00:00I don't suppose you have any horseradish?
00:07How are you alive?
00:10Trickery.
00:12Some sleight of hand.
00:14A dash of skullduggery.
00:16Do you have an overnight guest, my friend?
00:19Is that why we're whispering?
00:21Trickery?
00:22On me?
00:23On everyone.
00:25Not an easy decision, but I do believe it had to be taken.
00:28Why?
00:29I'm closer to the end now than I am to the beginning.
00:33And if I'm to spend my remaining energy in the way that I intend,
00:37I have to clear the stage.
00:40How else can one spring a third act surprise?
00:47Would you like to hit me, Watson?
00:49A single blow, perhaps, from that misshapen cricket bat?
00:52I could hardly blame you.
00:54And I won't resist.
00:59You're alive.
01:07We're here.
01:08And you're alive.
01:10In clement weather.
01:12The company of a friend.
01:14Sandwich meats of unknown origin.
01:17I'd say it's an evening to remind one of Baker Street.
01:20All we need is a cracking mystery, Marolf.
01:22Oh, a mystery.
01:23Yes, yes, a mystery.
01:24Maybe kind of like how you survived the water form.
01:29You look well, Watson.
01:31The arrogance of the world slides off you as ever.
01:34Sounds like a compliment.
01:36I assume you are tracking the state of things.
01:38The deafening boorishness.
01:39Revolting displays of excess.
01:41Why won't you tell me where you've been?
01:45It's rather an immense topic.
01:48I was hoping we could start small.
01:52The whole of a person can be read from a single strand of DNA, yes?
01:56Why can't a conversation work the same way?
01:59Maybe because you've been gone for more than a year.
02:03Or because I left my life behind to help you.
02:06Or how about the fact that you abandoned me to deal with Moriarty on my own?
02:12I'm nervous, John.
02:15I'm afraid I may have ruined things with my best friend.
02:18I don't have any right to ask you for a break.
02:22But I am nervous.
02:24And I was hoping to start small.
02:28Okay.
02:29All right. Let's start small.
02:34How was your day?
02:37How was my day?
02:39That's a dumbass question.
02:41How was my day?
02:42Not my finest word, Drew.
02:43No, it's not.
02:44All right.
02:45How was my day?
02:46My day was...
02:49Stay with me, buddy.
02:51Stay with me.
02:52It's busy.
02:54Oh, you want to know the whole story?
02:56You tell me, do I?
02:57Well, there was an expedition to Siberia.
03:01There's a baby woolly mammoth.
03:03And people say the word zombie way too much, by the way.
03:07But it all starts...
03:09Psychiatrist.
03:10Dr. Ferry.
03:11John Watson.
03:12I'm a clinical geneticist and internist with the home clinic here at UHOC.
03:13We're practically neighbors.
03:14I know your work.
03:15Very impressive.
03:16Well, allow me to return a compliment.
03:17I just finished your book.
03:18Fascinating.
03:19I hope so.
03:20Quite a few years of research went into that doorstop.
03:21Well, egosyntonic personality disorder is notoriously difficult to treat.
03:25You are one of the few practitioners who claims to see their patients making improvements.
03:29And I don't know, I guess I'm just curious.
03:32Do you really believe people with these conditions can change?
03:46Is this a professional curiosity or do you have someone particular in mind?
03:52I wouldn't ask you to violate confidentiality.
03:55What are you asking, Dr. Watson?
03:57Seems a fair question.
03:58What were you asking?
03:59asking. Dr. Ferry is treating a colleague of mine. Well, it's a former colleague, a neurologist.
04:06Can't find anybody to replace her, but I can't hire her back either. Associopath. In therapy.
04:11Well, that's an imprecise term. Associopath. It doesn't matter. The point is the call I got.
04:19Thanks for coming so fast. The patient's name is Amelia Woodward. You said she had symptoms
04:24similar to the flu. Not something I'd normally worry about, but then I spoke to her.
04:36This is a list of everyone I have interacted with in the past few days. You should start
04:40contact tracing immediately. We have the flu. This file is important. It pertains to my brother,
04:46James Woodward. He is in a long-term care facility in Highland Park. I'm the last close family he
04:52has left. I need you to get his information to my cousins in Campbell, Ohio. Someone has to take
04:57care of him when I'm gone. Ms. Woodward, slow down. You have the flu. It is Dr. Woodward. I am a professor
05:02of infectious diseases and microbiology at Pitt. I'm not sure that you have dealt with anything like
05:07what I have brought to your door. Okay. Tell me. I have spent my life studying the Arctic permafrost.
