Lestrade interrupts and asks Sherlock for his conclusions, which are: John tries to comply, but he is only able to say that the victim probably choked to death while seizing. He then asks John to examine the body, forcing Lestrade to acknowledge John as Sherlock’s assistant thus making the point that if the police want Sherlock’s help, they have to do it his way. Sherlock closes the door on his nose while browsing on his smartphone and says that she is not German but from Cardiff and was in town for one night.

Her jewelry is clean except for the well worn wedding ring (unhappily married for 10+ years) which is polished on the inside but dirty on the out (she doesn’t bother to clean it, but regularly removes it = serial adulteress)Īnderson appears and tries to show up by pointing out that the victim must be German. Her coat is wet, even on the inside of the collar, but the pocket umbrella is dry. He notices the message “Rache” scratched by the dying woman’s fingernails (“Rache” – German noun for revenge), then thinks again and completes the word into “Rachel” (lesson learned from the Harry/Harriet error). Sherlock approaches the body and starts finding clues:
Once inside they are greeted by Lestrade who brings them to a room where the victim, identified as a woman by the name of Jennifer Wilson, lies facedown. Anderson tries to dismiss it as a trick, but Sherlock points out that his deodorant is all over Sally and that the state of her knees indicates that she spent quite some time kneeling recently, leaving them both embarrassed while he and John enter the building.
Anderson, who is one of the forensic investigators, warns Sherlock that he does not want the crime scene contaminated, and Sherlock asks him if his wife is away for long. John is introduced as a colleague, to Donovan’s disbelief. They are stopped at the yellow tape by Sergeant Donovan, who calls Sherlock a “freak”, to which Sherlock retaliates by telling her that she did not make it home last night. Sherlock acknowledges that he is not infallible. John confirms the bad sibling relationship, the divorce and the drinking, but just one little error: Harry is short for Harriet – John’s brother is in fact a sister. It is clear that somehow he wants John’s approval. He knows John’s seen in his Army career enough blood and violent death for any man, but challenges him, “Want to see more?” to which John replies fervently, “Oh, God, yes.”Īrriving at the crime scene, Sherlock asks if he got something wrong on his earlier deductions. Lestrade and his men leave Sherlock prepares to follow in a cab, but comes back and invites John along to view the crime scene. He tells Lestrade that he will go anyway. Sherlock asks about who is in charge of forensics, but when he hears the name of Anderson, he complains that Anderson would not work with him and that he needs an assistant. Lestrade enters the room running and answers Sherlock’s questions with an address and the fact that this fourth victim is different in that she wrote a note. Sherlock looks at the window and sees a police car with its lightbar flashing parked outside, and deduces that there has been a fourth suicide and that something must be different this time. John Watson by a mutual friend, and the pair immediately move into a flat in Baker Street. They turn to their unofficial consultant, Sherlock Holmes, who deduces various elements pointing to a serial killer.
