The name is Sherlock Holmes
and the address is 221 B Baker Street.

(CLICKS TONGUE) Afternoon!

Yeah, he's always like that.

Bad day, was it?

MYCROFF: Since yesterday,
you've moved in with him

and now you're solving crimes together.

-(KISSING)
- Making you all happy. It's not decent.

Who cares about decent?
The game, Mrs Hudson, is on!

(EXPLOSION)

Don't make people into heroes, john.

Heroes don't exist, and if they did,
I wouldn't be one of them.

I will burn the heart out of you.

Right. This should do it.

- You wearing any pants? Okay.
- No.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

This is how I want you to remember me,
the woman who beat you.

But there never was any monster.

(HOWLING)

-(ROARING)
- Sherlock!

Here we are at last.

-(GASPS)
-(GUNSHOT)

- Goodb ye, john.
- Sherlock!

MYCROFY: Those things will kill you.

Oh, you bastard!

The thrill of the chase,
the blood pumping through your veins,

just the two of us
against the rest of the world.

JOHN: Wait!

We're going to need to coordinate.

I asked you for one more miracle.
I asked you to stop being dead.

I heard you.

Shut up! You are not a puzzle solver,
you never have been.

You're a drama queen!

Now, there is a man in there
about to die.

The game is on, solve it!

SHERLOCK:
He is the Napoleon of blackmail.

No chance for you to be a hero
this time, Mr Holmes.

I'm a high-functioning sociopath.

(GUNSHOT)

MYCROFF: There is no prison in which
we could incarcerate Sherlock

without causing a riot on a daily basis.

The alternative, however,
would require your approval.

To the very best of times, john.

WOMAN". Did you miss me?

- MORIARTY: Did you miss me?
- How is this possible?

MYCROFY: How is the exile going?

I've only been gone four minutes.

Well, I certainly hope
you've learned your lesson.

Who needs me this time?

Miss me?

England.

JO H N: The second Afghan war
brought honours and promotion to many.

But for me it meant nothing
but misfortune and disaster.

(GROANS)

(GASPING)

-(EXPLOSION)
-(SOLDIER CALLS OUT)

JO H N: I returned to England
with my health irretrie vabl y ruined

and my future bleak.

Under such circumstances,
I naturally gravitated to London.

That great cesspool
into which all the loungers

and idlers of the empire are drained.

STAMFORD: Watson!

Stamford.

Remember?

We were at Bath together?

Yes, of course. Stamford.

Good lord!

Where have you been?
You're as stiff as a rake!

I made it home, many weren't so lucky.

So, what now?

Mmm, I need a place to live.

Somewhere decent and affordable prices.
It's not easy.

(CH UCKLES)

You know, you're the second person
to say that to me today.

Hmm? Who was the first?

(WHIPPING CONTINUES)

Good lord!

It's an experiment, apparently.

Beating corpses to establish how long
after death bruising is still possible.

Is there a medical point to that?

Not sure.

Neither am I.

So, who is this friend of yours, then?

(WHIPPING CONTINUES)

STAMFORD: Excuse me!

I do hope we're not interrupting.

You've been in Afghanistan, I perceive.

Dr Watson, Mr Sherlock.

Excellent reflexes. You'll do.

I'm sorry.

I may have a suite of rooms
near Regent's Park.

Between us, we could afford them.

Rooms? Who said anything about rooms?

I did. I mentioned
to Stamford this morning

that I was in need of a fellow lodger.

Now he appears after lunch
in the company of a man

of military aspect
with a tan and a recent injury.

Both suggestive of the campaign
in Afghanistan

and an enforced departure from it.

The conclusion seemed inescapable.

We'll finalise the details
tomorrow evening.

Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have a hanging in Wandsworth

and I would hate for them
to start without me.

Hanging?

I take a professional interest.

I also play the violin and smoke a pipe.

- I presume that's not a problem.
- Uh, no, well...

And you're clearly acclimatised to never
getting to the end of a sentence.

We'll get along splendidly.

Tomorrow evening, 7:00 then.

Oh, and the name is Sherlock Holmes

and the address is 221 B Baker Street.

Yes, he's always been like that.

(TH EME MUSIC PLAYING)

Papers!

Papers!

Papers!

Papers!

Here.

How's The Blue Carbuncle doing?

Very popular, Dr Watson.

Is there going to be
a proper murder next month?

I'll have a word
with the criminal classes.

If you wouldn't mind.

Is that him?

Is he in there?

-(THUD)
- Oh! No. No, no, not at all.

Uh, good day to you.

(STAG ECOACH DRIVER CALLS)

Merry Christmas, Mr Holmes!

Mr Holmes.

I do wish you'd let me know
when you're planning to come home.

I hardly knew myself, Mrs Hudson.

That's the trouble
with dismembered country squires.

They're notoriously
difficult to schedule.

- What's in there?
- Never mind.

Thank you.

Did you catch a murderer, Mr Holmes?

Caught the murderer,
still looking for the legs.

I think we'll call it a draw.

And I noticed you've published
another of your stories, Dr Watson.

Yes, did you enjoy it?

No.

JOHN: Oh!

MRS HUDSON: I never enjoy them.
JOHN: Why not?

Well, I never say anything, do I?

According to you, I just show people up
the stairs and serve you breakfasts.

Well, within the narrative, that is,
broadly speaking, your function.

MRS HUDSON: My what?

Don't feel singled out, Mrs Hudson.

- I'm hardly in the dog one.
- The dog one?

I'm your landlady, not a plot device.

Do you mean
The Hound of the Baskervilles?

And you make the room so drab and dingy.

Oh, blame it on the illustrator.
He's out of control!

I've had to grow this moustache
just so people would recognise me.

JOH N: Over the many years
it has been my privilege

to recall the exploits of my remarkable
friend Mr Sherlock Holmes,

it has sometimes
been difficult to choose

which of his many cases
to set before my readers.

Some are still too sensitive to recount,

whilst others are too recent
in the minds of the public.

But in all our many
adventures together,

no case pushed my friend to such
mental and physical extremes

as that of The Abominable Bride.

Good lord!

Mrs Hudson!

There is a woman in my sitting room!

Is it intentional?

MRS HUDSON: She's a client.

Said you were out, insisted on waiting.

Would you, uh, care to sit down?

SHERLOCK: Didn't you ask her
what she wanted?

MRS HUDSON: You ask her!

Why didn't you ask her?

How could I?
What with me not talking and everything!

(SIGHS)

For God's sake, give her some lines,
she's perfectly capable of starving us!

Good afternoon, I'm Sherlock Holmes.

This is my friend
and colleague, Dr Watson.

You may speak freely in front of him
as he barely understands a word.

Holmes!

However, before you do, allow me
to make some trifling observations.

You have an impish sense of humour,

which currently you are deploying
to ease a degree of personal anguish.

You have recently married a man
of a seemingly kindly disposition

who has now abandoned you

for an unsavoury companion
of dubious morals.

You have come to this agency
as a last resort

in the hope that reconciliation
may still be possible.

Good lord, Holmes!

All of this is, of course,
perfectly evident from your perfume.

Her perfume?

Yes, her perfume which brings
insight to me and disaster to you.

How so?

Because I recognised it and you did not.

_Mary-
�John

Why in God's name
are you pretending to be a client?

