00:00How's your blog going?
00:28Mmm, fine.
00:30Good.
00:31Very good.
00:32Written much?
00:34Not a word.
00:35John, it's going to take you a while to adjust to civilian life.
00:40Sure.
00:41And it will help so much to write about everything that's happening to you.
00:45Nothing happens to me.
00:47Yeah.
00:48Yeah.
00:49Yeah.

01:38Yeah.
01:39Yeah.
01:40Yeah.
01:41I think we're going to need you.
02:05John!
02:06John Watson!
02:10Stanford!
02:11Mike Stanford!
02:12What?
02:13We're a boss together.
02:14Yes.
02:15Sorry, yes, Mike.
02:16Hello.
02:17Yeah, I know.
02:18I've got fat.
02:19I heard you were abroad somewhere getting shot at.
02:22What happened?
02:24I got shot.
02:26So you're still at Vance then?
02:28Teaching now.
02:29Bright young things like we used to be.
02:32Got out of here at them.
02:34What about you?
02:35Dealing in town, you get yourself sorted?
02:37Plan of order London on an army pension?
02:39I don't know.
02:40Get yourself a flat chair or something.
02:42Who'd want me for a flat mate?
02:46What?
02:47Well, you're the second person to say that to me today.
02:50Who was the first?
02:51How fresh?
02:52Justin.
02:5367, natural causes.
02:54Used to work here.
02:55Donated his body.
02:56I knew him.
02:57He was nice.
02:58Fine.
02:59We'll start with the riding crop.
03:05So.
03:06Bad day, was it?
03:07I need to know what bruises form in the next 20 minutes.
03:12Man's alibi depends on it.
03:13Text me.
03:14Listen, I was wondering.
03:15Maybe later.
03:16Are you wearing lipstick?
03:17You weren't wearing lipstick before.
03:18I just refreshed it a bit.
03:19Sorry, you were saying?
03:20I was wondering if you'd like to have coffee.
03:22Black.
03:23Two sugars, please.
03:24I'll be upstairs.
03:25Okay.
03:26Okay.
03:27Man's alibi depends on it. Text me.
03:29Listen, I was wondering, maybe later...
03:31Are you wearing lipstick? You weren't wearing lipstick before.
03:34I just refreshed it a bit.
03:36Sorry, you were saying?
03:38I was wondering if you'd like to have coffee.
03:41Black. Two sugars, please. I'll be upstairs.
03:45Okay.
03:57Oh, it's a bit different from my day.
04:21You've no idea.
04:23Mike, can I borrow your phone? No signal on mine.
04:26Well, what's wrong with a landline?
04:28Rather text.
04:31Sorry, other coat.
04:33All right, here. Use mine.
04:36Oh.
04:39It's an old maid of mine, John Watson.
04:43Afghanistan or Iraq?
04:47Afghanistan. Sorry, how did you know?
04:49Ah, coffee. Thank you, Molly.
04:53What happened to the lipstick?
04:54It wasn't working for me.
04:57Really? I thought it was a big improvement.
05:00Math's too small, man.
05:02Okay.
05:05How do you feel about the violin?
05:07Sorry, what?
05:08I play the violin when I'm thinking.
05:09Sometimes I don't talk for days on end.
05:12Would that bother you?
05:13Potential flatmates should know the worst about each other.
05:15Oh, you told him about me?
05:16Not a word.
05:17Then who said anything about flatmates?
05:20I did.
05:21I told Mike this morning that I must be a difficult man to find a flatmate for.
05:24Now here he is after lunch with an old friend, clearly home from military service in Afghanistan.
05:28Wasn't a difficult leap.
05:30How did you know about Afghanistan?
05:31I've got my eye on a nice little place in central London.
05:33Together we could afford it.
05:35We'll meet there tomorrow evening, seven o'clock.
05:37Sorry, I've got a dash.
05:38I think I left my riding crop in the mortuary.
05:40Is that it?
05:42Is that what?
05:43We've just met and we're going to go and look at a flat.
05:46Problem?
05:47We don't know a thing about each other.
05:49I don't know your name.
05:50I don't even know where we're meeting.
05:54I know you're an army doctor.
05:56And you've recently been invalided home from Afghanistan.
05:59I know you've got a brother with a bit of money who's worried about you.
06:01But you won't go to him for help because you don't approve of him.
06:04Possibly because he's an alcoholic.
06:05More likely because he recently walked out on his wife.
06:08And I know your therapist thinks you're limp psychosomatic quite correctly, I'm afraid.
06:14It's enough to be going on with me, you think?
06:19The name's Sherlock Holmes and the address is 221B Baker Street.
06:24Afternoon.
06:28Yeah.
06:29He's always like that.
06:30Mrs. Hudson, our landlady.
06:52Ah, Mr. Hudson?
06:54Sherlock, please.
06:55Getting a special rate owes me a favour.
06:58A few years ago, her husband got himself sentenced to death in Florida.
07:01I was able to help out.
07:03You stopped her husband being executed?
07:05Oh, no, I insured it.
07:09Sherlock!
07:11Come in, come in.
07:14Yeah.
07:14Come in.
07:14Well, this could be very nice.
07:34Oh, very nice indeed.
07:36Yes, I think so.
07:37My thoughts exactly.
07:39So I...
07:40Get all this rubbish cleaned out.
07:43So this is all your stuff?
07:45Obviously, I can straighten things up.
07:47A bit.
07:56That's a real skull.
07:58A friend of mine.
07:59Well, I say friend.
08:02What do you think, Dr. Watson?
08:04There's another bedroom upstairs, if you've been needing two bedrooms.
