The Abominable Bride

0:00:03 > 0:00:07The name's Sherlock Holmes and the address is 221B Baker Street.

0:00:07 > 0:00:08Afternoon.

0:00:08 > 0:00:10Yeah.

0:00:10 > 0:00:12He's always like that.

0:00:12 > 0:00:13WHIPS AND POUNDS

0:00:13 > 0:00:15Bad day was it?

0:00:15 > 0:00:18Since yesterday you've moved in with him and now you're solving crimes together.

0:00:18 > 0:00:21- Mwah!- Look at you, all happy, it's not decent.

0:00:21 > 0:00:24Who cares about decent? The game, Mrs Hudson, is on!

0:00:26 > 0:00:30Don't make people into heroes, John. Heroes don't exist and, if they did, I wouldn't be one of them.

0:00:30 > 0:00:32I will burn the HEART out of you.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34Right, this should do it.

0:00:37 > 0:00:40- Are you wearing any pants? - No.- OK.

0:00:40 > 0:00:42THEY CHUCKLE

0:00:42 > 0:00:45This is how I want you to remember me, the woman who beat you.

0:00:45 > 0:00:47But there never was any monster.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49HOWLING

0:00:49 > 0:00:51- Sherlock? - Here we are, at last.

0:00:51 > 0:00:52Argh! GUNSHOT

0:00:52 > 0:00:55- Goodbye, John.- Sherlock! - 'Those things will kill you.'

0:00:55 > 0:00:57Oh, you bastard!

0:00:57 > 0:01:00The thrill of the chase, the blood pumping through your veins,

0:01:00 > 0:01:02just the two of us against the rest of the world.

0:01:02 > 0:01:04Wait!

0:01:04 > 0:01:06We're going to need to coordinate.

0:01:06 > 0:01:07I asked you for one more miracle.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10- I asked you to stop being dead. - I heard you.

0:01:10 > 0:01:12Shut up! You are not a puzzle solver, you never have been.

0:01:12 > 0:01:14You're a drama queen!

0:01:14 > 0:01:15Now there is a man in there about to die.

0:01:15 > 0:01:17The game is on, solve it!

0:01:17 > 0:01:20He is the Napoleon of blackmail.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23No chance for you to be a hero this time, Mr Holmes.

0:01:23 > 0:01:25I'm a high-functioning sociopath!

0:01:25 > 0:01:26GUNSHOT

0:01:26 > 0:01:29There is no prison in which we could incarcerate Sherlock without

0:01:29 > 0:01:31causing a riot on a daily basis.

0:01:31 > 0:01:34The alternative, however, would require your approval.

0:01:34 > 0:01:37To the very best of times, John.

0:01:37 > 0:01:39- WOMAN'S VOICE:- Did you miss me?

0:01:39 > 0:01:40- DISTORTED VOICE:- Did you miss me?

0:01:40 > 0:01:41How is this possible?

0:01:41 > 0:01:44- How is the exile going? - I've only been gone four minutes.

0:01:44 > 0:01:46Well, I certainly hope you've learnt your lesson.

0:01:46 > 0:01:48Who needs me this time?

0:01:48 > 0:01:49Miss me?

0:01:49 > 0:01:50England.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02SHELL WHINES

0:02:02 > 0:02:06"The Second Afghan War brought honours and promotion to many.

0:02:08 > 0:02:12"But, for me, it meant nothing but misfortune and disaster."

0:02:16 > 0:02:18HE GROANS

0:02:21 > 0:02:23HE MOANS

0:02:25 > 0:02:27All right, Captain.

0:02:31 > 0:02:32WAR CRIES

0:02:36 > 0:02:39"I returned to England with my health irretrievably ruined

0:02:39 > 0:02:41"and my future bleak.

0:02:41 > 0:02:45"Under such circumstances, I naturally gravitated to London.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48"That great cesspool into which all the loungers..."

0:02:48 > 0:02:51- Watson!- "..and idlers of the empire are drained."

0:02:51 > 0:02:53Watson!

0:02:53 > 0:02:54Stamford.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56Remember?

0:02:57 > 0:02:59We were at Barts together.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01Yes, of course. Stamford.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03Good Lord! Where have you been?

0:03:03 > 0:03:05You're as thin as a rake!

0:03:06 > 0:03:09I made it home. Many weren't so lucky.

0:03:11 > 0:03:12So what now?

0:03:12 > 0:03:14I need a place to live.

0:03:14 > 0:03:17Somewhere decent at an affordable price. It's not easy.

0:03:17 > 0:03:19STAMFORD CHUCKLES

0:03:19 > 0:03:22You know, you're the second person to say that to me today.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24Hmm? Who was the first?

0:03:25 > 0:03:28POUNDING

0:03:31 > 0:03:33Good Lord.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36It's an experiment, apparently.

0:03:36 > 0:03:40Beating corpses to establish how long after death bruising is

0:03:40 > 0:03:42still possible.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Is there a medical point to that?

0:03:45 > 0:03:47Not sure.

0:03:47 > 0:03:51Neither am I. So, where's this friend of yours, then?

0:03:55 > 0:03:57POUNDING CONTINUES

0:03:59 > 0:04:01Excuse me.

0:04:02 > 0:04:04I do hope we're not interrupting.

0:04:10 > 0:04:12You've been in Afghanistan, I perceive.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15Dr Watson, Mr Sherlock...

0:04:15 > 0:04:16Excellent reflexes, you'll do.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18I'm sorry...?

0:04:18 > 0:04:22I have my eye on a suite of rooms near Regent's Park. Between us we could afford them.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24Rooms? Who said anything about rooms?

0:04:24 > 0:04:26I did, I mentioned it this morning, I was in need of a fellow lodger.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29Now he appears after lunch in the company of a man of military aspect

0:04:29 > 0:04:32with a tan and a recent injury, both suggestive

0:04:32 > 0:04:34of the campaign in Afghanistan and an enforced departure from it.

0:04:34 > 0:04:38The conclusion seemed inescapable. We'll finalise the details tomorrow evening.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40Now, if you'll excuse me,

0:04:40 > 0:04:42I have a hanging in Wandsworth and I'd hate them to start without me.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45- A hanging? - I take a professional interest.

0:04:45 > 0:04:49I also play the violin and smoke a pipe. I presume that's not a problem.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52- Er, no, well...- And you're clearly acclimatized to never getting

0:04:52 > 0:04:55to the end of a sentence. We'll get along splendidly.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57Tomorrow evening, seven o'clock, then.

0:04:57 > 0:04:59Oh, and the name is Sherlock Holmes

0:04:59 > 0:05:03and the address is 221B, Baker Street.

0:05:05 > 0:05:08Yes...he's always been like that.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47Papers! Papers!

0:05:51 > 0:05:55Papers! Papers!

0:05:55 > 0:05:57CAROL SINGING IN BACKGROUND

0:05:57 > 0:06:00- Here, how's The Blue Carbuncle doing?- Very popular, Dr Watson.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03Is there going to be a proper murder next month?

0:06:03 > 0:06:05I'll have a word with the criminal classes.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07If you wouldn't mind.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09Is that him? Is he in there?

0:06:09 > 0:06:11- THUD - Ow! No.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13No, no, not at all. Er, good day to you.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16Let on, walk.

0:06:16 > 0:06:17Merry Christmas, Mr Holmes!

0:06:36 > 0:06:38Mr Holmes!

0:06:38 > 0:06:41I do wish you'd let me know when you're planning to come home!

0:06:41 > 0:06:44I hardly knew myself, Mrs Hudson.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46That's the trouble with dismembered country squires.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49They're notoriously difficult to schedule.

0:06:49 > 0:06:50- What's in there?- Never mind.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52Thank you.

0:06:52 > 0:06:53Did you catch the murderer, Mr Holmes?

0:06:53 > 0:06:57Caught the murderer, still looking for the legs. I think we'll call it a draw.

0:06:57 > 0:07:00And I noticed you've published another of your stories, Dr Watson.

0:07:00 > 0:07:01Yes, did you enjoy it?

0:07:01 > 0:07:03No.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05Oh?

0:07:05 > 0:07:08- I never enjoy them. - Why not?

0:07:08 > 0:07:10Well, I never say anything, do I?

0:07:10 > 0:07:13According to you, I just show people up the stairs

0:07:13 > 0:07:14and serve you breakfasts.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17Well, within the narrative, that is, broadly speaking, your function.

0:07:17 > 0:07:19My what?!

0:07:19 > 0:07:23- Don't feel singled out, Mrs Hudson, I'm hardly in the dog one. - "The dog one?"

0:07:23 > 0:07:25I'm your landlady, not a plot device.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27Do you mean The Hound Of The Baskervilles?

0:07:27 > 0:07:30And you make the rooms so drab and dingy.

0:07:30 > 0:07:32Oh, blame it on the illustrator, he's out of control!

0:07:32 > 0:07:36I've had to grow this moustache just so people will recognise me.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39"Over the many years it has been my privilege to record

0:07:39 > 0:07:42"the exploits of my remarkable friend, Mr Sherlock Holmes,

0:07:42 > 0:07:46"it has sometimes been difficult to choose which of his many

0:07:46 > 0:07:49"cases to set before my readers.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52"Some are still too sensitive to recount,

0:07:52 > 0:07:55"whilst others are too recent in the minds of the public.

0:07:55 > 0:08:00"But in all our many adventures together, no case pushed my friend

0:08:00 > 0:08:03"to such mental and physical extremes

0:08:03 > 0:08:06"as that of The Abominable Bride!"

0:08:07 > 0:08:09Good Lord!

0:08:09 > 0:08:12Mrs Hudson, there is a woman in my sitting room!

0:08:12 > 0:08:14Is it intentional?

0:08:14 > 0:08:20She's a client. Said you were out, insisted on waiting.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22Would you, er, care to sit down?

0:08:22 > 0:08:24Didn't you ask her what she wanted?

0:08:24 > 0:08:26You ask her!

0:08:26 > 0:08:27Why didn't YOU ask her?

0:08:27 > 0:08:30How could I, what with me not talking and everything?!

0:08:30 > 0:08:33Oh, for God's sake, give her some lines,

0:08:33 > 0:08:35she's perfectly capable of starving us!

0:08:35 > 0:08:39Good afternoon. I am Sherlock Holmes, this is my friend and colleague, Dr Watson.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42- You may speak freely in front of him, as he rarely understands a word. - Holmes!

0:08:42 > 0:08:45However, before you do, allow me to make some trifling observations.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47You have an impish sense of humour,

0:08:47 > 0:08:50which currently you are deploying to ease a degree of personal anguish.

0:08:50 > 0:08:53You have recently married a man of a seemingly kindly disposition,

0:08:53 > 0:08:56who has now abandoned you

0:08:56 > 0:08:58for an unsavoury companion of dubious morals.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01You have come to this agency as a last resort,

0:09:01 > 0:09:03in the hope that reconciliation may still be possible.

0:09:03 > 0:09:05Good Lord, Holmes!

0:09:05 > 0:09:09All of this is, of course, perfectly evident from your perfume.

0:09:10 > 0:09:12Her perfume?

0:09:12 > 0:09:15Yes, her perfume, which brings insight to me and disaster to you.

0:09:15 > 0:09:16How so?

0:09:16 > 0:09:20Because I recognised it and you did not.

0:09:21 > 0:09:23- Mary!- John.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26Why, in God's name, are you pretending to be a client?

0:09:26 > 0:09:30Because I could think of no other way to see my husband, husband.

0:09:32 > 0:09:33VIOLIN PLAYS

0:09:33 > 0:09:36It was an affair of international intrigue.

0:09:36 > 0:09:39- It was a murdered country squire. - Nevertheless, matters were pressing.

0:09:39 > 0:09:43- I don't mind you going, my darling, I mind you leaving me behind. - But what could you do?!

0:09:43 > 0:09:46Well, what do you do, except wander around taking notes, looking surprised?!

0:09:46 > 0:09:48VIOLIN SCREECHES Enough!

0:09:49 > 0:09:52The stage is set, the curtain rises.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55We are ready to begin.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58Begin what?

0:09:58 > 0:10:01Sometimes to solve a case, one must first solve another.

0:10:01 > 0:10:05- Oh, you have a case, then, a new one?- An old one, very old.

0:10:05 > 0:10:08I shall have to go deep.

0:10:08 > 0:10:09Deep? Into what?

0:10:09 > 0:10:11Myself.

0:10:13 > 0:10:17Lestrade! Do stop loitering by the door and come in.

0:10:18 > 0:10:19How did you know it was me?

0:10:19 > 0:10:21The regulation tread is unmistakable.