Because I could think of no other way
to see my husband.

Husband.

(SHERLOCK PLAYING VIOLIN)

It was an affair
of international intrigue.

MARY: It was a murdered country squire.

Nevertheless, matters were pressing.

I don't mind you going, my darling.
I mind you leaving me behind!

- But what could you do?
- Oh, what do you do?

Except wander around,
taking notes, looking surprised.

Enough!

The stage is set, the curtain rises.

We are ready to begin.

MARY: Begin what?

Sometimes to solve a case,
one must first solve another.

JOHN: Well, you have a case then?
A new one?

An old one, very old.

I shall have to go deep.

Deep into what?

Myself.

Lestrade, do stop loitering
by the door and come in.

How did you know it was me?

SHERLOCK:
Regulation tread is unmistakable.

Lighter than Jones,
heavier than Gregson.

Oh, yeah, I just came up.

Mrs Hudson didn't seem to be talking.

I fear she has branched into
literary criticism by means of satire.

It is a distressing trend
in the modern landlady.

What brings you here
in your off-duty hours?

How do you know I'm off duty?

Well, since your arrival,

you've addressed over 40%
of your remarks to my decanter.

Watson, give the Inspector
what he so clearly wants.

So, Lestrade,

what could we do for you?

Oh, I'm not here on business,
I just thought I'd drop by.

Social ca ll?

Of course, just to wish you
the compliments of the season.

- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.

- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.

Thank God that's over.

Now, Inspector, what strange
happening compels you to my door,

but emba rrasses you to relate?

- Who said anything happened?
- You did.

By every means short of actual speech.

Uh, uh, uh, Holmes.

You have misdiagnosed.

Then correct me, Doctor.

He didn't want a drink, he needed one.

He's not embarrassed, he's afraid.

My Boswell is learning.

They do grow up so fast.

Watson, restore the courage
of Scotland Yard.

Inspector, do sit down.

I'm not afraid, exactly.

Fear is wisdom in the face of danger.

It is nothing to be ashamed of.

Thank you.

From the beginning then.

(MAN SHOUTING)

You!

No! Please!

MAN: No!

You!

(GUNSHOTS)

A moment.

When was this?

LESTRADE: Yesterday morning.

The bride's face, how is it described?

White as death,
mouth like a crimson wound.

SHERLOCK: Poetry or truth?

Well, many would say
they're the same thing.

Yes, idiots. Poetry or truth?

I saw her face myself, afterwards.

- After what?
- You ...

Or me.

(PEOPLE GASPING)

(SIGHS) Really, Lestrade.

A woman blows her
own brains out in public

and you need help
identifying the guilty party.

I feel Scotland Yard
has reached a new low.

That's not why I'm here.

- I surmise.
- What was her name? The bride?

Emelia Ricoletti.
Yesterday was her wedding anniversary.

The police, of course, were called.

And her body taken to the morgue.

Standard procedure. Why are you
telling us what may be presumed?

'Cause of what happened next.

LESTRADE: Lime House.

just a few hours later.

(CLOCK CHIMING)

Thomas Ricoletti,

Emelia Ricoletti's husband.

Presumably on his way to the morgue
to identify her remains.

As it turned out, he was saved the trip.

# Do not forget me

# Do not forget me

# Remember the maiden #

THOMAS: Who are you?

Why are you doing this?

Just tell me who you are?

You recognise our song, my dear?

I sang it at our wedding.

(THOMAS SHIVERS)

Emelia?

(STAMMERS) You're dead.
You can't be here, you died.

Am I not beautiful, Thomas?

As beautiful as the day you married me.

Who...

POLICEMAN: What the hell
is all this about?

What does it look like,
my handsome friend?

It's a shotgun wedding.

(GUNFIRE)

Till death us do part.

Twice, in this case.

(WOMAN SCREAMS)

(BLOWS WHISTLE)

Extraordinary.

Impossible.

Superb. Suicide a street theatre,
Murder by Corpse.

Lestrade, you're spoiling us.

Watson, your hat and coat.

- Where are we going?
- To the morgue.

There's not a moment to lose,

which one can so rarely say
of the morgue.

And am I just to sit here?

Not at all.
My dear, we'll be hungry later.

Holmes, just one thing,
tweeds in a morgue?

Needs must
when the devil drives, Watson.

LESTRADE: Ma'am.

I'm part of a campaign, you know.

Huh? Campaign?

Votes for women.

And are you for or against?

Get out.

(SIGHS)

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

Ooh, ooh.

Oh! Have they gone off again, have they?

I don't know.

What a life those gentlemen lead.

Yes.

Those gentlemen.

Oh, never you mind. Oh!

Almost forgot, that came for you.

Oh.

Mmm-hmm.

Mrs Hudson, tell my husband
I'll be home late.

I have some urgent business.

Is everything all right?

Oh, you know, just a...
(CLEARS THROAT) Friend in need.

Oh, dear, what friend?

England.

Well, that's not very specific.

Who's on mortuary duty?

LESTRADE: You know who.

Always him.

Please tell me which idiot did this.

It's for everyone's safety.

This woman is dead.

Half her head is missing.
She's not a threat to anyone!

Tell that to her husband,
he's under a sheet over there.

Whatever happened
in Lime House last night,

I think we can safely assume
it wasn't the work of a dead woman.

Stranger things have happened.

Such as?

ANDERSON: Well...

- Strange things.
-jOHN: You're speaking like a child.

This is clearly man's work. Where is he?

(GATE OPENS)

Holmes.

Hooper.

You, back to work!

So?

Come to astonish us
with your magic tricks, I suppose.

Is there anything to which
you would like to draw my attention?

Nothing at all, Mr Holmes.

You may leave anytime you like.

Dr Hooper, I asked
Mr Holmes to come here.

Cooperate. That's an order.

There are two features of interest,

as you are always saying
in Dr Watson's stories.

I never say that.

You do, actually, quite a lot.

First of all,
this is definitely Emelia Ricoletti.

She has been categorically identified.
Beyond a doubt, it is her.

Then who was that
in Lime House last night?

That was also Emelia Ricoletti.

It can't have been her.

She was dead, she was here.

She was positively identified by her
own husband seconds before he died.

Had no reason to lie,
could hardly have been mistaken.

The cabby knew her, too.
There's no question it's her.

But she can't have been in two places
at the same time, can she?

No, Watson, one place is strictly
the limit for the recently deceased.

- Holmes, could it have been twins?
- No.

- Why not?
- Because it's never twins.

LESTRADE: Emelia was not a twin,
nor did she have any sisters.

She had one older brother
who died four years ago.

Mmm...

Maybe it was a secret twin.

A what?

A secret twin.

Mmm? You know?

A twin that nobody knows about.

This whole thing
could have been planned.

Since the moment of conception,

how breathtakingly prescient of her.

It is never twins, Watson!

Then what's your theory?

More to the point, what's your problem?

- I don't understand...
- Why were you so frightened?

Nothing so far has justified
your assault on my decanter.

And why have allowed a dead woman
to placed under arrest?

Ah, that would be the other
feature of interest.

JOHN: The smear of blood on her finger.

That could have happened
any number of ways.

Indeed.

There's one other thing.

It wasn't there earlier.

Neither was that.

You!

You!

You!

Holmes.