05:17It's melting. We're losing more of it every year. I'm aware. In my line of work, Dr. Watson,
05:22we worry about what is down there. Pathogens. Frozen for thousands of years. Released into the air
05:29when the ice thaws. Exotic viruses. Strangers to our immune system that could rip through
05:34an entire population. There's a term for it. I'm familiar with it, yes. I got back from Siberia
05:39two days ago. My team and I, we came into close contact with the remains of six recently thawed
05:46woolly mammoths. How do you think they died, Dr. Watson?
05:51The zombie virus. Frozen for millennia. That's another imprecise term. You're better than that.
05:58It seems up to me. Why the fear of vivid language? The case of the zombie virus. I'm in.
06:07Zombie virus. That's an imprecise term. You're better than that.
06:11Um, resurrected virus. Hiberding virus.
06:14Call it whatever. We really think this is some ancient pathogen back from the dead?
06:18We have to consider it. Over the past decade, both anthrax and smallpox have been found in Siberian
06:23permafrost. How do we treat something that human beings haven't encountered in 50,000 years?
06:26Yes. Whatever it is, it's an infectious disease. So we follow the protocols and
06:30listen to our expert. Now, the good news is Amelia Woodward keeps detailed records.
06:36Her interactions are limited to colleagues. The bad news is all of them now could be vectors of
06:40contagion. For what it's worth, Gov, the rumor mill is in full swing. Those nurses, they do love a chat.
06:47The word pandemic has been banded about. Shinwell Johnson in the company of doctors. Who would believe it?
06:56You've done well there, Watson. The rest, worthy of the name and the door.
07:02Well, in one way or another, they each remind me of you.
07:05I ordered a full infectious workup. CBC, blood cultures, and a respiratory viral panel.
07:10Also started empiric antibiotics.
07:12Steven's Croft. He flaunts his intellect, still learning to be a team player.
07:16His twin brother, Adam, just kind of glides through the world, learning to pick the harder
07:20path.
07:21So I have to stay here contact tracing while you guys get to go see a baby woolly mammoth?
07:25This is not fun.
07:26It's work.
07:27Oh, whatever. You get to go to Jurassic Park. I'm stuck here like Cinderella.
07:31Oh, does that make me the bell of the ball or evil stepsister?
07:35Sasha Lubbock. Failure sworn enemy. She wasn't so nice. I could see her being a dictator.
07:41Send pictures of the Pachyderm.
07:42How are we on those interviews with Amelia's co-workers?
07:45I just got an email from one guy, Rob Mallory. Says he's symptom-free.
07:49We need to talk to all of them.
07:51Nate Hermanson, Freeba Amadi, Tunde Sipiwe.
07:54Perfect. Hello?
07:59Adam, hold off.
08:01I know where they are.
08:06This will help, Mr. Hermanson.
08:09How long have you been feeling like this, Ms. Amadi?
08:12Mr. Sipiwe?
08:21Have you got a tenner, by chance?
08:25It's just I'm a bit skid.
08:26You want money?
08:27Only till Tuesday.
08:29You see, I'm dead, my friend.
08:31Can't be using a bank card.
08:33Are you funding my clinic?
08:35You're rich.
08:36I was rich. Gave it all away.
08:38I never told you about my money. Sorry.
08:42It's actually quite embarrassing, having means.
08:44A certain formula emerged from my dabblings in the lab.
08:48I made the mistake of sharing it with my brother.
08:51Mycroft created a company, etc., etc.
08:53So you co-founded a publicly traded corporation?
08:57I'm going to rub my face in the box and I'm sheepish enough as it is.
09:01So this zombie virus, should you have taken it a bit more seriously?
09:06I took the virus seriously. I didn't take the term seriously.
09:10Amelia's labs are back. All normal.
09:13So we can cross off influenza.
09:14Okay, so as of now, we don't know what we're facing, how contagious it is, or how deadly.
09:20Correct.
09:23Do you think we need to lock down?
09:25Well, I recommend enhanced isolation precaution for now.
09:29Meanwhile, I sent Stevens and Sasha to examine this woolly mammoth specimen.
09:33I've been reading Dr. Woolworth's book.
09:36She predicted this exact scenario.
09:38I don't want to tell you how bad she thinks it'll go from here.
09:41Mary Malston, if I'm being honest, Watson,
09:44I'd hope you two would have found your way back to each other by now.
09:47Yeah, I know that.
09:48And why else would you?
