• Jenny:
  Keats. The Iliad. Poems by Byron. The complete works of Shakespeare. Nothing about an old man.
• Luke:
  Not even a picture on the front cover.
• Jenny:
  What about those paintings? Anything there?
• Luke:
  I've already checked them. Nothing! Should we look through each book?
• Jenny:
  That could take forever, and we don't have time. This is hopeless.

• Rob:
  Jenny. Any luck?
• Jenny:
  No. We've been here for hours, and we've looked everywhere. We haven't found a single thing about an old man. Look Rob, maybe the old man thing wasn't a secret message at all.
• Rob:
  But it sounded so odd, and why would he mention it.
• Jenny:
  Well, he's under a lot of pressure. He probably just...
• Rob:
  Wait.
• Jenny:
  What?

• Rob:
  Is there anything on top of the bookcase?
• Luke:
  Just a load of old books. We've already been through them.
• Rob:
  Isn't there anything else?
• Luke:
  Wait a second. Yeah. There are two small paperweights.
• Rob:
  Do they have anything written on them?

  This one says "Apollo, God of Music and poetry"
• Rob:
  What about the other one?
• Luke:
  It says "Proteus, the old man of the sea"
• Rob:
  That must be what dad meant.

• Jenny:
  What does it mean? Who's Proteus?
• Luke:
  You know, that name sounds familiar.
• Rob:
  I think he's a Greek god. Dad's got loads of stuff like that.
• Luke:
  No, no, not that. I'm sure I've seen it somewhere. I'll Google it.

• Jenny:
  Does it mean anything to you, Rob?
• Rob:
  No. I can't remember hearing it before. Maybe it's someone's name or...
• Luke:
  Got it. Proteus is a biochemical company. It's based in Oxford. And, I don't believe it.
• Jenny:
  What is it, Luke?
• Luke:
  It's right by Saint Bartholomew's Church. You know, the one with the famous bells.
• Jenny:
  The bells we heard in the recording. That must be where Henry is. Rob we've got to go call the police.

• Elaine:
  Tom, where are you?
• Tom:
  We're approaching the side entrance. There's nobody around.
• Elaine:
  Okay Tom, I'm going to hand you over to Luke. He's going to guide you to a room in the basement. That's where we think Henry's being held.

  Got it.
• Elaine:
  Be careful!

  Don't worry. Come on.