08:08Well, of course we'll be needing two.
08:09Oh, don't worry.
08:10There's all sorts round here.
08:12Mrs. Turner next door's got married ones.
08:15Sherlock, the mess you've made.
08:18Oh.
08:18Oh, I, um...
08:29Looked you up on the internet last night.
08:33Anything interesting?
08:34Found your website.
08:36Science of deduction.
08:37What did you think?
08:38Quite amusing, I suppose.
08:40Amusing?
08:40You said you could identify a software designer by his tie and a retired plumber by his left hand.
08:46Yes, and I can read your military career by your face and your leg and your brother's drinking habits by your mobile phone.
08:51Stay to the place already.
08:54How?
08:54You read the article?
08:55The article was absurd.
08:56But I know about his drinking habits.
08:58I even know that he left his wife.
09:00What about these suicides then, Sherlock?
09:02Thought that'd be right up your street.
09:04Been a fourth one now.
09:05Yes, actually.
09:06Very much up my street.
09:10Can I just ask, what is your street?
09:13It's been a fifth.
09:14Where this time?
09:19Brixton.
09:20Norriston Gardens.
09:21Will you come?
09:21Who's on forensics?
09:23It's Anderson.
09:24Anderson won't work with me.
09:26He won't be your assistant.
09:27But I need an assistant.
09:29Will you come?
09:32Not in a police car.
09:33I'll be right behind.
09:40Brilliant.
09:41Thought it was going to be a dull evening.
09:43Honestly, can't beat a really imaginative serial killer when there's nothing on the telly, Mrs. Hudson.
09:49Maybe our up late might need some food.
09:50I'm your landlady, dear, not your housekeeper.
09:53Something cold will do.
09:55John, make yourself at home.
09:57Have a cup of tea.
09:58Don't wake up.
09:58Look at him dashing up.
10:01My husband was just the same.
10:04But you're more the sitting down type, I can tell.
10:07I'll make you that cuppa.
10:08You rest your leg.
10:09Damn my leg!
10:11Oh.
10:12I'm sorry.
10:12I'm so sorry.
10:14It's just sometimes this bloody thing.
10:17I understand, dear.
10:18I've got a hip.
10:19A cup of tea would be lovely.
10:21Just this once, dear.
10:22I'm not your housekeeper.
10:24A couple of biscuits, too, if you've got them.
10:26I'm not your housekeeper.
10:27You're a doctor.
10:45In fact, you're an army doctor.
10:50Yes.
10:51Any good?
10:54Very good.
10:55Seen a lot of injuries, then.
10:56Violent deaths.
10:58Well, yes.
11:00Bit of trouble, too, I bet.
11:01Of course, yes.
11:02Enough for a lifetime.
11:03Far too much.
11:06I want to see some more.
11:07God, yes.
11:08Come on, then.
11:12Sorry, Mrs. Hudson.
11:14I skipped the cuppa.
11:15I found...
11:16What?
11:17Both of you?
11:18No point sitting at home.
11:19There's finally some halfway interesting murders.
11:21Look at you all happy.
11:22It's not decent.
11:24Who cares about decent?
11:25But the game, Mrs. Hudson, is on.
11:28Cherchey!
11:36Cherchey!
11:36Okay, you've got questions.
11:53Where are we going?
11:54Kindsy.
11:55There's been a murder.
11:56Next.
11:58Who are you?
11:59What do you do?
11:59What do you think?
12:00I'd say private detective, but...
12:02Right.
12:03The police don't go to private detectives.
12:05I'm a consulting detective.
12:06I'm the only one in the world.
12:08I invented the job.
12:09What does that mean?
12:11It means when the police are out of their depth, which is always they consult me.
12:14The police don't consult...
12:17amateurs.
12:20When I met you for the first time yesterday and asked Afghanistan or Iraq, you looked surprised.
12:25How did you know?
12:25I didn't know.
12:26I saw.
12:28Tan face, but no tan above the wrist.
12:30You've been abroad, but not sunbathing.
12:32Your hair cut and the way you hold yourself says military.
12:36Your conversation when you entered the room...
12:37A bit different from my day.
12:40...says trained at BART.
12:41So, army doctor, obvious.
12:45Your limp's really bad when you walk.
12:47You don't ask for a chair when you stand, like you've forgotten about it.
12:50That means the limp is at least partly psychosomatic.
12:53That says the original circumstances of the injury were traumatizing.
12:57Wounded in action then.
12:58So, where does an army doctor get himself a suntan and wounded in action these days?
13:02Afghanistan or Iraq?
13:06You said I had a therapist.
13:07He's got a psychosomatic limp.
13:09Of course you've got a therapist.
13:13There's your brother.
13:15Here.
13:16Use mine.
13:17Your phone.
13:19It's expensive.
13:20Email-enabled MP3 player.
13:21You're looking for a flat show.
13:22You wouldn't waste money on this.
13:23It's a gift, then.
13:24Scratches.
13:25Not just one, but many over time.
13:26It's been in the same pocket as keys and coins.
13:28Magic.
13:29Besides, he wouldn't treat his one luxury item like this.
13:31It's had a previous owner, then.
13:32Next bit's easy.
13:34You know it already.
13:35The engraving.
13:36Harry Watson.
13:37Clearly a family member who's given you his old phone.
13:40Not your father.
13:40This is a young man's gadget.
13:42Could be a cousin.
13:43But then you're a war hero returning home who can't find a place to live.
13:47Unlikely, you've got an extended family.
13:48Certainly not one you're close to.
13:50So, brother it is.