09:49Set up the clinic in the hospital she runs.
09:52We're divorced.
09:57The woman in my bedroom is Dr. Layla Pynum.
10:01And you're alright, my friend.
10:05Where would I be?
10:07Because she's Mary.
10:10And you're Watson.
10:17Apologies for starting small.
10:19Nah.
10:21I believe I was promised a woolly mammoth?
10:24Oh, here it is.
10:26The Motherlode.
10:27Siberian Expedition.
10:29August to October, 2025.
10:32Oh.
10:35Is everything okay?
10:39Just, uh, I made a silly mistake.
10:43Silly how?
10:44A month ago, I got an email from a man claiming to have tracked me down by some sort of adoption records program.
10:54Said he was my birth uncle.
10:55I have known I've been adopted my whole life.
10:58Made peace with it when I was in grade school.
10:59But then I saw how happy Dr. Morstan was when she met her brother.
11:04And I thought to myself, what if I have people out there?
11:08You know, nieces and nephews.
11:09A whole family I never knew.
11:12A part of me I forgot I was missing.
11:14So you wrote him back?
11:15I sent him one tiny email with my info.
11:18And then he overwhelmed me with replies and texts and calls.
11:21It was just too much.
11:22So, like I said, silly mistake.
11:25But you didn't block him.
11:27It's clearly something you want to investigate.
11:29I'm glad you did.
11:32I'm glad you told me.
11:33Yeah, actually, I'd rather just forget about it.
11:38What do you say we go take a look at the main attraction?
11:44That right there is a baby woolly mammoth.
11:4848,000 years old.
11:50Everything that happened between then and now, this little gal was on her inevitable journey to this moment.
11:54All things considered, she weathered the road pretty well.
11:57It's a miracle.
12:01What do you think of that?
12:03You can barely make it out.
12:05Looks like scabs.
12:07Maybe tissue damage, part of the thawing process?
12:10Or pustules indicative of disease.
12:13Smallpox.
12:14Get some samples.
12:17Since here, she was found with five adults all in one location.
12:21Implies a pack traveling together.
12:23Probably died suddenly, maybe predators.
12:27Rapid onset of viral infection.
12:30Mammoth promised.
12:31Mammoth delivered.
12:32Did you get a chance to examine the creature personally?
12:36Nope.
12:36Things got a little busy on my end.
12:39It was a ten-week expedition.
12:43We followed every protocol.
12:44Safety first, all the way.
12:45And no one displayed any symptoms?
12:47I'm not a doctor.
12:49I build drilling equipment.
12:51To me, everyone seemed great.
12:52Right now, Professor Woodward and the rest of our team are experiencing fever, fatigue, loss of appetite.
12:57Are you having any of these symptoms?
12:59I'm fine.
13:00Mr. Mallory, so far the virus doesn't appear to be spreading, but that could change very quickly.
13:05I need to know...
13:06You know what?
13:07That I got the flu on our flight home?
13:09Let's not be over-dramatic.
13:15Excuse me.
13:20Ingrid.
13:21Dr. Watson.
13:23Good to see you.
13:24Same.
13:24I like the, um...
13:28The, uh...
13:29Did you go see my psychiatrist?
13:31I did.
13:32Kind of weird, don't you think?
13:34Well, I see how you could think that, but I wasn't there because it was your psychiatrist.
13:40I was...
13:40I was there because he's the author of a book that I'm interested in.
13:45And the topic of said book is...
13:48People like you.
13:55He's got into cardiac arrest, starting compressions.
13:57I'll give you a crash, Cardi.
14:03Well, stay with me, buddy.
14:04Stay with me.
14:07We did everything we could but the virus.
14:10We did this heart attack.
14:12Pulse check.
14:14Restarting compressions?
14:16Prepare another dose of epinephrine.
14:17Watson.
14:18Give me another dose of epi.
14:19John!
14:19We did five rounds of epi already.
14:22He's gone.
14:28Yeah.
14:31Yeah.
14:35Yeah.
14:38And whatever virus triggered his heart attack...
14:40We just exposed ourselves.
14:43Well?
14:50A newly unfrozen virus on the loose.
14:53You and your nemesis stand exposed.
14:54You can't stop now.
14:55She's not my nemesis.
14:57She's my neurologist.
14:58She has the qualities of a nemesis.
14:59No, no, no.
14:59I'm done with the story time for now.
15:02We started small.
15:02Now I think I like to know how you survived the waterfall.
15:05If in fact you went over...
15:06That's just cruel.
