0:18:47 > 0:18:49- About sixish? - Yeah.
0:18:49 > 0:18:50- Bye. - Bye.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52It was nice to meet you.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55You too.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02DOOR OPENS
0:19:02 > 0:19:06What do you mean, gay? We're together.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10Domestic bliss must suit you, Molly. You've put on 3lb since I last saw you.
0:19:10 > 0:19:11- Two-and-a-half.- No, three.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13- Sherlock. - He's not gay!
0:19:13 > 0:19:17- Why do you have to spoil...? He's not!- With that level of grooming?
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Because he puts product in his hair? I put product in my hair.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22You wash your hair, there's a difference.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Tinted eyelashes, signs of taurine cream around the frown lines,
0:19:25 > 0:19:27those tired, clubber's eyes.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29- Then there's his underwear. - His underwear?
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Visible above the waistline. Very particular brand.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36Plus the suggestive fact that he left his number under this dish.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39I'd say you'd better break it off now and save yourself the pain.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45DOOR OPENS Charming, well done(!)
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Just saving her time. Isn't that kinder?
0:19:47 > 0:19:51Kinder? No, no, Sherlock, that wasn't kind.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Go on, then.
0:19:56 > 0:19:57Hm?
0:19:57 > 0:19:59You know what I do. Off you go.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01- Oh... No. - Go on.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04- I'm not going to let you humiliate me while I...- An outside eye,
0:20:04 > 0:20:08- a second opinion - it's very useful to me.- Yeah, right(!)- Really!
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Fine. CLEARS THROAT
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- Oh, they're just a pair of sh... trainers.- Good.
0:20:23 > 0:20:24Um...
0:20:25 > 0:20:29They're in good nick. I'd say they were pretty new,
0:20:29 > 0:20:34except the sole has been well worn, so the owner must have had them for a while.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Er, very '80s. Probably one of those retro designs.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40You're on sparkling form. What else?
0:20:40 > 0:20:43They're quite big. A man's.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45But...
0:20:46 > 0:20:50But there's traces of a name inside in felt-tip.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55Adults don't write their names inside their shoes, so these belong to a kid.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Excellent. What else?
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Er...
0:20:59 > 0:21:02- That's it. - That's it.
0:21:02 > 0:21:03- How did I do? - Well, John.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Really well.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09I mean, you missed almost everything of importance, but, you know...
0:21:11 > 0:21:13The owner loved these. Scrubbed them clean.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Whitened them. Changed the laces three...no, four times.
0:21:16 > 0:21:22There are traces of flaky skin where his fingers have come into contact with them, so he had eczema.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25The shoes are more worn on the inner side, so he had weak arches.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27British-made, 20 years old.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- 20 years?- They're not retro, they're original.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Limited edition - two blue stripes, 1989.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35There's still mud on them. They look new.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Someone's kept them that way.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Quite a bit of mud caked on the soles.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Analysis shows it's from Sussex with London mud overlaying it.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47- How do you know?- Pollen. Clear as a map reference. South of the river.
0:21:47 > 0:21:52- This kid came to London from Sussex 20 years ago and left the trainers behind.- What happened to him?
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Something bad.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57He loved those shoes, remember. He'd never leave them filthy.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Wouldn't let them go unless he had to.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02So, a child with big feet gets...

0:22:08 > 0:22:10Carl Powers.
0:22:10 > 0:22:15- Sorry, who? - Carl Powers, John.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17What is it?
0:22:18 > 0:22:19It's where I began.
0:22:23 > 0:22:291989, kid, champion swimmer, came from Brighton for a school sports tournament, drowned in the pool.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32- Tragic accident. You wouldn't remember it.- But you remember.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34- Yes.- Something fishy about it?
0:22:34 > 0:22:35Nobody thought so.
0:22:35 > 0:22:40Nobody except me. I was only a kid myself. I read about it in the papers.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43- You started young, didn't you? - The boy, Carl Powers,
0:22:43 > 0:22:45had some kind of fit in the water,
0:22:45 > 0:22:47but by the time they got him out, it was too late.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50There was something wrong somewhere. I couldn't get it out of my head.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54- What?- His shoes.- What about them? - They weren't there. I made a fuss.
0:22:54 > 0:22:59I tried to get the police interested, but nobody seemed to think it was important.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03He'd left all the rest of his clothes in his locker, but there was no sign of his shoes.

0:24:26 > 0:24:29Your brother sent me to collect more facts
0:24:29 > 0:24:33about the stolen plans - the missile plans.
0:24:33 > 0:24:38- Did he? - Yes. He's investigating now.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42He's, er...investigating away.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45I just wondered what else you could tell me about the dead man.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50Er, 27. Clerk at Vauxhall Cross.
0:24:50 > 0:24:51MI6.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55He was involved in the Bruce-Partington Program in a minor capacity.
0:24:55 > 0:25:00Security checks A-OK. No known terrorist affiliations or sympathies.
0:25:00 > 0:25:05Last seen by his fiancee 10.30 yesterday evening.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Lucy, love, I've got to go out.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09I've got to see someone.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Westie!
0:25:12 > 0:25:16He was found at Battersea, yes. So he got on the train?
0:25:16 > 0:25:19- No. - What?
0:25:19 > 0:25:21He had an Oyster card...
0:25:23 > 0:25:26- ..but it hadn't been used. - He must have bought a ticket.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Hm. There was no ticket on the body.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33- Then...- How did he end up with a bashed-in brain on the tracks at Battersea?
0:25:33 > 0:25:35That is the question -
0:25:35 > 0:25:38the one I was rather hoping Sherlock would provide an answer to.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40How's he getting on?
0:25:40 > 0:25:42He's fine.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46And it is going...very well.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48He's, um... He's completely focused on it.

