Sherlock - A Scandal in Belgravia ending 

Same

Scandal in Belgravia The Reichenbach Fall And The Lying Detective are masterpieces imo

Same A Scandal in Belgravia is my absolute favourite 2nd place I'd give to "The sign of Three" and 3rd to "The Reichenbach Fall"

Yes. Of the entire series!

Worst episode (but still good): The hounds of Baskerville

I think he said even sherlock couldn't fool me

@@frostyplays949 I just re-watched the scene, Mycroft said, "I was thorough, this time. It would take Sherlock Holmes to fool me, and I don't think he was on hand. Do you?" 1 hour and 24 minutes into the episode

@@EmperorRahem oo ok

@@EmperorRahem Proving either that Mycroft intentionally lied, Irene is smarter than Sherlock, or both Sherlock and Irene worked in tandem without the knowledge of Mycroft.

@@PlayaP69 Let's break down what happens this episode. Irene spends almost the entire episode manipulating the Holmes boys with Moriarty's help. Just before Irene wins, Sherlock destroys her perfect plan. Then the reveal at the end of the episode, Sherlock saves Irene without help from anyone. None of those events proves anyone is smarter than anyone else. Tricking/fooling someone isn't the same as a test of intelligence.

can anyone explain the difference between these? I still dont get it. Why did he say THE woman and what does that mean?

When you are reading it the way Sherlock said it the first time. Then there is nothing special. It is just the woman, same as the man, the child, the policeman, nothing special. But if you read it the way he said it the second time. The emphasis on the word "The" shows that there is a special meaning. Think of it as "The one and only" or "The special". This shows that Irene Adler has a special place in Sherlock's heart. She is not just any ordinary woman dubbed "The woman", she is "THE woman".

@@ZeroGunzRoyCHP can't be explained better. You are "THE man" 👏

@@ZeroGunzRoyCHP It's because he thinks she epitomizes women. As in she IS Woman. It's a THE, as in, not A woman. As in the example or image of what a woman is. If you read the books, Watson says "...not that he felt any sort of emotion akin to love for her..." It kind of mentions this.

@@pisiunhan In the original series Sherlock forever after called her The Woman, because he respected her intellect and craftiness. Unfortunately in the original version she was just married.

If you watch it carefully her "heart" is in his pocket. He keeps his own phone in a drawer.

Müfit Aslan actually if you look closely at 3:33 he puts his own phone in his right pocket then take The Woman's phone out of his left pocket then put it in the drawer ... ahah that happened very fast so not easy to see, I wonder if there is a special meaning to it ...

At 1:37 Sherlock keeps her phone in the left pocket, after John leaves , he checks the messages on his phone and keeps it in his right pocket , he takes out Irene's phone from the left pocket and keeps it in the drawer . It would be stupid if he kept his phone in the drawer .

Well, he's Sherlock

Of course :)

Sure did!

joesr31 bbc1 now you'll laugh.

@@martindrake504 let's have dinner

Yes!

same

I’m in love with her voice - and all of her...

Who isn't, honestly?

I'm in love with him

I wish i have a.i. havings sounds of all sherlock cast

That is what makes me think is why he wanted her useless old phone. Since it was there will he beheaded a bunch of terrorists or whatever, maybe it caught some images he didnt want getting out. He & irene are living double lives from this point on.

it's implied in every Sherlock work that he is the best hand to hand combatant and sharpshooter (along with John) in their world.

@@Isiauwuehrifi That was never stated in any of Sherlock works, the closest thing if i remember was that he was a good boxer and swordsman.

First… distract targets. Dodge their blind fire, counter with pommel strike. Decapitate

DISCOMBOBULATE

John Barry That is a sign of truly great acting. It's way too easy to shout your lines out, but the understated delivery accomplishes much, much more.

Benedict certainly isn't if you go on Tumblr

Martin got an award. Ben did not. Finally did for Magnussen. When he proposed to Janine. Award people are idiots.

They became their characters!

" Run, Irene. _Run!_ "

Wait that;s not a Flash reference Run barry run?

i didnt got the ending

It’s like River and the Doctor all over again

or run morty RUN!!!

Because it was

Cad091 but i loved series 4

What about the hound from the hound of Baskerville he looked like shit

Finncess I am first time user of this episode could some one please tell me is edler is still living or not .? Is SH rescue her in future or I can’t getting this when he did this could any of you please explain it . It really help Full for me

@@gauravjangra2548 yes sherlock saves her.

@@gauravjangra2548 Hey Gaurav. In the end, the police and Mycroft tell John that Irene Adler was killed by a terrorist organization in Karachi, Pakistan because she leaked info about their organization through her phone. But what they don't know is that SH was there at the place of the execution, in fact, SH himself was the executioner. Meaning, he had been keeping a track on Irene and in the end saved her from death. John was supposed to tell SH this story about her that she was executed. But decides to lie to him so that he doesn't feel bad about the situation and says that she is alive and in America. In the scene just before the execution in Karachi, it is showed that she is allowed to make one last message to SH, but when she sends it, the message tone plays right by her side (in the executioner's pocket) which means the executioner was SH. Now, this TRUTH is only known by SH. Everyone else, including the police, Mycroft, the Government, and all other terrorist organizations believe that Irene is dead. So they won't follow her anymore. And she can finally start a new life with a new identity.