0:10:21 > 0:10:24Lighter than Jones, heavier than Gregson.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27I, I just came up... Mrs Hudson didn't seem to be talking.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30I fear she has branched into literary criticism

0:10:30 > 0:10:31by means of satire.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34It is a distressing trend in the modern landlady.

0:10:34 > 0:10:37What brings you here in your off-duty hours?

0:10:37 > 0:10:39- How do you know I'm off duty? - Well, since your arrival,

0:10:39 > 0:10:42you've addressed over 40% of your remarks to my decanter.

0:10:42 > 0:10:46Watson, give the Inspector what he so clearly wants.

0:10:46 > 0:10:50So...Lestrade, what can we do for you?

0:10:50 > 0:10:54Oh, I'm not here on business, I just thought I'd drop by.

0:10:54 > 0:10:56A social call?

0:10:56 > 0:11:03Yeah, of course, just to wish you the compliments of the season.

0:11:03 > 0:11:06- Merry Christmas.- Merry Christmas. - Merry Christmas.- Merry Christmas.

0:11:06 > 0:11:07Thank God that's over.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10Now, Inspector, what strange happening compels you

0:11:10 > 0:11:12to my door, but embarrasses you to relate?

0:11:12 > 0:11:13Who said anything happened?

0:11:13 > 0:11:16You did. By every means short of actual speech.

0:11:17 > 0:11:21Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, Holmes, you have misdiagnosed.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23Then, correct me, Doctor.

0:11:23 > 0:11:27He didn't WANT a drink, he needed one.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30He's not embarrassed, he's afraid.

0:11:33 > 0:11:37My Boswell is learning. They do grow up so fast.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39Watson, restore the courage of Scotland Yard.

0:11:39 > 0:11:41Inspector, do sit down.

0:11:42 > 0:11:45I'm, I'm not afraid, exactly.

0:11:45 > 0:11:47Fear is wisdom in the face of danger,

0:11:47 > 0:11:49it is nothing to be ashamed of.

0:11:50 > 0:11:52Thank you.

0:11:52 > 0:11:53From the beginning, then.

0:11:53 > 0:11:55BANG

0:11:55 > 0:11:56BULLETS WHISTLE

0:11:59 > 0:12:01You!

0:12:01 > 0:12:02No, please!

0:12:10 > 0:12:12You?!

0:12:14 > 0:12:16GUNSHOTS

0:12:16 > 0:12:17A moment.

0:12:17 > 0:12:19GUNSHOT

0:12:24 > 0:12:25When was this?

0:12:27 > 0:12:28Yesterday morning.

0:12:28 > 0:12:31The bride's face, how was it described?

0:12:34 > 0:12:38"White as death, mouth like a crimson wound."

0:12:42 > 0:12:44Poetry or truth?

0:12:44 > 0:12:46Many would say they're the same thing.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48Yes, idiots. Poetry or truth?

0:12:50 > 0:12:54I saw her face myself. Afterwards.

0:12:54 > 0:12:55After what?

0:12:55 > 0:12:57You?

0:12:59 > 0:13:00Or me?

0:13:04 > 0:13:05GUNSHOT

0:13:05 > 0:13:07SCREAMING

0:13:07 > 0:13:10Oh, really, Lestrade, a woman blows her own brains out in public

0:13:10 > 0:13:12and you need help identifying the guilty party?

0:13:12 > 0:13:15I feel Scotland Yard has reached a new low.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17That's not why I'm here.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20- I surmised. - What was her name, the bride?

0:13:20 > 0:13:23Emelia Ricoletti. Yesterday was her wedding anniversary.

0:13:23 > 0:13:26The police, of course, were called.

0:13:26 > 0:13:28And her body taken to the morgue.

0:13:28 > 0:13:32Standard procedure. Why are you telling us what may be presumed?

0:13:32 > 0:13:35Because of what happened next.

0:13:36 > 0:13:40Limehouse. Just a few hours later.

0:13:40 > 0:13:42CHURCH BELLS TOLL

0:13:51 > 0:13:56Thomas Ricoletti. Emelia Ricoletti's husband.

0:13:56 > 0:13:59Presumably on his way to the morgue to identify her remains?

0:14:00 > 0:14:03As it turned out, he was saved the trip.

0:14:07 > 0:14:10HORSES WHINNY

0:14:10 > 0:14:13# Do not forget me

0:14:14 > 0:14:18# Do not forget me

0:14:18 > 0:14:20# Remember the maid... #

0:14:20 > 0:14:21Who are you?

0:14:21 > 0:14:23# The maid of the mill... #

0:14:23 > 0:14:26Why are you doing this? Just tell me who you are!

0:14:26 > 0:14:29You recognise our song, my dear?

0:14:30 > 0:14:32I sang it at our wedding.

0:14:36 > 0:14:40- HE SHIVERS - Emelia?

0:14:40 > 0:14:43You, you're dead, you can't be here, you died!

0:14:43 > 0:14:46Am I not beautiful, Thomas?

0:14:46 > 0:14:48As beautiful as the day you married me?

0:14:48 > 0:14:50Who...

0:14:50 > 0:14:52What the hell is all this about?!

0:14:52 > 0:14:55What does it look like, my handsome friend?

0:14:58 > 0:15:00It's a shotgun wedding.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03GUNSHOT

0:15:05 > 0:15:09THUD

0:15:09 > 0:15:11Till death us do part. Twice in this case.

0:15:14 > 0:15:15SCREAMING

0:15:22 > 0:15:23HE BLOWS WHISTLE

0:15:29 > 0:15:31Extraordinary.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33Impossible.

0:15:33 > 0:15:34Superb.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37Suicide as street theatre, murder by corpse. Lestrade, you're spoiling us.

0:15:37 > 0:15:40- Watson, your hat and coat.- Where are we going?- To the morgue.

0:15:40 > 0:15:43There's not a moment to lose, which one can so rarely say of a morgue.

0:15:43 > 0:15:45And am I just to sit here?

0:15:45 > 0:15:47Not at all, my dear. We'll be hungry later.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50Holmes, just one thing, tweeds in a morgue?

0:15:50 > 0:15:52Needs must when the devil drives, Watson.

0:15:55 > 0:15:57Ma'am.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59I'm part of a campaign, you know.

0:15:59 > 0:16:00Oh, campaign?

0:16:00 > 0:16:03Votes for women.

0:16:03 > 0:16:05And are you for or against?

0:16:05 > 0:16:07Get out.

0:16:14 > 0:16:16SHE SIGHS

0:16:19 > 0:16:21DOOR KNOCKS

0:16:21 > 0:16:22Ooh-ooh!

0:16:22 > 0:16:25Oh, have they gone off again, have they?

0:16:25 > 0:16:28I don't know, what a life those gentlemen lead.

0:16:28 > 0:16:31Huh, yes. Those gentlemen(!)

0:16:31 > 0:16:32Oh, never you mind.

0:16:32 > 0:16:36Oh, almost forgot, that came for you.

0:16:36 > 0:16:37Oh.

0:16:44 > 0:16:48Mrs Hudson, tell my husband I'll be home late,

0:16:48 > 0:16:50I have some urgent business.

0:16:50 > 0:16:52Is everything all right?

0:16:52 > 0:16:54Oh, you know, just a, er, friend in need.

0:16:54 > 0:16:57Oh, dear. What friend?

0:16:57 > 0:16:58England.

0:17:01 > 0:17:04Well, that's not very specific.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10Who's on mortuary duty?

0:17:10 > 0:17:11You know who.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13Always him.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15HORSE NEIGHS

0:17:20 > 0:17:22Please tell me which idiot did this!

0:17:25 > 0:17:27It's for everyone's safety.

0:17:29 > 0:17:32This woman is dead, half her head is missing.

0:17:32 > 0:17:34She's not a threat to anyone.

0:17:34 > 0:17:37Tell that to her husband, he's under a sheet over there.

0:17:37 > 0:17:39Whatever happened in Limehouse last night, I think

0:17:39 > 0:17:42we can safely assume it wasn't the work of a dead woman.

0:17:42 > 0:17:44Stranger things have happened.

0:17:44 > 0:17:46Such as...?

0:17:46 > 0:17:49Well... Strange things.

0:17:49 > 0:17:50You're speaking like a child.

0:17:50 > 0:17:54This is clearly man's work. Where is he?

0:17:54 > 0:17:56DOOR OPENS

0:17:57 > 0:17:58Holmes.

0:18:00 > 0:18:01Hooper.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06You, back to work!

0:18:08 > 0:18:11So, come to astonish us with your magic tricks, I suppose?

0:18:11 > 0:18:14Is there anything to which you would like to draw my attention?

0:18:14 > 0:18:16Nothing at all, Mr Holmes.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18You may leave any time you like.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22Dr Hooper, I asked Mr Holmes to come here. Cooperate.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24That's an order.

0:18:26 > 0:18:28There are two "features of interest",

0:18:28 > 0:18:30as you are always saying in Dr Watson's stories.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32I never say that.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34You do, actually, quite a lot.

0:18:34 > 0:18:37First of all, this is definitely Emelia Ricoletti.

0:18:37 > 0:18:40She has been categorically identified.

0:18:40 > 0:18:41Beyond a doubt, it is her.

0:18:41 > 0:18:43Then who was that in Limehouse last night?

0:18:43 > 0:18:45That was also Emelia Ricoletti.

0:18:45 > 0:18:48It can't have been. She was dead, she was here.

0:18:48 > 0:18:52She was positively identified by her own husband, seconds before he died.

0:18:52 > 0:18:55He had no reason to lie, could hardly have been mistaken.

0:18:55 > 0:18:58The cabbie knew her, too, there's no question it's her.

0:18:58 > 0:19:01But she can't have been in two places at the same time, can she?

0:19:01 > 0:19:04No, Watson, one place is strictly the limit for the recently deceased.

0:19:04 > 0:19:06- Holmes! - CLICKS FINGERS

0:19:06 > 0:19:09- Could it have been twins? - No.- Why not?

0:19:09 > 0:19:10Because it's never twins.

0:19:10 > 0:19:12Emelia was not a twin, nor did she have any sisters.

0:19:12 > 0:19:15She had one older brother who died four years ago.

0:19:15 > 0:19:19Hmm, maybe it was a secret twin.

0:19:19 > 0:19:21A what?!

0:19:21 > 0:19:22A secret twin.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25Hmm? You know?

0:19:25 > 0:19:26A twin that nobody knows about.

0:19:26 > 0:19:28This whole thing could have been planned.

0:19:28 > 0:19:32Since the moment of conception. How breathtakingly prescient of her.

0:19:32 > 0:19:36- It is never twins, Watson! - Then what's your theory?

0:19:36 > 0:19:38More to the point, what's your problem?

0:19:38 > 0:19:41- I, I don't understand... - Why were you so frightened?

0:19:41 > 0:19:43Nothing so far has justified your assault on my decanter,

0:19:43 > 0:19:46and why have you allowed a dead woman to be placed under arrest?

0:19:46 > 0:19:49Ah, that would be the other feature of interest.

0:19:50 > 0:19:53A smear of blood on her finger.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55That could have happened any number of ways.

0:19:55 > 0:19:57Indeed. There's one other thing.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00It wasn't there earlier.

0:20:01 > 0:20:03Neither was that.

0:20:13 > 0:20:14You!

0:20:14 > 0:20:16You?

0:20:16 > 0:20:18You?!

0:20:18 > 0:20:19Holmes?

0:20:21 > 0:20:26Gun in the mouth, a bullet through the brain...

0:20:26 > 0:20:28Back of the head blown clean off.

0:20:30 > 0:20:32How could he survive?

0:20:35 > 0:20:36"She", you mean.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38I'm sorry?

0:20:38 > 0:20:40Not "he", "she".

0:20:40 > 0:20:41Yes, yes of course.

0:20:43 > 0:20:44HE STARTS

0:20:44 > 0:20:46Well, thank you all for a fascinating case.

0:20:46 > 0:20:49I'll send you a telegram when I've solved it. Watson.

0:20:51 > 0:20:53The gunshot wound was obviously the cause of death,

0:20:53 > 0:20:56but there are clear indicators of consumption.

0:20:56 > 0:20:57It might be worth a postmortem.

0:20:57 > 0:20:59We need all the information we can get.

0:20:59 > 0:21:02Oh, isn't he observant, now that Daddy's gone(!)

0:21:06 > 0:21:12I AM observant in some ways, just as Holmes is quite blind in others.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14Really?

0:21:14 > 0:21:15Yes, really.

0:21:17 > 0:21:20Amazing...what one has to do to get ahead in a man's world.

0:21:30 > 0:21:32What's he saying that for?