13:51Now, Clara.
13:53Who's Clara?
13:55Three kisses says it's a romantic attachment.
13:57Spencer, the phone says wife, not girlfriend.
13:59She's given this to him recently.
14:00The model's only six months old, so it's a marriage in trouble.
14:03Then six months on, he's just given it away.
14:05If she'd left him, he'd have kept the phone probably.
14:07People do.
14:08Sentiment.
14:08But no, he wanted rid of it.
14:10He left her.
14:11He gave the phone to you.
14:11That says he wants you to stay in touch.
14:13He's worried about you.
14:14You're looking for cheap accommodation, but you won't go to your brother for help.
14:16That says you've got problems with him.
14:19Maybe you liked his wife.
14:21Maybe you don't like his drinking.
14:23Yeah, how can you possibly know about the drinking?
14:25Shot in the dark.
14:26Good one, then.
14:28Power connection.
14:29Tiny scuff marks around the edge of it.
14:31Every night he plugs it in to recharge, but his hands are shaking.
14:33You never see those marks on a sober man's phone.
14:35You never see a drunks without them.
14:38There you go.
14:38You see, you were right.
14:40I was right.
14:40Right about what?
14:41The police don't consult amateurs.
14:49That was amazing.
14:55Do you think so?
14:56Of course it was.
14:58It was extraordinary.
14:59It was quite extraordinary.
15:01What do people usually say?
15:02What do they usually say?
15:03Piss off.
15:04Did they get anything wrong?
15:17Harry and me don't get on.
15:19Never have.
15:20Harry and Clara getting a divorce.
15:23Split up three months ago.
15:24Harry's a drinker.
15:27Spot on, then.
15:28I think it's supposed to be right about everything.
15:29Harry's short for Harriet.
15:32Harry's your sister.
15:34What exactly am I supposed to be doing here?
15:36Your sister?
15:36Seriously, why am I here?
15:38There's always something.
15:39Hello, freak.
15:40I'm here to see Inspector Lestrade.
15:42Why?
15:42I was invited.
15:44Why?
15:44I think you want me to take a look.
15:47Well, you know what I think, don't you?
15:49Always Sally.
15:50Even though you didn't make it home last night.
15:52Who's this?
15:54Colleague of mine, Dr. Watson.
15:56Dr. Watson, Sergeant Sally Donovan.
15:58Old friend.
15:59A colleague?
15:59How did you get a colleague?
16:01Did he follow you home?
16:02Would it be better if I just go?
16:04No.
16:09Yeah, freak's here.
16:11Bringing him in.
16:13Ah, Anderson, here we are again.
16:16It's a crime scene.
16:18I don't want it contaminated.
16:19Are we clear on that?
16:20Quite clear.
16:21Magic tricks might impress Inspector Lestrade.
16:23Gosh, they don't work on me.
16:26And is your wife away for long?
16:29Oh, don't pretend you've worked that out.
16:31Someone told you that.
16:32Your deodorant told me that.
16:33My deodorant.
16:34It's for men.
16:36Well, of course it's for men.
16:37I'm wearing it.
16:37So, Sergeant Donovan.
16:42Ooh.
16:43I think it just vaporized.
16:44May I go in?
16:45You listen to me, okay?
16:46Whatever it is, you're trying to imply.
16:48I'm not implying anything.
16:49I'm sure Sally came around for a nice little chat
16:51and happened to stay over.
16:52I assume scrubbed your floors
16:55going by the state of her knees.
16:56Right, just go in.
16:57Just go.
17:02You have two minutes.
17:03We need longer.
17:09Put this on.
17:10Who's this?
17:11He's with me.
17:12Yeah, but who is he?
17:13I told you.
17:14He's with me.
17:15So, where are we?
17:18It's upstairs.
17:21The footprint analysis says
17:23that the only other person in this room
17:25in the last 12 hours
17:26was a man of about 5'7",
17:28and it seemed that he and the victim
17:29arrived together by car.
17:31All identifications missing from the body,
17:34just like the others.
17:34I have no idea who she is
17:43or where she's from.
17:44Well, she's from out of town, clearly.
17:46Planned to spend a single night in London
17:48before returning home.
17:49So far, so obvious.
17:50Obvious?
17:51Yes, obvious.
17:51Back at the right leg.
17:52Dr. Watson, what do you think?
17:54What do I think?
17:55You're the medical man?
17:56We have a whole team, I don't say.
17:57They won't work with me.
17:59I'm breaking every rule
18:00letting you in here.
18:01Yeah, because you need me.
18:07Yes, I do.
18:08Go and help me.
18:10John?
18:13Just do as he says.
18:14Help yourself.
18:24What?
18:27What am I doing here?
18:29Helping me make a point.
18:30I'm supposed to be helping you pay the rent.
18:31Yeah, this is more fun.
18:32Fun?
18:33There's a woman lying dead.
18:34No, there are two women
18:35and three men lying dead.
18:36Keep talking and there'll be more.
18:38No, cause of death.
18:47Asphyxiation.
18:48Probably she passed out
18:49and choked on her own vomit.
18:50I can't smell any alcohol on her.
18:52Could be a seizure, possibly drugs.
18:54It was poison.
18:55How do you know?
18:56Because they were all poisoned.
18:58By who?
18:59By themselves.
19:00Themselves?
19:01You've identified a drug.
19:02Doesn't matter.
19:03It was poison.
19:05Same pattern each time.
19:08Each one of them disappears
19:09from their normal lives.
19:15From the theater,
19:16from their home,
19:17from the office,
19:18from the pub.
