Sherlock Lives - the empty hearse

Oh and how he lives -

At the start we see Sherlocks Fall once again - as if we could have forgotten that. Moriaty lies dead on the ground and Sherlock talks with John from his phone - his note - men are carring Moriatys Body away while Sherlock is still speaking with John. Somewhere in the House they open a box with a kind of mask of Sherlock Face - they place linces with the right colour in Moritay´s eyes and put the mask on his face. Meanwhile Sherlock falls and John Watson is hit my a biker on the street. But Sherlock is bound to a bungee jumping rope, which pulls him right up again and he jumps into a window where Molly is waiting. He ruffles through his hair, gives her a well done goodbye kiss and walks on. The Men carry the Moriaty/Sherlock Body on the street while John is getting up - the men prepare the blood while a Illusionist called Darren Brown distracts John into a short sleep,  and while John see´s the bloody body on the street  -  Sherlock walks out of the back door. Cut.

We see that all was just one of Anderson´s Idea´s on how Sherlock could have survived - he has a whole bunch of theory´s - but Lestarde tells him he just comes up with this out of guilt. Because Anderson started the hunt of Sherlock - thinking this to be the reason of his dead.

The Press and Journalists report of Sherlock to be Innocent - and Anderson and Lestrade drink a toast to him.
John Watson stands with a woman before Sherlocks grave now wearing a mustache. They hold hands.

Turning the Scene. A man runs through the night. He is being hunted. A Helicopter flys above him. They speak russian. And they catch him. He is getting beat up in a kind of dungeon. They say he broke in - and they want to know why. He starts talking. He tells him that the coffin maker has something going on with the man´s wife and if he leaves now he´ll catch them doing so - and the man says he knew it and walks out of the room. A man that sat by watching is now talking and approaching the man in chains. He went through a lot of trouble finding him.

Suddenly he speaks English - about a Underground Terrorist Network in London, telling him the Holidays are over - brother dear, and we see Mycroft, calling the man Sherlock Holmes and we see his face beneath all that long curly hair. Smiling.

John is riding the Subway. Like thousands of Londoner are doing so every single workday. I was instantly reminded of the Terroristic Attack on the Subway in Britain some years ago. In 2005.
John enters 221B Bakerstreet - he doesn´t live there anymore but he still has the keys. Even after 2 Years he still hears Sherlocks Voice and his violin play in the hall way. As Mrs. Hudson opens the door and lets him in.

A Newspaper Article about a Skeleton Mystery, we learn that Sherlock needed 2 years to dismantle  Moriaty´s Network, they wahed and shaved him and he gets a new suit.

Back Mrs. Hudson is quite mad that John didn´t call her at all, he says he let it all slide and then after some time it got harder and harder to make a call. And she understands what he means.

Sherlock is getting dressed while talking to his brother. He is supposed to find a underground cell, but is more interested in his shirt. And of cause John, Mycroft had an eye on him.

John and Mrs. Hudson visit the old room upstairs - it´s all dusty ... nothing has been touched. And John tells her the big news. As he tells her he has met someone she instantly assumed it must be a he, because she always thought Sherlock and him were an item. Well me too. Of cause he instantly jumps into I am not gay. Just like before - but the more he defends himself like that the more it just looks like it´s true.

Sherlock wants to jump out of a cake at the bakerstreet to surprise John but is surprised instead that John has moved on. Mycroft tells him that he has a Dinner Reservation and Sherlock just wants to drop by. He can´t even imagine he wouldn´t be welcomed by John.

At the Restaurant he disguises himself as a waiter. And gets to John´s table he speaks in a french accent and John doesn´t even look at him.

As Sherlock get the Wine we see that John has a engagement ring in his pocket. And we finally get to really see the woman who stand beside him at Sherlocks grave. Mary. They haven´t know each other for a long time but it seems she help him to overcome his grief of Sherlocks death.

And just as he is about to ask her Sherlock brings in the wine ... babbling until he uses his normal voice and John looks up ... reacting first with shock. He stands up to proper look at him still unbelieving.

Sherlock says: Short Version...not dead!
And John´s face starts to crumble. Slowly realising what this means. John´s face is getting more and more hardend.
As he asks: Does yours rub off too? - cleaning his face from the fake mustache...Mary´s words and John´s face are not what he was expecting and before he can even cope to an apology John hits the table nearly losing his voice repeating the words '2 Years'. He let him grief for 2 Years. And Sherlock says before John does something he is gonna regret - he wants to ask one question -  `are you really gonna keep that?´ (refering to his mustache) - breaking into a laugh before John grabs him and literally runs him into the ground. Trying to choke him.

They changed into a smaler Local - where Sherlock tries to explain how he did it - but John wants to know WHY he did it. Why he didn´t tell John about it - and who else knew. Sherlocks brother. Molly and a few tremps. Sherlock laughs and says 25 at the most.  And John just jumps over the table.

 Sherlock drys his wounds as he again asks if John wants to keep th moustache and he says Mary would like it - Sherlock says no she does not. And she doesn´t - she just didn´t want to hurt John.
John is still furious, why couldn´t Sherlock give him one word, one sign that he wasn´t dead. Saying he thought John would have let the cats out of the bag. Making it as if it were John´s fault now - and while he is still all furious he says I need your help John - just the two of us against the rest of the world...yeah right and John gives him one hell of a head nut.