Gun in the mouth,

bullet through the brain,

back of the head blown clean off.

How could he survive?

She, you mean.

I'm sorry.

JOHN: Not he, she.

Yes, I suppose.

Well, thank you all
for a fascinating case.

I'll send you a telegram
when I've solved it. Watson.

The gunshot wound was obviously
the cause of death,

but there are
clear indicators of consumption.

Might be worth a post-mortem.

We need all the information we can get.

Oh, isn't he observant
now that Daddy is gone.

I am observant in some ways,

just as Holmes is
quite blind than others.

- Really?
- Yes.

Really.

Amazing, what one has to do
to get ahead in a man's world.

What's he saying that for?

Get back to work.

Well, Holmes,
surely you must have some theory.

Not yet.

These are deep waters, Watson,
deep waters.

And I shall have to go deeper still.

JOH N: It was not for several months

that we were to pick up the threads
of this strange case again.

And then,
under very unexpected circumstances.

Five of them now?

All the same, everyone of 'em.

Hush, please.
This is a matter of supreme importance.

What is?

The obliquity of the ecliptic,
you have to understand it.

What is it?

I don't know.
I'm still trying to understand it.

I thought you understood everything.

Of course, not.

That would be an appalling
waste of brain space. I specialise.

LESTRADE:
And what's so important about this?

What's so important
about five boring murders?

They're not boring. Five men dead.

Murdered in their own homes,
rice on the floor, like at a wedding

and the word "you"
written in blood on the wall!

(STAMMERS) It's her. It's the bride.

- Somehow, she's risen again.
- Solved it.

You can't have solved it!

Of course, I've solved it.
It's perfectly simple.

The incident of the mysterious
Mrs Ricoletti,

the killer from beyond the grave

has been widely reported
in the popular press.

Now people are disguising
their own dull little murders

as the work of a ghost

to confuse the impossibly imbecilic
Scotland Yard.

There you are, solved.

Pay Mrs Hudson a visit on your way out.
She likes to feel involved.

You sure?

Certainly. Go away. Watson!

I'm ready. Your hat and boots.
We have an important appointment.

Didn't Dr Watson move out
a few months ago?

He did, didn't he?

Who have I been talking
to all this time?

Well, speaking on behalf of the
impossibly imbecilic Scotland Yard,

that chair is definitely empty.

It is, isn't it?

Works surprisingly well then.

Actually I thought he was improving.

JQHN: Ah!

Where have you been?

Sorry, sir, I'm rather behind
my time this morning.

Are you incapable of boiling an egg?

The fires are rarely lit.
There is dust everywhere.

And you almost destroyed my boots
scrapping the mud off them!

If it wasn't my wife's business
to deal with the staff,

I would talk to you myself.
Where is my wife?

Begging your pardon, sir,
but the mistress has gone out.

- Out? At this hour of the morning?
- Yes, sir.

- Did you not know that, sir?
- Where did she go?

She's always out these days.

(CHUCKLES) Not unlike yourself, sir.

I'm sorry?

Just observing, sir.

Well, that's quite enough.
Nobody asked you to be observant.

Sorry, sir, I just meant

you're hardly ever home
together any more, sir.

You are dangerously close
to impertinence.

I shall have a word with my wife
to have a word with you.

Very good, sir.

And when will you be seeing her?

- Now, listen...
- Oh, I nearly forgot.

- Sir, a telegram came for you.
- You forgot?

No, I nearly forgot.

What have you been doing all morning?

Reading your new one in The Strand sir.

Did You enjoy it?

- Why do you never mention me, sir?
- Go away.

JOHN: The what of the what?

SHERLOCK: The obliquity of the ecliptic.

"Come at once," you said,
I assumed it was important.

It is. It's the inclination
of the Earth's equator

to the path of the sun
on the celestial plane.

(SCOFFS) You've been swatting up.

- Why would I do that? I am clever.
- To sound clever.

Oh, I see.

You see what?

I deduce we are on our way to see
someone cleverer than you.

Shut up.

MAN: Shh.

Sorry, what? Oh.

To anyone who wishes to study mankind,
this is the spot.

Handy, really, as your ever expanding
backside is permanently glued to it.

- Good morning, brother mine.
- Sherlock. Dr Watson.

- You look well, sir.
- Really?

I rather thought I looked enormous.

Well, now you mention it,
this level of consumption is

incredibly injurious to your health.

- Your heart...
- No need to worry on that score, Watson.

There's only a large cavity
where that organ should reside.

It's a family trait.

Oh, I wasn't being critical.

If you continue like this, sir,
I give you five years at the most.

Five? We thought three,
did we not, Sherlock?

I'm still inclined to four.

As ever, you see,
but you do not observe.

Note the discolouration
in the whites in my eyes,

the visible rings of fat
around the cornea.

- Yes, you're right.
- I'm changing my bet

to three years, four months and 11 days.

- A bet?
- I understand your disapproval, Watson.

But if he's feeling competitive,

it's perfectly within
his power to die early.

That's a risk you'll have to take.

You're gambling with your own life.

Why not? It's so much more exciting
than gambling with others.

Three yea rs flat,
if you eat that plum pudding.

Done.

(MY CROFT GULP S)

I expected to see you a few days ago
about the Manor House case.

I thought you might
be a little out of your depth there.

- No, I solved it.
- MYCROFl': It was Adams, of course.

Yes, it was Adams.

Murderous jealousy.

He'd written a paper
for the Royal Astronomical Society

on the obliquity of the ecliptic.

And then read another
that seemed to surpass it.

- SHERLOCK: I know, I read it.
- Do you understand it?

Yes. Of course, I understood it.
It was perfectly simple.

No, did you understand
the murderousjealousy?

It is no easy thing for a great mind
to contemplate a still greater one.

Did you summon me here
just to humiliate me?

Yes. (CHUCKLES) Of course not.

But it is by far the greater pleasure.

Would you mind explaining
exactly why you did...

Our way of life is under threat
from an invisible enemy.

One that hovers at our elbow
on a daily basis.

These enemies are everywhere,

undetected,

and unstoppable.

Socialists?

Not socialists, Doctor, no.

- Anarchists? The French?
- No.

The suffragists?

Is there any large body of people,
you're not concerned about?

Dr Watson is endlessly vigilant.

- Ela bo rate.
- MYCRO FT: No, investigate.

This is a conjecture of mine.
I need you to confirm it.

I'm sending you a case.

- The Scots.
- The Scots!

Are you aware of recent theories
concerning what is known as paranoia?

Ooh, sounds Serbian.

A woman will call on you.
Lady Carmichael.

I want you to take her case.

But these enemies,
how are we to defeat them

if you won't tell us about them?

We don't defeat them.

We must certainly lose to them.

Why?

Because they are right.

And we are wrong.

Lady Carmichael's case, what is it?

Rest assured,
it has features of interest.

- I never really say that.
- No, you really do.

And you've solved it already, I assume.

Only in my head,
I need you for the, uh...

Legwork.

Why not just tell us your solution?

Where'd be the sport in that?

Will you do it, Sherlock?

I can promise you
a superior distraction.

On one condition.

- Have another plum pudding.
- There's one on the way.

Two years, 11 months and four days.

(CHUCKLES) It's getting exciting now.
Tick-tock, tick-tock.

�Ck-tuck.