0:21:32 > 0:21:33Get back to work!

0:21:41 > 0:21:44Well, Holmes? Surely you must have some theory?

0:21:44 > 0:21:49Not yet. These are deep waters, Watson, deep waters.

0:21:52 > 0:21:54And I shall have to go deeper still.

0:22:02 > 0:22:05"It was not for several months that we were to pick up

0:22:05 > 0:22:08"the threads of this strange case again.

0:22:08 > 0:22:12"And then under very unexpected circumstances."

0:22:12 > 0:22:15Five of them now, all the same, every one of them.

0:22:15 > 0:22:18Hush, please, this is a matter of supreme importance.

0:22:18 > 0:22:21- What is? - The obliquity of the ecliptic. I have to understand it.

0:22:21 > 0:22:23- What is it?- I don't know, I'm still trying to understand it.

0:22:23 > 0:22:28- I thought you understood everything. - Of course not, that would be an appalling waste of brain space.

0:22:28 > 0:22:33- I specialise.- And what's so important about this?- What's so important about five boring murders?

0:22:33 > 0:22:37They're not boring. Five men dead, murdered in their own homes, rice on the floor

0:22:37 > 0:22:41like at a wedding, and the word "You" written in blood on the wall!

0:22:42 > 0:22:46It's, it's her, it's the Bride. Somehow she's risen again.

0:22:46 > 0:22:48- Solved it. - You can't have solved it!

0:22:48 > 0:22:51Of course I've solved it, it's perfectly simple.

0:22:51 > 0:22:54The incident of the mysterious Mrs Ricoletti, the killer from

0:22:54 > 0:22:56beyond the grave, has been widely reported in the popular press.

0:22:56 > 0:22:59Now people are disguising their own dull little murders as the

0:22:59 > 0:23:02work of a ghost, to confuse the impossibly imbecilic Scotland Yard.

0:23:02 > 0:23:04There you are, solved.

0:23:04 > 0:23:07Pay Mrs Hudson a visit on your way out, she likes to feel involved.

0:23:07 > 0:23:08You sure?

0:23:08 > 0:23:11Certainly. Go away. Watson! I'm ready.

0:23:11 > 0:23:15Your hat and boots, we have an important appointment.

0:23:15 > 0:23:18Didn't Dr Watson move out a few months ago?

0:23:18 > 0:23:20He did, didn't he?

0:23:20 > 0:23:22Who have I been talking to all this time?

0:23:22 > 0:23:25Well, speaking on behalf of the impossibly imbecilic Scotland Yard,

0:23:25 > 0:23:28that chair is definitely empty.

0:23:29 > 0:23:33It is, isn't it? Works surprisingly well, though.

0:23:33 > 0:23:35I actually thought he was improving.

0:24:01 > 0:24:03HE EXHALES

0:24:10 > 0:24:12Ah. Where have you been?

0:24:12 > 0:24:14Sorry, sir, I'm rather behind my time this morning.

0:24:14 > 0:24:17Are you incapable of boiling an egg?!

0:24:17 > 0:24:19The fires are rarely lit, there is dust everywhere

0:24:19 > 0:24:22and you almost destroyed my boots scraping the mud off them.

0:24:22 > 0:24:26If it wasn't my wife's business to deal with the staff, I would talk to you myself.

0:24:26 > 0:24:29- Where is my wife? - Begging your pardon, sir, but the mistress has gone out.

0:24:29 > 0:24:32- Out? At this hour of the morning? - Yes, sir. Did you not know that, sir?

0:24:32 > 0:24:35Where did she go? She's always out these days.

0:24:35 > 0:24:37- CHUCKLING:- Not unlike yourself...sir.

0:24:37 > 0:24:38I'm sorry...?

0:24:38 > 0:24:42- Just observing, sir. - Well, that's quite enough, nobody asked you to be observant.

0:24:42 > 0:24:45Sorry, sir, I just meant you're hardly ever home together any more, sir.

0:24:45 > 0:24:47You are dangerously close to impertinence.

0:24:47 > 0:24:50I shall have a word with my wife to have a word with you.

0:24:50 > 0:24:53Very good, sir. And when will you be seeing her?

0:24:53 > 0:24:55Now, listen...

0:24:55 > 0:24:59- Oh, I nearly forgot, sir. A telegram came for you.- You forgot?!

0:24:59 > 0:25:01- No, I nearly forgot.- What have you been doing all morning?

0:25:01 > 0:25:04Reading your new one in The Strand, sir.

0:25:04 > 0:25:06Did you enjoy it?

0:25:06 > 0:25:07Why do you never mention me, sir?

0:25:07 > 0:25:09Go away.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27- The what of the what? - The obliquity of the ecliptic.

0:25:27 > 0:25:29"Come at once," you said. I assumed it was important.

0:25:29 > 0:25:30It is.

0:25:30 > 0:25:34It's the inclination of the earth's equator to the path of the sun

0:25:34 > 0:25:35on the celestial plane.

0:25:35 > 0:25:39- CHUCKLING:- You been swotting up? - Why would I do that?- To sound clever.

0:25:39 > 0:25:41- I am clever.- Oh, oh, I see. - You see what?

0:25:41 > 0:25:45I deduce we're on our way to see someone cleverer than you.

0:25:47 > 0:25:48Shut up.

0:25:59 > 0:26:01Sh...

0:26:59 > 0:27:00Sorry, what? Oh.

0:27:18 > 0:27:20To anyone who wishes to study mankind, this is the spot.

0:27:20 > 0:27:24Handy really, as your ever-expanding backside is permanently glued to it.

0:27:24 > 0:27:28- Good morning, brother mine. - Sherlock. Dr Watson.

0:27:29 > 0:27:31You look...well, sir.

0:27:31 > 0:27:33Really? I rather thought I looked enormous.

0:27:33 > 0:27:36Well, now you mention it, this level of consumption

0:27:36 > 0:27:40is incredibly injurious to your health.

0:27:40 > 0:27:42- Your heart...- No need to worry on that score, Watson.- No?

0:27:42 > 0:27:45There's only a large cavity where that organ should reside.

0:27:45 > 0:27:47- It's a family trait. - Oh, I wasn't being critical.

0:27:47 > 0:27:50If you continue like this, sir, I give you five years at the most.

0:27:50 > 0:27:54Five? We thought three, did we not, Sherlock?

0:27:54 > 0:27:55I'm still inclined to four.

0:27:55 > 0:27:57As ever, you see but you do not observe.

0:27:57 > 0:27:59Note the discolouration in the whites of my eyes,

0:27:59 > 0:28:01the visible rings of fat around the corneas.

0:28:01 > 0:28:05- Yes, you're right. I'm changing my bet to three years, four months and 11 days.- A bet?!

0:28:05 > 0:28:07I understand your disapproval, Watson,

0:28:07 > 0:28:10but if he's feeling competitive, it's perfectly within his power to die early.

0:28:10 > 0:28:13- That's a risk you'll have to take. - You're gambling with your own life?

0:28:13 > 0:28:17Why not? It's so much more exciting than gambling with others'.

0:28:17 > 0:28:19- Three years flat - if you eat that plum pudding!- Done.

0:28:21 > 0:28:22HE GRUNTS

0:28:25 > 0:28:28I expected to see you a few days ago about the Manor House case.

0:28:28 > 0:28:31I thought you might be a little out of your depth there.

0:28:31 > 0:28:32No. I solved it.

0:28:32 > 0:28:34- It was Adams, of course. - Yes, it was Adams.

0:28:34 > 0:28:38Murderous jealousy. He'd written a paper for the Royal Astronomical Society

0:28:38 > 0:28:41on the obliquity of the ecliptic,

0:28:41 > 0:28:44- and then read another that seemed to surpass it.- I know, I read it.

0:28:44 > 0:28:45Did you understand it?

0:28:45 > 0:28:48Yes, of course I understood it, it was perfectly simple.

0:28:48 > 0:28:51No, did you understand the murderous jealousy?

0:28:51 > 0:28:55It is no easy thing for a great mind to contemplate a still greater one.

0:28:56 > 0:28:58Did you summon me here just to humiliate me?

0:28:58 > 0:29:00Yes.

0:29:00 > 0:29:02Of course not, but it is by far the greater pleasure.

0:29:02 > 0:29:05Then would you mind explaining exactly why you did summon...?

0:29:05 > 0:29:08Our way of life is under threat from an invisible enemy.

0:29:08 > 0:29:11One that hovers at our elbow on a daily basis.

0:29:11 > 0:29:17These enemies are everywhere... undetected...and unstoppable.

0:29:17 > 0:29:18Socialists?

0:29:18 > 0:29:20Not socialists, Doctor, no.

0:29:20 > 0:29:22- Anarchists?- No.

0:29:22 > 0:29:24The French? The suffragists?

0:29:24 > 0:29:27Is there any large body of people you're not concerned about?

0:29:27 > 0:29:30Dr Watson is endlessly vigilant. Elaborate...

0:29:30 > 0:29:31No. Investigate.

0:29:31 > 0:29:34This is a conjecture of mine, I need you to confirm it.

0:29:34 > 0:29:36I'm sending you a case.

0:29:36 > 0:29:37- The Scots?- The Scots?!

0:29:37 > 0:29:40Are you aware of recent theories concerning what is

0:29:40 > 0:29:41known as paranoia?

0:29:41 > 0:29:43Oh, sounds Serbian.

0:29:43 > 0:29:45A woman will call on you - Lady Carmichael.

0:29:45 > 0:29:47I want you to take her case.

0:29:47 > 0:29:49But these enemies, how are we to defeat them

0:29:49 > 0:29:50if you won't tell us about them?

0:29:50 > 0:29:54We don't defeat them. We most certainly lose to them.

0:29:54 > 0:29:56Why?

0:29:57 > 0:30:01Because they are right. And we are wrong.

0:30:02 > 0:30:04Lady Carmichael's case, what is it?

0:30:04 > 0:30:07Rest assured, it has features of interest.

0:30:07 > 0:30:09- I never really say that. - You really do.

0:30:09 > 0:30:11And you've solved it already, I assume?

0:30:11 > 0:30:14Only in my head. I need you for the, er, legwork.

0:30:14 > 0:30:16Why not just tell us your solution?

0:30:16 > 0:30:19And where would be the sport in that?

0:30:19 > 0:30:20Will you do it, Sherlock?

0:30:20 > 0:30:23I can promise you a superior distraction.

0:30:23 > 0:30:25On one condition. Have another plum pudding.

0:30:25 > 0:30:26There's one on the way.

0:30:26 > 0:30:28Two years, 11 months and four days.

0:30:28 > 0:30:32Ha, it's getting exciting now! Ticktock, ticktock, ticktock.

0:30:36 > 0:30:37Thank you, Wilder.

0:30:37 > 0:30:41Also, a Mr Melas to see you, Mr Holmes.

0:30:41 > 0:30:43Ah. Give me five minutes, I have a wager to win.

0:30:46 > 0:30:49Better make that 15.

0:30:50 > 0:30:52Ticktock.

0:30:52 > 0:30:54SQUELCH

0:30:56 > 0:30:58Mr Holmes, I have come here for advice.

0:30:58 > 0:31:00- That is easily got. - And help.

0:31:00 > 0:31:02Not always so easy.

0:31:02 > 0:31:06Something has happened, Mr Holmes, something...unusual

0:31:06 > 0:31:09and...terrifying.

0:31:09 > 0:31:10Then you are in luck.

0:31:10 > 0:31:11- SCOFFING:- Luck?!

0:31:11 > 0:31:14Those are my specialisms. Hmm, this is really very promising.

0:31:14 > 0:31:15Holmes...

0:31:17 > 0:31:19Please...do tell us what has so distressed you.

0:31:21 > 0:31:24I, I thought long and hard as to what to do,

0:31:24 > 0:31:27but then it occurred to me that my husband was

0:31:27 > 0:31:32an acquaintance of your brother and that perhaps through him...

0:31:32 > 0:31:35The fact is, I'm not sure this comes within your purview, Mr Holmes.

0:31:35 > 0:31:36No?

0:31:36 > 0:31:39Lord help me, I think it may be a matter for a priest.

0:31:41 > 0:31:44And what does your morning threaten, my dear?

0:31:45 > 0:31:48A vigorous round of embroidering?

0:31:48 > 0:31:50An exhausting appointment at the milliners?

0:31:50 > 0:31:52I hope you are teasing, Eustace.

0:31:52 > 0:31:54HE CHUCKLES

0:32:00 > 0:32:03SINISTER SCORE

0:32:03 > 0:32:04What is it?

0:32:04 > 0:32:07Eustace?

