Age For there is no reference in the show, one can only assume that they are the same age as the actors: Sherlock : 34 in S1 Benedict Cumberbatch, born in July 19, Mycroft : 44 in S1 Mark Gatiss, born in October 17, If you are going with the canon, however: Sherlock : 27 in S1 In His Last Bow , which is set in Sherlock is described as "He was a tall, gaunt man of sixty, with clear-cut features" so he must be born around and he first met with Watson Mycroft : 34 in S1 In The Greek Interpreter Holmes tells Watson that Mycroft is "Seven years [his] senior" Family As pointed out before the show makes a reference to "another one".
Adrienne is very into films and she enjoys a bit of everything: from superhero films to heartbreaking dramas, to low-budget horror films. Every time she manages to commit to a TV show without getting bored, an angel gets its wings. When she's not writing, you can find her trying to learn a new language, watching hockey go Avs! Breakfast food is life and coffee is what makes the world go round.
After laughing about the venture, they go upstairs to find DI Lestrade searching Sherlock's things for drugs. At first, John argues that there is no way Sherlock is a junkie, but Sherlock quiets him, confirming that the idea is not so far from the truth. She had known she was going to die and had slipped her phone to the killer, then given them the password to use the online tracker to find him.
However, when they enter the password, the computer tells them the phone is in the flat. At first, Sherlock is confused but then realizes the original lead was correct, but he had questioned the wrong person. It was not the passenger in the cab that was the killer, but the driver.
He then "slips out for some air" and meets the cabbie outside. The cab driver gives him the choice of coming with him and finding out how he got those people to kill themselves or staying here, safe. Sherlock goes with him. The cabbie brings him to a university where he ushers him inside with his gun. He then sits the detective down and brings out two pills. Stating one pill is good, the other bad, the cabbie says that Sherlock can choose whichever medicine he likes, and then the driver will take the other.
Sherlock argues that it is chance, not skills that would allow him to pick the right pill, but the cabbie disagrees, calling it a "chess game with one move". The taxi driver then passes Sherlock one of the pills and asks him if it is the good or the bad one. Sherlock deduces that for some reason, the cabbie is killing people for his children.
The driver tells him of a 'sponsor' who gives him money every time he murders. He is dying, and the more money he has at the time of death, the more his children get after he is gone. After a few moments, Sherlock decided he will choose neither pill, opting instead to be shot. However, the detective grins when the cabbie pulls the trigger, revealing that Sherlock is the first to realize the gun is a fake.
With no more incentive to stay, Sherlock turns to leave, but the cabbie tempts him, asking if he knows which pill is the right one. Arrogant as always, Sherlock replies that he knows and chooses a pill, holding it above his head.
The cabbie then states that Sherlock will do anything to stop being bored, even risk his life. Just as he is about to take the pill, a gunshot fires and the cabbie is hit. Sherlock demands to know if he picked right, but the cabbie merely laughs. Angered, Sherlock throws the pill on the floor and steps on the bullet hole, demanding the name of the cabbie's sponsor.
The cabbie screams the name "Moriarty" just before dying. After giving his statement, Sherlock begins to describe the traits of the cabbie's shooter to DI Lestrade: a marksman with strong moral principles and nerves of steel. However, halfway through the sentence, he spots John standing outside the police tape and realizes it was John who saved him.
Quickly lying to cover for John, Sherlock states that he is in shock and needs to go home. He compliments John on his aim, a notable act as Sherlock never compliments anybody. He then reveals the man who earlier kidnapped John is, in fact, his brother Mycroft Holmes , who works for the government.
Or "as the government" as he maintains. Finally, John and Sherlock leave the crime scene grinning at each other. Turning down a case to find a diamond, Sherlock was attacked by the messenger while John was at the supermarket. Successfully having defeated his assailant, Sherlock gets rid of him and hides the sword used against him under his chair. Upon John's arrival, Sherlock sees he lacks any groceries; the machine refused any payment John tried.