Mary speaks with Sherlock as John tries to get a Taxi - she wants to talk John around, and Sherlock thinks it strange and reads her being.And in the Taxi she says to John that she would like him.

After that Sherlock takes a visit to Molly, who is surprised and after that Lestrade, who just calls out you Bastard before he is hugging him hard, and Sherlock just stands there like - what to do?
And Mrs. Hudson just screams like she had seen a Ghost walking through the door.

Another Theory...a Dolls is standing at the rooftop instead of Holmes, he sits along with also living Moriaty on the ground. Holding a rope. Who giggles at Sherlocks words. He lets go of the rope and the doll falls down as he and Moriaty keep giggling. Until they look at each other ... until they stop smiling ... still looking at each other ... Sherlock frowns ... as Sherlock bends over to kiss him ...

END...Anderson just asks WHAT? He has a group who is discussing the possibility of Sherlock being alive. As it´s on the breaking news - SHERLOCK LIVES!

Mary reads John old personal Blog about their old cases. Teasing him about shaving his moustache off just because Sherlock said so, he declares I don´t shave for Sherlock ... guess how fast that was made into a T-Shirt.

Sherlock puts a map on his wall, saying sometimes it´s not a question of who - but of who knows, like when rats leave the ship, just by observing a handful of the right people he´ll know when the ship is going to sink.

Meanwhile John is going to work in the Hospital he now works in, Sherlock and his brother are up for a little game, they have solid information that an attack is coming, a man died for that info. Giving us more sight into that brother relationship. Sherlock thought himself an Idiot just like Mycroft until they met other children.

Sherlock wonders that Mycroft hasn´t made any friendships in the past 2 years - all alone - and Mycroft counters that he lives in a world of goldfish. They change their game into inspect a left cotton-hat, but Sherlock is turning it into a confrontation about his brothers feelings. Is he lonely...but if so how would he know?

John works, Mary is one of his co-workers, so maybe that´s how they met. While John goes on Sherlock is having Molly over to assist him at the cases of his clients. As expected the folly and sass in this is priceless and so well cut together it´s brilliant.
John looses it as an old man tries to sell him porn magazines, thinking it was Sherlock he almost rips the poor man´s beard off.

Sherlock and Molly join Lestrades crime scene of the old skeleton that was found in London. The One the Newspapers wrote about. As he is at it, he hears John in his head calling him a show off, and he tells him to shut up. Leaving Lestrade and Molly confused. Going on he tells the voice in his head to shut up again. The Skeleton can´t be more than 6 months old. And to top that they found a book that says to be written by Jack the Ripper.
The Skeleton is too young, the clothing is from a museum. The whole thing was a fake.

Sherlock returns the wool-hat to his client. He loves trains and his girlfriend is a great fan of Sherlock and he just found something quite bizarre on the video tapes that are filming the trains in the tunnels.

A man gets on the last train, but as the train enters the next station the train is empty. With no possibility for him to get off before. Feeding into the strangeness is that the traindriver is missing and his flatemate on holiday suddenly having a lot of money.
The man already looked on the maps and tunnel maps there are - but nothing no sidetunnels on any map. And as Sherlock recalls the man - he says he knows that face - but where from? He enters his mind searching for possibilties, tunnels and faces.

John stands before 221B Baker Street. Watching the door. As someone walks against him and as he turns another man comes up and pushes a shot into his neck.

Sherlock and Molly talking in the hallway, he knows she can´t go on like this, she still has feelings for him but she is wearing an engagement ring, he says she deseveres to be happy, that not all men are soziopaths, giving her a kiss on the cheek before moving through the door as she says maybe they´re just my type.

John awakens, it´s dark and he is bound - there are christmas trees, he lies beneath them. Mary gets a message:

Save souls now! John or James Watson? Saint or Sinner? James or John? The more is Less?

She knows that this is scip code, but she can´t read it so she turns for Sherlock.The Words mean: Save John Watson! Saint James The Less. St. James is a Church in London. Sherlock runs immediately. Mary comes after him, he stops a motorcycle and they both drive through the streets.

The writer sends another message now directly adressed to Sherlock: Getting warmer Mr. Holmes. You have about ten minutes. John struggels beneath the tree´s but he can´t scream, a effect of the drugs they gave him. And there is noise around him. People.

A burning man in London? Well looks like it! And John is right beneath the wood and wooden locks - and they will enlight it pretty soon. People stand around it laughing and having a good time.

Just as Sherlock passes the street and see´s the wood locks the final message says John was quite a guy and they in flame it - he jumps of the bike and runs straight into the burning wood. He gets John out and Mary joins him. They still got him out in time.

Sherlocks Home, his parents are sitting on his couch. Talking about a Lottery ticket they lost, as John walks in Sherlock pulls his Mum up and pushes them to leave. She says they´ll stay til Saturday and makes im promise to call them, and he does but as she tries to touch him in a mummy manner he finally pushes the door shut - too embaressed.