19:20Turn up a few years later.
19:22They've no reason to be
19:23dead.
19:25Dead.
19:29No marks of violence
19:30on the body.
19:31No suggestion of compulsion.
19:37Each of them has taken
19:38the same poison
19:39and as far as we can tell,
19:41taken it voluntarily.
19:42Sherlock,
19:43two minutes,
19:43I said.
19:43I need anything you've got.
19:49Okay,
19:49take this down.
19:50Just tell me what you've got.
19:51I'm not going to write it down.
19:53Sherlock!
19:53It's all right.
19:55I'll do it.
19:57The victim is in her early 30s.
19:58A professional person
19:59going by her clothes.
20:01I guess something in the media
20:02going by the frankly
20:03alarming shade of pink.
20:04She's travelled from Cardiff
20:05today intending to stay
20:06in London for one night
20:07that's obvious
20:08from the size of her suitcase.
20:09Suitcase?
20:10A suitcase, yes.
20:12She's been married
20:12several years
20:13but not happily.
20:14She's had a string of lovers
20:15but I didn't even knew
20:16she was married.
20:17For God's sake,
20:18if you're just making this out...
20:19A wedding ring.
20:20Look at it.
20:20It's too tight.
20:21It was thinner
20:22when she first wore it.
20:23That's as married for a while.
20:24Also, there's grime
20:25in the gem setting.
20:26The rest of her jewellery
20:27has recently been cleaned.
20:28That tells you everything
20:29you need to know
20:29about the state of her marriage.
20:31Inside of the ring
20:31is shinier than the outside.
20:33That means it's readily removed.
20:35The polishing it gets
20:36is when she works it off her finger
20:37but it can't be easy
20:38so she must have a reason.
20:40It can't be for work
20:40and nails are too long.
20:42It doesn't work with her hands
20:43so what or rather
20:44who does she remove her ring for?
20:46Clearly not one lover
20:47she'd never sustain the fiction
20:48of being single over time
20:49so more likely
20:50a string of them simple.
20:51Brilliant.
20:54Sorry.
20:56Cardiff.
20:57Obvious, isn't it?
20:58It's not obvious to me.
20:59Dear God.
21:00What's it like inside
21:01your funny little brains?
21:01It must be so boring.
21:03Her coat.
21:04Slightly damp.
21:05She's been in heavy rain
21:06in the last few hours.
21:07No rain anywhere in London
21:08until the last few minutes.
21:09Under her coat,
21:10collar is down too.
21:11She's turned it up
21:12against the wind.
21:13There's an umbrella
21:14in her left pocket
21:14but it's dry and unused.
21:17Not just wind.
21:17Strong wind.
21:18Too strong to use her umbrella.
21:20We know from her suitcase
21:21that she intended to stay a night
21:22so she must have come
21:23a decent distance.
21:24She can't have traveled
21:25more than two or three hours
21:26because her coat
21:27still hasn't dried.
21:28So,
21:29where's there been
21:29heavy rain
21:30and strong winds
21:30within the radius
21:31of that travel time?
21:33Cardiff.
21:34Fantastic.
21:35Do you know
21:36you do that out loud?
21:37I'm sorry, I'll shut up.
21:38No, it's fine.
21:40There is no suitcase.
21:42I'm sorry.
21:43You keep saying suitcase.
21:45There wasn't one.
21:46Oh.
21:47I was assuming
21:48we'd taken it away.
21:48She had a handbag.
21:50Why do you say
21:51she had a case?
21:51Because she did.
21:52Her handbag.
21:52Was there a mobile phone in it?
21:54No.
21:55That's odd.
21:55That's very odd.
21:56Why?
21:57Never mind.
21:58We need to find her case.
21:59How do you know
21:59she had a case?
22:00Back of her right leg.
22:01Tiny splash marks
22:02above the heel and calf
22:03not present on the left.
22:05She was dragging
22:05a real suitcase
22:06behind her
22:06with her right hand.
22:08I don't get that
22:08splash pattern
22:09any other way.
22:10Smallish case.
22:10Judging where the spread.
22:11Case that size.
22:12Woman this close conscious.
22:13Could only be an overnight bag.
22:15So we know
22:15she was standing like her.
22:17Maybe she checked
22:17into a hotel
22:18after her case there?
22:19She never made it
22:20to a hotel.
22:20Look at her hair.
22:21Color coordinates
22:22her lipstick and her shoes.
22:23A woman like that
22:24would never leave the hotel
22:25with her hair still looking like...
22:29Oh.
22:33Oh.
22:34Sherlock?
22:36What?
22:36What is it?
22:37What, what, what?
22:38Serial killers.
22:39Always hard.
22:40Have to wait for them
22:41to make a mistake.
22:42We can't just wait.
22:43Oh, we're done waiting.
22:44When she was found
22:45she couldn't have been here long.
22:47Is that right?
22:48No, not wrong at all.
22:49No, um,
22:50less than an hour.
22:51Less than an hour.
22:53An hour.
22:54News blackout.
22:55Can you do that?
22:56Don't say that you found
22:57her nothing for a day.
22:58Why?
22:59Look at her.
22:59Really?
23:00Look.
23:01Houston,
23:02we have a mistake.
23:04Back at the moment.
23:05What mistake?
23:07Pink.
23:10Anderson?
23:11I'm here.
23:11So, what was the point
23:14in all that?
23:15We're after a psychopath.
23:17So we're bringing in
23:18another psychopath to help?
23:19If that's what it takes,
23:20all yours.
23:22Oh, come on.
23:24My notes,
23:25do you want me to, uh...