Thank you, Wilder.

Also a Mr Malice to see Mr Holmes.

Ah! Give me five minutes.
I have a wager to win.

Better make that 15.

�Ck-tuck.

LADY CARMICHAEL: Mr Holmes,
I have come here for advice.

SHERLOCK: That is easily got.

- And help.
- Not always so easy.

Something has happened, Mr Holmes.
Something...

Unusualand...

- Terrifying.
- Then you are in luck.

"Luck."

Those are my specialisms.
This is really very promising.

Holmes.

Please, do tell us,
what has so distressed you?

I...

I thought long and hard
as to what to do,

but then it occurred me to that

my husband was an acquaintance of your
brother and that perhaps through him...

The fact is I'm not sure this comes
within your purview, Mr Holmes.

No?

Lord help me...

I think it may be a matter for a priest.

EUSTACE: And what did
your morning threaten, my dear?

A vigourous round of embroidering?

An exhausting appointment
at the milliners?

I hope you're teasing, Eustace.

(CH UCKLES)

What is it?

Eustace?

Daniel, Sophie, go out and play.

- But, Mama...
- Do as I tell you, quickly now.

(LAUGHS)

Eustace, what does this mean?

Death.

What?

It means death.

Uh, nothing. It's, uh, nothing.

I was mistaken.

My dear, you've gone quite pale.

(CUTLERY CLATFERING)

It's nothing.

Eustace...

SHERLOCK". Did you keep the envelope?

My husband destroyed it.

But it was blank.
No name or address of any kind.

Tell me, has Sir Eustace
spent time in America?

- No.
- Not even before your marriage?

Well, not to my knowledge.

Mmm.

Pray, continue
with your fascinating narrative.

Well, that incident took place
last Monday morning.

It was two days later on the Wednesday
that my husband first saw her.

Who?

LADY CARMICHAEL: Eustace?

(EU ST ACE MO AN S)

(5055)

She's come for me, Louisa.

Oh, God, help me.
My sins have found me out.

Well, who's come for you?

Eustace, you're frightening me?

Look! Look!

Don't you see her?

No, I see no one.

Gone.

(SOBBING)

You keep so many secrets from me.
Is this another?

Who have you seen?

It was her.

It was the bride.

And you saw nothing?

Nothing.

- Did your husband describe...
- Nothing.

Until this morning.

LADY CARMICHAEL: Eustace!

(PANTING)

Eustace!

Eustace!

Eustace!

Ahh!

Blast!

Eustace!

Where are you? It's me.

EMELIA: # Do not forget me

# Do not forget me

# Remember the maiden

# Remember #

Who are you?

I demand you speak. Who are you?

Eustace.

Speak to me, in the name of God!

She's...

She is Emelia Ricoletti.

(CH UCKLES)

(MUMBLES)

Not you.

No!

(SOBS) Please.

This night, Eustace Carmichael,

you will die.

(MOANS)

(PANTING)

-jOHN: Holmes?
- Hush, Watson.

But Emelia Ricoletti, the bride.

- Well, you know the name?
- You must forgive Watson.

He has an enthusiasm for stating
the obvious which borders on mania.

May I ask,
how is your husband this morning?

He refuses to speak about the matter.

Obviously, I have urged him
to leave the house.

No, no, he must stay
exactly where he is.

Well, you don't think he's in danger?

Oh, no. Somebody definitely wants
to kill him, but that's good for us.

You can't set a trap without bait.

My husband is not bait, Mr Holmes.

No, but he could be if we play
our cards right. Now, listen.

You must go home immediately.

Dr Watson and I will
follow on the next train.

There's not a moment to lose.
See, Eustace is to die tonight.

- Holmes!
- And we should probably avoid that.

- Definitely.
- Definitely avoid that.

Little brother has taken the case,
of course.

I now rely on you
to keep an eye on things.

But he must never suspect
you were working for me.

Are you clear on that, Watson?

You can rely on me, Mr Holmes.

- You don't suppose...
- No, I don't, and neither should you.

You don't know what I was going to say.

You were about to suggest there
may be some supernatural agency

involved in this matter and I was
about to laugh in your face.

But the bride, Holmes.

Emelia Ricoletti, again,
a dead woman walking the Earth.

-(SIGHS) You amaze me, Watson.
- I do?

Since when have you had
any kind of imagination?

Perhaps since I convinced
the reading public

that an unprincipled drug addict
was some kind of gentlemen hero.

Yes, now you come to mention it,
that was quite impressive.

You may, however, rest assured
there are no ghosts in this world.

Save for those we make for ourselves.

Sorry, what did you say?

"Ghosts we make for ourselves,"
what do you mean?

EUSTACE: Somnambulism.

JOHN: I beg your pardon?

I sleepwalk, that's all.

It's a common enough condition.
I thought you were a doctor.

The whole thing was a...

...bad dream.

Including the contents
of the envelope you received?

(SCOFFS) Well, that's a grotesque joke.

Well, that's not the impression
you gave your wife, sir.

She's an hysteric, prone to fancies.

No.

I'm sorry, what did you say?

I said, no, she's not an hysteric.

She's a highly intelligent woman
of rare perception.

My wife sees terror in an orange pip.

Your wife can see worlds

where no one else can see
anything of value whatsoever.

EUSTACE: Can she really?

And how do you deduce that, Mr Holmes?

She married you.

I assume she was
capable of finding a reason.

I'll do my best to save
your life tonight.

But first, it would help
if you would explain your connection

to the Ricoletti case.

Rico letti?

Yes. In detail, please.

Never heard of her.

Interesting, I didn't mention
she was a woman.

We'll show ourselves out.

I hope to see you again in the morning.

You will not!

Then sadly I shall be
solving your murder. Good day.

Well, you tried.

Will you see that
Lady Carmichael receives this?

Thank you, good afternoon.

What was that?

Lady Carmichael will sleep alone
tonight upon the pretence

of a violent headache, all the doors
and windows of the house will be locked.

(SCOFFS) You think the spectre...

Uh, bride will attempt to lure
Sir Eustace outside again?

Certainly.
Why else the portentous threat?

"This night you will die."

But he won't follow her, surely?

It's difficult to say
quite what he'll do.

Guilt is eating away at his soul.

Guilt? About what?

Something in his past.
The orange pips were a reminder.

- Not a joke?
- Not at all.

Orange pips are a traditional warning of
avenging death originating in America.

Sir Eustace knows this only too well,

just as he knows
why he is to be punished.

Something to do with Emelia Ricoletti?

I presume.

- We all have a past, Watson. Ghosts.
- Mmm.

They are the shadows that
define our every sunny day.

Sir Eustace knows he's a marked man.

There's something
more than murder he fears.

He believes he is to be dragged to hell

by the risen corpse
of the late Mrs Ricoletti.

That's a lot of nonsense, isn't it?

Oh, God, yes. Did you bring a revolver?

What good would that be against a ghost?

Exactly. Did you bring it?

- Yeah, of course.
- Then, come, Watson, come.

The game is afoot.

SHERLOCK: Get down, for heaven's sake.
JOHN: Sorry.

Cramp.

Is the lamp still burning?

Yes.

There goes Sir Eustace.

And Lady Carmichael.

The house sleeps.

Mmm, good God, this is
the longest night of my life.

Have patience, Watson.