0:26:01 > 0:26:03- Poison! - What are you going on about?
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Clostridium botulinum.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08It's one of the deadliest poisons on the planet.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Carl Powers.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Are you saying he was murdered?
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- Remember the shoelaces? - Mmm.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20He suffered from eczema. It would be easy to introduce the poison into his medication.
0:26:20 > 0:26:25Two hours later he comes to London, the poison paralyses the muscles and he drowns.
0:26:25 > 0:26:30- How come the autopsy didn't pick that up?- It's virtually undetectable. Nobody was looking for it.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34There are still tiny traces of it in the trainers
0:26:34 > 0:26:37from where he put the cream on his feet.
0:26:38 > 0:26:44- That's why they had to go. - So how do we let the bomber know? - Get his attention, stop the clock.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47- The killer kept the shoes all these years.- Yes.

0:29:48 > 0:29:53The car was hired yesterday morning by an Ian Monkford. Banker of some kind.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55City boy. Paid in cash.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58Told his wife he was going away on a business trip, never arrived.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01- You're still hanging round him. - Yeah, well...
0:30:01 > 0:30:03- Opposites attract, I s'pose. - We're not...
0:30:03 > 0:30:07- You should get yourself a hobby. Stamps, maybe. Model trains. Safer. - Before you ask,
0:30:07 > 0:30:10yes, it's Monkford's blood. DNA checks out.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14- No body. - Not yet.

0:30:22 > 0:30:23Mrs Monkford...
0:30:23 > 0:30:27Yes. Sorry, but I've already spoken with two policemen.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29We're not from the police, we're...

0:30:37 > 0:30:41I'm sorry. Who? I don't think he ever mentioned you.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43Oh, he must have done. This is...
0:30:43 > 0:30:46This is horrible. I mean, I just can't believe it.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48I only saw him the other day.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51Same old Ian. Not a care in the world.
0:30:51 > 0:30:57Sorry... My husband has been depressed for months. Who are you?
0:30:58 > 0:31:03Really strange that he hired a car. Why would he do that? It's a bit suspicious, isn't it?
0:31:03 > 0:31:06No, it isn't. He forgot to renew the tax on the car, that's all.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09Ah, well! That was Ian.

0:31:23 > 0:31:25- What?- I referred to her husband in the past tense.
0:31:25 > 0:31:30- She joined in. Bit premature. They've only just found the car. - You think she murdered her husband?
0:31:30 > 0:31:33- That's not a mistake a murderer would make.- I see...
0:31:33 > 0:31:36- No, I don't. What am I seeing? SALLY:- Fishing.

0:32:12 > 0:32:17It's like working in a sweet shop. Once you start eating the Liquorice Allsorts, where does it stop?
0:32:17 > 0:32:20- You didn't know Mr Monkford. - No, he was just a client.

0:32:35 > 0:32:40- Have you got any change for the cigarette machine?- What?- I noticed one on the way in and I'm gasping.
0:32:40 > 0:32:41Um... Oh!

0:33:56 > 0:33:58We were made for each other, Sherlock.

0:34:24 > 0:34:27How much blood was on that seat, would you say?
0:34:27 > 0:34:29How much? About a pint.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31Not about. Exactly a pint. That was their first mistake.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35The blood's Ian Monkford's, but it's been frozen.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37- Frozen? - There are clear signs.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40I think Ian Monkford gave a pint of his blood some time ago
0:34:40 > 0:34:45- and that's what they spread on the seat.- Who did?- Janus Cars. The clue's in the name.

0:35:11 > 0:35:14had a 20,000 Colombian peso note in his wallet.

