Simon Sanford. That's right. Yes. My name is DC Lillie Lestrade. This is my colleague Mariana Ametrazora. We'd like to come in and have a look at your Napoleon bust if that's all right. My wife just here. Say hello Jessica. Hello. Like she's being held hostage look. Like she's... Being held hostage. Being held hostage. Not quite. And these are the children, the girls. Aurelia and Maisie doing their lovely drawings you see. Oh I like your drawings. What's this? A statue. A statue. This statue here? This one? No. Hello Beppo. No, no, no, no, get back. Put the hammer down right now. But you can't stab him. I don't want to stab you. Stop. Beppo, I got you lower lateral quarter of your abdomen. Okay, I'm a doctor. I had to disable you. You were going to do further harm and get away. I can't have that, okay? It's all coming out in there. Mr. Harko an accident apparently. He blacked out in panic and did it. Yeah, sure. But he is at least honest about the bust smashing. It's for money. So he claims. What's he claiming? Beppo here says that in the construction of his plaster Napoleon busts he was asked to elicit some illegal behaviour. Which was what? A masked gentleman insisted the item went into Mr. Sandford's Napoleon bust. Beppo agreed. I don't know if I believe Beppo. I reckon it was drugs. I bet he knew it too. Why did someone make him stuff drugs or cash into a Napoleon bust? Someone paying Sandford that way maybe? Giving him a very generous gift? Or they were getting some class A product for a business. I actually have a recording of my own and I want you to see it. This is your body cam footage? Yeah, from earlier today. At Simon Sandford's house in Shizzy. The man you believe to be our prolific dealer. Pause it. Stop. The children's drawings. Yeah, they said the bust was scary. What's under the drawings? There's something written on the papers underneath. Yeah, there is. I don't know if I can zoom. Oh, oh I can. What does that say? Help us. There's something written on the papers underneath. Yeah, there is. I don't know if I can zoom. Oh, oh I can. What does that say? Help us. Grab the microphone, Lily. Got it. Okay, okay, I have it here. I have the court proceedings and it's... Holy shit. What? What does it say? Whoa, whoa, watch where you're going. I'm trying to read and run at the same time. Sorry. What does the court document say, Mariana? Witnesses brought forward to the prosecution of Sebastian Moran. A bunch of names, but right at the top. Simon Sandford. Good God. That's bad, right? That is very, very bad. This is his house. Up here. Mr. Sandford. Mr. Sandford, please answer the door. We would like a quick chat. Please. Mr. Sandford, please don't be afraid. This is the police. Open up. Good evening. Is everything alright? We'd like to come in, Mr. Sandford. Hold on now. Hold on on then. You are due in court. Tomorrow you are due in court for the trial of Sebastian Moran. Please, please, just... You worked with him. You're the one. The star witness. Please stop. Please stop. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. Please, please stop. There is a frozen terror in your eyes, Mr. Sandford. Where are your wife and children? They're in the kitchen. Secure them. On it. I do ask you to be very, very careful. Please. No, you be careful, Simon. Stay with me. Sherlock, John, go get the bust. It's just through there. It's on the mantelpiece in the lounge. Watch that. Come Watson. Not treading very carefully. Yes. I... have a black feeling in my heart, John. It's alright. It's gonna be... What is that? It's coming from the lounge. Sherlock. Napoleon is... He's humming. I know, John. It's okay. Sherlock, Sherlock, just... Don't walk away from it. Don't walk towards it. No, John. We have walked away from this for too long. Hello there. Hello, Sherlock Holmes. Hello. Sharp, watchful eyes. Long, probing legs. And deep fangs, Mr. Holmes, with a venom. A venom that would cure us all. Hello? This is DC Lily Lestrade. Extremely dangerous situation of holding this is. I need to speak to the commissioner. In need! The monkey throwing his own feces and the slithering serpent. Come on Sherlock. All under the watchful spider. Spider. Spider. Spider. Oh, what's going on? Oh wow. What's going on? Is he there? Is he going on? Just tweaking the doorbell. Oh. Sorry. Who are