Only midnight, though.

You know, it's rare for us
to sit together like this.

I should hope so.
It's murder on the knees.

(CH UCKLES)

Two old friends just talking,

chewing the fat,

man to man.

- She is a remarkable woman.
- Who?

Lady Carmichael.

The fair sex is your department, Watson.

I'll take your word for it.

Well, you liked her,
a woman of rare perception.

And admirably high arches.

I noticed them as soon as
she stepped into the room.

- She's far too good for him.
- You think so?

No, you think so, I could tell.

On the contrary,
I have no view on the matter.

Yes, you have.

Marriage is not a subject
upon which I dwell.

Oh, why not?

What's the matter with you this evening?

That watch that you're wearing,
there's a photograph inside it.

I glimpsed it once.
I believe it is of Irene Adler.

You didn't glimpse it.

You waited till I had
fallen asleep and looked at it.

Yes, I did.

You seriously thought I wouldn't notice?

Irene Adler.

Formidable opponent,
a remarkable adventure.

- A very nice photograph.
- Why are you talking like this?

Why are you so determined to be alone?

Are you quite well, Watson?

Is it such a curious question?

From a Viennese alienist, no.

From a retired army surgeon,
most certainly.

Holmes, against absolutely
no opposition whatsoever,

I am your closest friend.

I concede it.

I am currently attempting
to have a perfectly

normal conversation with you.

- Please don't.
- Why do you need to be alone?

If you are referring
to romantic entanglement, Watson,

which I rather fear you are,
as I have often explained before,

all emotion is abhorrent to me.

It is the grit
in a sensitive instrument.

- The crack in the lens.
- The crack in the lens. Yes.

Well, there you are.
You see, I've said it all before.

No, I wrote all that.

You're quoting yourself
from The Strand magazine.

- Well, exactly.
- Those are my words, not yours.

That is the version of you
that I present to the public.

The brain without a heart,

the calculating machine.

I write all of that, Holmes,

and the readers lap it up,
but I do not believe it.

Well, I have a good mind
to write to your editor.

You're a living, breathing man.
You've lived a life, you have a past.

- A what? Had what?
- Well, you must've had...

- You know.
- No.

Experiences.

Pass me your revolver,
I have a sudden need to use it.

Damn it, Holmes,
you are flesh and blood,

you have feelings, you have...

You must have...

Impulses.

(SOFTLY) Dear lord, I have
never been so impatient

to be attacked by a murderous ghost.

As your friend,
as someone who worries about you,

what made you like this?

Oh, Watson.

Nothing made me.

(CLATTERING)

I made me.

(DOG WHIMPERING)

Made me?

JOHN: Good God!

What are we to do?

Why don't we have a chat?

A...

Mrs Ricoletti, I believe. (PANTING)

Pleasant night for the time of year,
is it not?

It cannot be true, Holmes, it cannot.

SHERLOCK: No, it can't.

(MAN SCREAMS)

(GLASS SHATTERING)

- Is it locked?
- As per instruction.

That was a window breaking, wasn't it?

There's only one broken window
we need to concern ourselves with.

- Stay here, Watson.
- What? No.

All the doors and windows
to the house are locked.

This is the only way out,
I need you here.

But the sound was so close, it had to be
from this side of the house.

Stay here!

(WOMAN GASPING)

(SCREAMING) Stop!

No!

(SOBBING) You promised to keep him safe,
you promised.

You...

(CONTINUES SOBBING)

(FLOOR CREAKING)

(COCKS GUN)

You're human, I know that.

You must be.

Little use us standing here in the dark.

After all, this is the 19th century.

(WOMAN SCREAMING)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

WOMAN: (WHISPERING) Do not forget me.

Do not forget me.

-(SCREECH ES)
-(LAMP CLATTERS)

(PANTING)

She's there, she's down there.

Don't tell me you abandoned your post.

What? Holmes, she's there, I saw her.

- Empty, thanks to you.
-(CONTINUES PANTING)

- Our bird is flown.
- No!

No, Holmes, it wasn't what you think.
I saw her, the ghost.

There are no ghosts!

What happened? Where is Sir Eustace?

Dead.

LESTRADE: You really mustn't
blame yourself, you know?

(INHALES DEEPLY) No, you're quite right.

Glad you're seeing sense.

Watson is equally culpable.

Between us,
we've managed to botch this whole case.

I give an undertaking
to protect that man,

now he's lying there
with a dagger in his breast.

LESTRADE: In fact, you gave an
undertaking to investigate his murder.

In the confident expectation
I would not have to.

Anything you can tell us, Doctor?

Well, he's been stabbed with
considerable force.

LESTRADE: It's a man, then.

Possibly.

A very keen blade, so it could
conceivably have been a woman.

In theory, yes, but we know who it was,
I saw her.

- Watson.
- I saw the ghost with my own eyes.

You saw nothing.
You saw what you were supposed to see.

You said yourself,
I have no imagination.

SHERLOCK: Use your brains,
such as it is,

to eliminate the impossible,

which in this case is the ghost.

And observe what remains,

which in this case is a solution
so blindingly obvious,

even Lestrade could work it out.

- Thank you.
- Forget spectres from the other world.

There is only one suspect
with motive and opportunity.

They might as well have left a note.

They did leave a note.

And then there's the matter
of the other broken window.

What other broken window?

Precisely, there isn't one.

The only broken window in
this establishment is the one that

Watson and I entered through,
yet prior to that

we distinctly heard the sound...
What did you just say?

- Sorry?
- About a note, what did you just say?

- I said the murderer did leave a note.
- No, they didn't.

There's a message tied to the dagger,
you must have seen it.

- There's no message.
- Yes!

There was no message
when I found the body.

Holmes?

What is it?

MYCROFF: Do you?

Do I what?

How did you get that?
I left it at the crime scene.

Crime scene?

Where do you pick up these
extraordinary expressions?

Do you miss him?

- Moriarty is dead.
- And yet...

His body was never recovered.

To be expected when one pushes
a maths professor over a waterfall.

Pure reason toppled by sheer melodrama.

Your life in a nutshell.

Where do you pick up these
extraordinary expressions?

(SNIFFLES)

Have you put on weight?

You saw me only yesterday.
Does that seem possible?

- No.
- Yet here I am, increased.

What does that tell the foremost
criminal investigator in England?

- In England?
- You're in deep, Sherlock,

deeper than you ever intended to be.

- Have you made a list?
- Of what?

Everything.

We will need a list.

Good boy.

No, I haven't finished yet.

Moriarty may beg to differ.

(SHERLOCK SIGHS)

He's trying to distract me.

To derail me.

Yes, he's the crack in the lens,
the fly in the ointment.

The virus in the data.

I have to finish this.

If Moriarty has risen from
the Reichenbach Cauldron,

he will seek you out.

I'll be waiting.

(DOOR SHUTS)

Yes.

I'm very much afraid you will.

MRS HUDSON: (WHISPERS)
Two days he's been like that.

- Has he eaten?
- No, not a morsel.

Press are having a ruddy field day.
The steward boy is outside.

They've been there all the time,
I can't get rid of them.

I've been rushed off my feet making tea.

Why do you make 'em tea?

I don't know. I just sort of do.

LESTRADE:
He said there's only one suspect

and then he just walks away
and now he won't explain.