0:52:35 > 0:52:38He's dead about 24 hours.
0:52:38 > 0:52:42Maybe a bit longer. Did he drown?
0:52:42 > 0:52:45Apparently not. Not enough of the Thames in his lungs. Asphyxiated.
0:52:45 > 0:52:47Yes, I'd agree.
0:52:47 > 0:52:51There's quite a bit of bruising around the nose and mouth.
0:52:52 > 0:52:55More bruises...
0:52:55 > 0:52:57here and here.
0:53:01 > 0:53:02Fingertips.
0:53:04 > 0:53:07He's late 30s, I'd say, not in the best condition.
0:53:07 > 0:53:12He's been in the river a long while, the water's destroyed most of the data.
0:53:12 > 0:53:16But I'll tell you one thing, that lost Vermeer painting's a fake.
0:53:16 > 0:53:18- What? - We need to identify the corpse,
0:53:18 > 0:53:20find out about his friends and...
0:53:20 > 0:53:22Wait, wait, wait, wait. What painting? What are you on about?
0:53:22 > 0:53:25It's all over the place, haven't you seen the posters?
0:53:25 > 0:53:27Dutch old master, supposed to have been destroyed centuries ago.
0:53:27 > 0:53:30Now it's turned up, worth £30 million.
0:53:30 > 0:53:33OK, so what has that got to do with the stiff?
0:53:33 > 0:53:34Everything.
0:53:34 > 0:53:37- Have you ever heard of the Golem? - Golem?
0:53:37 > 0:53:39It's a horror story, isn't it? What are you saying?
0:53:39 > 0:53:43Jewish folk story, a gigantic man made of clay - it's also the name of an assassin.
0:53:43 > 0:53:47Real name - Oskar Dzundza. One of the deadliest assassins in the world.
0:53:47 > 0:53:48That is his trademark style.
0:53:48 > 0:53:50- So this is a hit?- Definitely.
0:53:50 > 0:53:54The Golem squeezes the life out of his victims with his bare hands.
0:53:54 > 0:53:56But what has this got to do with that painting? I don't see...
0:53:56 > 0:53:58You do see, you just don't observe!
0:53:58 > 0:54:00Yes, all right, all right, girls! Calm down.
0:54:00 > 0:54:04Sherlock, do you want to take us through it?
0:54:07 > 0:54:10What do we know about this corpse?
0:54:10 > 0:54:13The killer's not left us with much, just the shirt and the trousers.
0:54:13 > 0:54:16They're pretty formal, maybe he was going out for the night.
0:54:16 > 0:54:20The trousers are heavy duty. Polyester, nasty, same as the shirt, cheap.
0:54:20 > 0:54:22They're both too big for him. So some kind of standard-issue uniform.
0:54:22 > 0:54:24Dressed for work, then. What kind of work?
0:54:24 > 0:54:27There's a hook on his belt... for a walkie-talkie.
0:54:27 > 0:54:29Tube driver?
0:54:29 > 0:54:30- Security guard?- More likely.
0:54:30 > 0:54:32- That'll be borne out by his backside.- Backside?!
0:54:32 > 0:54:35Flabby, you'd think he'd led a sedentary life.
0:54:35 > 0:54:39Yet the soles of his feet and the nascent varicose veins in his legs show otherwise.
0:54:39 > 0:54:43So, a lot of walking and a lot of sitting around.
0:54:43 > 0:54:45Security guard's looking good. The watch helps too.
0:54:45 > 0:54:47The alarm shows he did regular night shifts.
0:54:47 > 0:54:50Maybe he just set his alarm like that the night before he died.
0:54:50 > 0:54:53No, no, no. The buttons are stiff, hardly touched.
0:54:53 > 0:54:56He set his alarm like that a long time ago, his routine never varied.
0:54:56 > 0:54:58But there's something else. The killer must have been interrupted,
0:54:58 > 0:54:59otherwise he would have stripped the corpse completely.
0:54:59 > 0:55:01There was some kind of badge or insignia on the shirt front
0:55:01 > 0:55:05that he tore off, suggesting the dead man works somewhere recognisable,
0:55:05 > 0:55:06some kind of institution.
0:55:06 > 0:55:10I found this inside his trouser pockets.
0:55:10 > 0:55:14Sodden by the river, but still recognisably...
0:55:14 > 0:55:17- Tickets?- Ticket stubs. He worked in a museum or gallery. Did a quick check.
0:55:17 > 0:55:21The Hickman Gallery has reported one of its attendants as missing - Alex Woodbridge.
0:55:21 > 0:55:24Tonight, they unveil the rediscovered masterpiece.
0:55:24 > 0:55:27Now, why would anyone want to pay the Golem
0:55:27 > 0:55:30to suffocate a perfectly ordinary gallery attendant?
0:55:30 > 0:55:32Inference, the dead man knew something about it,
0:55:32 > 0:55:35something that would stop the owner getting paid £30 million.
0:55:35 > 0:55:38- The pictures are fake.- Fantastic.
0:55:38 > 0:55:41- Meretricious.- And a Happy New Year.
0:55:42 > 0:55:43Poor sod.
0:55:45 > 0:55:47I'd better get my feelers out for this Golem character.
0:55:47 > 0:55:50Pointless, you'll never find him, but I know a man who can.
0:55:50 > 0:55:52- Who?- Me.
0:55:58 > 0:56:01Why hasn't he phoned? He's broken his pattern. Why?
0:56:04 > 0:56:07- Waterloo Bridge. - Where now, the gallery?
0:56:07 > 0:56:09In a bit.
0:56:09 > 0:56:11The Hickman's contemporary art, isn't it?
0:56:11 > 0:56:13- Why have they got hold of an old master?- Don't know.
0:56:13 > 0:56:16Dangerous to jump to conclusions.
0:56:16 > 0:56:18Need data...
0:56:35 > 0:56:36Stop!
0:56:36 > 0:56:38Can you wait here?
0:56:38 > 0:56:40I won't be a moment.
0:56:40 > 0:56:42Sherlock?
0:56:49 > 0:56:51Change? Any change?
0:56:51 > 0:56:54- What for?- Cup of tea, of course.
0:56:54 > 0:56:57Here you go, 50.
0:56:57 > 0:56:58Thanks.
0:57:00 > 0:57:03- What are you doing?- Investing.
0:57:12 > 0:57:16Now we go to the gallery. Have you got any cash?
0:57:29 > 0:57:33No, I need you to find out all you can about the gallery attendant.
0:57:33 > 0:57:37- Lestrade will give you the address. - OK.
0:57:50 > 0:57:52We'd been sharing about a year.
0:57:52 > 0:57:55- Just sharing.- Mmm.
0:58:06 > 0:58:08- May I?- Yeah.
0:58:09 > 0:58:12Sorry.
0:58:12 > 0:58:13Stargazer, was he?
0:58:13 > 0:58:16God, yeah. Mad about it.
0:58:16 > 0:58:19It's all he ever did in his spare time.
0:58:19 > 0:58:22He was a nice guy, Alex.
0:58:22 > 0:58:24I liked him.
0:58:24 > 0:58:27He was, er...
0:58:27 > 0:58:29never much of a one for hoovering.
0:58:32 > 0:58:34What about art? Did he know anything about that?