23:26Sorry, you're...
23:27Dr. Watson.
23:28Well, you're gonna have to go,
23:29Dr. Watson.
23:30Don't need your notes.
23:32Okay, let's go on with it.
23:33Okay, look,
23:39we're gonna need Jones
23:39and Adam's everything.
23:41There's so many people
23:42out of the street
23:43and everyone's back.
23:48He's gone.
23:49What, Sherlock Holmes?
23:50He just took off.
23:51He does that.
23:52Is he coming back?
23:53Didn't look like it.
23:55Right.
23:57Right, yes.
23:59Um, sorry,
24:00where am I?
24:01Whixson.
24:02Right, do you know
24:03where I'd, uh,
24:04get a cab?
24:05It's just my leg.
24:06Yeah, try the main road.
24:11Hey.
24:13You're not his friend.
24:14He doesn't have friends.
24:16So who are you?
24:17Yeah, I'm...
24:17I'm nobody.
24:18I've just met him.
24:19Right, bit of advice then?
24:21Stay away from that guy.
24:23Why?
24:24Well, you know why he's here.
24:25He's not paid or anything.
24:27He likes it.
24:27He gets off on it.
24:30The weirder the crime,
24:30the more he gets off.
24:32And you know what?
24:33One day just showing up
24:34isn't going to be enough.
24:35One day we'll be standing
24:37around a body
24:37and Sherlock Holmes
24:38will be the one
24:39who put it there.
24:40Why would he do that?
24:41Because he's a psychopath
24:42and psychopaths get bored.
24:44Donovan!
24:45You're coming!
24:47Stay away from Sherlock Holmes.
24:56Thanks.
24:57Bye sometimes.
24:58Bye, Mariusz.
25:06Bye.
25:10Bye.
25:11Bye.
25:11Bye.
25:18Bye.
25:19Bye.
25:20Bye.
25:22Bye.
25:23Bye.
25:24Bye.
25:25Oh, my God.
25:55Oh, my God.
26:25Oh, my God.
26:55Are you late or something?
26:56No, not particularly white.
26:58Sorry.
26:59You just look a bit wired.
27:02Wired?
27:02What do you mean, wired?
27:03What do you do?
27:19Nicotine patch helps me think.
27:22Impossible to sustain a smoking habit in London these days.
27:25Bad news for brain work.
27:26Good news for breathing.
27:28Oh, breathing.
27:29Breathing's boring.
27:31Is that three patches?
27:33It's a three-patch problem.
27:34I don't know.
27:37Well?
27:40You asked me to come.
27:41Took me an hour to get here.
27:42I assume it's important.
27:44Oh, yeah.
27:45Can I borrow your phone?
27:47My phone?
27:48Don't want to use mine.
27:49Always a chance the number will be recognised.
27:50It's on the website.
27:53Mrs. Hudson's got a phone.
27:54Yeah, but she's downstairs.
27:55I tried shouting, but she didn't hear.
27:56I was the other side of London.
27:57There's no hurry.
28:02Here.
28:02Here.
28:06So, what's this about?
28:08The case?
28:08Her case.
28:10Her case?
28:10Her suitcase, yes.
28:11The murderer took her suitcase.
28:13First big mistake.
28:16It's the use.
28:17There's no other way.
28:17We'll have to risk it.
28:18Risk what?
28:19There's a number over there on the table.
28:21I want you to send a text.
28:23Who we're texting?
28:24Never mind.
28:24On the table.
28:25The number now, please.
28:27Maybe Sergeant Dumbledore was right about you.
28:31What did she say?
28:32Said you were a psychopath.
28:33Oh.
28:33Didn't think she was that smart.
28:35She said, one day, they're going to show up at a murder scene and you'll have provided the body.
28:39These words exactly.
28:41What happened at Loriston Gardens, I must have blacked out.
28:4622 Northumberland Terrace, please come.
28:57Well, send it.
29:03You sent it.
29:04Just a moment.
29:07Take a look at the impossible.
29:09The contents of her case.
29:12How did you get this?
29:13By looking.
29:14Where?
29:14We know the killer drove to Loriston Gardens.
29:16We know the killer is a man.
29:18No man could be seen with this case without attracting attention to himself.
29:21So obviously he'd feel compelled to get rid of it the moment he knew it was still in his car.
29:24Wouldn't have taken him all the five minutes to realize his mistake.
29:26I checked every backstreet wide enough for a car within five minutes of Loriston Gardens.
29:32And looked for anywhere you could easily dispose of above the object without being observed.
29:40Took me less than an hour to find the right skip.
29:48Pink.
29:49You got all that because you realized the case would be pink.
29:52I had to be pink, obviously.
29:53Why didn't I think of that?
29:54Because you're stupid.
29:54Oh, no, don't look like that.
29:56Practically everyone is.
29:58Sent?
30:00Sent, yes.
30:01What was that about?
30:02The contents of her case.
30:03Look at them.
30:08What am I looking for?
30:09Impossible.
30:10The one impossible thing.
30:13There's a change of clothes, a makeup bag, a wash bag, and a novel.
30:19What's impossible?
30:19A mobile phone.
30:20There isn't a mobile phone.
30:21That's what's impossible.
30:22No mobile in that case.
30:23No mobile in her coat pocket.
30:25Well, maybe she doesn't have one.
30:26She has a string of lovers.
30:27Of course she has one.
30:28She could have left it at home.
30:29Again, string of lovers.
30:30She never leaves her phone at home.
30:31So where is it?
30:32You know where it is.
30:34More importantly, you know who has it.
30:37The murderer.
