Шерлок

I mean, obviously, 'normal' and 'fine' are both relative terms when it comes to Sherlock and Mycroft.

Get me a fresh glass of water, please. This one's filthy.

Do you know why I'm going to take your case? Because of the one impossible thing you said.

What impossible thing?

You said your life turned on one word.

Yes. The name of the person my father wanted to kill.

That's the impossible thing. Just that, right there.

What's impossible?

Names are not one word. They're always at least two. Sherlock Holmes. Faith Smith. Santa Claus. Winston Churchill. Napoleon Bonaparte... Actually, just Napoleon would do.

Or Elvis.

Well, I think we can rule both of them out as targets.

Tell me about your morning. Start from the beginning.

I woke up.

How did you sleep?

I didn't. I don't.

You just said you woke up.

I stopped lying down.

Has he attempted to make contact with you?

No.

How can you be sure? He might have tried.

No, if Sherlock Holmes wants to get in touch, that's not something you can fail to notice.

What plan?

I'm not telling you.

Why not?

Because you won't like it.

This is a private matter.

John stays.

[whispers] This is family.

[loudly] That's why he stays!

Would you like a cup of tea?

Thank you.

The kettle's over there.

Heaven may be a fantasy for the credulous and the afraid, but I can give you a map reference for Hell.

Doctor Watson, why would he do that to me? That was insane.

Uh, yes. Well someone convinced him that you wouldn't tell the truth unless you were actually wetting yourself.

Someone?

Probably me.

So, who loves you? I'm assuming it's not a long list.

You're gonna tell the truth, Mycroft, pure and simple.

Who was it said 'Truth is rarely pure and never simple?'

I don't know and I don't care.

That's the trouble with uniforms and name badges, people stop looking at faces.

She's very clever.

I'm beginning to think you're not.