you? Napoleon. Bonaparte. We're just gonna piss around or are you gonna answer the question mate? What are you doing in Simon Sandford's house? What are you doing here? You know homes. Is this about Moran? You're right, congratulations! Uh, what's going on? Hello, Mariana. Is that the statue? Sherlock, John and Mariana. At long, long last. Simon. Simon Sandford. Lily, bring him in here. Yes, come in. What has he said to you? Um, well, it's been rather a confusing time. Tell him, Simon. He has his bomb. Holy shit. In the bust. That's right. Yeah. Did he say who he was? No, no. You know who I am. Yes, I'm afraid I do. Can you stop that please? Just stop! What do you want? You okay? Yeah. Yeah, the kids, alright? They don't know it's a bomb or anything, but they know something isn't right. Where's, um, the mum? Where's Jessica? She's, she's cooking dinner. Dinner? What? Napoleon said so. He wants us all to have dinner. Jesus Christ. This is insane. Yeah. Yeah, I know. I know. Come on. Um, what are you doing? Wait, you're not, you're not actually going to go and have dinner with him, are you? He is a bomb, Mariana. He is literally a bomb. I am going to do just about everything he wants. He's a statue of Napoleon. He's not even a statue. He's, he's ahead. We have to go downstairs. We have to? Yep. He said so. I said I'd get them some water and read them another story. Just... Wait, what is that? He said so. Okay? What are you doing? He told me to put a lock on their door so they couldn't get out. John! Mary, I just moved him from the mantelpiece to the dining room. He is 15 to 20 kilos. Do you understand that? No, actually, John, I, I don't. He's a couple of kilos of plaster, a little camera in the eyes, a little microphone. That's, that's two and a half at best. The rest is the fucking explosives. All right? 15 kilos. None of us survived that. None of us. I have to lock this door because, because that's what he said. And we have to stay right in front of him at all times. Because that's what he said. Understand? I understand. Did you kill John Scott Eccles? Now that's a great guess. Let's see if you're right. She's right, everybody! Did you kill Charles Augustus Milvaton? Did you just leave it, show? Killed Charles Augustus Milvaton, Milvaton, Milvaton. Please, no! Please, just! Yeah! Your name is James. Oh, James! My name is James, James, James, James, James. So, I did some steaks and there's potatoes with asparagus. Hold on, darling. Hold on. Thanks, Jessica. Where is mine? Yeah, have mine. I have another. I can just pop it in the pan. Okay, raw. I'll, I'll, I'm sorry. I'll go and get, I'll go and get that. The Strahd. Yes. Poor Scotland Yard. Have Moran released. Now. How exactly am I supposed to do that? C4, or composition 4, when detonator decomposes to release nitrogen, water and carbon dioxide. The detonation proceeds at an explosive velocity of 8,000 metres per second. Just watch what half a kilogram can do to this garden shed. Whoa! Wow! Wasn't that amazing? I can't do it. Sorry. Hello. My name is Aralee and this is my sister, Menzel. Wow! Wasn't that amazing? Wasn't that amazing? My name is Aralee. Why? I'm doing it. I'm doing it. Oh, God, okay. Hello. This is DC Lillie Lestrade. Extremely dangerous situation unfolding in Chiswick. I need to speak to the commissioner immediately. Yeah. Hi. It's me. Um, you need to release Sebastian Moran right now. Shastney Aspires. Um, I can do that. Yep. I think he's joking. Whoa! Hello. Good evening, Mr. Whitworth. I'm calling from the office of the Met Commissioner. I can't reach the governor and I need to process an urgent order to the custody officer in charge of, um, in charge of Sebastian Moran. Hey. Sebastian, yes, that's me. Yeah. In that case, you are hereby directed that Sebastian Moran, currently held in custody warrant relating to proceedings before the High Court is to be released forthwith from the commission. Oh, sorry. Hold on a second. This order takes effect immediately upon receipt and supersedes any previous direction for continued remand and custody in respect of the above named individual. My goodness. No lawful delay. Good evening. There's officers in the back garden. Yeah, I know. Then tell them to go. How exactly can I do that? Radio. I don't have it. Do I? John. Yeah? He would like to be moved back into the living