He explains that he managed to sneak around the back while Jago and Litefoot distracted the security hounds. Unfortunately, with the hounds released on the property, Lyons fears that they won’t be able to reach the temporal barrier before being mauled. Doyle is now dumfounded more than ever, especially when Lyons reveals that she and Baskerville are in fact time travellers…

Baskerville reveals to Jago and Litefoot that he and Lyons are from the 63rd century. The house and its grounds are the machine that enables him and Lyons to time travel, all contained within a temporal forcefield. Lyons explains that she and Baskerville travelled back to the Jurassic era to collect samples of flora and fauna. There were originally twelve individuals on this mission, mostly scientists led by a Professor Presbury with Baskerville as his second in command. Unfortunately, their attempted time jump back to the 63rd century resulted in their temporal engines failing and its resulting failure caused the deaths of ten scientists, including Lyons’ fiancé, leaving Baskerville and Lyons the only survivors and marooned in the past. However, Lyons believes the deaths to be no accident and explains that before the accident, Baskerville became possessive and went as far as to declare his love for her, to which she refused. Not long afterwards, the time machine malfunctioned and caused the deaths of ten scientists, to which Lyons believes that Baskerville is responsible for. Afterwards, he attempted to imprison her, but she thankfully managed to escape through the malfunctioned temporal barrier that lead to 1894, but unfortunately, this also allowed the dinosaurs to pass through and feast upon the inhabitants of London in the 19th century. Baskerville doesn’t see the problem with a few dinosaurs passing through and preying upon innocent Londoners, a statement that appals the Infernal Investigators and accuse Baskerville as the real monster in their midst. Baskerville isn’t perturbed by their accusations in the slightest however, But Jago states that Lyons was right to come to the best help she could find – Sherlock Holmes and Doctor John Watson!

Doyle is curious as to why Lyons sought out two fictional characters for help. Lyons explains that she isn’t overly familiar with the 19th century and assumed that Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson were real investigators that existed in that time period. Doyle is more surprised by the fact that even as far as the 63rd century, his most famous creation is still highly revered and has endured the test of time. He erratically asks if his other works are as popular, to which Lyons questions what other works? A statement that leaves Doyle greatly dejected. All he’ll ever be known for is writing stories about an eccentric consulting detective and his doctor companion.

Baskerville is pleasantly surprised by the fact that ‘Sherlock Holmes’ and ‘Doctor Watson’ have graced him with their presence. But immediately drops the pleasant pretence considering that he is aware that they are fictional characters. He even presents his complete collection of Sherlock Holmes stories to prove his accusation. However, Jago and Litefoot explain that Doyle is their ghost writer who documents and glamorises their real life adventures into stories. Baskerville then presents one hole in their logic – if Sherlock Holmes is indeed real, how did he survive the Reichenbach Falls and be here now when Doyle stated that Holmes perished? Jago explains his credibility by merely stating that he is a very good swimmer. Unfortunately, Baskerville isn’t fooled and is very well aware that the consulting detective is in fact a fictional character. Jago tries to reassert his validity but slips up and states that Baskerville can ask Doyle himself, which could only mean that the Infernal Investigators have contact with Doyle, undoing their entire lie. Baskerville deduces that Lyons originally sought out Doyle so that he can mediate with Holmes and Watson to get them to meet her. Furthermore, Lyons told Holmes where to find the temporal portal, and it wasn’t just the two of them who came looking…Doyle came with them…

Doyle asks why Lyons came searching for Sherlock Holmes. She tries to explain that she has friends and family in the future who would be missing her, so she needed to send a message to the future. Before she can explain further, Baskerville enters the room and discovers Doyle with her. Before Lyons can react, Baskerville shoots her with his tranquilizer rifle, knocking her out cold. He aims the weapon at Doyle and calmly advises him to not move. Now that Baskerville has the famous author in his thrall, he asks one simple question…Why didn’t Doyle continue writing Sherlock Holmes stories? This drives Doyle to exasperation and angrily admits that he was sick of the character, hence why he killed him off. Baskerville points out the common plot hole that Holmes could’ve survived the fall, but Doyle refuses to acknowledge the inconsistency and bluntly states that Holmes died in ‘The Final Problem’. Baskerville suggests that Doyle could’ve always written a series of prequels to satiate his fans. This drives Doyle over the edge and he angrily attacks the villainous fanboy, only for Baskerville to wrestle the author to the ground and shoot him with a tranquiliser dart, knocking him out, but not while expressing his disappointment in meeting his hero.