Which is strange,
because he likes that bit.

He said it's so simple,
I could solve it.

I'm sure he was exaggerating.

LESTRADE:
What is he doing, do you think?

- He says he is waiting.
- For what?

The devil.

I wouldn't be surprised.
We get all sorts here.

- Well, wire me if there is any change.
- Yeah.

(FLOOR CREAKING)

MORIARTY: Everything I have to say
has already crossed your mind.

And possibly my answer's crossed yours.

MORIARTY: Like a bullet.

It's a dangerous habit

to finger loaded firearms
in the pocket of one's dressing gown.

Or are you just pleased to see me?

(BONES CRACKING)

You'll forgive me for taking precaution.

I'd be offended if you didn't.

Obviously, I've returned the courtesy.

(COCKS GUN)

I like your rooms.

They smell so...

Manly.

I'm sure you've acquainted yourself
with them before now.

Well, you are always away on your
little adventures for The Strand.

Tell me,
does the illustrator travel with you?

Do you have to pose?

During your deductions?

I'm aware of all six occasions
you have visited these apartments

during my absence.

I know you are.

By the way,
you have a surprisingly comfortable bed.

Did you know that dust is
largely composed of human skin?

Yes.

Doesn't taste the same.
No, you want your skin fresh.

Just a little crispy.

Won't you sit down?

That's what people really are, you know?

Dust, waiting to be distributed.
And it gets everywhere, doesn't it?

Every breath you take, dancing,
and every sunbeam, all used up people.

Fascinating, I'm sure.

- Won't you sit...
-(VOCALISING)

Can't keep anything shiny.

Do you mind if I fire this?

Just to clean it out.

Exactly, let's stop playing,
we don't need toys to kill each other.

Where's the intimacy in that?

- Sit down.
- Why, what do you want?

- You chose to come here.
- Not true, you know that's not true.

What do you want, Sherlock?

The truth.

That.

Truth's boring.

You didn't expect me to turn up
at the scene of the crime, did you?

Poor old Sir Eustace.

He got what was coming to him.

But you couldn't have killed him.

Oh, so what?

Doesn't matter, stop it, stop this.

You don't care about Sir Eustace
or the bride or any of it.

There's only one thing
in this whole business

that you find interesting.

(SOFTLY) I know what you're doing.

(CLATTERING)

The bride put a gun in her mouth
and shot the back of her head off,

and then she came back.

Impossible,

but she did it.

And you need to know how. How?

DON'T you?

It's tearing your world apart,
not knowing.

You're trying to stop me.

To distract me, derail me...

Because doesn't this remind you
of another case?

Hasn't this all happened before?

There's nothing new under the sun.

What was it? What was it?
What was that case?

Huh? Do you remember?

It's on the tip of my tongue.
It's on the tip of my tongue.

It's on the tip of my tongue.

It's on the tip...

...of my tongue.

-(GLASS CLIN KS)
-(INHALES)

For the sake of Mrs Hudson's wallpaper,
I must remind you

that one false move with your finger
and you will be dead.

(MUFFLED) Dead is the new sexy.

(SIGHS) I'm sorry?

Dead...

Is the new sexy.

(RATTLING)

(CLEARS TH ROAT)

Well, I'll tell you what,
that rather blows the cobwebs away.

How can you be alive?

How do I look?

Huh?

Huh?

You can be honest. Is it noticeable?

You blew your own brains out,
how could you survive?

Maybe a good back comb.

I saw you die.

Why aren't you dead?

Because it's not the fall
that kills you, Sherlock.

Of all people, you should know that.
It's not the fall.

It's never the fall.

It's the landing.

(GLASS SHATTERS)

We've landed, sir.

We've landed.

(MUMBLING) Where are we now?

Hello.

I trust you had a pleasant flight, sir.

Well, a somewhat shorter exile
than we'd imagined, brother mine.

Hardly adequate,
given your levels of 0CD.

- I have to go back.
- What?

I was... I was nearly there,
I nearly had it.

What on Earth are you talking about?

Go back where? You didn't get very far.

Ricoletti and his abominable wife,
don't you understand?

No, of course we don't.
You're not making any sense, Sherlock.

It was a case, a famous one,
from 100 years ago.

Lodged in my hard drive.

She seemed to be dead,
but then she came back.

What, like Moriarty?

Shot herself in the head...
Exactly like Moriarty.

But you've only just been told,
we've only just found out.

He's on every TV screen in the country.

Yes, so?

It's been five minutes
since Mycroft called.

What progress have you made?
What have you been doing?

(CH UCKLES) More to the point,
what have you been doing?

- Been in my mind palace, of course.
- Of course.

Running an experiment.

How would I have solved the crime,
if I'd been there in 1895?

Oh, Sherlock.

SHERLOCK: I had all the details perfect.

I was there, all of it, everything.
I was immersed.

Of course, you were.

MARY: You've been reading John's blog?

The story of how you met.

Helps me if I see myself
through his eyes sometimes.

I'm so much cleverer.

You really think anyone's believing you?

No, he can do this, I've seen it.

The mind palace
is like a whole world in his head.

Yes and I need to get back there.

The mind palace is a memory technique.
I know what it can do.

And I know
what it most certainly cannot.

Maybe there are one or two things
that I know that you don't.

Oh, there are.

Did you make a list?

You put on weight.

That waistcoat's clearly newer
than the jacket...

Stop this, just stop it.
Did you make a list?

- Of what?
- Everything, Sherlock.

Everything you've taken.

No, it's not that,
he goes into a sort of trance.

I've seen him do it.

(GRUNTS)

We have an agreement, my brother and I,
ever since that day.

Wherever I find him,

whatever back alley or doss house,

there will always be a list.

He couldn't have taken all that
in the last five minutes.

He was high before he got on the plane.

Didn't seem high.

Nobody deceives like an addict.

I'm not an addict, I'm a user.

I alleviate boredom

and occasionally
heighten my thought processes.

For God's sake, this could kill you.
You could die.

Controlled usage is not usually fatal,
and abstinence is not immortality.

What are you doing?

Emelia Ricoletti, I'm looking her up.

Yeah, I suppose we should.

I have access to the top level
of the MI5 archives.

Yep, that's where I'm looking.

What do you think of MI5's security?

I think it would be a good idea.

Emelia Ricoletti, unsolved.
Like he says.

Can you alljust shut up
for five minutes? I have to go back.

I was nearly there before you stepped on
and started yapping away.

"Yapping"?
Sorry, did we interrupt your session?

(CLEARS THROAT) Sherlock, listen to me.

No, it only encourages you.

I'm not angry with you.

(SCOFFS) Oh, that's a relief.
I was really worried.

No, hold on. I really wasn't.

I was there for you before.

I'll be there for you again.

I'll always be there for you.

This was my fault.

It was nothing to do with you.

A week in a prison cell,
I should have realised.

Realised what?

That in your case, solitary confinement
is locking you up with your worst enemy.

Oh, for God's sake.

JOHN: Morphine or cocaine?

What did you say?

I didn't say anything.

No, you did, you said,

(IN JOHN'S VOICE) "Which is it today?
Morphine or cocaine?"

Holmes?

JOHN: Morphine or cocaine,
which is it today?

-(DOOR CLOSES)
-jOHN: Answer me, damn it.