0:32:07 > 0:32:08Daniel, Sophie, go out and play.

0:32:08 > 0:32:10But, Mama...

0:32:10 > 0:32:12Look, do as I tell you, quickly now.

0:32:25 > 0:32:27SHE LAUGHS

0:32:27 > 0:32:29Well, Eustace, what does this mean?

0:32:33 > 0:32:34Death.

0:32:34 > 0:32:36What?

0:32:36 > 0:32:37It means death.

0:32:41 > 0:32:45Er, nothing, it's, er, it's nothing.

0:32:45 > 0:32:47I was...mistaken.

0:32:47 > 0:32:49My dear, you've gone quite pale.

0:32:50 > 0:32:52It's nothing!

0:32:55 > 0:32:56Eustace...

0:32:56 > 0:32:57'Did you keep the envelope?'

0:32:57 > 0:33:00My husband destroyed it, but it was blank.

0:33:00 > 0:33:02No name or address of any kind.

0:33:02 > 0:33:06Tell me, has Sir Eustace spent time in America?

0:33:06 > 0:33:08- No. - Not even before your marriage?

0:33:08 > 0:33:11- Well, not to my knowledge. - Hmm.

0:33:11 > 0:33:14Pray, continue with your fascinating narrative.

0:33:15 > 0:33:19Well, that incident took place last Monday morning.

0:33:19 > 0:33:21It was two days later on the Wednesday

0:33:21 > 0:33:23that my husband first saw her.

0:33:23 > 0:33:25Who?

0:33:29 > 0:33:31Eustace?

0:33:31 > 0:33:33HE MOANS

0:33:33 > 0:33:36HE WHIMPERS

0:33:36 > 0:33:38She's come for me, Louisa!

0:33:38 > 0:33:41Oh, God, help me, my sins have found me out!

0:33:41 > 0:33:45Who's come for you? Eustace, you're frightening me.

0:33:45 > 0:33:47Well, look, look!

0:33:51 > 0:33:53Don't you see her?

0:33:53 > 0:33:54No, I see no-one.

0:34:00 > 0:34:02Gone.

0:34:02 > 0:34:04HE WAILS

0:34:05 > 0:34:08You keep so many secrets from me, is this another?

0:34:08 > 0:34:09Who have you seen?

0:34:11 > 0:34:12It was her!

0:34:14 > 0:34:16It was the Bride!

0:34:19 > 0:34:20And you saw nothing?

0:34:20 > 0:34:22Nothing.

0:34:22 > 0:34:25- Did your husband describe...? - Nothing, until this morning.

0:34:41 > 0:34:43Eustace?!

0:34:46 > 0:34:48SHE PANTS

0:34:55 > 0:34:56Eustace?!

0:35:05 > 0:35:07Eustace?

0:35:10 > 0:35:12Eustace?!

0:35:13 > 0:35:14Argh!

0:35:16 > 0:35:18Blast!

0:35:18 > 0:35:20Eustace?!

0:35:20 > 0:35:22Where are you? It's me!

0:35:24 > 0:35:29# Do not forget me

0:35:29 > 0:35:33# Do not forget me

0:35:35 > 0:35:38# Remember the maid

0:35:38 > 0:35:41# The maid of the mill... #

0:35:56 > 0:35:57Who are you?

0:35:59 > 0:36:02I demand you speak, who are you?!

0:36:05 > 0:36:09Eustace, speak to me. In the name of God!

0:36:11 > 0:36:13She's...

0:36:13 > 0:36:15She is Emelia Ricoletti.

0:36:23 > 0:36:25No, not you.

0:36:27 > 0:36:28No...

0:36:29 > 0:36:31Please!

0:36:31 > 0:36:36This night, Eustace Carmichael, you will die!

0:36:39 > 0:36:41DRAMATIC SCORE BUILDS

0:36:43 > 0:36:44HE GROANS

0:36:48 > 0:36:50SHE GROANS

0:37:04 > 0:37:07- Holmes? - Hush, Watson.

0:37:07 > 0:37:09But Emelia Ricoletti, the Bride.

0:37:09 > 0:37:11- Well, you know the name? - You must forgive Watson,

0:37:11 > 0:37:14he has an enthusiasm for stating the obvious, which borders on mania.

0:37:14 > 0:37:16May I ask, how is your husband this morning?

0:37:16 > 0:37:19He refuses to speak about the matter.

0:37:19 > 0:37:23- Obviously, I have urged him to leave the house.- No, no, he must stay exactly where he is.

0:37:23 > 0:37:24Well, you don't think he's in danger?

0:37:24 > 0:37:29Oh, no, somebody definitely wants to kill him, but that's good for us. You can't set a trap without bait.

0:37:29 > 0:37:32- My husband is not bait, Mr Holmes. - No, but he could be if we play our cards right.

0:37:32 > 0:37:34Now, listen, you must go home immediately.

0:37:34 > 0:37:37Dr Watson and I will follow on the next train.

0:37:37 > 0:37:39- There's not a moment to lose, Sir Eustace is to die tonight. - Holmes.

0:37:39 > 0:37:42And we should...probably avoid that.

0:37:42 > 0:37:44- Definitely. - Definitely avoid that.

0:37:50 > 0:37:53Little brother has taken the case, of course.

0:37:53 > 0:37:56I now rely on you to keep an eye on things,

0:37:56 > 0:37:58but he must never suspect you are working for me.

0:37:58 > 0:38:00Are you clear on that, Watson?

0:38:04 > 0:38:06You can rely on me, Mr Holmes.

0:38:09 > 0:38:12- You don't suppose... - I don't and neither should you.

0:38:12 > 0:38:13You don't know what I was going to say.

0:38:13 > 0:38:16You were about to suggest there may be some supernatural agency

0:38:16 > 0:38:19involved in this matter. And I was about to laugh in your face.

0:38:19 > 0:38:21But the Bride, Holmes, Emelia Ricoletti again.

0:38:21 > 0:38:23A dead woman walking the earth.

0:38:23 > 0:38:26- SIGHING: You amaze me, Watson. - I do?

0:38:26 > 0:38:29Since when have you had any kind of imagination?

0:38:29 > 0:38:31Perhaps since I convinced the reading public that

0:38:31 > 0:38:34an unprincipled drug addict was some kind of gentleman hero.

0:38:34 > 0:38:37Yes, now you come to mention it, that was quite impressive.

0:38:37 > 0:38:41You may, however, rest assured there are no ghosts in this world.

0:38:43 > 0:38:44TRAIN WHISTLE

0:38:44 > 0:38:47(Save those we make for ourselves.)

0:38:48 > 0:38:51Sorry, what did you say?

0:38:51 > 0:38:54Ghosts we make for ourselves, what do you mean?

0:38:59 > 0:39:01Somnambulism.

0:39:01 > 0:39:02I beg your pardon?

0:39:02 > 0:39:06I sleepwalk, that's all. It's a common enough condition.

0:39:06 > 0:39:08I thought you were a doctor!

0:39:08 > 0:39:11The whole thing was a...bad dream.

0:39:11 > 0:39:14Including the contents of the envelope you received?

0:39:14 > 0:39:16Well, that's a grotesque joke.

0:39:16 > 0:39:19Well, that's not the impression you gave your wife, sir.

0:39:19 > 0:39:22- She's an hysteric, prone to fancies. - No.

0:39:24 > 0:39:27- I'm sorry, what did you say? - I said no, she's not an hysteric.

0:39:27 > 0:39:30She's a highly intelligent woman of rare perception.

0:39:30 > 0:39:33My wife sees terror in an orange pip.

0:39:33 > 0:39:35Your wife can see worlds where no-one else can see

0:39:35 > 0:39:37anything of value whatsoever.

0:39:37 > 0:39:39Can she really(?)

0:39:39 > 0:39:42And how do you "deduce" that, Mr Holmes?

0:39:42 > 0:39:44She married you.

0:39:44 > 0:39:47I assume she was capable of finding a reason.

0:39:47 > 0:39:49I'll do my best to save your life tonight, but first it would

0:39:49 > 0:39:53help if you would explain your connection to the Ricoletti case.

0:39:53 > 0:39:55Ricoletti?

0:39:55 > 0:39:57Yes. In detail, please.

0:39:57 > 0:39:59I've never heard of her.

0:39:59 > 0:40:01Interesting. I didn't mention she was a woman.

0:40:01 > 0:40:04We'll show ourselves out. I hope to see you again in the morning.

0:40:04 > 0:40:06You will not.

0:40:06 > 0:40:09Then sadly I shall be solving your murder. Good day.

0:40:14 > 0:40:15Well, you tried.

0:40:17 > 0:40:20Will you see that Lady Carmichael receives this. Thank you.

0:40:20 > 0:40:22- Good afternoon.- Certainly, sir. - What was that?

0:40:22 > 0:40:24Lady Carmichael will sleep alone tonight,

0:40:24 > 0:40:26upon the pretence of a violent headache.

0:40:26 > 0:40:28All the doors and windows of the house will be locked.

0:40:28 > 0:40:33Ha! You think the spectre, er, Bride,

0:40:33 > 0:40:36will attempt to lure Sir Eustace outside again?

0:40:36 > 0:40:38Certainly. Why else the portentous threat?

0:40:38 > 0:40:41- "This night you will die!" - Well, he won't follow her, surely?

0:40:41 > 0:40:44Hmm, it's difficult to say quite what he'll do.

0:40:44 > 0:40:46- Guilt is eating away at his soul. - Guilt? About what?

0:40:46 > 0:40:49Something in his past. The orange pips were a reminder.

0:40:49 > 0:40:50- Not a joke? - Not at all.

0:40:50 > 0:40:54Orange pips are a traditional warning of avenging death,

0:40:54 > 0:40:55originating in America.

0:40:55 > 0:40:57Sir Eustace knows this only too well,

0:40:57 > 0:40:59just as he knows why he is to be punished.

0:40:59 > 0:41:01Something to do with Emelia Ricoletti?

0:41:01 > 0:41:05I presume. We all have a past, Watson. Ghosts.

0:41:05 > 0:41:08They are the shadows that define our every sunny day.

0:41:08 > 0:41:10Sir Eustace knows he's a marked man.

0:41:10 > 0:41:13There's something more than murder he fears.

0:41:13 > 0:41:16He believes he is to be dragged to hell by the risen corpse

0:41:16 > 0:41:18of the late Mrs Ricoletti.

0:41:21 > 0:41:23That's a lot of nonsense, isn't it?

0:41:23 > 0:41:24God, yes. Did you bring your revolver?

0:41:24 > 0:41:26What good would that be against a ghost?

0:41:26 > 0:41:28- Exactly. Did you bring it? - Yeah, of course.

0:41:28 > 0:41:31Then come, Watson, come. The game is afoot.

0:41:39 > 0:41:40WATSON GROANS

0:41:40 > 0:41:43- Get down, Watson, for heaven's sake! - Sorry. Cramp.

0:41:47 > 0:41:49- Is the lamp still burning? - Yes.

0:41:52 > 0:41:54There goes Sir Eustace.

0:41:55 > 0:41:58And Lady Carmichael.

0:41:58 > 0:41:59The house sleeps.

0:42:03 > 0:42:05Hmm, good God, this is the longest night of my life.

0:42:05 > 0:42:07Have patience, Watson.

0:42:09 > 0:42:10Only midnight.

0:42:12 > 0:42:16You know, it's rare for us to sit together like this.

0:42:16 > 0:42:18I should hope so. It's murder on the knees.

0:42:20 > 0:42:23Two old friends just talking. Chewing the fat.

0:42:25 > 0:42:26Man-to-man.

0:42:31 > 0:42:33So, a remarkable woman.

0:42:33 > 0:42:35- Who? - Lady Carmichael.

0:42:35 > 0:42:37The fair sex is your department, Watson.

0:42:37 > 0:42:41- I'll take your word for it. - Well, you liked her. "A woman of rare perception."

0:42:41 > 0:42:44And admirably high arches. I noticed them as soon as she stepped into the room.

0:42:44 > 0:42:46- Huh, she's far too good for him. - You think so?

0:42:46 > 0:42:48No. You think so. I could tell.

0:42:48 > 0:42:50On the contrary, I have no view on the matter.

0:42:50 > 0:42:52Yes, you have.

0:42:53 > 0:42:56- Marriage is not a subject upon which I dwell.- Oh, why not?

0:42:56 > 0:42:58What's the matter with you this evening?

0:42:58 > 0:43:01That watch that you're wearing, there's a photograph inside it.

0:43:01 > 0:43:04I glimpsed it once. I believe it is of Irene Adler.