Asked for money, Sherlock tells him he has to go to the bank first, which is a big financial powerhouse. Once there, Sherlock meets his old university acquaintance, Sebastian Wilkes , who asks him for him. Just to put Sebastian off, Sherlock deduces from out of nowhere that he had made two trips around the world in the past month. Lying that he heard it from Sebastian's secretary, Sherlock subtly tells John that Sebastian's watch is two days behind. Hence he crossed the International Dateline but forgot to alter it.
Sherlock was able to deduce the period this occurred in as the model of the watch was only released a few weeks earlier. Sebastian explains someone broke into their former chairman's empty office the night before and sprayed an meaningless set of symbols on a wall and across the chairman's portrait.
Shown the room, Sherlock demands to see the CCTV footage of the room; it shows the graffiti appearing between PM and PM, which shows the one responsible is rather quick to escape being seen. Though Sherlock declines payment for the discovery of the hole in the bank's security, John quickly accepts it on their behalf as they need money to pay their bills.
Sherlock examines the room, deducing the vandal had to come through the window and that a man named Eddie Van Coon is the only person who could see the graffiti from his desk. Leaving with John, he explains that Eddie is the only person who could see it clearly; hence it was a message to him; since he trades with China, he probably works at night, and the word was intended for someone who worked at midnight.
They go to Van Coon's apartment and try buzzing him several times, only to get no response. Sherlock pretends to be Van Coon and tricks a new neighbor into letting him through their apartment, so he can use the balcony to enter Van Coon's. Calling the police in, Sherlock determines from the room's contents that Van Coon had just come back from a three-day vacation, probably very recent going by the odour of his laundry.
Something was also tightly packed inside his suitcase. DI Dimmock regards it as a suicide, but Sherlock points out several holes in theory — for one thing, someone appears to have inserted a black paper lotus flower into the victim's mouth postmortem.
Additionally, Van Coon was shot in the right side of his head, but the victim is left-handed as evidenced by his habits and the layout of his furniture. He explains that Van Coon had been threatened the spray-painted message from the bank is proof of this and was waiting for the killer. He fired a shot at the killer when he came in, and the bullet went out the open window.
Sherlock advises that they should check the bullet as it did not come from Van Coon's gun. Sherlock informs Sebastian of Van Coon's death but is berated for getting sidetracked. He next discovers a man named Brian Lukis , a freelance journalist, who was shot and killed in his locked apartment by a killer who can pass through walls.
Sherlock notes that it is very similar to Van Coon's death, and gets to investigate it more. He realizes that the murderer could climb walls, but the two victims did not know it. By locking themselves up, they thought that they were impregnable. He and John go to talk to an expert, a street graffiti artist named Raz , who identifies the type of paint, but has no idea what the cyphers represent, and agrees to make some inquiries.
Sherlock gathers Van Coon's receipts from the day he died from Van Coon's secretary Amanda, then heads to the Lucky Cat, where he meets John, who is retracing the steps of Lukis. They both realize that both victims had smuggled things from China, but something went missing. Not knowing who took it, the murderer killed both of them. Sherlock investigates Soo Lin's apartment and nearly gets choked to death. That night, both find Soo Lin alive, hiding at the museum. However, on a reckless chase to catch the murderer, Soo Lin gets killed, and both men return home, dejected.
After looking through all the books that Lukis and Van Coon both have, they still find nothing before John leaves for work. Sherlock continues through the books, suggesting to John when he comes back that they go out for some air, only to be told that John has a date.
He offers John circus tickets, but meets them there, admitting that he bought himself a third one in his name. A fight happens backstage where Sherlock discovers the murderer, before leaving after a brief struggle.
Sherlock returns home with John and Sarah before going to hail a taxi. He goes to rescue them, barely saving them from getting killed, and tries to comfort Sarah before the police arrive.
Perhaps Sherlock's most noticeable trait is his proneness to boredom. He is continuously agitated by the lack of work, describing peace as "hateful". Even if a case is offered to him, he won't take it unless he finds it sufficiently attractive though it is worth noting that he seems to lower his standards as he gets more desperate.