15:08You got me on your hook and you deny me my climax.
15:11That sounds weird.
15:12But yes.
15:13Yes, I deny you your climax.
15:14I did plunge over the falls, my friend.
15:16As for the rest, I promise you'll know everything by first life.
15:19Now please, grant me release.
15:22I'm going to finish telling my story, but only to keep you from talking like that.
15:30So our immediate issue was exposure.
15:34So now I had a new problem.
15:36That was brave.
15:38Jumping in like that.
15:39That was very brave.
15:40I didn't know the guy had zombie virus.
15:43That's an imprecise term.
15:43I know it's an imprecise term.
15:46Don't correct me.
15:48I had to do it again.
15:50Who knows what happens?
15:52I was glad to hear that you're seeing Dr. Ferry.
15:54How did you hear that exactly?
15:55I figured out what floor you were visiting.
15:58I did a little math.
15:59So I've been on your mind.
16:01Is that why you can't replace me?
16:07John, how are you both feeling?
16:09So far, we don't have any symptoms.
16:12Good.
16:12Do you know anything about a lead to the press that this outbreak is getting worse?
16:16No.
16:17I've been fielding nonstop calls, media from all over the country.
16:20The mayor contacted me in a panic.
16:22He's advising us to lock down the hospital.
16:25I told him we're not there yet.
16:26We just need more time.
16:28These viral test results don't make any sense.
16:30RSV is negative.
16:31That's what the test does.
16:33It shows you're positive or negative.
16:34A resident asked me if we were going to lock down the hospital.
16:37Maybe we should.
16:37That would impact the treatment of every patient here.
16:39Incoming emergencies would be rerouted.
16:43Life-saving measures delayed.
16:44People could die.
16:46You don't need anything.
16:47Aside from caffeine, from which you should all consider yourself.
16:50Cut off?
16:51We're all just a little wired.
16:53It feels like we're in over our heads.
16:55We just need to focus.
16:56Cross off every possible alternative.
16:58It's scary and tedious, I know.
17:00And it doesn't help that Watson's confined to a nice old room.
17:02Stuck in there with Ingrid.
17:04What are they even talking about?
17:06It's fine.
17:07I'm sure they're fine.
17:09Right?
17:12Hello?
17:13Before you ask, Ingrid and I are fine.
17:15Great.
17:15That's awesome.
17:16That being said, we have to assume that the clock is ticking.
17:20If we're going to get sick, I would love to get a sense that we know what we're up against.
17:23What's our progress?
17:24We know what it's not.
17:26Negative viral panels for the four surviving patients.
17:28And yet, Rob Mallory was under so much duress his heart arrested.
17:32The media's not helping either.
17:33There are reporters out in the parking lot stopping you up to staff and asking questions.
17:37People out here on the verge of panic.
17:39Could be worse.
17:40You could, I don't know, be exposed and trapped in a room with a guy who fired you.
17:44Our patients need a breakthrough and so do our colleagues.
17:47Who's got some ideas?
17:48Lab work on the baby mammoth was inconclusive.
17:51As for our patients' labs, I could put a call in to micro and see what comes up on the phone.
17:54No other hospital's reporting mystery flu.
17:57If it's not spreading, maybe it's not viral.
17:58Could be exposure to some foreign substance.
18:01I can keep fishing around to see if we missed anything.
18:03Great, but tread carefully.
18:05I don't want some over-eager reporter in the sense that we are grasping for straws.
18:09I'm due for supervised rounds.
18:11I can go in, casual, ask whatever you need me to.
18:15Great.
18:17Any other ideas?
18:18What?
18:19I don't work for you, remember?
18:24So how are we feeling tonight?
18:27Still stunned.
18:29I've known Mallory for years.
18:31We work together.
18:32Often.
18:33I keep thinking about my twins.
18:37When they were born, I stopped taking trips.
18:40Which makes it hard when your focus is glaciology.
18:45I can't sleep.
18:46Which is kind of my default setting.
18:49Might try some New Orleans jazz.
18:51That'll taste the home.
18:52Oh.
18:53Do you want me to go for the doctor?
18:59Could you just, would you just sit with me for a few minutes?
19:03Of course I will.
19:04I can't believe he's gone.
19:06And I'm scared.
19:09I'm next.
19:10My husband, he goes away all the time, nonstop.
19:16I got so jealous.
19:18I bought Amelia.
19:19Is she okay?
19:21After what happened to Mr. Mallory?
19:23She's holding up.
19:24Yes, she can.
19:25Can I tell you something?