0:43:04 > 0:43:07You didn't glimpse it, you waited till I'd fallen asleep

0:43:07 > 0:43:08- and looked at it.- Yes, I did.

0:43:08 > 0:43:11- You seriously thought I wouldn't notice?- Irene Adler.

0:43:11 > 0:43:13Formidable opponent, a remarkable adventure.

0:43:13 > 0:43:15- A very nice photograph. - Why are you talking like this?

0:43:15 > 0:43:18- Why are you so determined to be alone?- Are you quite well, Watson?

0:43:18 > 0:43:19Is it such a curious question?

0:43:19 > 0:43:21From a Viennese alienist, no.

0:43:21 > 0:43:23From a retired Army surgeon, most certainly.

0:43:23 > 0:43:27Holmes, against absolutely no opposition whatsoever,

0:43:27 > 0:43:29- I am your closest friend. - I concede it.

0:43:29 > 0:43:31I am currently attempting to have

0:43:31 > 0:43:33a perfectly normal conversation with you.

0:43:33 > 0:43:35Please don't.

0:43:35 > 0:43:37Why do you need to be alone?

0:43:37 > 0:43:40If you are referring to romantic entanglement, Watson,

0:43:40 > 0:43:42which I rather fear you are, as I have often explained before,

0:43:42 > 0:43:45all emotion is abhorrent to me.

0:43:45 > 0:43:47It is the grit in a sensitive instrument.

0:43:47 > 0:43:49- The crack in the lens. - The crack in the lens. Yes.

0:43:49 > 0:43:52- Well, there you are, you see, I've said it all before. - No, I wrote all that.

0:43:52 > 0:43:55- You're quoting yourself from The Strand Magazine.- Well, exactly.

0:43:55 > 0:43:58Those are my words, not yours!

0:43:58 > 0:44:01That is the version of you that I present to the public.

0:44:01 > 0:44:04The brain without a heart. The calculating machine.

0:44:04 > 0:44:07I write all of that, Holmes, and the readers lap it up.

0:44:07 > 0:44:08But I do not believe it.

0:44:08 > 0:44:12- Well, I've a good mind to write to your editor.- You are a living, breathing man.

0:44:12 > 0:44:14- You've lived a life, you have a past.- A what?!

0:44:14 > 0:44:15Well, you must have had...

0:44:15 > 0:44:16Had what?

0:44:18 > 0:44:20- You know. - No.

0:44:21 > 0:44:23Experiences.

0:44:23 > 0:44:25Pass me your revolver, I have a sudden need to use it.

0:44:25 > 0:44:28Damn it, Holmes, you are flesh and blood, you have feelings,

0:44:28 > 0:44:29you have...

0:44:29 > 0:44:32You must have... Impulses.

0:44:32 > 0:44:33Dear Lord, I have never been

0:44:33 > 0:44:36so impatient to be attacked by a murderous ghost.

0:44:36 > 0:44:39As your friend, as someone who worries about you...

0:44:41 > 0:44:43..what made you like this?

0:44:44 > 0:44:46Oh, Watson...

0:44:48 > 0:44:49Nothing made me.

0:44:50 > 0:44:52DOG YELPS

0:44:52 > 0:44:53I made me.

0:44:55 > 0:44:57Redbeard?

0:44:57 > 0:44:58Good God!

0:45:04 > 0:45:05What are we to do?

0:45:10 > 0:45:12Why don't we have a chat?

0:45:18 > 0:45:21Mrs Ricoletti, I believe!

0:45:21 > 0:45:23A pleasant night for the time of year, is it not?

0:45:23 > 0:45:25It cannot be true, Holmes, it cannot!

0:45:25 > 0:45:28No, it can't.

0:45:38 > 0:45:40That was a window breaking, wasn't it?

0:45:40 > 0:45:43There's only one broken window we need concern ourselves with.

0:45:53 > 0:45:54- Stay here, Watson. - What? No.

0:45:54 > 0:45:56All the doors and windows to the house are locked.

0:45:56 > 0:45:58This is their only way out, I need you here!

0:45:58 > 0:46:03- But the sound was so close. It had to be from this side of the house. - Stay here!

0:48:27 > 0:48:29THERE ARE NO GHOSTS!

0:48:32 > 0:48:35What happened? Where is Sir Eustace?

0:48:38 > 0:48:39Dead.

0:48:42 > 0:48:45You really mustn't blame yourself, you know.

0:48:45 > 0:48:48- EXHALES: No, you're quite right. - I'm glad you're seeing sense.

0:48:48 > 0:48:50Watson is equally culpable.

0:48:50 > 0:48:52Between us, we've managed to botch this whole case.

0:48:52 > 0:48:54I gave an undertaking to protect that man,

0:48:54 > 0:48:56now he's lying there with a dagger in his breast.

0:48:56 > 0:48:59In fact, you gave an undertaking to investigate his murder.

0:48:59 > 0:49:02In the confident expectation I would not have to!

0:49:03 > 0:49:05Anything you can tell us, Doctor?

0:49:05 > 0:49:09Well, he's been stabbed with considerable force.

0:49:09 > 0:49:10It's a man, then?

0:49:10 > 0:49:12Possibly.

0:49:12 > 0:49:15A very keen blade, so it could conceivably have been a woman?

0:49:15 > 0:49:17In theory, yes, but we know who it was, I saw her.

0:49:17 > 0:49:19- Watson! - I saw the ghost, with my own eyes!

0:49:19 > 0:49:22You saw nothing! You saw what you were supposed to see!

0:49:22 > 0:49:24You said yourself, I have no imagination.

0:49:24 > 0:49:26Then use your brain, such as it is, to eliminate the impossible,

0:49:26 > 0:49:30which in this case is the ghost, and observe what remains, which in this case is a solution

0:49:30 > 0:49:33- so blindingly obvious even Lestrade could work it out!- Thank you!

0:49:33 > 0:49:35Forget spectres from the other world!

0:49:35 > 0:49:38There is only one suspect with motive and opportunity.

0:49:38 > 0:49:40- They might as well have left a note. - They did leave a note.

0:49:40 > 0:49:42And then there's the matter of the other broken window.

0:49:42 > 0:49:45- What other broken window? - Precisely! There isn't one.

0:49:45 > 0:49:48The only broken window is the one that Watson and I entered through,

0:49:48 > 0:49:50yet, prior to that, we distinctly heard the sound of...

0:49:50 > 0:49:53- What did you just say?- Sorry? - About a note, what did you just say?

0:49:53 > 0:49:56- I said the murderer DID leave a note.- No, they didn't.

0:49:56 > 0:49:59There's a message tied to the dagger. You must have seen it!

0:49:59 > 0:50:00- There's no message.- Yes!

0:50:00 > 0:50:03There was no message when I found the body.

0:50:19 > 0:50:20Holmes?

0:50:24 > 0:50:25What is it?

0:50:44 > 0:50:45Do you?

0:50:45 > 0:50:47Do I what?

0:50:50 > 0:50:52H-how did you get that?

0:50:52 > 0:50:55I left it at the crime scene.

0:50:55 > 0:50:58"Crime scene"? Where do you pick up these extraordinary expressions?

0:50:58 > 0:51:00Do you miss him?

0:51:00 > 0:51:01Moriarty is dead.

0:51:01 > 0:51:03And yet...?

0:51:05 > 0:51:07His body was never recovered.

0:51:07 > 0:51:11To be expected when one pushes a maths professor over a waterfall.

0:51:11 > 0:51:14Pure reason toppled by sheer melodrama.

0:51:14 > 0:51:16Your life in a nutshell.

0:51:17 > 0:51:20Where do you pick up these extraordinary expressions?

0:51:32 > 0:51:35HE SNIFFS Have you put on weight?

0:51:36 > 0:51:38You saw me only yesterday. Does that seem possible?

0:51:38 > 0:51:40No.

0:51:40 > 0:51:41Yet here I am, increased.

0:51:41 > 0:51:45What does that tell the foremost criminal investigator in England?

0:51:45 > 0:51:46In England?

0:51:46 > 0:51:50You're in deep, Sherlock, deeper than you ever intended to be.

0:51:50 > 0:51:52- Have you made a list?- Of what?

0:51:52 > 0:51:55Everything. We will need a list.

0:52:00 > 0:52:02Good boy.

0:52:02 > 0:52:05No, I haven't finished yet.

0:52:05 > 0:52:08Moriarty may beg to differ.

0:52:08 > 0:52:09HE SIGHS

0:52:09 > 0:52:13He's trying to distract me. To derail me.

0:52:13 > 0:52:14Yes.

0:52:14 > 0:52:17He's the crack in the lens, the fly in the ointment,

0:52:17 > 0:52:18the virus in the data.

0:52:22 > 0:52:24I have to finish this.

0:52:26 > 0:52:30If Moriarty has risen from the Reichenbach cauldron,

0:52:30 > 0:52:32he will seek you out.

0:52:32 > 0:52:33I'll be waiting.

0:52:40 > 0:52:42Yes.

0:52:46 > 0:52:47I'm very much afraid you will.

0:53:30 > 0:53:32(Two days he's been like that.)

0:53:32 > 0:53:34(Has he eaten?)

0:53:34 > 0:53:35No, not a morsel.

0:53:36 > 0:53:40Press are having a ruddy field day. There's still reporters outside.

0:53:40 > 0:53:43Oh, they've been there all the time, I can't get rid of them.

0:53:43 > 0:53:46I've been rushed off my feet making tea.

0:53:46 > 0:53:48Why do you make him tea?

0:53:49 > 0:53:51I dunno, I just sort of do.

0:53:53 > 0:53:56He said, "There's only one suspect," and then he just walks away

0:53:56 > 0:53:57and now he won't explain.

0:53:57 > 0:53:59Which is strange, because he likes that bit.

0:53:59 > 0:54:02Said it was so simple I could solve it.

0:54:02 > 0:54:03I'm sure he was exaggerating.

0:54:07 > 0:54:09What's he doing, do you think?

0:54:09 > 0:54:11- He says he's waiting. - For what?

0:54:11 > 0:54:15The devil. I wouldn't be surprised.

0:54:15 > 0:54:17We get all sorts here.

0:54:18 > 0:54:23- Well, wire me if there's any change. - Yeah.

0:54:57 > 0:54:59CREAKING

0:55:02 > 0:55:04FOOTSTEPS

0:55:04 > 0:55:06Everything I have to say has already crossed your mind.

0:55:06 > 0:55:09Then possibly my answer has crossed yours.

0:55:09 > 0:55:11Like a bullet.

0:55:18 > 0:55:20It's a dangerous habit,

0:55:20 > 0:55:24to finger loaded firearms in the pocket of one's dressing gown.

0:55:24 > 0:55:26Or are you just pleased to see me?

0:55:29 > 0:55:31NECK CREAKS

0:55:31 > 0:55:33You'll forgive me for taking precautions.

0:55:33 > 0:55:35I'd be offended if you didn't.

0:55:35 > 0:55:38Obviously, I've returned the courtesy.

0:55:41 > 0:55:42BARREL CLICKS

0:55:46 > 0:55:51I like your rooms. They smell so...

0:55:53 > 0:55:56..manly.

0:55:56 > 0:55:58I'm sure you acquainted yourself with them before now.

0:55:58 > 0:56:02Well, you are always away, on your little adventures for The Strand.

0:56:02 > 0:56:05Tell me, does the illustrator travel with you?

0:56:05 > 0:56:08Do you have to pose... during your deductions?

0:56:08 > 0:56:11I'm aware of all six occasions you have visited these apartments

0:56:11 > 0:56:13- during my absence. - I know you are.

0:56:15 > 0:56:18By the way, you have a surprisingly comfortable bed.

0:56:22 > 0:56:25Did you know that dust is largely composed of human skin?

0:56:25 > 0:56:27Yes.

0:56:29 > 0:56:31Doesn't taste the same, though, you want your skin fresh.

0:56:31 > 0:56:34- Just a little crispy. - Won't you sit down?

0:56:34 > 0:56:36That's all people really are, you know,

0:56:36 > 0:56:38dust waiting to be distributed.

0:56:38 > 0:56:39And it gets everywhere. Ugh.

0:56:39 > 0:56:42In every breath you take, dancing in every sunbeam,

0:56:42 > 0:56:45all the used-up people.

0:56:45 > 0:56:47Fascinating, I'm sure. Won't you sit...

0:56:47 > 0:56:50People, people, people! Can't keep anything shiny.

0:56:52 > 0:56:54Do you mind if I fire this?

0:56:54 > 0:56:56Just to clean it out.

0:57:12 > 0:57:14Exactly, let's stop playing.