0:58:34 > 0:58:37It was just a job, you know?
0:58:37 > 0:58:38Mmm.
0:58:41 > 0:58:44Has anyone else been round asking about Alex?
0:58:44 > 0:58:45No.
0:58:45 > 0:58:48We had a break-in, though.
0:58:48 > 0:58:50- When?- Last night.
0:58:50 > 0:58:52There was nothing taken.
0:58:52 > 0:58:57Oh, there was a message left for Alex on the land line.
0:58:57 > 0:59:01- Who was it from? - I can play it for you, if you like. I'll get the phone.- Please.
0:59:06 > 0:59:08PHONE BEEPS
0:59:08 > 0:59:10- WOMAN:- 'Oh, should I speak now? Alex?
0:59:10 > 0:59:12'Love, it's Professor Cairns.
0:59:12 > 0:59:15'Listen, you were right. You were bloody right.
0:59:15 > 0:59:17- 'Give us a call when...' - DIALLING TONE
0:59:17 > 0:59:19Professor Cairns?
0:59:19 > 0:59:21- No idea, sorry.- Mmm.
0:59:22 > 0:59:24Can I try and ring back?
0:59:24 > 0:59:29No good. I've had other calls since. Sympathy ones, you know.
0:59:30 > 0:59:32PHONE RINGS
0:59:52 > 0:59:55Don't you have something to do?
0:59:55 > 0:59:57Just admiring the view.
0:59:57 > 0:59:58Yes.
0:59:58 > 1:00:01Lovely. Now get back to work - we open tonight.
1:00:02 > 1:00:05- Doesn't it bother you?- What?
1:00:05 > 1:00:07That the painting's a fake.
1:00:07 > 1:00:11- What?- It's a fake. It has to be. It's the only possible explanation.
1:00:11 > 1:00:14- You are in charge, aren't you, Miss Wenceslas?- Who are you?
1:00:14 > 1:00:17Alex Woodbridge knew that the painting was a fake,
1:00:17 > 1:00:18so somebody sent the Golem to take care of him. Was it you?
1:00:18 > 1:00:20Golem? What the hell are you talking about?
1:00:20 > 1:00:23Are you working for someone else? Did you fake it for them?
1:00:23 > 1:00:25It's not a fake.
1:00:25 > 1:00:26It is a fake. I don't know why.
1:00:26 > 1:00:29But there's something wrong with it, there has to be.
1:00:29 > 1:00:33- What the hell are you on about? You know I could have you sacked on the spot.- Not a problem.
1:00:33 > 1:00:35- No?- No, I don't work here, you see.
1:00:35 > 1:00:37Just popped in to give you a bit of friendly advice.
1:00:37 > 1:00:39How did you get in?
1:00:39 > 1:00:41- Please!- I want to know.
1:00:41 > 1:00:44The art of disguise is knowing how to hide in plain sight.
1:00:44 > 1:00:46- Who are you?- Sherlock Holmes.
1:00:46 > 1:00:48Am I supposed to be impressed?
1:00:48 > 1:00:51You should be.
1:00:51 > 1:00:52Have a nice day.
1:01:04 > 1:01:07DOOR CREAKS THEN SHUTS
1:01:08 > 1:01:12- WOMAN:- He wouldn't. He just wouldn't.
1:01:12 > 1:01:17- Stranger things have happened. - Westie wasn't a traitor.
1:01:17 > 1:01:19That's a horrible thing to say!
1:01:19 > 1:01:22I'm sorry. But you must understand...
1:01:22 > 1:01:24That's what they think, isn't it, his bosses?
1:01:24 > 1:01:27He was young man, about to get married, he had debts.
1:01:27 > 1:01:29Everyone's got debts,
1:01:29 > 1:01:33and Westie wouldn't want to clear them by selling out his country.
1:01:33 > 1:01:38Can you, er...? Can you tell me exactly what happened that night?
1:01:38 > 1:01:41We were having a night in.
1:01:41 > 1:01:44Just...watching a DVD.
1:01:44 > 1:01:48He normally falls asleep, you know, but he sat through this one.
1:01:50 > 1:01:51He was quiet.
1:01:53 > 1:01:57Out of the blue he said he just had to go and see someone.
1:01:57 > 1:01:58And you've no idea who?
1:02:06 > 1:02:08Hi, Liz. You OK, love?
1:02:08 > 1:02:11- Yeah.- Who's this?
1:02:11 > 1:02:14- John Watson, hi. - This is my brother, Joe.
1:02:14 > 1:02:17John's trying to find out what happened to Westie, Joe.
1:02:17 > 1:02:19- You with the police? - Sort of, yeah.
1:02:19 > 1:02:22Tell them to get off their arses, will you? It's bloody ridiculous.
1:02:22 > 1:02:23I'll do my best.
1:02:28 > 1:02:30CLEARS THROAT Well, er,
1:02:30 > 1:02:35thanks very much for your help. Again, I'm very, very sorry.
1:02:35 > 1:02:38He didn't steal those things, Mr Watson.
1:02:39 > 1:02:42I knew Westie, he was a good man.
1:02:42 > 1:02:45He was MY good man.
1:03:08 > 1:03:10- Spare change?- No.
1:03:10 > 1:03:12Any spare change?
1:03:19 > 1:03:22Alex Woodbridge didn't know anything special about art.
1:03:22 > 1:03:23- And?- And...
1:03:23 > 1:03:26Is that it? No habits, hobbies, personality?
1:03:26 > 1:03:28Give us a chance. He was an amateur astronomer.
1:03:28 > 1:03:32- Hold that cab.- Spare change, sir?- Don't mind if I do.
1:03:32 > 1:03:33WATSON: Can you wait here?
1:03:36 > 1:03:41Fortunately, I haven't been idle. Come on.
1:04:04 > 1:04:06Beautiful, isn't it?
1:04:08 > 1:04:13- I thought you didn't care about... - Doesn't mean I can't appreciate it.
1:04:13 > 1:04:17Listen, Alex Woodbridge had a message on the answerphone at his flat.
1:04:17 > 1:04:19- A Professor Cairns.- This way.
1:04:19 > 1:04:23Nice. Nice part of town.
1:04:26 > 1:04:29- Any time you want to explain? - Homeless network.
1:04:29 > 1:04:33- Really is indispensable. - Homeless network?
1:04:33 > 1:04:36- My eyes and ears, all over the city. - Ah, that's...clever.
1:04:36 > 1:04:40- So you scratch their backs, and...? - Yes, then disinfect myself.
1:04:59 > 1:05:01Sherlock! Come on!
1:05:04 > 1:05:06What's he doing sleeping rough?
1:05:06 > 1:05:10Well, he has a very distinctive look. He has to hide somewhere where tongues won't wag...much.
1:05:10 > 1:05:12- Oh sh...- What?
1:05:12 > 1:05:14- I wish I...- Don't mention it.
1:05:22 > 1:05:26- No! No! No! No! - TYRES SQUEAL
1:05:26 > 1:05:28It'll take us weeks to find him again.
1:05:28 > 1:05:31Or not. I have an idea where he might be going.
1:05:31 > 1:05:34- What?- I told you, someone left Alex Woodbridge a message.
1:05:34 > 1:05:38There can't be that many Professor Cairns in the book. Come on.
1:05:44 > 1:05:49'Jupiter, the fifth planet in our solar system, and the largest.
1:05:49 > 1:05:54'Jupiter is a gas giant. Planet Earth would fit into it 11 times.'
1:05:54 > 1:05:56Yes, we know that.