19:27I did it for the money.
19:30My book.
19:32I mean, yes, the permafrost is my life's work, but I wrote the book so I could make money.
19:42I'm a caregiver.
19:43The cost for my brother, it comes every month.
19:52It's going to come every month, whether I'm dead or alive.
19:56And if there's no one to pay it, then that's it for Jimmy.
20:03No one's going to keep him alive just because it's the right thing to do.
20:07That's an awful burden.
20:08I wrote the book so I could make a pile of money big enough for anything.
20:15Then I went back to Siberia, and I just kept digging.
20:23Now it's going to kill us.
20:25Another one.
20:34It's just too much.
20:37Maybe just tell him that.
20:39Start a dialogue?
20:41It just seems so daunting.
20:43Well, yeah.
20:44Sure.
20:46Believe me, I'm exhausted from dealing with the one sibling I'm 99% sure is legit.
20:52My best job reminds you that life is short.
20:57Connecting with people is intimidating.
21:01But it's worth it.
21:15Hey, lovebirds.
21:17Found something.
21:18We went over the field journal.
21:19Twice.
21:19Most of it's barely legible.
21:21I can read it fine.
21:22And yes, there's a lot here from temperature data to glacial measurements, but look at this.
21:27It's a meal log.
21:30Oh, wow.
21:31Talk about Vassidius.
21:32There are dates, recipes, and initials for who handled prep.
21:36Check out the last entry.
21:38On the final night of the expedition, they celebrated with a meat and veggie stew.
21:43Onions, carrots, bell peppers.
21:44The exact meal isn't as vital as the fact that it was a communal dish.
21:48And it was paired with, of all things.
21:50Soda bread.
21:51Yeah, it's an interesting choice, right?
21:52So upon a hunch, I checked out the list of cooking supplies.
21:55Along with everything else, they brought a 50-pound bag of baking soda.
22:00How much baking soda?
22:02Of course.
22:04Thanks.
22:05What is it?
22:06It's the breakthrough that I needed.
22:07And if I'm right, you won't be here much longer.
22:11I won't be here.
22:11Where are you going?
22:14Mary.
22:16What are you doing on isolation?
22:17This isn't a virus.
22:19That expedition team was infected by a foodborne pathogen.
22:21How can you be so sure?
22:23If my theory is right, this whole situation, the illness, the media frenzy, all of it, was just an elaborate ruse.
22:29That team was poisoned.
22:31Poisoned?
22:32Wow, wow.
22:34That would make Mr. Mallory's death a premeditated murder.
22:37Exactly.
22:39My dear Watson, you've only gone and dipped your spoon into my favorite porridge.
22:47We won't need these candles much longer.
22:50I imagine you'll wrap this up by dawn.
22:51Oh, no, no, no, no, my friend.
22:53I wasn't the one who promised to tell my story before sunrise.
22:56True.
22:57But what's the saying?
22:58You show me yours, I'll show you mine.
23:00Okay, you're doing the weird thing again.
23:02I thought I'd hear a theory by now.
23:04I mean, are you or aren't you the world's greatest detective?
23:07I am that.
23:08A bit soggy from the falls, maybe a bit broke, but very much intact.
23:12I mean, when you lay it all out, it is a bit obvious.
23:17Start with the media.
23:18Professor Woodward and a team return from Siberia.
23:21Two days later, they're sick.
23:23Immediately, the national press grab onto the story.
23:26Now, how can that be?
23:28The idea of a zombie virus hadn't even left the hospital.
23:31Yeah, that's easy.
23:31I mean, so they knew it was coming.
23:33Someone leaked the story to the media.
23:34Next clue.
23:36The disease struck no one outside the expedition.
23:39Basic epidemiology.
23:40Infected carriers spread the virus.
23:42Those newly infected spread it further still.
23:44So why was there no spread beyond the original group?
23:47Did anything else catch your attention?
23:50You didn't seriously think I'd miss the soda bread, did you?
23:54Okay, okay.
23:55Soda bread.
23:56Prime ingredient, baking soda.
23:58It serves to neutralize stomach acid, which is why I suspect your killer used it as cover.
24:03The tainted meal was laced with baking soda, leaving every member of the expedition more susceptible to contamination.
24:08How am I doing?
24:11Well, I've heard a lot of quality deductions, but I have yet to hear a diagnosis.
24:15A diagnosis?
24:17Well, you're academic stone of a zombie virus, Watson.
24:21They were infected, but most likely by...
24:25Typhoid fever.