0:57:14 > 0:57:16We don't need toys to kill each other.

0:57:16 > 0:57:19- Where's the intimacy in that? - Sit down.

0:57:19 > 0:57:21- Why? What do you want? - You chose to come here.

0:57:21 > 0:57:23Not true, you know that's not true.

0:57:23 > 0:57:25What do you want, Sherlock?

0:57:25 > 0:57:27The truth.

0:57:28 > 0:57:31That. Truth's boring!

0:57:35 > 0:57:38You didn't expect me to turn up at the scene of the crime, did you?

0:57:38 > 0:57:41Poor old Sir Eustace. He got what was coming to him.

0:57:41 > 0:57:43But you couldn't have killed him.

0:57:43 > 0:57:47Oh, so what? Does it matter? Stop it. Stop this.

0:57:47 > 0:57:49You don't care about Sir Eustace, or the Bride, or any of it.

0:57:49 > 0:57:53There's only one thing in this whole business that you find interesting.

0:57:53 > 0:57:55(I know what you're doing.)

0:57:55 > 0:57:57RATTLING

0:57:57 > 0:58:00The Bride put a gun in her mouth and shot the back of her head off

0:58:00 > 0:58:01and then she came back.

0:58:03 > 0:58:06Impossible. But she did it.

0:58:06 > 0:58:08And you need to know how.

0:58:09 > 0:58:10How?

0:58:10 > 0:58:12Don't you?

0:58:12 > 0:58:14It's tearing your world apart, not knowing.

0:58:14 > 0:58:19You're trying to stop me... To distract me, derail me.

0:58:19 > 0:58:22Because doesn't this remind you of another case?

0:58:22 > 0:58:25Hasn't this all happened before?

0:58:25 > 0:58:27There's nothing new under the sun. What was it?

0:58:27 > 0:58:31What was it? What was that case? Huh?

0:58:31 > 0:58:32Do you remember?

0:58:35 > 0:58:38(It's on the tip of my tongue. It's on the tip of my tongue.)

0:58:38 > 0:58:40(It's on the tip of my tongue.)

0:58:40 > 0:58:42(It's on the tip...)

0:58:46 > 0:58:48(..of my tongue.)

0:58:52 > 0:58:55For the sake of Mrs Hudson's wallpaper, I must remind you

0:58:55 > 0:58:57that one false move with your finger and you will be dead.

0:58:57 > 0:58:59HE MUMBLES

0:58:59 > 0:59:00I'm sorry?

0:59:02 > 0:59:06Dead...(is the new sexy.)

0:59:09 > 0:59:11RUMBLING

0:59:11 > 0:59:13GUNSHOT

0:59:15 > 0:59:18Well, I'll tell you what, that rather blows the cobwebs away.

0:59:18 > 0:59:20(How can you be alive?)

0:59:20 > 0:59:22How do I look?

0:59:22 > 0:59:23Huh?

0:59:28 > 0:59:30You can be honest, is it noticeable?

0:59:30 > 0:59:33You blew your own brains out, how could you survive?

0:59:33 > 0:59:35Or maybe I could backcomb.

0:59:35 > 0:59:36I saw you die.

0:59:38 > 0:59:40Why aren't you dead?

0:59:40 > 0:59:44Because it's not the fall that kills you, Sherlock.

0:59:44 > 0:59:47Of all people, you should know that, it's not the fall,

0:59:47 > 0:59:48it's never the fall.

0:59:51 > 0:59:53It's the landing!

0:59:53 > 0:59:55RATTLING

0:59:59 > 1:00:01TYRES SCREECH

1:00:09 > 1:00:10We've landed, sir.

1:00:10 > 1:00:12We've landed.

1:00:12 > 1:00:14No, no, not now, not now!

1:00:18 > 1:00:19Not now, not now.

1:00:19 > 1:00:21I trust you had a pleasant flight, sir?

1:00:21 > 1:00:22- MYCROFT:- Well, a somewhat shorter exile

1:00:22 > 1:00:24than we'd imagined, brother mine,

1:00:24 > 1:00:26but probably adequate, given your levels of OCD.

1:00:26 > 1:00:27- I have to go back!- What?

1:00:27 > 1:00:29I was...I was nearly there, I nearly had it!

1:00:29 > 1:00:31What on earth are you talking about?

1:00:31 > 1:00:33Go back where? You didn't get very far.

1:00:33 > 1:00:35Ricoletti and his abominable wife! Don't you understand?!

1:00:35 > 1:00:38No, of course we don't, you're not making any sense, Sherlock.

1:00:38 > 1:00:41It was a case, a famous one from 100 years ago.

1:00:41 > 1:00:44Lodged in my hard drive, she seemed to be dead, but then she came back.

1:00:44 > 1:00:48- What, like Moriarty?- Shot herself in the head, exactly like Moriarty.

1:00:48 > 1:00:49But you've only just been told.

1:00:49 > 1:00:52We've only just found out, he's on every TV screen in the country.

1:00:52 > 1:00:54Yes? So? It's been five minutes since Mycroft called.

1:00:54 > 1:00:57What progress have you made? What have you been doing?

1:00:57 > 1:00:59More to the point, what have YOU been doing?

1:00:59 > 1:01:01- I've been in my Mind Palace, of course.- Of course.

1:01:01 > 1:01:03Running an experiment. How would I have solved the crime,

1:01:03 > 1:01:06- if I'd been there in 1895? - Oh, Sherlock.

1:01:06 > 1:01:09I had all the details perfect.

1:01:09 > 1:01:11I was there, all of it, everything. I was immersed.

1:01:11 > 1:01:12Of course you were.

1:01:12 > 1:01:15You've been reading John's blog. The story of how you met.

1:01:15 > 1:01:18It helps me if I see myself through his eyes sometimes.

1:01:18 > 1:01:19I'm so much cleverer.

1:01:20 > 1:01:22Do you really think anyone is believing you?

1:01:22 > 1:01:24No, he can do this, I've seen it.

1:01:24 > 1:01:26The Mind Palace, it's like a whole world in his head.

1:01:26 > 1:01:28Yes, and I need to get back there.

1:01:28 > 1:01:31The Mind Palace is a memory technique, I know what it can do

1:01:31 > 1:01:34and I know what it most certainly cannot.

1:01:34 > 1:01:38Maybe there are one or two things that I know that you don't.

1:01:39 > 1:01:41Oh, there are.

1:01:41 > 1:01:42Did you make a list?

1:01:46 > 1:01:49You've put on weight. That waistcoat is clearly newer than the jacket.

1:01:49 > 1:01:51- Stop this! Just stop it! Did you make a list?!- Of what?

1:01:51 > 1:01:53Everything, Sherlock. Everything you've taken.

1:01:53 > 1:01:56No, it's not that, he goes into a sort of trance. I've seen him do it.

1:01:56 > 1:01:58PAPER FLUTTERS

1:02:06 > 1:02:10We have an agreement, my brother and I, ever since that day.

1:02:10 > 1:02:12GASPING

1:02:12 > 1:02:14Wherever I find him,

1:02:14 > 1:02:17whatever back alley or doss-house...

1:02:18 > 1:02:21..there will always be a list.

1:02:21 > 1:02:24He couldn't have taken all that in the last five minutes.

1:02:24 > 1:02:26He was high before he got on the plane.

1:02:26 > 1:02:27He didn't seem high.

1:02:27 > 1:02:30Nobody deceives like an addict.

1:02:30 > 1:02:32I'm not an addict, I'm a user.

1:02:32 > 1:02:36I alleviate boredom and occasionally heighten my thought processes.

1:02:36 > 1:02:37For God's sake! This could kill you!

1:02:37 > 1:02:40- You could die!- Controlled usage is not usually fatal

1:02:40 > 1:02:43and abstinence is not immortality.

1:02:43 > 1:02:44What are you doing?

1:02:44 > 1:02:46Emelia Ricoletti, I'm looking her up.

1:02:46 > 1:02:48Oh, I suppose we should.

1:02:48 > 1:02:51I have access to the top level of the MI5 archive.

1:02:51 > 1:02:52Yep, that's where I'm looking.

1:02:54 > 1:02:56What do you think of MI5 security?

1:02:57 > 1:02:59I think it would be a good idea.

1:03:00 > 1:03:03Emelia Ricoletti, "unsolved", like he says.

1:03:03 > 1:03:05Could you all just shut up for five minutes!

1:03:05 > 1:03:06I have to go back.

1:03:06 > 1:03:09I was nearly there before you stepped on and started yapping away!

1:03:09 > 1:03:12"Yapping?" Sorry, did we interrupt your session?

1:03:12 > 1:03:13Sherlock, listen to me.

1:03:13 > 1:03:14No, it only encourages you.

1:03:14 > 1:03:16- I'm not angry with you. - Oh, that's a relief(!)

1:03:16 > 1:03:18I was really worried... No, hold on,

1:03:18 > 1:03:20I really wasn't.

1:03:21 > 1:03:23I was there for you before.

1:03:23 > 1:03:25I'll be there for you again.

1:03:27 > 1:03:29I'll always be there for you.

1:03:31 > 1:03:32This was my fault.

1:03:33 > 1:03:36It was nothing to do with you.

1:03:36 > 1:03:39- A week in a prison cell, I should have realised.- Realised what?

1:03:39 > 1:03:40That, in your case,

1:03:40 > 1:03:43solitary confinement is locking you up with your worst enemy.

1:03:43 > 1:03:44Oh, for God's sake!

1:03:44 > 1:03:46Morphine or cocaine?

1:03:48 > 1:03:50What did you say?

1:03:50 > 1:03:51I didn't say anything.

1:03:51 > 1:03:53No, you did, you said...

1:03:53 > 1:03:56IN WATSON'S VOICE: 'Which is it today? Morphine or cocaine.'

1:03:59 > 1:04:00'Holmes?'

1:04:00 > 1:04:02Morphine or cocaine - which is it today?

1:04:02 > 1:04:04- DOOR SLAMS - Answer me, damn it!

1:04:06 > 1:04:08SLUGGISHLY: Moriarty was here.

1:04:08 > 1:04:10Moriarty's dead.

1:04:12 > 1:04:14I was on a jet.

1:04:14 > 1:04:15A what?

1:04:15 > 1:04:17You were there, and Mycroft.

1:04:18 > 1:04:21You haven't left these rooms, Holmes.

1:04:21 > 1:04:24You...haven't...moved.

1:04:24 > 1:04:26Now, tell me, morphine or cocaine?

1:04:28 > 1:04:31Cocaine. A 7% solution.

1:04:32 > 1:04:34- Would you care to try it?- No.

1:04:34 > 1:04:36But I would quite like to find every ounce of the stuff

1:04:36 > 1:04:39in your possession and pour it out of the window.

1:04:39 > 1:04:40I should be inclined to stop you.

1:04:40 > 1:04:43Then you would be reminded, quite forcibly,

1:04:43 > 1:04:46which of us is a soldier and which of us a drug addict.

1:04:46 > 1:04:48You're not a soldier, you are a doctor.

1:04:48 > 1:04:49I'm an army doctor,

1:04:49 > 1:04:52which means I could break every bone in your body while naming them.

1:04:52 > 1:04:56My dear Watson, you are allowing emotion to cloud your judgment.

1:04:56 > 1:04:58Never on a case.

1:04:58 > 1:05:00You promised me, never on a case.

1:05:00 > 1:05:03- No, I just said that in one of your stories.- Listen,

1:05:03 > 1:05:06I'm happy to play the fool for you.

1:05:06 > 1:05:09I will run along behind you like some halfwit,

1:05:09 > 1:05:11making you look clever, if that's what you need.

1:05:11 > 1:05:16But dear God above, you will hold yourself to a higher standard!

1:05:16 > 1:05:18- Why?- Because people need you to.

1:05:18 > 1:05:20What people, why? Because of your idiot stories?

1:05:20 > 1:05:22Yes, because of my "idiot stories".

1:05:22 > 1:05:24- FOOTSTEPS APPROACH - Mr Holmes!

1:05:25 > 1:05:27Mr Holmes, telegram, Mr Holmes.

1:05:36 > 1:05:38What is it? What's wrong?

1:05:38 > 1:05:40- It's Mary.- Mary? What about her?

1:05:40 > 1:05:42- It's entirely possible she's in danger.- Danger?

1:05:42 > 1:05:44There's not a moment to lose.

1:05:44 > 1:05:46Is this the cocaine talking?

1:05:46 > 1:05:48What danger could Mary be in?

1:05:48 > 1:05:51- I'm sure she's just visiting with friends.- Come on!

1:05:56 > 1:05:58What is happening?

