"Where possible, please give me an explicit verbal indication of your anxiety levels," "I can't always read them from your behaviour." "I can't do this." "I can't, it's murder." "This is not murder, this is saving my wife." "I'm particularly focused on internal conflicts, where strategising around a largely-intuitive moral code appears to create a counterintuitive result." "I will not kill." "I will not have blood on my hands!" "Yes, very good." "Thank you." "Killing my wife is what you are doing." "No!" "OK, fine." "John?" "Dr Watson, are you married?" "I was." " What happened?" " She died." "What would you give to get her back?" "I mean, if you could, if it was possible, what would you do to save her?" "Eurus will kill me." "Please save my wife."

"You see, what you did, Dr Watson, specifically because of your moral code, because you don't want blood on your hands, two people are dead instead of one." "Two people?" "Yes." "Sorry." "Hang on." "[GUNSHOT]" "Oh!" "[HE EXHALES]" "What advantage did your moral code grant you?" "Is it not, in the end, selfish to keep one's hands clean at the expense of another's life?" "You didn't have to kill her!" "Huh!" "The condition of her survival was that you or Mycroft had to kill her husband." "This is an experiment." "There will be rigour." "Sherlock, pick up the gun." "It's your turn next." "When I tell you to use it, and I will, remember what happened this time." "What if I don't want a gun?" "Oh, the gun is intended as a mercy." " For whom?" " You." " How so?" " If someone else had to die, would you really want to do it with your bare hands?" "It would waste valuable time." "Probably just take it." "There's only one bullet left." "You will only need one." "But you will need it." "[DOOR OPENS]" "Please, go through." "There's a few tasks for you and a girl on a plane is getting very, very scared." "Treats?" "Yes." "You know, a violin."

"Now, if the police had any brains, they'd realise there are three suspects, all brothers," "Nathan Garrideb, Alex Garrideb and Howard Garrideb." "All these photos are up to date, but which one pulled the trigger, Sherlock?" "Which one?" "What's this, we're supposed to solve this based on what?" "This." "This is all we get." "Please, make use of your friends, Sherlock." "I want to see you interact with people that you're close to." "Also, you may have to choose which one to keep." "What do you make of it?" "Am I being asked to prove my usefulness?" "Yes, I should think you are." "I will not be manipulated like this." "Fine." "John?" "John!" "Yeah, I think I've seen one of these." "It's a buffalo gun." "I'd say 1940s, old-fashioned sight." "No crosshairs." "Glasses, glasses." "Nathan wears glasses." "Evans was shot from 300 metres." "The kickback from a gun with this calibre would be massive." "No cuts, no scarring." "It's not Nathan, then." "Who's next?" "Well done, Dr Watson." "How useful you are." "Do you have a suspicion we're being made to compete?" "We're not competing." "There's a plane in the air that's going to crash, so what we're doing is trying to save a little girl." "Today, we have to be soldiers, Mycroft, soldiers." "And that means to hell with what happens to us!" "Your priorities do you credit." "No, my priorities just got a woman killed." "Now, as I understand it, Sherlock, you try to repress your emotions to refine your reasoning." "I'd like to see how that works." "So, if you don't mind," "I'm going to apply some context to your deductions." "Oh, dear God!" "Two of the Garridebs work here as orderlies, so getting the third along really wasn't too difficult." "Once you bring in your verdict, let me know and justice will be done." " Justice?" " What will you do with them?" "Early release." "You'll drop them into the sea." "Sink or swim." "They're tied up!" "Exactly!" "Now there is context." "Please continue with your deductions." "I'm now focusing on the difference to your mental capacity a specified consequence can make." "Why should we bother?" "What if we're disinclined to play your games, little sister?" "Hm-hm!" "I have, if you remember, provided you with some motivation." "GIRL: 'We're going through the clouds, like cotton wool.'" "Oh, that's nice." "Try to tell me more about the plane." "Why won't my mummy wake up?" "[CALL DISCONNECTS]" "So it's got to be one of the other two." "Now, Howard..." "Howard's a lifelong drunk, pallor of his skin, terminal gin blossoms on his red nose." "And, terror notwithstanding, a bad case of the DTs." "There's no way he could have taken that shot from 300 metres way." "So that leaves us with Alex." "Indentations on the temples suggest he habitually wears glasses." "Frown lines suggest a lifetime of peering." "He's short-sighted, or he was." "His recent laser surgery has done the trick." " Laser surgery?" " Look at his clothes, he's made an effort." " That's very good." " Excellent." "Suddenly he sees himself in quite a different light now that he's dumped the specs." "He even has a spray tan." "But he's clearly not used to his new personal grooming ritual." "That can be told by the state of his fingernails and the fact that there's hair growing in his ears." "So it's a superficial job, then." "But he got his eyes fixed, his hands were steady." "He pulled the trigger." "He killed Evans." "Are you ready to condemn the prisoner?" "Sherlock, we can't do this." "The plane, remember?" "Sherlock, are you ready?" "Alex." "Say it." "Condemn him." "Condemn him in the knowledge of what will happen to the man you name."