24:26Based on what you've said, it's the only thing that makes sense.
24:29Tell me why.
24:30Typhoid's a food-borne bacterial infection, notoriously slow to show up on blood cultures.
24:34If your theory's right, whoever did this must have bioengineered an antibiotic-resistant strain.
24:39To sidestep any medicine we might use as treatment, thus lengthening the ruse.
24:43So it seems all the more spooky and mysterious.
24:46Choose zombie virus.
24:49I understand you might want to wait until typhoid shows up in the blood cultures,
24:52at which point you will know with absolute certainty it's safe to go home.
24:58Home?
25:00You really think you can finish this without me?
25:02Of course your nemesis got there first.
25:04It's perfect.
25:05She's not my nemesis.
25:07She's my neurologist.
25:09Stop quibbling over details, Watson.
25:11The gods of story demand sacrifice, and they demand it upon the altar of irony.
25:15Your nemesis led you to the method of murder.
25:18And now, on to motive, I suppose.
25:21Hoping to inspire a media firestorm, and draw attention to the perils of the thawing permafrost,
25:25and thus raise money for a surge that might curb the threat of resurrected viruses,
25:31someone on the expedition laced the proverbial Last Supper with typhoid,
25:35giving the team and unsettling mysterious elements.
25:38No one was intended to die, but Mr. Mallory's infection proved fatal.
25:42So, you need a suspect.
25:45Any thoughts?
25:46Watson, I'm positively made of thoughts.
25:49I'm a mediocre geologist in the midlife crisis.
25:53My work's plateaued.
25:55I take no joy in my classes.
25:57But a pact with zombie violence could mean notoriety.
26:01And with it, speaking engagements, publishing opportunities, chance for relevance.
26:06I have no life.
26:09Work is a grind.
26:10Non-stop pressure to put out new research.
26:12My husband, he's always gone.
26:15I think he's having an affair.
26:17But this new crisis, it could generate everything I want.
26:20Money, time off, and maybe even some sympathy.
26:25I'm an insomniac.
26:27I just stay up all night and obsess over what's coming.
26:30Floods, hurricanes.
26:31I saw it myself in New Orleans.
26:33Amelia's my hero.
26:34And I would do anything to win her approval or amplify her cause.
26:37Even put myself and the others at risk.
26:39No one else sees the impact climate change will have.
26:42Especially on people with disabilities like my brother.
26:45So I needed to spread the warning.
26:46And if that drives up sales of my book, well, mo' money, mo' healthcare for Jimbo.
26:51She did not say that.
26:53Professor Amelia Woodward did not say, mo' money, mo' healthcare for Jimbo.
26:57We're working quickly here.
26:58You get the gist.
26:59I take it you zeroed in on the culprit.
27:01Well, all the facts point in one direction.
27:07Now, according to this expedition log, you yourself prepped the final meal of that trip.
27:13A meal that I suspect got you sick.
27:17Meat and vegetable stew paired with Irish soda bread.
27:22Now, you have to remember, right?
27:24Because all of these notes are in your handwriting.
27:26Oh, okay. And?
27:28Over the past 12 hours, the sales of your book have skyrocketed right in line with the buzz about this zombie virus.
27:36Wait, what are you saying?
27:39I'm saying that you've been dedicated to a cause that's been gone ignored.
27:44You need money for your brother because all the issues...
27:47He's a man up in here!
27:53A medical crisis just as you confront your suspect, my dear Watson.
27:57You do give good climax.
27:59Now, you sure the professor wasn't faking it?
28:02It's a handy way to avoid a murder accusation.
28:04Oh, no, yes. It was real.
28:06Professor Woodward's typhoid infection developed into a splenic abscess.
28:11She was headed into surgery when I left.
28:13The police are going to be waiting for her in the morning.
28:16Brilliant, Molson. Utterly brilliant.
28:18Now, I was wondering...
28:19No!
28:21My story's over. The sun is coming up.
28:24Tell me.
28:27As best friends, I deserve to know.
28:33I lived a life in need of an escape hatch.
28:37Chasing criminals.
28:39A nemesis lurking in every alleyway.
28:41I always knew that one day it might all get to be a bit too much.
28:47Too much plotting, too much danger to the people I love.
28:51I kept the secrets of my DNA from the world.
28:54That way, when I needed an escape,
28:58the world might well believe I'm gone.
29:01You spent your whole life planning to fake your own death.
29:04Well, a man needs projects, Watson.
29:07How else can one stay off for them?
