An option would be to grab the whole segment one-two-three
$afterSecondDash = $this->uri->segment(1);
and then use a regular expression to grab all the letters after the second dash
$afterSecondDash = preg_replace("insert_expression_here", $afterSecondDash );
Sadly I dont know the regular expression that will achieve this which is why I have left the text insert_expression_here, there couple of tutorials you can check out on regular expression:

Grab the segment, then use explode() to separate the chunks, and end() to get the last one.