"'I can see lights in the distance.'" " Is it a city?" " 'I think so.'" "She's about to fly over a city in a pilotless plane." "We'll have to talk her through it." " Through what?" " 'Hello?" "Are you still there?" "'" "Still here." "Just give us a minute." "Getting the plane away from any mainland, any populated areas." " It has to crash in the sea." " What about the girl?" "Well, obviously, Dr Watson, she's the one who's going to crash it." "No." "We could help her land it." "And if we fail and she crashes into a city?" "How many will die then?" "How are we going to get her to do that?" "I'm afraid we're going to have to give her hope." "Is there really no-one there that can help you?" "Have you really, really checked?" "Everyone's asleep."

"Yes, yes, yes, and this, I presume, will be their coffin." "Whose coffin, Sherlock?" "Please, start your deductions." "I will apply some context in a moment." "Well, allowing for the entirely pointless courtesy of headroom," "I'd say this coffin is intended for someone of about five foot four." " Makes it more likely to be a woman." " Not a child?" "A child's would be more expensive." "This is in the lower price range, although still best available in that bracket." "That was a lonely night on Google." "This is a practical and informed choice." "The balance of probability suggests that this is for an unmarried woman, distant from her close relatives." "That is suggested by the economy of choice, acquainted with the process of death, but unsentimental about the necessity of disposal." "The lining of the coffin..." "Yes, very good, Sherlock, or we could just look at the name on the lid." "Only it isn't a name." "So it's for somebody who loves somebody." "It's for somebody who loves Sherlock." "This is all about you, everything here." "So, who loves you?" "I'm assuming it's not a long list." "Irene Adler." "Don't be ridiculous." "Look at the coffin." "Unmarried, practical about death, alone." " Molly." " Molly Hooper." "She's perfectly safe, for the moment." "Her flat is rigged to explode in approximately three minutes, unless I hear the release code from her lips." "I'm calling her on your phone, Sherlock." " Make her say it." " Say what?" "Obvious, surely." " No." " Yes." "Oh, one important restriction, you're not allowed to mention in any way at all that her life is in danger."

"What Uncle Rudi began, I thought it best to continue." "I'm not asking how you did it, idiot boy, I'm asking how could you?" "!" " I was trying to be kind." " Kind?" "!" "Kind?" "!"

"Without doubt, she will kill again if she has the opportunity." "There's no possibility she'll ever be able to leave." "When can we see her?" "There's no point." "How dare you say that?" "!" "She won't talk." "She won't communicate with anyone in any way." "She has passed beyond our view." "There are no words that can reach her now." "Sherlock?" "Well?" "You were always the grown-up."

"And the doctor who never came home from the war." "Will you listen to me?" "Who you really are, it doesn't matter." "It's all about the legend." "The stories, the adventures." "There is a last refuge for the desperate, the unloved, the persecuted." "There is a final court of appeal for everyone."