29:08That day,
29:15at Reichenbach,
29:17I engineered a meeting between my two most loathed enemies,
29:21Moriarty
29:21and Stapleton.
29:23Each of them
29:24arrived at the falls,
29:26believing they were approaching a confrontation with me.
29:29It's a tiny bit of business.
29:31A trap
29:31carefully sprung.
29:34Two dangerous criminals
29:35pitted against each other in a fight to the death.
29:39It was them
29:40you saw go over the cliff,
29:42Monson.
29:44Moriarty
29:44and Stapleton.
29:46My plan was to watch,
29:48to allow the world to believe
29:50I've been lost in the confrontation,
29:52and to make good my exit.
29:54I accounted for everything.
29:56Except
29:58your intrepid nature.
30:02I said it too early.
30:06You thought you saw me
30:07tumble into the river
30:08in a final conflict with Moriarty.
30:12But then you went after me.
30:15What else can I do
30:15but return the favor?
30:16I did go over the falls that day, Watson.
30:21But I did it to save you.
30:34You shouldn't have lied to me.
30:41Listen, Layla's gonna be up any second now.
30:46There was
30:46one thing
30:48I wanted to ask.
30:49And don't take this the wrong way, my friend.
30:52Are you entirely sure
30:53you've been the right suspect?
30:55Yes.
30:56Layla Woodward.
30:57I mean, like I said,
30:58the police are gonna be there
30:59to question her in the morning.
31:00Well, that's all very well.
31:01But I've been looking at this field, Jono.
31:04And they'll be interrogating
31:05the wrong person.
31:06I can't speak for
31:07Layla Woodward's medical prognosis,
31:09but
31:09on the question of murder,
31:12she is
31:13entirely
31:14innocent.
31:15I should have seen it.
31:21You're the full plate.
31:23Dying patient.
31:25Potential global outbreak.
31:27Chatty nemesis.
31:29Sometimes it helps to get a second opinion
31:31from a trusted friend.
31:32Dr. Watson.
31:36Allow me to introduce
31:38your patient.
31:39Dr. Nathan Hermanson.
31:42Good morning, Nate.
31:43Good to see you up and about.
31:44Dr. Hermanson was
31:45wondering about the treatment
31:46you've been giving him
31:47and the
31:48other members of the expedition.
31:50Oh, yes.
31:52Mirapenem.
31:53We use it to treat
31:54typhoid infections
31:55that are
31:55resistant to other medications.
31:57You should be as good as Newsome.
31:58Well,
31:59thank you.
32:02Yeah, these have been
32:02a difficult few days for you, huh?
32:05The illness,
32:06the loss of Rob Mallory.
32:08It's,
32:09it's,
32:09it's terrible.
32:10I can imagine.
32:11The grief,
32:12the guilt.
32:14I feel sad,
32:15of course.
32:15I'm not sure why I'd feel guilty.
32:17Well,
32:18I believe I traced
32:19the source of your illness
32:21to the final meal served
32:22on that Siberian expedition.
32:24In fact,
32:25I'm convinced that
32:26that meal
32:27was intentionally infected.
32:29What?
32:30Yeah.
32:31Why?
32:31Why,
32:32why would anyone do that?
32:34Amelia's my hero
32:35and I would do anything
32:36to win her approval
32:37or amplify her cause.
32:39To draw attention
32:39to the cause,
32:40of course,
32:40something that would
32:42cut through all of the clutter
32:43and get the world
32:44to pay attention.
32:45Professor Woodward
32:46cooked that last meal,
32:48but a closer look
32:49reveals
32:49that you
32:51washed the ingredients
32:53and prepped the cookware.
32:55In fact,
32:56you even offered up
32:57your family's old recipe
32:58for the main dish.
33:00Meat and vegetable stew,
33:02a.k.a.
33:04gumbo.
33:05You are from New Orleans, yes?
33:10I don't like this.
33:12It had to be you.
33:14You needed a knowledge base
33:15to breed an antibiotic-resistant
33:17strain of typhoid.
33:19You're a chemist.
33:20You had access
33:20just to all of the equipment.
33:23Now listen,
33:25I don't think you meant
33:26to kill Rob Mallory.
33:28I don't.
33:30But he's gone,
33:31just the same, mate.
33:33And that's what I meant
33:34by guilty.
33:36Can you prove
33:37any of this?
33:38The police
33:39are working on this
33:40as we speak.
33:42Hey,
33:43that reminds me.
33:44There's a couple of them
33:44waiting in your room.
33:47Do you feel up
33:47to a little chat?