30:38The murderer.
30:40Who did I just text?
30:41Maybe she just dropped it in the back of his car.
30:43Maybe she planted it on purpose to lead us to him.
30:45But the murderer has her phone.
30:52A few hours since his last victim.
30:54Now he's received the text, which can only be from her.
30:59An innocent man would ignore a text like that, assume it was a mistake.
31:03A guilty man would panic.
31:06Have you spoken to the police?
31:10Five people are dead.
31:10There isn't time to talk to the police.
31:12Then why are you talking to me?
31:13You're here.
31:15Well?
31:16Well, what?
31:17Well, you could sit there and watch telly.
31:20Problem?
31:21Sergeant Dunman.
31:23What about it?
31:23Said you'd get off on this.
31:24You'd enjoy it.
31:25And I said danger.
31:26Here you are.
31:27Damn it!
31:43Where are we going?
31:44Northumberland Terrace is a five-minute walk from here.
31:47What, you think he's stupid enough to go there?
31:48No, I think he's brilliant enough.
31:50I love the brilliant ones.
31:51So desperate to get caught.
31:53Why?
31:55Appreciation.
31:55Long last the spotlight.
31:58To you it's an arrest.
31:59To them it's a coming out party.
32:01It's the frailty of genius.
32:03Meeting audience.
32:04Yes.
32:06Yes.
32:08I suppose it does.
32:2222 Northumberland Terrace.
32:24Keep your eyes on it.
32:25Don't you want to keep your eyes on it?
32:27I am.
32:30But he's not just going to ring the doorbell, though, is he?
32:32No, of course not.
32:33But he'll pass by.
32:35Might even lighter.
32:36Half of London's passing by.
32:38I'll recognise him.
32:39You know who he is?
32:40I know what he is.
32:41Sherlock!
32:43Anything on the menu.
32:45Whatever you want.
32:46Free.
32:47All on the house.
32:47You and your date.
32:48Do you want a meet?
32:49And what is date?
32:50Oh, this man.
32:54He got to be off a murder charge.
32:57This is Angelo.
32:58Three years ago, I successfully proved to Inspector Lestrade that at the time of a particularly vicious triple murder,
33:02Angelo was in a completely different part of town.
33:05Carjacking.
33:06He cleared my name.
33:07Cleared a bit.
33:08Anything on the menu, I cook it for you, myself.
33:13Thank you, Angelo.
33:14It's not for you.
33:15I had to go to prison.
33:17You did go to prison.
33:21I'll get you a candle for the table.
33:24It's more romantic.
33:25I'm not his date.
33:31May as well eat.
33:33Might be waiting a long time.
33:35Are you going to?
33:37What day is it?
33:38It's Wednesday.
33:39I'm okay for a bit.
33:40You haven't eaten today.
33:41For God's sake, you need to eat.
33:42No, you need to eat.
33:43I need to think.
33:44The brain's what counts.
33:44Everything else is transported.
33:47You might consider refueling.
33:49Mm-hmm.
33:55So, do you have a girlfriend who feeds you up sometimes?
34:00A couple of girlfriends do feed you up.
34:05You don't have a girlfriend, then?
34:06It's not really in my area.
34:07Oh.
34:10Oh.
34:12All right.
34:15Do you have a boyfriend?
34:19Which is fine, by the way.
34:20I know it's fine.
34:21So you don't have a boyfriend, then?
34:22No.
34:23Right.
34:23Right.
34:23Okay.
34:25Is that unattached, like me?
34:28Good.
34:32John, you should know that I consider myself married to my work, and while I'm flattered
34:38by your interest, I'm really not looking for any kind of...
34:40No.
34:40No.
34:42I wasn't asking you out.
34:44No.
34:45I'm just saying, it's all fine.
34:48Whatever shakes you.
34:51Boat.
34:52I'm going to show up there.
34:52I think that's for the best.
34:59So, you don't do anything.
35:04Everything else is transport.
35:07No sign yet, then?
35:22I suppose it is a long shot.
35:26We have to be realistic.
35:28You said before, you didn't know who the killer was, but you knew what.
35:32So do you, if you think about it.
35:33Why don't people just think?
35:35Because we're stupid.
35:40We know the killer drove his victims, but there were no marks of coercion or violence
35:44on the bodies.
35:45Each one of those five people climbed into a stranger's car voluntarily.
35:49The killer was someone they trusted.
35:51But not someone they knew.
35:53Five completely different people.
35:54They had no friends in common.
35:55And another thing, Lauriston Gardens, did you see it?
35:57Twitching curtains, little old ladies.
35:59Little old ladies are my favorite, better than any security cameras.
36:02But according to the police, no one remembers a strange car parked outside an empty house.
36:07Not one person remembered.
36:09I see what you're saying.
36:12No, I don't.
36:13What are you saying?
36:14That the killer's got an invisible car?
36:15Yes.
36:16Yes, exactly.
36:17Okay, I definitely don't see what you're saying.
36:22There are cars that pass like ghosts, unseen, unremembered.
36:28There are people we trust, always, when we're alone.
36:32When we're lost, when we're drunk.
36:35We never see their faces.
36:37But every day, we disappear into their cars and let the trap close around us.
36:52Antelope, glass of white wine, quickly.
36:54I give you the perfect murder weapon of the modern age.
37:00Invisible car.
37:03A London cab.
37:13There's been cabs up and down this street all night.
37:15This one's stopped.
37:16He's looking for a fare.
37:17We don't know it's him.
37:29We don't know it isn't.
37:36Watch.
37:37Don't interfere.
37:38Angelo, headless nun.