1:06:11 > 1:06:14- Tom, is that you? - '..exploded into supernovas.'

1:06:36 > 1:06:38I can't see him. I'll go round.

1:06:47 > 1:06:51'A star begins as a collapsing ball of material composed mainly of...'
1:06:51 > 1:06:53Golem! COCKS GUN
1:06:56 > 1:06:58Let him go...

1:07:49 > 1:07:51It's a fake. It has to be.
1:07:51 > 1:07:54That painting has been subjected to every test known to science.
1:07:54 > 1:07:56It's a very good fake, then.
1:07:56 > 1:07:59You know about this, don't you? This is you, isn't it?
1:07:59 > 1:08:00Inspector, my time is being wasted.
1:08:00 > 1:08:03Would you mind showing yourself and your friends out?
1:08:03 > 1:08:06- PHONE RINGS - The painting is a fake.
1:08:08 > 1:08:12It's a fake, that's why Woodbridge and Cairns were killed.
1:08:13 > 1:08:17Oh, come on, proving it's just a detail. The painting is a fake.
1:08:17 > 1:08:19I've solved it, I've figured it out.
1:08:19 > 1:08:23It's a fake, that's the answer, that's why they were killed.
1:08:27 > 1:08:30OK, I'll prove it. Give me time. Will you give me time?
1:08:30 > 1:08:34- CLOCK STARTS TICKING - 'Ten...'- It's a kid.
1:08:34 > 1:08:37- Oh God, it's a kid. - What did he say?- "Ten."
1:08:37 > 1:08:39- 'Nine...'- It's a countdown. He's giving me time.
1:08:39 > 1:08:41- Jesus...- It's a fake, but how can I prove it? How?! How?!
1:08:41 > 1:08:43'Eight...'
1:08:43 > 1:08:46This kid will die. Tell me why the painting is a fake. Tell me!
1:08:46 > 1:08:47- 'Seven...'- No, shut up.
1:08:47 > 1:08:49Don't say anything. It only works if I figure it out.
1:08:51 > 1:08:53It must be possible. It must be staring me in the face.
1:08:53 > 1:08:55- 'Six...'- How?
1:08:56 > 1:08:58- Woodbridge knew, but how?! - 'Five...'
1:08:58 > 1:09:00- It's speeding up!- Sherlock!
1:09:01 > 1:09:03- 'Four... '- Oh! In the Planetarium, you heard it too.
1:09:03 > 1:09:05Oh, that is brilliant, that is gorgeous!
1:09:05 > 1:09:08- 'Three...' - What's brilliant? What is?!
1:09:08 > 1:09:10This is beautiful. Love this!
1:09:10 > 1:09:11- 'Two...'- Sherlock!
1:09:11 > 1:09:14The Van Buren Supernova.