In the absence of casework that meets his criteria, he will go to extreme lengths to keep himself occupied, such as repeatedly shooting the wall of his flat with live rounds, and even turning to drugs in more extreme situations; he claims that he is a "user" of narcotics on more than one occasion, which helps to increase his thought process.
He even went so far as to accuse the criminal class of slackening, viewing that as the reason for his boredom. Sherlock also has a blatant disregard for rules and etiquette.
He once wore only a bedsheet to Buckingham Palace and was willing to walk out of there naked, greatly embarrassing Mycroft. Sherlock has a major manipulative streak and will often take advantage of people to get his way. For example, knowing Molly has a crush on him, he will occasionally flatter her to gain access to the morgue he would not otherwise have. In one particular instance, when Sherlock needs to test out a drug, he sneaks it into John's coffee.
When John tries to say "I don't take sugar," Sherlock effectively uses a 'kicked puppy' look to guilt John into finishing the drink. He seems to have a sense of humour, though it is very sarcastic and can be quite dark.
Sherlock is amused, most notably, by the stupidity of others in comparison to himself. He also often makes quips at the expense of his brother, Mycroft, usually about his dieting habits or his posh job.
Sherlock is incredibly unamused; however, by John's blog. He thinks the titles John gives their cases, such as "The Geek Interpreter", or "The Speckled Blonde", are ridiculous, and he finds the fame that comes with being an 'internet phenomenon' distasteful and funny.
He was also deterred by the prospect of having to wear his now-iconic deerstalker in public for the cameras. In " The Lying Detective ", he puts it on before heading out to have cake for his birthday, stating "I'm Sherlock Holmes.
I wear the damn hat. One quality that Sherlock lacks entirely is tact, which is one of the main reasons that he is disliked so heavily by so many people.
He often doesn't notice when his accurate deductions about other people's personal lives offend them, including the implication that Anderson and Sally Donovan were having an affair - that being said, neither of them did anything to soften his opinion of them. He is incredibly antagonistic towards the officers at Scotland Yard, particularly Anderson and Sally Donovan, which is often relayed with a cutting remark from the latter.
It does seem, though that, over time, Sherlock is becoming increasingly aware of his ability to insult, occasionally asking John "Not good? Although he puts forth a cold-hearted and rough exterior, Sherlock does have a kind, caring side. Despite telling John that not caring about people makes it easier to do his job, Sherlock has concern for the people involved in his cases.
During one of their earlier instances, when John's girlfriend Sarah was kidnapped by Chinese smugglers, Sherlock focused on saving her rather than catching the smugglers themselves and comforted her gently while untying her, even though he had not seemed to like her much previously.
And again, in one of his first confrontations with Moriarty , he looks very emotionally affected when he is unable to save the life of an older woman. A bit later, at Baskerville, he tries to talk Henry down from taking his own life. When Eurus became uncommunicative following their final game at Musgrave Hall, Sherlock visited her and played his violin for her, eventually eliciting a reaction from her.
He continued visiting Sherrinford and playing for Eurus over the years, later able to hold a violin recital of the two of them for their parents and Mycroft, reflecting in Eurus some measure of mental recovery and also Sherlock's dedicated care to his newly learned sister, apparently forgiving her for her responsibility of Victor Trevor's death and the subsequent trauma. He also despises criminals such as Charles Augustus Magnussen , who disgusted him more than any criminal he ever dealt with and described Culverton Smith as a monster.
Sherlock is the most protective towards the people he is close to, however. Even though it often seems like he takes Mrs Hudson for granted, he is enraged when he finds that she has been roughed up by an American operative, going so far as to tie him up and throw him out the window - so many times he "lost count".
Later, when John insists that she go stay with her sister for a while, Sherlock tells him that if Mrs Hudson left Baker Street, "England would fall", while putting a comforting arm around her.
This protective nature extends to all his friends, to the point that he is willing to fake his death to save them. John and Sherlock, however, share a unique relationship. Sherlock cannot be considered a man with many friends; his attitude and cutting words often ward people away, but with John, he makes an effort.
John is intelligent, though not as brilliant as Sherlock, lacking Holmes' observational skills and his unique insight into crime.