37:40Oh, now that was the case.
37:43Say it again.
37:44If you wouldn't mind.
37:46Out of my restaurant, cratino.
37:49You're drunk.
37:51Divorz umbriar.
37:53And stay away.
37:54What's he doing?
38:03Sherlock's on the case.
38:06Bad news for bad people.
38:07Hey, hey, come on.
38:21Sorry, mate.
38:22Off duty.
38:232-2-1-B Baker Street.
38:26I'm not on duty, mate.
38:27You see the light?
38:28Just around the corner.
38:29It's Baker Street.
38:30There's plenty of other cabs around here.
38:31Get another cab.
38:322-2-1-B.
38:33I'm not on duty.
38:34And I don't do drunks.
38:37Hello?
38:50How do you make them take the poison?
38:54What?
38:55What did you say?
38:56I said, how do you make them take the poison?
39:00Oi, who are you?
39:01Sorocones.
39:03Do a lot of drugs.
39:04Share a lot of those.
39:05Not in a while.
39:06I ask because you're very resilient.
39:09Most people would have passed out one of them.
39:18It's okay.
39:19All part of the plan.
39:21It's okay.
39:22He's just had a few.
39:24Look at the state of it.
39:25George.
39:31The trouble is, your friends all think you're acting.
39:35That's the thing about people.
39:37They're all stupid.
39:42Something's gone wrong.
39:43No, no, no, no.
39:44No.
39:44No.
39:44No.
39:45All part of the plan.
39:46Sherlock always has a plan.
39:48Yes.
39:49And it's gone wrong.
39:50No.
39:51No.
39:51No.
39:52No.
39:52No.
39:52No.
40:15No.
40:16I hope you don't like it.
40:25Well, you gave me your address.
40:28You've only been out for about ten minutes.
40:36You're strong.
40:37I'm impressed.
40:39That's right, you warm yourself up.
40:42I'll make everything nice and cozy for you.
40:46It's very close.
40:47Of course it is, yeah.
40:49Found your keys in your jacket.
40:51I thought, well, why not?
40:55People like to die at home.
41:00Now, now.
41:02The drug's still in your system.
41:05You'll be weak as a kitten for at least an hour.
41:09I could do anything I wanted to you right now, Mr. Holmes.
41:14Anything at all.
41:16But don't worry.
41:20I'm only gonna kill you.
41:29The whole house is empty.
41:32Even your landlady's away.
41:34So there's no point in raising your voice.
41:36We're all locked in.
41:38Nice and snug.
41:39Still, whatever risk, isn't it?
41:44Yeah.
41:45You call that a risk?
41:49This is a risk.
41:50You wanted to know how I made them take the poison.
42:06You're gonna love this.
42:12Oh.
42:13Take a moment.
42:15Get yourself together.
42:18I want your best game.
42:20I know who you are, Mr. Holmes.
42:31Sherlock Holmes.
42:32The moment you said your name, I knew.
42:35Sherlock Holmes.
42:41I've been on your website loads of times.
42:43You are brilliant.
42:47You are.
42:49Proper genius.
42:51The science of deduction.
42:53Now that is proper thinking.
42:55Between you and me, why can't people think?
43:00Doesn't it drive you mad?
43:04Why can't people just think?
43:05Oh, I see.
43:07So you're a proper genius too.
43:09Don't look at it, do I?
43:15Funny little man.
43:16Drives a cab.
43:18But you know better in a minute.
43:21Chances aren't be the last thing you ever know.
43:26Who are you?
43:27Nobody.
43:30For now.
43:32But I won't die of nobody.
43:36Now will I?
43:39Two pills.
43:48There's a good pill and a bad pill.
43:51You take the good pill, you live.
43:53Take the bad pill, you die.
43:55And you know which is which.
43:56Of course, I know.
43:57But I don't.
43:58Wouldn't be a game if you knew.
44:00You're the one who chooses.
44:02It's not a game.
44:05It's a chance.
44:06I've played five times.
44:08I'm alive.
44:10It's not chance, Mr. Holmes.
44:12It's chess.
44:14It's a game of chess with one move and one survivor.
44:18And this.
44:21This is the move.
44:23Did I just give you the good pill or the bad pill?
44:32You can choose either one.
44:33That's what you did to all of them.
44:42You gave them a choice.
44:44You've got to admit.
44:46A serial killer's girl.
44:48I'm virgin or nice.
44:51Anyway.
44:53Time's up.
44:55Choose.
44:55And then?
44:56And then?
44:56And then together.
44:59We take our medicine.
45:02Let's play.
45:03Play what?
45:05It's a 50-50 chance.
45:08You're not playing the numbers.
45:09You're playing me.
45:10Did I just give you the good pill?
45:14Or the bad pill?
45:16Is it a bluff?
45:19Or a double bluff?
45:21Or a triple bluff?
45:22It's still chance.
45:24Five people in a row is not chance.
45:25It's luck.
45:26It's genius.
45:28I know how people think.
45:31I know how people think I think.
45:34I can see it all like a map in my head.
45:39Everyone's so stupid.
45:42Even you.
45:48Of course.
45:51Maybe God just loves me.
45:52Either way, you're wasted as a cabbie.
46:01How did you choose which ones?
46:04Anyone who didn't know where they were going.
46:06Because they were drunk or lost or new in town.
46:11Anyone I could walk through the wrong door.
46:16You risked your life five times.
46:19Just to kill strangers.
46:22You're dying.
46:26Aren't you?
46:30So are you.
46:33You don't have long, though.
46:36Am I right?
46:37Aneurysm.