1:05:58 > 1:06:00Are you even in a fit state?

1:06:00 > 1:06:03For Mary, of course. Never doubt that, Watson.

1:06:03 > 1:06:05Never that.

1:06:05 > 1:06:07- HOLMES GROANS - Holmes?

1:06:07 > 1:06:08I'm fine. I'm fine!

1:06:10 > 1:06:11Not that one!

1:06:12 > 1:06:14This one.

1:06:14 > 1:06:17- Why?- You're Sherlock Holmes. Wear the damn hat.

1:06:24 > 1:06:26Cab! Cab!

1:06:29 > 1:06:31So tell me, where is she?

1:06:31 > 1:06:33You must tell me, what's going on?!

1:06:33 > 1:06:35Oh, good old Watson(!)

1:06:35 > 1:06:37How would we fill the time if you didn't ask questions?!

1:06:37 > 1:06:41Sherlock, tell me where my bloody wife is, you pompous prick,

1:06:41 > 1:06:42or I'll punch your lights out!

1:06:44 > 1:06:45Holmes, where is she?

1:06:47 > 1:06:48A de-sanctified church.

1:06:48 > 1:06:51She thinks she's found the solution and, for no better reason than that,

1:06:51 > 1:06:54she's put herself in the path of considerable danger.

1:06:54 > 1:06:56What an excellent choice of wife.

1:07:08 > 1:07:09What the devil?!

1:07:09 > 1:07:11I've found them.

1:07:11 > 1:07:14CHANTING

1:07:19 > 1:07:22- What is all this, Mary? - This is the heart of it all, John.

1:07:22 > 1:07:24The heart of the conspiracy.

1:07:24 > 1:07:26CHANTING CONTINUES

1:07:40 > 1:07:43FIGURES CHANT IN LATIN

1:07:43 > 1:07:46Great God, what is this place?

1:07:46 > 1:07:48And what the devil are you doing here?!

1:07:48 > 1:07:51I've been making enquiries.

1:07:51 > 1:07:52Mr Holmes asked me.

1:07:52 > 1:07:54Holmes, how could you?

1:07:54 > 1:07:55No, not him, the clever one.

1:07:56 > 1:08:00It seemed obvious to me that this business could not be managed alone.

1:08:00 > 1:08:02My theory is that Mrs Ricoletti had help.

1:08:02 > 1:08:04Help from her friends.

1:08:04 > 1:08:06- Bravo, Mary. "The clever one?"- I...

1:08:07 > 1:08:09I thought I was losing you.

1:08:10 > 1:08:12I thought perhaps we were...

1:08:12 > 1:08:15- neglecting each other. - Well, you're the one who moved out.

1:08:15 > 1:08:16I was talking to Mary.

1:08:18 > 1:08:19You're working for Mycroft?

1:08:19 > 1:08:21He likes to keep an eye on his mad sibling.

1:08:21 > 1:08:24And he had a spy to hand. Has it never occurred to you

1:08:24 > 1:08:27- your wife is excessively skilled for a nurse?- Of course it hasn't,

1:08:27 > 1:08:29because he knows what a nurse is capable of.

1:08:29 > 1:08:31- When did it occur to you? - Only now, I'm afraid.

1:08:31 > 1:08:33Must be difficult,

1:08:33 > 1:08:35being the slow little brother.

1:08:35 > 1:08:38Time I sped up. Enough chatter, let's concentrate.

1:08:38 > 1:08:40Yes, all right. What's all this about?

1:08:41 > 1:08:43- What do they want to accomplish? - Why don't we go and find out.

1:08:46 > 1:08:48CHANTING CONTINUES

1:09:01 > 1:09:02GONG CRASHES

1:09:02 > 1:09:04Sorry! I can never resist a gong.

1:09:04 > 1:09:07- Or a touch of the dramatic. - Never have guessed(!)

1:09:07 > 1:09:10Though it seems you share my enthusiasm in that regard.

1:09:12 > 1:09:13Excellent.

1:09:13 > 1:09:15Superlative theatre.

1:09:16 > 1:09:18I applaud the spectacle.

1:09:21 > 1:09:23Emelia Ricoletti shot herself,

1:09:23 > 1:09:26then apparently returned from the grave and killed her husband.

1:09:26 > 1:09:28So...

1:09:28 > 1:09:29how was it done?

1:09:30 > 1:09:32Let's take the events in order.

1:09:35 > 1:09:38Mrs Ricoletti gets everyone's attention in very efficient fashion.

1:09:38 > 1:09:40You!

1:09:40 > 1:09:42GUNFIRE CONTINUES

1:09:42 > 1:09:43You?!

1:09:43 > 1:09:45Or me?

1:09:45 > 1:09:47She places one of the revolvers in her mouth,

1:09:47 > 1:09:49while actually firing the other into the ground.

1:09:49 > 1:09:51An accomplice sprays the curtains with blood

1:09:51 > 1:09:53and thus her apparent suicide

1:09:53 > 1:09:55is witnessed by the frightened crowd below.

1:09:57 > 1:10:00A substitute corpse, bearing a strong resemblance to Mrs Ricoletti

1:10:00 > 1:10:02takes her place and is later transported to the morgue,

1:10:02 > 1:10:06a grubby little suicide of little interest to Scotland Yard.

1:10:06 > 1:10:09Meanwhile, the real Mrs Ricoletti slips away.

1:10:14 > 1:10:16Now comes the really clever part.

1:10:16 > 1:10:19Mrs Ricoletti persuaded a cab driver, someone who knew her,

1:10:19 > 1:10:22to intercept her husband outside his favourite opium den.

1:10:22 > 1:10:25The perfect stage for a perfect drama.

1:10:26 > 1:10:27Who are you? What do you want?

1:10:29 > 1:10:31Emelia?

1:10:31 > 1:10:32- MAN:- Help!

1:10:32 > 1:10:34A perfect positive identification.

1:10:34 > 1:10:37The late Mrs Ricoletti has returned from the grave

1:10:37 > 1:10:38and a little skilled make-up

1:10:38 > 1:10:41and you have nothing less than the wrath of a vengeful ghost.

1:10:54 > 1:10:57There was only one thing left to do.

1:10:57 > 1:10:59Swiftly now. No tears.

1:11:02 > 1:11:03GUNSHOT

1:11:03 > 1:11:06All that remained was to substitute the real Mrs Ricoletti

1:11:06 > 1:11:08for the corpse in the morgue.

1:11:08 > 1:11:10This time, should anyone attempt to identify her,

1:11:10 > 1:11:13it would be positively, absolutely her.

1:11:13 > 1:11:15- MARY:- But why would she do that?

1:11:15 > 1:11:16Die to prove a point?

1:11:16 > 1:11:19Every great cause has martyrs.

1:11:19 > 1:11:23Every war has suicide missions and make no mistake, this is war.

1:11:23 > 1:11:26One half of the human race at war with the other.

1:11:27 > 1:11:31The invisible army hovering at our elbow,

1:11:31 > 1:11:33tending to our homes,

1:11:33 > 1:11:34raising our children.

1:11:36 > 1:11:38Ignored, patronised,

1:11:38 > 1:11:40disregarded.

1:11:41 > 1:11:43Not allowed so much as a vote.

1:11:52 > 1:11:54But an army nonetheless,

1:11:54 > 1:11:57ready to rise up in the best of causes.

1:11:57 > 1:12:01To put right an injustice as old as humanity itself.

1:12:04 > 1:12:06So you see, Watson, Mycroft was right.

1:12:06 > 1:12:08This is a war we must lose.

1:12:08 > 1:12:09She was dying.

1:12:11 > 1:12:13- Who was?- Emelia Ricoletti.

1:12:13 > 1:12:15There were clear signs of consumption -

1:12:15 > 1:12:17I doubt she was long for this world.

1:12:17 > 1:12:20So she decided to make her death count.

1:12:22 > 1:12:25She was already familiar with the secret societies of America.

1:12:25 > 1:12:27And was able to draw on their methods of fear

1:12:27 > 1:12:29and intimidation to publicly, very publicly,

1:12:29 > 1:12:32confront Sir Eustace Carmichael with the sins of his past.

1:12:32 > 1:12:34He knew her out in the States.

1:12:36 > 1:12:38Promised her everything.

1:12:38 > 1:12:40Marriage, position.

1:12:42 > 1:12:45And then he had his way with her...

1:12:46 > 1:12:48..and threw her over.

1:12:48 > 1:12:50Left her abandoned and penniless.

1:12:50 > 1:12:52Hooper!

1:12:57 > 1:12:59Holmes.

1:12:59 > 1:13:03For the record, Holmes, she didn't have me fooled.

1:13:07 > 1:13:09Why do you never mention me, sir?

1:13:12 > 1:13:16Emelia thought that she'd found happiness with Ricoletti,

1:13:16 > 1:13:19but he was a brute too.

1:13:19 > 1:13:20RAPID SPEECH

1:13:25 > 1:13:27Emelia Ricoletti was our friend.

1:13:27 > 1:13:30You have no idea how that bastard treated her.

1:13:32 > 1:13:35But the Bride, Holmes, we saw her.

1:13:35 > 1:13:36Yes, Watson, we did.

1:13:37 > 1:13:39The sound of breaking glass?

1:13:39 > 1:13:41Not a window,

1:13:41 > 1:13:43just an old theatrical trick.

1:13:43 > 1:13:47- It cannot be true, Holmes, it cannot!- No, it can't.

1:13:47 > 1:13:49'It's called Pepper's Ghost.

1:13:50 > 1:13:54'A simple reflection in glass of a living, breathing person.

1:13:56 > 1:13:59'Their only mistake was breaking the glass when they removed it.'

1:14:02 > 1:14:03Look around you.

1:14:04 > 1:14:06This room is full of brides.

1:14:12 > 1:14:14Once she had risen,

1:14:14 > 1:14:15anyone could be her.

1:14:17 > 1:14:20The avenging ghost.

1:14:20 > 1:14:22A legend to strike terror into the heart of any man

1:14:22 > 1:14:24with malicious intent.

1:14:24 > 1:14:27A spectre to stalk those unpunished brutes

1:14:27 > 1:14:29whose reckoning is long overdue.

1:14:30 > 1:14:33A league of furies awakened.

1:14:33 > 1:14:35The women I...

1:14:35 > 1:14:37WE have lied to, betrayed.

1:14:39 > 1:14:42The women we have ignored and disparaged.

1:14:50 > 1:14:52Once the idea exists,

1:14:52 > 1:14:54it cannot be killed.

1:14:55 > 1:14:58This is the work of a single-minded person.

1:14:58 > 1:15:02Someone who knew first-hand about Sir Eustace's mental cruelty.

1:15:02 > 1:15:05The dark secret,

1:15:05 > 1:15:07kept from all but her closest friends,

1:15:07 > 1:15:09including Emelia Ricoletti...

1:15:10 > 1:15:13..the woman her husband wronged all those years before.

1:15:14 > 1:15:17If one disregards the ghost,

1:15:17 > 1:15:19there is only one suspect.

1:15:20 > 1:15:22Isn't that right, Lady Carmichael?

1:15:25 > 1:15:28One small detail doesn't quite make sense to me, however.

1:15:30 > 1:15:35Why engage me to prevent a murder you intended to commit?

1:15:35 > 1:15:37Hmm?

1:15:38 > 1:15:41- MORIARTY:- "Doesn't quite make sense, doesn't quite make sense."

1:15:41 > 1:15:43Of course it doesn't make sense, it's not real.

1:15:43 > 1:15:44HE SCOFFS

1:15:44 > 1:15:46Oh, Sherlock.

1:15:48 > 1:15:50- SHERLOCK EXHALES SHARPLY - Peek-a-boo.

1:15:50 > 1:15:52No.

1:15:53 > 1:15:54No, not you.

1:15:56 > 1:15:57It can't be you.

1:15:57 > 1:15:59I mean, come on, be serious.

1:15:59 > 1:16:02The costumes, the gong?

1:16:02 > 1:16:04Speaking as a criminal mastermind,

1:16:04 > 1:16:07we don't really have gongs or special outfits.

1:16:08 > 1:16:10What the hell is going on?

1:16:12 > 1:16:13Is this silly enough for you yet?

1:16:15 > 1:16:18Gothic enough? Mad enough, even for you?

1:16:18 > 1:16:20It doesn't make sense, Sherlock,

1:16:20 > 1:16:22because it's not real.

1:16:22 > 1:16:25- None of it. - What's he talking about?

1:16:25 > 1:16:27This is all in your mind.

1:16:29 > 1:16:30Sherlock?

1:16:30 > 1:16:32Holmes!