Moriarty was here.

Moriarty's dead.

(YAWNS)

I was on a jet.

A what?

You were there, Mycroft.

You haven't left these rooms, Holmes.

You haven't moved.

Now, tell me. Morphine or cocaine?

(SIGHS)

Cocaine. A 7% solution.

- Would you care to try it?
- No.

But I would quite like to find

every ounce of this stuff
in your possession

and pour it out of the window.

I should be inclined to stop you.

Then you would be reminded,
quite forcibly,

which of us is a soldier
and which of us a drug addict.

You're not a soldier, you are a doctor.

I'm an army doctor, which means
I can break every bone in your body

while naming them.

My dear Watson,

you are allowing emotion
to cloud yourjudgement.

Never on a case.

You promised me never on a case.

No, I just said that
in one of your stories.

Listen.

I'm happy to play the fool for you.

I will run along behind you
like some halfwit,

making you look clever,
if that's what you need.

But dear God above!

You will hold yourself
to a higher standard.

- Why?
- Because people need you to.

What people, why?
Because of your idiot stories?

Yes, because of my idiot stories.

- BILLY: Mr Holmes.
-(DOOR RATTLES)

Mr Holmes. Telegram, Mr Holmes.

What is it? What's wrong?

- It's Mary.
- Mary? What about her?

- It's entirely possible she's in danger.
- Danger?

There's not a moment to lose.

Is this the cocaine talking?

What danger could Mary be in? I'm sure
she's just visiting with friends.

Come on!

What is happening?

Are you even in a fit state?

For Mary, of course.
Never doubt that, Watson.

(SIGHS) Never that.

-(GROANS)
- Holmes.

I'm fine. I'm fine!

Not that one.

This one.

Why?

You're Sherlock Holmes,
wear the damn hat.

Cab! Cab!

So, tell me, where is she?

You must tell me. What's going on?

Oh, good old Watson.

How would we fill the time
if you didn't ask questions?

Sherlock, tell me
where my bloody wife is,

you pompous prick,
or I'll punch your lights out.

Holmes, where is she?

A de-sanctified church.

She thinks she's found the solution.
For no better reason than that,

she's put herself
in the path of considerable danger.

Excellent choice of wife.

What the devil?

I found them.

What is all this, Mary?

This is the heart of it all, john.
The heart of the conspiracy.

(CHANTING IN DISTANCE)

Great God. What is this place?

And what the devil are you doing here?

I've been making inquiries.

Mr Holmes asked me.

Holmes, how could you?

No, not him, the clever one.

It seemed obvious to me that this
business could not be managed alone.

My theory
is that Mrs Ricoletti had help,

help from her friends.

Bravo, Mary. "The clever one"?

I... I thought I was losing you.

I thought perhaps we were...

Neglecting each other.

Well, you're the one who moved out.

I was talking to Mary.

You're working for Mycroft?

He likes to keep an eye
on his mad sibling.

You had a spy at hand.

Has it never occurred to you

your wife is excessively skilled
for a nurse?

Of course, it hasn't.

Because he knows
what a nurse is capable of.

When did it occur to you?

Only now, I'm afraid.

Must be difficult.

Being the slow little brother.

Yeah, it must be.
Enough chatter, let's concentrate.

MARY: Yes, all right.

What's all this about?
What do they want to accomplish?

Why don't we go and find out?

(CHANTING CONTINUES)

Sorry, I could never resist the gong.
Or a touch of the dramatic.

Never have guessed.

It seems you share my enthusiasm
in that regard.

Excellent.

Superlative theatre.

I applaud the spectacle.

Emelia Ricoletti shot herself,

then apparently returned from the grave
and killed her husband.

So...

How was it done?

Let's take the events in order.

Mrs Ricoletti gets everyone's attention
in very efficient fashion.

You!

MAN: No.

You...

Or me?

SHERLOCK". She places one
of the revolvers in her mouth,

while actually
firing the other into the ground.

An accomplice sprays the curtains
with blood,

and thus her apparent suicide
is witnessed

by the frightened crowd below.

A substitute corpse,

bearing a strong resemblance
to Mrs Rico I e til}

takes her place
and is later transported to the morgue.

A grubby little suicide
of little interest to Scotland Yard.

Meanwhile,
the real Mrs Ricoletti slips away.

Now comes the really clever part.

Mrs Ricoletti persuaded a cab driver,
someone who knew her,

to intercept her husband
outside his favourite opium den.

Perfect stage for a perfect drama.

Who are you? What do you want?

Emelia?

SHERLOCK:
A perfect positive identification.

The late Mrs Ricoletti
has returned from the grave,

and a little skilled makeup,

and you have nothing less
than the wrath of a vengeful ghost.

There was only one thing left to do.

Swiftly, now. No tears.

(GUNSHOT)

All that remained was to substitute
the real Mrs Ricoletti

for the corpse in the morgue.

This time,
should anyone attempt to identify her,

it would be positively, absolutely her.

MARY: But why would she do that?

Die to prove a point?

Every great cause has martyrs.

Every war has suicide missions,
and make no mistake, this is war.

One half of the human race
at war with the other.

The invisible army
hovering at our elbows.

Tending to our homes.

Raising our children.

Ignored. Patronised.

Disregarded.

Not allowed so much as a vote.

An army nonetheless,
ready to rise up for the best of causes.

To put right
an injustice as old as humanity itself.

So, you see, Watson, Mycroft was right.

This is a war we must lose.

JOHN: She was dying.

- Who was?
- Emelia Ricoletti.

There were clear signs of consumption.

I doubt she was long for this world.

So, she decided to make her death count.

She was already familiar
with the secret societies of America.

Was able to draw on their methods
of fear and intimidation

to publicly, very publicly,
confront Sir Eustace Carmichael

with the sins of his past.

MOLLY: He knew her out in the States.

Promised her everything.

Marriage, position.

And then he had his way with her.

And threw her over.

Left her abandoned and penniless.

Hooper.

Holmes.

For the record, Holmes,

she didn't have me fooled.

Why do you never mention me, sir?

Emelia thought that
she found happiness with Ricoletti.

But...

He was a brute, too.

Emelia Ricoletti was our friend.

You have no idea
how that bastard treated her.

But the bride, Holmes, we saw her.

Yes, Watson, we did.

The sound of breaking glass.

Not a window.

Just an old theatrical trick.

It cannot be true, Holmes.

- It cannot.
- No, it can't.

It's called Pepper's Ghost.

A simple reflection in glass

of a living, breathing person.

Their only mistake

was breaking the glass
when they removed it.

Look around you.

This room is full of brides.

Once she had risen,

anyone could be her.

The avenging ghost.

A legend to strike terror

into the heart of any man
with malicious intent.

A spectre to stalk
those unpunished brutes

whose reckoning is long overdue.

A league of fury is awakened.

The women I...

We have lied to.

Betrayed.

The women we have ignored.

And disparaged.

Once the idea exists,

it cannot be killed.

This is the work
of a single-minded person.

Someone who knew firsthand
about Sir Eustace's mental cruelty.

The dark secret.

Kept from all but her closest friends,
including Emelia Ricoletti.

The woman her husband wronged
all those years before.

If one disregards the ghost,

there is only one suspect.

Isn't that right, Lady Carmichael?

One small detail doesn't quite
make sense to me, however.

