UNDERGROUND NETWORKS - INVISIBLE ENEMIES - CULTS
________________________________________________________________
REWATCHED ‘THE EMPTY HEARSE' - SOME MORE NICE THINGS I DISCOVERED
AN UNDERGROUND TERRORIST NETWORK or AN INVISIBLE ARMY, A MONSTOUS REGIMENT, A LEAGUE OF FURIES AWAKENED, A SECRET CULT OF AVENGING WOMEN or A CRIMINAL ORGANISATION ?
SHERLOCK: There’s something – something, something I’m missing, something staring me in the face.
JOHN: Any idea who they are – this underground network? Intelligence must have a-a list of the most obvious ones. ... Al-Qaeda; the IRA have been getting restless again – maybe they’re gonna make an appearance ...
SHERLOCK: Yes, yes, yes, yes, YES! I’ve been an idiot – a blind idiot!
JOHN: What?
SHERLOCK: Oh, that’s good. That could be brilliant.
JOHN: What are you on about?
SHERLOCK: Mycroft’s intelligence – it’s not nebulous at all. It’s specific – incredibly specific.
JOHN: What do you mean?
SHERLOCK: Not an underground network, John. It’s an Underground network.
JOHN: Right. ... What?
SHERLOCK: Sometimes a deception is so audacious, so outrageous that you can’t see it even when it’s staring you in the face.
MYCROFT HOLMES: Our way of life is under threat from an invisible enemy, one that hovers at our elbow on a daily basis. These enemies are everywhere, undetected and unstoppable.
…..
WATSON: Socialists?
MYCROFT HOLMES: Not socialists, Doctor, no.
WATSON: Anarchists?
MYCROFT HOLMES: No.
WATSON: The French? The suffragists?
MYCROFT HOLMES: Is there any large body of people you’re not concerned about?
HOLMES: Doctor Watson is endlessly vigilant. (He looks at his brother.) Elaborate.
MYCROFT HOLMES: No. Investigate. This is a conjecture of mine and I need you to confirm it. I’m sending you a case.
…..
WATSON: The Scots.
HOLMES: Scots?!
…..
WATSON: But these enemies: how are we to defeat them if you won’t tell us about them?
MYCROFT HOLMES: We don’t defeat them. We must certainly lose to them.
WATSON: Why?
MYCROFT HOLMES: Because they are right, and we are wrong. … I can promise you a superior distraction.
John is very eager to suggest examples for possible enemies in TEH. Victorian Dr. Watson is even more eager to do the same in TAB.
Dragon Den Black Tramway .... located underground? A bit like a crypt too? Definitely a tunnel ......