Doyle awakens to find himself locked in a cage with Jago and Litefoot. Jago explains that Baskerville forced the Infernal Investigators to carry his unconscious form downstairs into the basement and locked them in with several of his living specimens. Doyle tells the duo that Baskerville asked him the tired old question of ‘why he never wrote anymore Sherlock Holmes stories.’ Litefoot states that if the villain is asking those questions, it could only mean that Doyle is still fondly remembered for his work as far as the 63rd century, a thought that greatly aggravates the author as he now realises that he will only be remembered for something he deemed inferior to his lesser known works. Litefoot presses further to why Doyle stopped writing Sherlock Holmes as he deduces that there’s more to his reasons than just simply feeling his stories were a waste of potential. Doyle finally opens up to his reasons by revealing that his father had passed away only a year ago and his wife was recently diagnosed with terminal Tuberculosis. These events greatly depressed Doyle and had him pondering his own mortality. He decided that he wanted to make the best of what time he may have left and decided to discontinue Sherlock Holmes for something that he felt would be more memorable for future generations. Baskerville enters and announces his intent to kill all three of his captives as to tie up loose ends as from his perspective in time – Jago and Litefoot die with no descendants and Doyle will disappear in 1894 without trace. But before Baskerville goes through with the deed, he asks Doyle one last request – could he sign his entire collection of Sherlock Holmes books? Doyle laughs incredulously at the audacity of the villain, but nonetheless begrudgingly agrees and proceeds to sign the books…and immediately stabs Baskerville through the hand with the pen. Baskerville recoils out of the cage and angrily states that the author will regret his violent transgression. Suddenly, a door in the roof opens up and the cage containing the three gentlemen begins to ascend through it. The cage is elevated into the courtyard of the manor where Baskerville reveals that he plans to feed the gentlemen to his guard hounds. Doyle questions the safety of Laura Lyons, to which he reveals that she is currently incarcerated elsewhere, but will not bear witness to the gruesome display about to occur. With no other options, Doyle pleads for the freedom of himself, Jago and Litefoot and in exchange, he’ll write more Sherlock Holmes stories to appease his fans. Baskerville however is through with Doyle’s pleading and admits that Holmes died in the Reichenbach Falls and as such, any further entries will be non-canonical. He bids farewell to the group and leaves them to their fate as the hounds begin to surround the cage…

Jago and Litefoot plead for mercy from the vicious beasts. Doyle however is pondering why Lyons came to enlist the help of Holmes in the first place. He recalls how she mentioned that she wanted to send a message to the future as she knew she would be missed if she didn’t return. They deduce the reason was so that the future could send another time machine to rescue her should she go missing. The group further deduce that they should be the ones to send a message – a coded message written in a Sherlock Holmes story as they’ve already deduced that Doyle’s works will survive to exist in the future! The story should include a woman called Laura Lyons and a villainous character called Baskerville and give him a glowing hound as a plot point. Litefoot demands Doyle for Lyons’ sake, that if they should survive, he must write a story with the aforementioned details so that the future can rescue her. Doyle agrees to do so and more, now realising how important Sherlock Holmes is to so many people. With that settled, Jago and Litefoot agree to sacrifice themselves so that Doyle can escape and write the story. Just as the cage opens to allow the hounds access to their living meat, several armoured soldiers materialise out of the air and neutralise the hounds! A soldier assures the gentlemen that they are safe and identify themselves as a Temporal Recovery Squad on a mission to rescue Laura Lyons. The soldier mentions that they were able to track her down because of Doyle’s story – The Hound of the Baskervilles!

Baskerville enters Lyon’s cell and demands her cooperation, but Lyons is defiant in the face of her insane captor. Baskerville boasts that he has killed Jago, Litefoot and Doyle, which greatly distresses Lyons. But before all hope seems lost, soldiers from the Temporal Recovery Squad materialise in the cell and announce their intent to arrest Baskerville. Baskerville refuses to give up however and shoves past the soldier into the courtyard.

The soldier radios an order to the squad to locate and apprehend Baskerville on sight. The Infernal Investigators spot Baskerville running to the jungle. Realising that he’s heading for the temporal barrier, the soldiers give pursuit.

Baskerville is running through the jungle, raving madly about how he will refuse to be captured and that he will begin anew elsewhere without Laura. Unfortunately for him, he is ambushed by a dinosaur and gruesomely consumed.

Lyons is grateful to Doyle for saving her life. Knowing that his work will be remembered in the far future, Doyle resolves to continue writing Sherlock Holmes stories. He doesn’t exactly have a choice as his new story will save the life of an individual from the future. With all the specimens recaptured, Lyons bids the gentlemen farewell and request that they step through the temporal barrier back to Victorian England.

Jago is grateful to be back in London, even if it is the rough end of town. Doyle wonders if Lyons and the Temporal Recovery Squad managed to return to the future. Litefoot confirms so by telling Doyle to try and walk through the temporal barrier again. He does so and is still in London, thus confirming that they’ve successfully returned safely.

As the trio walk the streets, Doyle ponders about maybe writing a story after he’s finished with Holmes. A story about a professor having adventures with dinosaurs. Nonetheless, he bids the Infernal Investigators farewell with Jago telling Doyle to remember Baskerville and hounds.

The Infernal Investigators laugh about the upcoming story, knowing its true intent was to save a woman’s life. Nonetheless, they are excited to read it when it is finally serialised in The Strand. They encounter Sergeant Quick and the duo inform him that his mysterious ‘Beast of Bethnal Green’ will trouble London no more as they’ve dealt with it. Quick also has news of his own. He reveals that during the investigation into The Colonel’s observatory base, one body was unaccounted for – Private Jack Willis. The trio believe that this soldier is the only survivor of the final battle between the Infernal Investigators and The Colonel and as such is the most vital witness in proving Jago and Litefoot’s innocence. The trio resolve to find this soldier and ask to help in proving their innocence. With that revelation, Quick bids the Infernal Investigators farewell and returns to his police squad to resume the search.

On his way back, Quick encounters a strange man who informs him that he is a detective on the hunt for two individuals that Quick has reason to be associated with…Henry Gordon Jago and George Litefoot. Quick denies seeing the duo but the man reveals that he intends to hunt down the Infernal Investigators and bring them to justice by any means necessary…