1:09:15 > 1:09:19'Please, is somebody there? Somebody help me.'
1:09:19 > 1:09:23There you go. Go and find out where he is and pick him up.
1:09:23 > 1:09:28Van Buren Supernova, so-called.
1:09:28 > 1:09:32Exploding star. Only appeared in the sky in 1858.
1:09:32 > 1:09:35So how could it have been...
1:09:35 > 1:09:39painted in the 1640s?
1:09:39 > 1:09:43PHONE BEEPS Oh...
1:09:43 > 1:09:45Oh.
1:09:45 > 1:09:47Oh, Sherl...
1:09:50 > 1:09:54You know, it's interesting. Bohemian stationery,
1:09:54 > 1:09:58an assassin named after a Prague legend, and you, Miss Wenceslas.
1:09:58 > 1:10:01This whole case has a distinctly Czech feeling about it.
1:10:01 > 1:10:03Is that where this leads?
1:10:04 > 1:10:07What are we looking at, Inspector?
1:10:07 > 1:10:10Well, criminal conspiracy, fraud,
1:10:10 > 1:10:13accessory after the fact, at the very least.
1:10:13 > 1:10:16The murder of the old woman, all the people in the flat...
1:10:16 > 1:10:18I didn't know anything about that.
1:10:18 > 1:10:21All those things, please, believe me.
1:10:23 > 1:10:26I just wanted my share.
1:10:26 > 1:10:27The 30 million.
1:10:34 > 1:10:36SHE SIGHS
1:10:36 > 1:10:38I found a little old man in Argentina.
1:10:40 > 1:10:43A genius - I mean, really.
1:10:43 > 1:10:45Brushwork, immaculate.
1:10:45 > 1:10:48- Could fool anyone.- Mmm.
1:10:48 > 1:10:50Well, nearly anyone.
1:10:53 > 1:10:57But I didn't know how to go about convincing the world the picture was genuine.
1:10:58 > 1:11:00It was just an idea.
1:11:02 > 1:11:04A spark which he blew into a flame.
1:11:04 > 1:11:06Who?
1:11:06 > 1:11:08I don't know.
1:11:08 > 1:11:10- LESTRADE LAUGHS - It's true!
1:11:10 > 1:11:14It took a long time, but eventually I was...
1:11:14 > 1:11:16put in touch with people.
1:11:18 > 1:11:21His people...
1:11:22 > 1:11:24Well, there was never any real contact.
1:11:26 > 1:11:29Just messages...
1:11:31 > 1:11:34..whispers.
1:11:34 > 1:11:38And did those whispers have a name?
1:11:47 > 1:11:49Moriarty.
1:12:04 > 1:12:07- WATSON: So this is where West was found?- Yeah.
1:12:07 > 1:12:09- Are you going to be long? - I might be.
1:12:09 > 1:12:11- Are you the police, then? - Sort of.
1:12:11 > 1:12:13- I hate 'em.- The police?
1:12:13 > 1:12:14No, jumpers.
1:12:14 > 1:12:18People who chuck 'emselves in front of trains. Selfish bastards.
1:12:18 > 1:12:21Well, that's one way of looking at it.
1:12:21 > 1:12:23I mean it. It's all right for them.
1:12:23 > 1:12:27It's over in a split second, strawberry jam all over the lines. What about the drivers, eh?
1:12:27 > 1:12:29They've got to live with it, haven't they?
1:12:29 > 1:12:33Yeah, speaking of strawberry jam, there's no blood on the line.
1:12:33 > 1:12:37- Has it been cleaned off? - No, there wasn't that much.
1:12:37 > 1:12:41- You said his head was smashed in. - It was, but there wasn't much blood.
1:12:42 > 1:12:48- OK. - Well, I'll leave you to it, then.
1:12:48 > 1:12:52- Just give us a shout when you're off.- Right.
1:12:52 > 1:12:59Right, so, Andrew West...got on the train somewhere. Or did he?
1:12:59 > 1:13:02There was no ticket on the body.
1:13:04 > 1:13:06How did he end up here?
1:13:06 > 1:13:07CLANKING
1:13:13 > 1:13:14- The points.- Yes!
1:13:14 > 1:13:17I knew you'd get there eventually.
1:13:17 > 1:13:19West wasn't killed here, that's why there was so little blood.
1:13:19 > 1:13:22- How long have you been following me?- Since the start.
1:13:22 > 1:13:24You don't think I'd give up on a case like this
1:13:24 > 1:13:26just to spite my brother, do you?
1:13:26 > 1:13:30Come on, we've got a bit of burglary to do.
1:13:34 > 1:13:36Missile defence plans haven't left the country,
1:13:36 > 1:13:39otherwise Mycroft's people would have heard about it.
1:13:39 > 1:13:42Despite what people think, we do still have a secret service.
1:13:42 > 1:13:44Yeah, I know, I've met them.
1:13:44 > 1:13:47Which means whoever stole the memory stick can't sell it
1:13:47 > 1:13:48or doesn't know what to do with it.
1:13:48 > 1:13:50My money's on the latter.
1:13:50 > 1:13:52We're here.
1:13:52 > 1:13:54Where?
1:14:02 > 1:14:06Sherlock! What if there's someone in?
1:14:07 > 1:14:09There isn't.
1:14:12 > 1:14:13WATSON: Jesus...
1:14:15 > 1:14:18- Where are we?- Oh, sorry, didn't I say? Joe Harrison's flat.
1:14:18 > 1:14:20Joe...?
1:14:22 > 1:14:26Brother of West's fiancee. He stole the memory stick,
1:14:26 > 1:14:28killed his prospective brother-in-law.
1:14:41 > 1:14:43Then why did he do it?
1:14:43 > 1:14:45KEYS RATTLING
1:14:45 > 1:14:47Let's ask him.
1:14:57 > 1:14:59Don't! Don't.
1:15:05 > 1:15:07He wasn't meant to...