But he says John that they were his parents and he is quite surprised - they are just so ordinary - and Sher calls it a cross he has to bear. They see each other for the first time after their fight, Sherlock is pleased that John shaved the moustache off.
They both want to know who did this and why they target John...and Sherlock tells John of his rats - and his rat No. 1 was the man disappearing in the train - and so he shows him also the Video. Sherlock has still not figured what happend on the tape. Just then he gets a pic of the man leaving a station. But where were he?

The Underground Network is in fact a UNDERGROUND NETWORK ... and he points out that 7 carriages leave the station Westminster but only 6 reach the next station St. James Park.

So even though they know there aren´t any other tunnels it could be - it has to be somewhere. They concult with the train fan and find a station that was closed before it ever opened - to it isn´t on a regular map. Right beneath the Palace of Westminster. And the Parlament it voting there this evening.

They go down there, John wants to call the Police but Sherlock doesn´t want him to - the Police just will make a mess like they always do. They use a mechanican entry to the tunnels. But the train isn´t in the station - into his mind palace - he see´s where the container must be to enter the palace - and blow it up.

They find it - but no one is there.

All seats are filled up - the whole carriage is the bomb. And the starter is built into the bottom ... what are they to do - there is no time left - Sherlock needs to figure something out. He is as clever as it gets but that doesn´t mean I knows how to shut this thing down. And just then the bomb starts ticking...of cause oO

He doesn´t know how to switch it off and he also didn´t call for the Police - he says John to leave, but there is no point in running anymore. And if they don´t do it - other people will die. So John screams at him to use his mind palace to find something in there.

But John see´s in his face he hasn´t anything, he gets down and touches the bomb all over the place - done that he looks up at John apologizing again.

He doesn´t know what to do - asking for forgiveness. John says he´s not gonna fall for one of his bloody tricks.
He says he wanted him to be NOT dead. And Sher just responds with be careful of what you wish, if it wasn´t for him he wouldn´t be in this situation.

John finds this sort of stuff difficult, but in the end he says to him: "You are the best and wisest man I have  ever known. And of cause I forgive you."
And the screen turns off.

Sherlock appears on a tape.  Sherlock explains how he and his brother came up with a plan to crush Moriaty´s whole network. Remember Moriaty was a spider and the spider is dead but the net is still working. He says he and his brother worked together the whole time, they fed him informations and got hints out of him and decided to let him go. To let him believe that he had the upper hand. To make him believe that he had beaten Sherlock. They had 13 scenarios for that roof. He first called his brother to set everything in motion. All the people around the building where part of it, now you see the small building before the building Sherlock jumped from, Which blocked Johns look of 2 meters before the ground. A Ambulance Station.

He jumped into an Airbag, meanwhile John got hit by the biker, they switched the corpse they had prepared by Molly with the prepared Sherlock. The blood was spread upon him by the people around him. It worked perfectly. Sherlock sits in Andersons Livingroom. Explaining why Molly was imvolved. The whole thing was like a Scene of a play. Not the way Anderson would have done it. But this is not why Sherlock came.
Anderson was the one who faked the Skeleton - to lure Sherlock out.
He just couldn´t bare to be the cause of his death - so isn´t it alright now. And Sherlock points out that he nearly killed the whole parlament by distracting him from the Underground Network Case - but apart from that everything is alright.

But then he jumps up - it doesn´t make sense, what if John had moved - done something different - the whole plan would have been ruined. How did they do this so quickly, what if the biker hadn´t hit him the right way to crash him to the ground. And why was he telling him this? If he pulled that off - he would be the last person he would tell that to - and as he truns Sherlock is gone ...

And he just looses it - tearing all his articles and pictures down the wall. Giggling.

Back on the train bomb ... no explosion. Sherlock breaks into laughing. The bomb had a simply on / off switch. So didn´t know really how to shut it down. John calls him a few nice words also with an delicious C, threaten him to never say a word about this to anyone. Just as John see´s lights. So Sherlock did call the Police - he so wants to kill Sherlock right now.

"Please, killing me - that is so 2 years ago"

John can´t help but laughing at him. The Police arrests the bomb builder. Reporters are standing before Sherlocks House, he talks with his brother over the phone, he had Sherlock given a promise and you can hear Les Miserable in the background, and he begs Sherlock, saying the horror and he hungs up as John comes in.
Lestrade and Mary are there, inviting Sher to the wedding, as Molly comes in introducing her fiance. Tom. Sherlock turns from the window ready to give the Journalist some sugar as he crosses the man...dark curly hair, neat coat, scarf ... so Sherlock. They great akwardly. Outside John asks him, did you know - and Sherlock just says "not a word"
They still haven´t figured out who put John into that fire ball, but he promises John to find it out. Now he wants to know how he did it, but Sherlock keeps it to himself but reveals that he heard what John said at his grave. Before he puts his hat on and goes right into the lightning of the cameras.

A room...museum artifacts...bones...papers...a man in a suit, short light hair...glasses he watches Sherlock jump into the fire...watching Sherlock his eyes get smaller - the man that kidnapped John and almost killed him?

Continued on Sunday...