46:41Right in here.
46:43Any breath could be my last.
46:46You're only hope, Mr. Holmes.
46:48Better on the aneurysm.
46:49I'm not a betting man.
46:52Do you think I'm bitter?
46:54Well, you have just murdered five people.
46:56I've outlived five people.
47:01That's the most fun you can have with an aneurysm.
47:03What if I don't take either?
47:04Then I choose for you and I force it down your throat.
47:14Right now, there's nothing you can do to stop me.
47:18Funnily enough, no one's ever gone for that option.
47:21And I don't think you will either.
47:23Especially as that's the police.
47:26I know.
47:28I'm not blind.
47:30Good old Dr. Watson.
47:34I underestimated him.
47:38You make the slightest move towards that phone.
47:40I'll kill you.
47:41Oh, I don't think so.
47:45Not your kind of murder.
47:46You want to risk it?
47:49Wouldn't you rather risk this?
47:55Which one do you think?
47:58Which one's the good pill?
48:01Come on.
48:03I know you've got a theory.
48:16Oh, interesting.
48:27So, what do you think?
48:29Shall we?
48:34Really?
48:36What do you think?
48:39And you beat me.
48:46I bet you get bored, don't you?
48:51A man like you, so clever.
48:54I bet you're not bored now.
49:02This.
49:04This right now.
49:08This is what you live for.
49:12Not being bored.
49:16This.
49:41Did anyone see it?
49:43Where did it come from?
49:45Who is firing?
49:46Who is firing?
49:51Clear the area.
49:53Clear where we are.
49:54Clear where we are.
49:56Clear where we are.
50:13Clear where we are.
50:15Why have I got this blanket?
50:19They keep putting this blanket on me.
50:20It's for shock.
50:21I'm not in shock.
50:23Yeah, but some of the guys want to take photographs.
50:28So the shooter wasn't one of yours then?
50:30God, no, we didn't have time.
50:32A guy like that would have had enemies, I suppose.
50:35One of them could have been following him.
50:37Whoever it was was gone by the time we got them.
50:39We've got nothing to go on.
50:41I wouldn't say that.
50:45Okay, give me.
50:47I'll write it down each time.
50:49The bullet they just dug out of my wall was from a handgun.
50:53A shot peeing through the heart over that distance with that kind of a weapon.
50:56That's a crack shot you're looking for.
50:58But not just a marksman.
50:59Feiss, his hand couldn't have shaken at all.
51:02So clearly he was acclimatized to violence.
51:05He didn't fire until I was in immediate danger, though.
51:08So, strong moral principles.
51:10You're looking for a man probably with a history of military service,
51:14nerves of steel.
51:22Actually, do you know what?
51:25Ignore me.
51:26I'm sorry?
51:27Ignore what I just said.
51:28It's the shop talking.
51:30You really need this blanket.
51:31Where are you going?
51:33I just need to discuss the rent.
51:36Sure, Doc.
51:36Were you right?
51:42I'm sorry?
51:43Did you choose the right pill?
51:46I don't know.
51:47In all the confusion, I lost track.
51:49I don't know which I chose.
51:50Maybe he beat you.
51:52Maybe.
51:53But he's dead.
51:54Sergeant Donovan's been explaining everything to me.
52:05It's the two pills.
52:07Dreadful business.
52:08Dreadful.
52:09Where is it?
52:11Where's what?
52:12Don't just...
52:13Don't...
52:13What did you do with the gun?
52:15Oh, bottom of the Thames.
52:16You need to get rid of the powder burns on your finger.
52:22I suppose you'd serve time for this, but let's avoid the court case.
52:24I ran after the cab.
52:26I called the police, of course.
52:27And then I thought, I'd better keep an eye on you.
52:31Are you all right?
52:32Of course I'm all right.
52:33You have just killed a man.
52:37I've seen men die before.
52:39I mean, good men.
52:40Friends of mine.
52:41Thought I'd never sleep again.
52:45I'll sleep fine tonight.
52:46Quite right.
52:51You were going to take the damn pill, weren't you?
52:53Of course not.
52:54Playing for time.
52:55No, you won't.
52:57That's how you get your kicks, isn't it?
52:59Risking your life to prove you're clever.
53:01Why would I do that?
53:01Because you're an idiot.
53:10Dinner?
53:11Starving.
53:13It's got Chinese under the road.
53:16It stays open until two.
53:17You always tell a good Chinese by examining the bottom third of the door handle.
53:20Oi!
53:21Sherlock, still got questions for you.
53:24Inspector Lestrade, to my certain knowledge, this man hasn't eaten for several days.
53:27Now, if you want him alive for your next case, what he's going to do right now is have dinner.
53:31And who the hell are you?
53:34I'm his doctor.
53:36And only a fool argues with his doctor.
53:39Okay, I'll put you in tomorrow.
53:41Off you go.
53:42So, ran after a cab.
53:49Told you that there was psychosomatic.
53:51I knew it was.
53:53You get shot, though.
53:54Oh, yeah.
53:55In the shoulder.
53:56Oh.
54:01Sherlock!
54:01What have you done to my house?
54:04Nothing wrong with your house, Mrs. Hudson, which is more than could be said for the dead
54:07serial killer on the first floor.
54:09Dead what?
54:10Good news for London, bad news for your carpet.
54:13Good night, Mrs. Hudson.
54:15I'm not your housekeeper!
54:17Good night, Mrs. Hudson.
54:18I'm going in.
54:19Sergeant Donovan.
54:20Sir?
54:21We'll need those two in tomorrow.
54:23What two, sir?
54:25Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.