1:15:09 > 1:15:12What's Lucy gonna say? Jesus.
1:15:12 > 1:15:14Why did you kill him?
1:15:14 > 1:15:17It was an accident. I swear it was.
1:15:17 > 1:15:22But stealing the plans for the missile defence program wasn't an accident, was it?
1:15:22 > 1:15:24I started dealing drugs.
1:15:26 > 1:15:28I mean, the bike thing's a great cover, right?
1:15:28 > 1:15:31I don't know how it started.
1:15:31 > 1:15:33I just got out of my depth.
1:15:33 > 1:15:37I owed people thousands. Serious people.
1:15:37 > 1:15:42Then at Westie's engagement do, he starts talking about his job.
1:15:45 > 1:15:47I mean, usually, he's so careful.
1:15:47 > 1:15:52'But that night, after a few pints, he really opened up.
1:15:52 > 1:15:54'He told me about these missile plans.
1:15:54 > 1:15:57'Beyond top secret.
1:15:57 > 1:16:01'He showed me the memory stick, he waved it in front of me.'
1:16:01 > 1:16:04You hear about these things getting lost,
1:16:04 > 1:16:06ending up on rubbish tips and whatnot.
1:16:06 > 1:16:09But there it was. And I thought...
1:16:09 > 1:16:12'Well, I thought it could be worth a fortune.
1:16:12 > 1:16:15'It was pretty easy to get the thing off him, he was so plastered.'
1:16:18 > 1:16:20Next time I saw him,
1:16:20 > 1:16:23'I could tell by the look on his face that he knew.'
1:16:23 > 1:16:27- What are you doing here? - What have you done with the plans?
1:16:27 > 1:16:30What happened?
1:16:35 > 1:16:39'I was going to call an ambulance, but it was too late.
1:16:39 > 1:16:45'I just didn't have a clue what to do. So I dragged him in 'ere.'
1:16:45 > 1:16:48I just sat in the dark, thinking.
1:16:49 > 1:16:51When a neat little idea popped into your head.
1:17:32 > 1:17:36Carrying Andrew West way away from here. His body would have gone on for ages
1:17:36 > 1:17:40if the train hadn't hit a stretch of track that curved.
1:17:40 > 1:17:42- And points.- Exactly.
1:17:45 > 1:17:48Do you still have it, then - the memory stick?
1:17:49 > 1:17:52Fetch it for me, if you wouldn't mind.
1:18:02 > 1:18:04Distraction over - the game continues.
1:18:04 > 1:18:07Maybe that's over, too. We've heard nothing from the bomber.
1:18:07 > 1:18:08Five pips, remember, John.
1:18:08 > 1:18:12It's a countdown. We've only had four.
1:18:12 > 1:18:15SHOUTING ON TELEVISION
1:18:15 > 1:18:20No, no, no! Course he's not the boy's father.
1:18:20 > 1:18:22Look at the turn-ups on his jeans!
1:18:24 > 1:18:27- I knew it was dangerous.- Hm?
1:18:27 > 1:18:29Getting you into crap telly.
1:18:29 > 1:18:32Not a patch on Connie Prince.
1:18:32 > 1:18:36- Have you given Mycroft the memory stick yet?- Yep. He was over the moon.
1:18:36 > 1:18:40Threatened me with a knighthood...again.
1:18:40 > 1:18:44- You know, I'm still waiting.- Hm?
1:18:44 > 1:18:46For you to admit that a little knowledge of the solar system
1:18:46 > 1:18:49and you'd have cleared up the fake painting a lot quicker.
1:18:49 > 1:18:51It didn't do you any good, did it?
1:18:51 > 1:18:53No, but I'm not the world's only consulting detective.
1:18:53 > 1:18:55- True.- I won't be in for tea.
1:18:55 > 1:18:59I'm going to Sarah's. There's still some of that risotto left in the fridge.
1:18:59 > 1:19:02- Milk, we need milk.- I'll get some.
1:19:02 > 1:19:03- Really?- Really.
1:19:06 > 1:19:08- And some beans, then?- Mm.
1:19:16 > 1:19:18DOOR CLOSES
1:19:47 > 1:19:49FOOTSTEPS
1:20:21 > 1:20:25Bought you a little getting-to-know-you present.
1:20:25 > 1:20:28That's what it's all been for, isn't it?
1:20:31 > 1:20:33All your little puzzles, making me dance.
1:20:33 > 1:20:36All to distract me from this.
1:20:48 > 1:20:50Evening.
1:20:55 > 1:20:57This is a turn-up, isn't it, Sherlock?
1:20:57 > 1:21:02- John! What the hell...? - Bet you never saw this coming.
1:21:08 > 1:21:15What...would you like me to make him say...next?
1:21:17 > 1:21:20Gottle o' gear, gottle o' gear,
1:21:20 > 1:21:22- gottle o' gear.- Stop it.
1:21:22 > 1:21:25Nice touch, this. The pool,
1:21:25 > 1:21:28where little Carl died.
1:21:28 > 1:21:33I stopped him. I can stop John Watson, too.
1:21:33 > 1:21:38- Stop his heart.- Who are you?
1:21:38 > 1:21:40DOOR OPENS
1:21:40 > 1:21:42I gave you my number.
1:21:42 > 1:21:45I thought you might call.
1:21:59 > 1:22:03Is that a British Army Browning L9A1 in your pocket,
1:22:03 > 1:22:06or are you just pleased to see me?
1:22:07 > 1:22:09Both.
1:22:11 > 1:22:14Jim Moriarty. Hi.
1:22:16 > 1:22:19Jim?
1:22:19 > 1:22:21Jim from the hospital?
1:22:23 > 1:22:26Oh, did I really make such a fleeting impression?
1:22:26 > 1:22:29But then, I suppose, that was rather the point.
1:22:31 > 1:22:35Don't be silly. Someone else is holding the rifle.