room. Uh, all right. Okay. My phone doesn't reachable. Don't lie. He's a spy. How exactly do you expect me to contact him? I said, baby, you gotta find a way. I know where to end this. Find a way. You gotta find a way. Your demands are being met already. Do you think you're entitled to compensation? Compensation? Compensation for what exactly? You stole my bank. My groughed home office. Gold. Gold? How much gold? Surprise me. Okay. Okay. Mycroft, it's me. Go to my flat. There's a duffel bag in my room. It contains...it contains the gold bars I stole from Morson and Williams. I can explain another time, but bring it to 14 Park Road, Chiswick. There. Done. Moran has been released. Oh, John. I didn't see you there. I was...um, Marianna said you wanted moving to the lounge. Of course, yes. Let me give you a hand. Got it. Thanks. The key to heavy lifting is, in fact, feet. Place them shoulder-width apart. Use your legs, not your back. Somebody help me! Somebody help me! Somebody help me! Somebody help me! That's not funny. Amy died. I'm really sorry. Amy died. I'm really sorry. Merci. Shut up. What? John? The existence may break my bones, but names will never hurt me. Can I go and check on the girls, please? No! Look, Moran is released. He's been out for over an hour. They won't even be able to find him. There's not going to be a trial, and even if they somehow get him, you can hold me. Just me here. I'm the key witness. I'm the one that matters. Holds. I say it. I will help. That's really not necessary. Yes, it is. What the hell is wrong with you? John, I have to open the door. To what? To what? Have the gold you stole deliver out to this fucking house? John. You're an idiot. You're a complete moron. John! What? I am not an idiot. I am not a moron. Everything is in hand. Really? The case is in the bag. It? One moment. Yes, hello. Thank you. I'll take that. Can I just see? No, you can't. Bye-bye. No tip for you, sir. The bag is empty, mate. For now? Yes. Our opponent has made his move. Now it is time to make ours. I trust you. I trust you, mate. You good? Yeah. Good as gold, Watson. Good as gold. The gold has arrived. It's in this rather weighty bag. I think our approach is the following. I leave the bag here in the property. We depart promptly and you can send an associate to come to the house and collect it. We will make sure the police allow such a person through. But the Sanford family, Lestrade, Mariana, all of us must be allowed to leave first. Show me. Show you what's in the bag? Yes. There. Bring it closer. Okay. Present me my gold and do it with a smile on your face. Sherlock. I will do, sir. This case of the better view. I think you'll find we cracked the case. Is that how you see it? Oh yes, absolutely. We traced the vandal and his motive. Beppo the Italian sculptor. We even have him in prison. I assure you, miss your boner part, this case is very much in the bag. Zip and zip it, Watson. Zip now. Oh my God. What are you doing? It's a Faraday bag. It blocks all electromagnetic signals, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, cellular, RFID from reaching or emitting from devices placed inside. Go to your kids, get them out, okay? Lily, go with them, make sure that you exit the house first. Tell your officers hostages are coming out. Come on, follow me. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Faraday, amazing. Watson, Mariana, go. We're waiting for you. No, both of you go now. Sherlock, you've blocked any signal he can send to the bomb. Get up and let's go. I'm not going until everyone including you two are out of this house. Then we'll go together. Get out, out the house now, get out. Come on, Arch. Come on, Arch. This way. Come on, Arch. This way. Come on, Arch. This way. Hello, Dr. Watson. I think we'll call back on a draw, won't we? You see, Holmes may find a little tricky to operate without his doctor. But I, that I find it can be the same without my left hand, Moran. Oi, Arch, come on. No hard feelings, old chump. Alright, here we go, mate. Back home. Oh, 221A for you, is it? Alright, I can take a hint. You see, what people always fail to understand about this kind of thing is, it's just business. Second, I allow your detective to fringe on my financial interests. To go buzzing through the complex weaves of my web, I have to write back. Hard. Shame, of