1:16:32 > 1:16:34You're dreaming.

1:16:34 > 1:16:35- Argh! MARY:- Is he dreaming?

1:16:38 > 1:16:39- MYCROFT:- And there he is.

1:16:39 > 1:16:41Thought we'd lost you for a moment.

1:16:41 > 1:16:44May I just check, is this what you mean by "controlled usage"?

1:16:44 > 1:16:47Mrs Emelia Ricoletti, I need to know where she was buried.

1:16:47 > 1:16:51- What, 120 years ago?- Yes.

1:16:51 > 1:16:54That would take weeks to find, if those records even exists.

1:16:54 > 1:16:56- Even with my resources.- Got it.

1:16:58 > 1:17:00I don't get it, how is this relevant?

1:17:00 > 1:17:02I need to know I was right, then I'll be sure.

1:17:02 > 1:17:03- You mean how Moriarty did it?- Yes.

1:17:03 > 1:17:06But none of that really happened, it was in your head.

1:17:06 > 1:17:07My investigation was the fantasy,

1:17:07 > 1:17:09the crime happened exactly as I explained.

1:17:09 > 1:17:11The stone was erected by a group of her friends.

1:17:11 > 1:17:14- I don't know what you think you'll find here.- I need to try!

1:17:22 > 1:17:25Mrs Ricoletti was buried here, but what happened to the other one?

1:17:25 > 1:17:28The corpse they substituted for her after the so-called suicide?

1:17:28 > 1:17:30- They'd move it, of course they would.- But where?

1:17:30 > 1:17:31Well, not here.

1:17:31 > 1:17:34But that... That's exactly what they must have done.

1:17:34 > 1:17:36The conspirators had someone on the inside.

1:17:36 > 1:17:39They found a body, just like Molly Hooper found a body for me, when...

1:17:39 > 1:17:41Yeah, well, we don't need to go into all that again, do we?

1:17:41 > 1:17:43You're not seriously going to do this?

1:17:43 > 1:17:45It's why we came here. I need to know.

1:17:45 > 1:17:46Spoken like an addict.

1:17:46 > 1:17:48This is important to me!

1:17:48 > 1:17:49No, this is you needing a fix.

1:17:49 > 1:17:51- John...- Moriarty's back.

1:17:51 > 1:17:53We have a case, we have a real-life problem right now.

1:17:53 > 1:17:55Getting to that, it's next on the list. Just let me do this.

1:17:55 > 1:17:58No, everyone always lets you do whatever you want.

1:17:58 > 1:18:00- That's how you got in this state! - John, please...

1:18:00 > 1:18:03I'm not playing this time, Sherlock. Not any more!

1:18:03 > 1:18:05When you're ready to go to work, give me a call.

1:18:05 > 1:18:07- I'm taking Mary home.- You're what?

1:18:07 > 1:18:08- Mary's taking me home.- Better.

1:18:11 > 1:18:13- He's right, you know. - So what if he's right?!

1:18:13 > 1:18:14He's always right, it's boring!

1:18:17 > 1:18:18Will you help me?

1:18:22 > 1:18:24Cherchez la femme.

1:18:33 > 1:18:36THEY GRUNT AND STRAIN

1:18:36 > 1:18:38LOUD BUMP

1:18:43 > 1:18:44LESTRADE GRUNTS

1:19:01 > 1:19:02Eurgh!

1:19:08 > 1:19:10Oh, dear.

1:19:10 > 1:19:11The cupboard is bare.

1:19:13 > 1:19:15They must have buried it underneath.

1:19:15 > 1:19:18They must have buried it underneath the coffin.

1:19:32 > 1:19:33Bad luck, Sherlock.

1:19:35 > 1:19:38Maybe they got rid of the body in another way.

1:19:38 > 1:19:39- No...- More than likely.

1:19:39 > 1:19:41At any rate, it was a very long time ago.

1:19:41 > 1:19:44We do have slightly more pressing matters to hand, little brother.

1:19:44 > 1:19:47Moriarty? Back from the dead?

1:19:47 > 1:19:51- FAINT, RASPING FEMALE VOICE: - 'Do not forget me.

1:19:51 > 1:19:55'Do not forget me!'

1:19:55 > 1:19:57CREAKING

1:20:03 > 1:20:05SCREECHING

1:20:05 > 1:20:07SHERLOCK GASPS

1:20:09 > 1:20:10CRASHING WATER This?

1:20:10 > 1:20:12Oh, I see.

1:20:13 > 1:20:15Still not awake, am I?

1:20:41 > 1:20:43Too deep, Sherlock, way too deep.

1:20:45 > 1:20:48Congratulations, you will be the first man in history

1:20:48 > 1:20:50to be buried in his own Mind Palace.

1:20:52 > 1:20:54The setting is a shade melodramatic, don't you think?

1:20:54 > 1:20:56For you and me?

1:20:57 > 1:20:58Not at all.

1:21:01 > 1:21:03What are you?

1:21:03 > 1:21:05You know what I am.

1:21:05 > 1:21:07I'm Moriarty.

1:21:07 > 1:21:09The Napoleon of Crime.

1:21:09 > 1:21:11- Moriarty's dead!- Not in your mind.

1:21:11 > 1:21:13I'll never be dead there.

1:21:13 > 1:21:16You once called your brain a hard drive.

1:21:16 > 1:21:18Well, say hello to the virus.

1:21:19 > 1:21:21This is how we end, you and I.

1:21:22 > 1:21:24Always here,

1:21:24 > 1:21:25always together.

1:21:28 > 1:21:31You have a magnificent brain, Moriarty.

1:21:31 > 1:21:33I admire it.

1:21:33 > 1:21:36I concede it may even be the equal of my own.

1:21:36 > 1:21:38I'm touched.

1:21:40 > 1:21:41I'm honoured.

1:21:41 > 1:21:44But when it comes to the matter of unarmed combat

1:21:44 > 1:21:46on the edge of a precipice...

1:21:47 > 1:21:50..you're going in the water,

1:21:50 > 1:21:52short-arse.

1:21:52 > 1:21:54MORIARTY HISSES, SHERLOCK CHOKES

1:21:58 > 1:22:00THEY GRUNT

1:22:04 > 1:22:06Oh, you think you're so big and strong, Sherlock!

1:22:06 > 1:22:08Not with me.

1:22:08 > 1:22:09SHERLOCK GRUNTS

1:22:16 > 1:22:18THEY GRUNT AND GASP

1:22:21 > 1:22:23I am your weakness!

1:22:25 > 1:22:27I keep you down!

1:22:28 > 1:22:32Every time you stumble, every time you fail,

1:22:32 > 1:22:33when you're weak,

1:22:33 > 1:22:35I...am...

1:22:35 > 1:22:37there!

1:22:39 > 1:22:41No,

1:22:41 > 1:22:42don't try to fight it.

1:22:42 > 1:22:44Lie back and lose!

1:22:50 > 1:22:52Shall we go over together?

1:22:52 > 1:22:54It has to be together, doesn't it?

1:22:54 > 1:22:57At the end it's always just you

1:22:57 > 1:22:59and me!

1:22:59 > 1:23:02WATSON CLEARS HIS THROAT

1:23:02 > 1:23:03PISTOL COCKS

1:23:04 > 1:23:07Professor, if you wouldn't mind stepping away from my friend,

1:23:07 > 1:23:11I do believe he finds your attention a shade annoying.

1:23:13 > 1:23:16That's not fair, there's two of you!

1:23:16 > 1:23:18There's always two of us. Don't you read The Strand?

1:23:20 > 1:23:22On your knees, Professor.

1:23:26 > 1:23:29Hands behind your head.

1:23:30 > 1:23:31Thank you, John.

1:23:33 > 1:23:35Since when do you call me John?

1:23:36 > 1:23:37You'd be surprised.

1:23:37 > 1:23:39No, I wouldn't.

1:23:41 > 1:23:43Time you woke up, Sherlock.

1:23:44 > 1:23:47I'm a story-teller, I know when I'm in one.

1:23:47 > 1:23:49Of course.

1:23:49 > 1:23:50Of course you do, John.

1:23:51 > 1:23:53So what's he like?

1:23:53 > 1:23:55The other me in the other place?

1:23:57 > 1:23:58Smarter than he looks.

1:23:58 > 1:24:00Pretty damn smart, then.

1:24:01 > 1:24:03Pretty damn smart.

1:24:03 > 1:24:06Ugh, why don't you two just elope, for God's sake?!

1:24:06 > 1:24:08Impertinent.

1:24:08 > 1:24:10Offensive.

1:24:10 > 1:24:12Actually, would you mind?

1:24:12 > 1:24:14Not at all.

1:24:18 > 1:24:20MORIARTY SCREAMS

1:24:23 > 1:24:26- It was my turn.- Quite so.

1:24:26 > 1:24:27So how do you plan to wake up?

1:24:29 > 1:24:31Oh...

1:24:31 > 1:24:33I should think like this.

1:24:34 > 1:24:36Are you sure?

1:24:36 > 1:24:39Between you and me, John, I always survive a fall.

1:24:39 > 1:24:41But how?

1:24:42 > 1:24:44Elementary, my dear Watson.

1:25:10 > 1:25:12HE GASPS

1:25:16 > 1:25:18- Miss me? - Sherlock, are you all right?

1:25:18 > 1:25:19Yes. Of course I am, why wouldn't I be?

1:25:19 > 1:25:22Because you probably just OD'd. You should be in hospital.

1:25:22 > 1:25:24Hm, no time.

1:25:24 > 1:25:27I have to go to Baker Street now, Moriarty's back.

1:25:27 > 1:25:29I almost hope he is,

1:25:29 > 1:25:31if it'll save you from this.

1:25:33 > 1:25:35No need for that now,

1:25:35 > 1:25:36I've got the real thing.

1:25:36 > 1:25:38- I have work to do.- Sherlock...

1:25:40 > 1:25:41..promise me.

1:25:43 > 1:25:44What are you still doing here?

1:25:44 > 1:25:46Shouldn't you be off getting me a pardon or something,

1:25:46 > 1:25:48like a proper big brother?

1:25:53 > 1:25:54Dr Watson...

1:25:58 > 1:26:00Look after him.

1:26:01 > 1:26:03Please.

1:26:23 > 1:26:26Sherlock, hang on, explain. Moriarty's alive, then?

1:26:26 > 1:26:28I never said he was alive, I said he was back.

1:26:28 > 1:26:30So he's dead?

1:26:30 > 1:26:33Of course he's dead, he blew his own brains out, no-one survives that.

1:26:33 > 1:26:37I just went to the trouble of an overdose to prove it.

1:26:37 > 1:26:39Moriarty is dead, no question.

1:26:40 > 1:26:44But more importantly, I know exactly what he's going to do next.

1:26:51 > 1:26:53THEME TUNE BEGINS

1:26:53 > 1:26:55THEME TUNE JUDDERS TO HALT

1:26:55 > 1:26:56Flying machines,

1:26:56 > 1:26:58these, er, telephone contraptions?

1:26:58 > 1:27:00What sort of lunatic fantasy is that?

1:27:00 > 1:27:03It was simply my conjecture of what a future world might look like

1:27:03 > 1:27:05and how you and I might fit inside it.

1:27:05 > 1:27:07From a drop of water a logician should be able to infer

1:27:07 > 1:27:10the possibility of an Atlantic or a Niagara.

1:27:10 > 1:27:12Or a Reichenbach?

1:27:12 > 1:27:14- Have you written up your account of the case?- Yes.

1:27:14 > 1:27:15Hmm.

1:27:15 > 1:27:20- Modified to put it down as one of my rare failures, of course?- Of course.

1:27:22 > 1:27:24The Adventure Of...

1:27:24 > 1:27:26The Invisible Army.

1:27:28 > 1:27:29The League Of Furies?

1:27:30 > 1:27:32The Monstrous Regiment?

1:27:32 > 1:27:35I rather thought The Abominable Bride.

1:27:36 > 1:27:39- A trifle lurid.- It'll sell. It's got proper murders in it too.

1:27:39 > 1:27:40You're the expert.

1:27:40 > 1:27:43As for your own tale,

1:27:43 > 1:27:47are you sure it's still just a 7% solution that you take?

1:27:47 > 1:27:49I think you may have increased the dosage.

1:27:49 > 1:27:51Perhaps I was being a little fanciful.

1:27:52 > 1:27:55But perhaps such things could come to pass.

1:27:56 > 1:27:59In any case, I know I would be very much at home in such a world.

1:27:59 > 1:28:01- Huh, I don't think I would be. - I beg to differ.

1:28:03 > 1:28:06But then I've always known I was a man out of his time.