1:22:35 > 1:22:38I don't like getting my hands dirty.
1:22:41 > 1:22:46I've given you a glimpse, Sherlock, just a teensy glimpse
1:22:46 > 1:22:51of what I've got going on out there in the big bad world.
1:22:51 > 1:22:54I'm a specialist, you see.
1:22:54 > 1:22:56Like you.
1:22:56 > 1:22:57Dear Jim...
1:22:59 > 1:23:02..please will you fix it for me
1:23:02 > 1:23:06to get rid of my lover's nasty sister?
1:23:06 > 1:23:10Dear Jim, please will you fix it for me to disappear to South America?
1:23:10 > 1:23:11Just so.
1:23:11 > 1:23:14Consulting criminal.
1:23:14 > 1:23:18- Brilliant.- Isn't it?
1:23:18 > 1:23:21No-one ever gets to me.
1:23:23 > 1:23:25And no-one ever will.
1:23:25 > 1:23:26- I did. - COCKS GUN
1:23:26 > 1:23:28You've come the closest. Now you're in my way.
1:23:28 > 1:23:30- Thank you. - Didn't mean it as a compliment.
1:23:30 > 1:23:32- Yes, you did.- Yeah, OK, I did.
1:23:32 > 1:23:34But the flirting's over, Sherlock.
1:23:34 > 1:23:37- SINGSONG - Daddy's had enough now.
1:23:37 > 1:23:39I've shown you what I can do.
1:23:39 > 1:23:43I cut loose all those people, all those little problems,
1:23:43 > 1:23:47even 30 million quid, just to get you to come out and play.
1:23:47 > 1:23:51So take this as a friendly warning... my dear.
1:23:51 > 1:23:54Back off.
1:23:55 > 1:23:59Although I have loved this,
1:23:59 > 1:24:01this little game of ours.
1:24:01 > 1:24:07Playing Jim from IT. Playing gay. Did you like the little touch with the underwear?
1:24:07 > 1:24:10- People have died. - That's what people do!
1:24:12 > 1:24:15- I will stop you.- No, you won't.
1:24:15 > 1:24:17Are you all right?
1:24:19 > 1:24:21You can talk, Johnny boy.
1:24:21 > 1:24:23Go ahead.
1:24:23 > 1:24:27- Take it.- Mm? Oh...
1:24:28 > 1:24:31..that? The missile plans.
1:24:36 > 1:24:37Boring!
1:24:37 > 1:24:40I could have got them anywhere.
1:24:40 > 1:24:42Sherlock, run!
1:24:42 > 1:24:45- HE LAUGHS - Good!
1:24:45 > 1:24:48Very good.
1:24:48 > 1:24:52If your sniper pulls that trigger, Mr Moriarty, then we both go up.
1:24:52 > 1:24:56Isn't he sweet? I can see why you like having him around.
1:24:56 > 1:24:59But then, people do get so sentimental about their pets.
1:24:59 > 1:25:01They're so touchingly loyal.
1:25:01 > 1:25:02But oops!
1:25:03 > 1:25:07You've rather shown your hand there, Dr Watson.
1:25:11 > 1:25:13Gotcha.
1:25:17 > 1:25:23Westwood. Do you know what happens if you don't leave me alone, Sherlock? To you?
1:25:23 > 1:25:26Oh, let me guess. I get killed.
1:25:26 > 1:25:27Kill you?
1:25:27 > 1:25:32No, don't be obvious. I mean, I'm going to kill you anyway, some day.
1:25:32 > 1:25:33I don't want to rush it, though.
1:25:33 > 1:25:36I'm saving it up for something special.
1:25:36 > 1:25:42No, no, no, no, no. If you don't stop prying, I'll burn you.
1:25:44 > 1:25:49I'll burn the heart out of you.
1:25:50 > 1:25:53I have been reliably informed that I don't have one.
1:25:53 > 1:25:55But we both know that's not quite true.
1:25:59 > 1:26:03Well, I'd better be off.
1:26:03 > 1:26:06Well, so nice to have had a proper chat.
1:26:06 > 1:26:08What if I was to shoot you now?
1:26:08 > 1:26:10Right now?
1:26:10 > 1:26:13Then you could cherish the look of surprise on my face.
1:26:14 > 1:26:16Cos I'd be surprised, Sherlock.
1:26:16 > 1:26:18Really, I would.
1:26:18 > 1:26:23And just a teensy bit...disappointed.
1:26:25 > 1:26:28And of course, you wouldn't be able to cherish it for very long.
1:26:29 > 1:26:33Ciao, Sherlock Holmes.
1:26:34 > 1:26:39Catch you...later.
1:26:40 > 1:26:43- No, you won't! - DOOR CLOSES
1:26:48 > 1:26:51All right? Are you all right?
1:26:51 > 1:26:55Yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine. Sherlock...
1:26:55 > 1:26:57Sherlock!
1:26:58 > 1:27:00HE GASPS
1:27:04 > 1:27:05Oh, Christ.
1:27:15 > 1:27:19- Are you OK? - Me? Yeah, fine. I'm fine. Fine.
1:27:21 > 1:27:25That, er...thing that you... that you did,
1:27:25 > 1:27:31that, um...you offered to do... that was, um...good.
1:27:32 > 1:27:36- I'm glad no-one saw that.- Mm?
1:27:36 > 1:27:40You ripping my clothes off in a darkened swimming pool.
1:27:40 > 1:27:41People might talk.
1:27:42 > 1:27:45They do little else.
1:27:50 > 1:27:55- Oh... - Sorry, boys. I'm so changeable!
1:27:55 > 1:27:57It is a weakness with me, but to be fair to myself,
1:27:57 > 1:27:59it is my only weakness.
1:27:59 > 1:28:01You can't be allowed to continue.
1:28:03 > 1:28:04You just can't.
1:28:04 > 1:28:07I would try to convince you,
1:28:07 > 1:28:11but everything I have to say has already crossed your mind.
1:28:16 > 1:28:18Probably my answer has crossed yours.