WW engage me

to prevent a murder

you intended to commit?

Hmm?

(CHUCKLING) It doesn't quite make sense.
It doesn't quite make sense.

Of course it doesn't make sense,
it's not real.

(SNORTS)

Oh, Sherlock.

-(GASPS)
- Peek-a-boo.

No.

No. Not you.

It can't be you.

I mean, come on, be serious.

The costumes, the gun.

Speaking as a criminal mastermind,
we don't really have guns

or special outfits.

JOHN: What the hell is going on?

Is it silly enough for you yet?

Gothic enough, mad enough, even for you?

It doesn't make sense, Sherlock.

(SOFTLY) Because it's not real.

None of it.

JOHN: What's he talking about?

This is all in your mind.

JOHN: Sherlock.

Holmes.

You're dreaming.

(EXHALES)

Is he dreaming?

MYCROFF: And there he is.

Thought we'd lost you for a moment.

May I just check, is this what you mean
by controlled usage?

Mrs Emelia Ricoletti,
I need to know where she was buried.

What? 120 years ago?

Yes.

That would take weeks to find,
if those records even exist.

- Even with my resources.
- Got it.

I don't get it. How is this relevant?

SHERLOCK: I need to know I was right,
then I'll be sure.

- You mean how Moriarty did it?
- Yes.

JOHN: But none of that really happened,
it was in your head.

SHERLOCK:
My investigation was the fantasy.

The crime happened
exactly as I explained.

MARY: Stone's erected
by a group of her friends.

MYCROFF: Now, what do you think
you'll find here?

I need to try.

Mrs Ricoletti was buried here,
but what happened to the other one?

The corpse they substituted for her
after the so-called suicide.

- They'd move it, of course they would.
- But where.

JOHN: Well, not here.

But that...
That's exactly what they must have done.

The conspirators had
someone on the inside.

They found a bodyjust like

Molly Hooper found a body for me when...

Yeah, but we don't need to go
into all that again, do we?

You're not seriously gonna do this?

It's why we came here.

I need to know.

Spoken like an addict.

This is important to me.

- No, this is you needing a fix.
john.

Moriarty's back, we have case.

We have real life problem, right now.

Getting to that, it's next on the list.
just let me do this.

No, everyone always lets you do
whatever you want.

- That's how you got in this state.
-john, please.

I'm not playing this time, Sherlock.
Not any more.

When you're ready to go to work,
give me a call.

- I'm taking Mary home.
- You're what?

- Mary is taking me home.
- Better.

- He's right, you know?
- So what if he's right?

He's always right, it's boring.

Will you help me?

Cherchez la femme.

(GRUNTS)

Oh, dear.

The cupboard is bare.

They must have buried it underneath.

They must have buried it
underneath the coffin.

(GRUNTING)

LESTRADE: Bad luck, Sherlock.

Maybe they got rid of the body
in another way.

MYCROFF: Not more than likely.

At any rate,
it was a very long time ago.

We do have slightly more pressing
matters at hand, little brother.

Moriarty?

Back from the dead?

WOMAN: (WHISPERING) Do not forget me.

Do not forget me.

(GASPS)

Oh, I see.

Still not awake, am I?

(SIGHS)

Too deep, Sherlock. Way too deep.

Congratulations,
you'll be the first man in history

to be buried in his own mind palace.

The setting's a shade melodramatic,
don't you think?

For you and me?

Not at all.

SHERLOCK: What are you?

You know what I am.

I'm Moriarty.

The Napoleon of crime.

Moriarty is dead.

Not in your mind.

I'll never be dead there.

You once called your brain a hard drive.

Well, say hello to the virus.

This is how we end, you and I.

Always here.

Always together.

You have a magnificent brain, Moriarty.

I admire it.

I concede it may be even be
the equal of my own.

I'm touched.

I'm honoured.

But when it comes to the matter
of unarmed combat

on the edge of a precipice,

you're going in the water.

Short-arse.

(BOTH GRUNTING)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Oh, you think you're so big
and strong, Sherlock?

Not with me.

- I am your weakness.
-(GRUNTS)

I keep you down.

Every time you stumble,

every time you fail,

when you're weak,

I am there.

No.

Don't try to fight it.

Lie back and lose!

(GRUNTING)

Shall we go over together?

It has to be together, doesn't it?

At the end,

it's alwaysjust you and me.

(jOH N CLEARING TH ROAT)

(COCKS GUN)

Professor, if you wouldn't mind
stepping away from my friend,

I do believe he finds your attention
a shade annoying.

That's not fair, there's two of you.

There's always two of us.

Don't you read The Strand?

On your knees, Professor.

Hands behind your head.

Thank you, john.

Since when do you call mejohn?

You'd be surprised.

No, I wouldn't.

Time you woke up, Sherlock.

I'm a storyteller,
I know when I'm in one.

'Course.

Of course, you do, john.

So, what's he like?

The other me,

in the other place.

Smarter than he looks.

Pretty damn smart then.

Pretty damn smart.

Oh, why don't you two
just elope, for God's sake?

Impertinent.

Offensive.

Actually,

would you mind?

Not at all.

-(GRUNTS)
-(SCREAMS)

- It was my turn.
- Quite so.

So, how do you plan to wake up?

Ooh...

I should think like this.

You sure?

Between you and me, john,
I always survive the fall.

But how?

Elementary, my dear Watson.

(GASPS)

(EXHALES)

- Miss me?
- Sherlock, you all right?

Yes, of course I am. Why wouldn't I be?

'Cause you probably just OD'd.
You should be in hospital.

No time.

I have to go to Baker Street now.

Moriarty is back.

I almost hope he is,

if it'll save you from this.

No need for that now.

I've got the real thing.

I have work to do.

Sherlock,

promise me?

What are you still doing here?

Shouldn't you be off getting me
a pardon or something?

Like a proper big brother.

Dr Watson.

Look after him.

Please.

JOHN: Sherlock, hang on. Explain.

Moriarty is alive, then?

I never said he was alive,
I said he was back.

So, he's dead?

'Course he's dead.
He blew his own brains out.

No one survives that.

I just went to the trouble
of an overdose to prove it.

Moriarty is dead.

No question.

More im porta ntly,

I know exactly
what he is going to do next.

Flying machines,
these, uh, telephone contraptions,

what sort of lunatic fantasy is that?

It was simply my conjecture of
what a future world might look like

and how you and I might fit inside it.

From a drop of water,
a logician should be able to infer

the possibility of
an Atlantic or Niagara.

Or a Reichenbach.

Have you written up
your account of the case?

- Yes.
- Hmm.

Modified to put it down
as one of my rare failures, of course?

Of course.

"The Adventure of..."

"The Invisible Army"?

"The League of Furies"?

"The Monstrous Regiment"?

I rather thought...

The Abominable Bride.

- Trifle lurid.
- It'll sell.

It's got proper murders in it, too.

You are the expert.

As for your own...

Tale.

Are you sure, it's stilljust
a 7% solution that you take?

I think you may have
increased the dosage.

Perhaps I was being a little fanciful.

But perhaps
such things could come to pass.

In any case, I know I would be
very much at home in such a world.

(SCOFFS) Don't think I would be.

I beg to differ.

But then I've always known
I was a man out of his time.

(HORN HONKING)