course, as I do really admire your little operation. Yet there is a knacking, festering, dark little thought, going away at the back of my mind. I'll have to destroy what I love to consume that which consumes me. Because, doctor, for I know to be true of all of this, I do rather share his appetite. For a challenge. For a fight. For a game. I look forward to winning once again a foot. Goodbye, doctor once. I haven't told Sherlock, but, yeah, I don't know how this guy has my number. Maybe I should block it. And again, maybe messages like that might eventually help us track down whoever he is. Since he knows everything about us, it would be nice to know a bit more about him. What's that? It is a new laptop. Oh, nice, treating yourself. I am making sure our spider doesn't come back. Right, yeah. Yeah, I should probably get it. Already ordered it. Nice. Nice, thank you. What about that? What about what? Your mic. Oh, the mic is, it's not even online. Uh-huh. Mariana, I'm serious, I get it. He infected our whole thing, but this, this guy, Mike, he is not the culprit. Some fans sent me something. What? It's from the end of Wisteria Lodge. Who's that? Jesus, no, no, I would have spotted... John, he is everywhere, okay? Well, okay, he was, fingers crossed, was everywhere. He could have edited and re-uploaded that. Everything has to change, all passwords, all devices, everything. Right, right. What about you, Archie boy? You got any devices we don't know about? Hey? How's Sherlock? Uh, rattled, I think. Are you going to include the end? His, um, meltdown? I don't know if that's cool. I already asked him, says he's fine with it. He's had bigger. It happens, you know, it's part of... yeah. His life? Exactly. Can you imagine having to take in and forensically analyze everything, all the time, and then add the pressure of a situation like that? Yeah, I know, I know. I think, I think he thinks it's his fault. I think he thinks stupid things for such a clever person. Speaking of taking stuff in, I took a little something in that I wanted to run by you. Oh yeah? What's that? Who's Mycroft? Mycroft. Yeah. I have no idea. Hmm. Why? I heard him mention the name when he was talking about getting the gold bars. Well, he made up the gold bars, maybe he made up the Mycroft thing. No, because the Napoleon statue said it. Oh. Because that's another M, right? Are you saying, are you saying that Sherlock has known who M is all along and is just, what, not telling us? Honestly, I don't know what I'm saying. I've had very little sleep. I sat next to a talking bomb at dinner. Which you ate all of, by the way. It was steak. It was really good. There was a freaking bomb at the head of the table, John. How could you even eat? Why eat when I'm nervous? No, you talk when you're nervous. No, I talk when I'm anxious. That's different. And you took my dinner. You asked if you were going to eat it. You said no. You are unbelievable. What, where's that? He's just blowing off a little steam up there. Great. Oh, this is tidier than upstairs. What do you expect? You know who lives up there? Yeah, I'm familiar. I've known him all my life. Good, because I have a question. Do you know who Mycroft is? Why are you smiling? I'll let him tell you. Great. Great. It's supposed to be his best friend, and we are the last to know. Has he told you, Archie? Has he? So, I just wanted to come and say thank you for solving my little vandalism case. Yeah. I would say thanks for harrying us, but... Yeah, no. Didn't enjoy it. What's happening to Beppo? Convicted. Found guilty. 25 years until he can apply for parole. Would he get it? Are you asking me how the courts will work in 25 years? Good point. Then you signed off Sebastian Moran? No. He has... Banished somewhat effectively. Back into the darkness. But your friends, Ruby, Neville, Noah, they're going to be heading into a witness protection. Oh, wow. Yeah. Maybe we hold off telling Sherlock that for a bit? Yeah. Is he... OK? He hasn't mentioned anything, really. I think he's just reflecting, enjoying the peace... and quiet. Any sign of your spider? We are currently in the process of washing the spider out. Put it that way. Good idea. Here we go. Back to work. I'll leave you to it. Sherlock and Co, my dinner's peaking. The strut. The pleasure. Watson? Let's do this again sometime.