33:55I hear you're doing better.
33:57Why are you smiling at me?
33:59You accused me of murder.
34:01I was wrong.
34:02I'm sorry.
34:04Your associate
34:05laced a meal
34:06with typhoid.
34:07Dr. Hermeson,
34:08he's with the detectives now.
34:10Are you sure?
34:12It's all in there.
34:13Your brother
34:17is lucky to have you,
34:18Dr. Woodward.
34:21Jimmy.
34:23I'm all he has.
34:25Maybe that doesn't
34:26have to be true anymore.
34:29James Woodward.
34:31My team and I,
34:32we can check in
34:33on his care.
34:34Now,
34:34I don't know the staff
34:35at this facility.
34:36I assume they're good,
34:37but even if they aren't,
34:39it'll help if they know
34:40someone's looking on.
34:43If you're serious,
34:46thank you.
34:47I'm serious.
34:57No,
34:58there's a note in here.
35:00This isn't mine.
35:09My dear Walton,
35:11stop dragging your feet
35:12and hire your nemesis
35:13back already.
35:14Life's more fun
35:15with a little spice.
35:17So you all know
35:18that I've been thinking
35:19about this for a while now.
35:21Nobody can help
35:22this clinic
35:22as much as Ingrid.
35:23Nobody can help
35:24our patients
35:25as much as Ingrid.
35:28Who disagrees?
35:29She was dangerous.
35:32She was dangerous.
35:33She almost killed my brother
35:34in a very roundabout
35:35kind of way,
35:36yes.
35:39Are you asking me?
35:40Because I'd rather die
35:41than another neurologist
35:42for you.
35:44I'm good.
35:46I'm actually asking
35:47all of you.
35:47I should have done
35:54this ages ago,
35:54Gav.
35:56You see,
35:57we're all colleagues
35:57and ain't that lovely,
36:00but we all did
36:02for Moriarty together
36:03and that's called
36:04a conspiracy.
36:05And we've all
36:06successful conspiracies
36:07that perpetrators
36:08stick close.
36:09And that's why
36:14you brought me
36:14into the room.
36:17I'll reach out
36:18to Dr. Darian.
36:19Good morning.
36:34Sasha?
36:36Hi.
36:37My name is Chu.
36:39And I'm your uncle.
36:42Hello.
36:44I'm very pleased
36:45to meet you, June.
36:47What a beautiful accent.
36:49Why, thank you very much.
36:52Oh, please,
36:52have a seat.
36:58So, how did you find it?
37:00Mm-hmm.
37:20Shenhua.
37:21Is Jimme here for you?
37:23I'm sorry.
37:24I'm sorry.
37:25I'm sorry.
37:25I'm sorry.
37:26I'm sorry.
37:26The old man that was just right here, was he waiting for me?
37:38I'm not sure.
37:40You want I should go track him down?
37:42No.
37:43I think so.
37:56Holmes?
38:15What do you say?
38:19Impressive.
38:20No.
38:21What are you doing here, aside from showing off?
38:24Well, you call it showing off, I call it testing myself.
38:28If I can fool Shinwell, I can fool anyone.
38:31You made your arrest?
38:32I did.
38:33Thanks for your help.
38:34You'd have gotten them your own good time.
38:37Goodbye.
38:38That's the reason we're here.
38:39But what are you doing back, Holmes?
38:41You said you had plans.
38:42I do indeed.
38:44There's a mystery here that's caught my attention.
38:47The Pittsburgh mystery, let's call it.
38:49So you faked your own death to poke around Pittsburgh?
38:51It's all part of a bigger project.
38:53I could catch criminals until the day I die, but it's all just a cycle.
38:57And in the end, there's only one crime that truly matters.
39:03Who stole the world, Watson?
39:07The world is out there, Holmes.
39:09It's not an easy place, not even a fair place.
39:12But nobody stole it.
39:14It's theirs now.
39:15The oligarchs.
39:16The fairway fiddlers.
39:17The spray tanned smilers, foreheads frozen in place.
39:20Cake eaters.
39:21My brother.
39:22The whole Jenga tower could use a bit of a rattle, I'd say.
39:27What are you planning?
39:28A third act surprise.
39:29I've missed you dearly, my friend.
39:30Goodbye for now, Watson.
39:31What are you planning?
39:32A third act surprise.
39:33I've missed you dearly, my friend.
39:38Goodbye for now, Watson.
39:43Bye for now, Watson.
39:44Bye for now, Watson.
39:55Bye for now, Watson.