Nelia Libago omg 😲

haha

She is cheating with a BBC is that it? To make sherlock jealous?

@Yolocast Kirk Dang, February seems like yesterday. Before all of this Virus nonsense. What I would give to enjoy those days again...

You have eyes of gazelle to spot all that

@@mryuvraj9182 ?

What an interesting take. I had never even considered that.

And John having a hard time deciding whether or not he should tell the truth to his friend 0:30 and then finally decided not to 0:31

I thought that was the look of realizing John was lying and that she was dead

KNOW IT FAST not the wonan..THE woman..lol

Wow!! she is so lucky. ❤

The woman woman lol

"The woman" was Irene's professional title she used for her job as a dominatrix. Even Mycroft said it.

Bro I am first time user of this episode could some one please tell me is edler is still living or not .? Is SH rescue her in future or I can’t getting this when he did this could any of you please explain it . It really help Full for me

Awful translation.

lol. she was not only one tho.

***** Ja precis. Kanske en konstig översättning men jag tyckte den var fin. (Yes, exactly. Maybe a strange translation but I thought it was beautiful.) ;)

***** Absolut! Jag håller helt med dig! Det hade inte blivit bra annars och meningen framgick nu. Kan du svenska? Känns konstigt att prata engelska annars. (Absolutely! I totally agree with you! It would not have been good in another way and the meaning was clear now. Do you speak Swedish? Feels strange talking English if you do.) :P

skatebride9205 In Greek they translated the first as the woman meaning the ideal and the second as the only one who mattered. And trust me because I was in a shitty position it fucked my heart this scene

What about Eurus Holmes

Beautiful episode and he obviously loved her but I just don't think the character as it was developed here is really worthy of Sherlock Holmes.

@@ajusino2324 nah. Eurus Holmes was a weak character. I didn't like her

@Top Boy GooNie, well said.

Beautifully said

YES

Ummm… No. That’s not right. He says “A woman…. THE woman”. He switches from “a” to “the” to show he considers her to be unique.

@@FastEddy1959 ok ed

and the series

gem of the series, really.

Anna R Yep thoseTwo high functioning psychopaths makes everything so beautiful

ViNiT GkD sociopaths*

@@vinitgkd Sorry, no sociopaths in the whole series. Only two psychopaths here, Moriarty and Eurus, what is stated. It was officially stated by Steven Moffat in an interview a few years ago, that Sherlock is not a sociopath, his famous remark to be a so-called "high functioning sociopath," was never meant serious, only sarcastic. Noone can define or judge himself exactly about a personality disorder like sociopathy. Everyone who watched Sherlocks entire acting through the whole series and still think til today Sherlock is a sociopath, is wrong. Just saying.

Yeah, john and sherlock are the most wonderful love story of all time

You mean John and Sherlock right?

well to be fair Sherlock never ever ever says please to anyone so, hearing it from his mouth said a lot about how much he wanted to have her phone with him, how important it was to him. I think John understood it that way the moment Sherlock said "please"

Juliana Alves how?

Strange Dude she said during this episode that she liked to have people on her side exactly when she wanted them to be. And that's what happened at the end of the episode: he couldn't resist rescuing her. He was there when she needed to be rescued. Risking his life to save hers meant he did feel something for her too. He wouldn't do this if she didn't mean anything. He let his sentiment guide him too, and that's when she wins the game.

Oh right thnx for explaining

@@julianab9903 In fact, Irene saved Sherlocks life at the beginning of AsiB when she called Moriarty. She had changed his mind. And at the end saved Sherlock Irene's life in return. It was nothing special. They saved each others lifes, they were quit. It's actually so simple.

@@christinabeyer9298 ok Mrs. Moffat, thank you for your input

Interesting

Well eurus did hint at it in The Final Problem

Gunslinger71603 how? Please tell🙏🙏🙏

@@nusretaydn9601 when sherlock was playing violin the first time they met she was like "did you have sex"

..."goodbye John"

I never saw it this way, genius!

Are you people film students? How could you notice such intricacies.

HOLY

Only realised that today!

Holy shit you are right!

Yes, because it's one of her text messages she sent to Sherlock. She knows, who is the most important person to him and it's not her.

She clearly was joking and she texted likes not love.

*TV series, but yes i agree.

SirFerzie You're right; in TV. :)

NovoBrooklyn

GR said in film not a film tv there’s a difference

Tv series pls ***

Brian Gerstel I read it cucumber batch every single time

Brian Gerstel Moffat is quite a bad writer compared to gatiss who could write the whole thing by himself and it would be 10x better season 4 was shit and it was Moffats fault

How was it only Moffat's fault? He wrote The Lying Detective which was probably the only faithful episode to the original stories of Series 4. Moffat is a better writer than Gatiss in my opinion - both are good, but Moffat is better.

But Sherlock knows something John doesn't. He knows she didn't die because he saved her

godot You got it. It’s this knowledge that empowers Sherlock to, in spite of his often inhuman disposition, perhaps appreciate Watson’s position (grappling with whether to reveal Irene’s fate, or to tell him a happy lie). As he also knows Watson thinks he is unaware of Irene’s fate. In a sense he gets to observe Watson with the same omniscience the audience does (w/the added advantage of knowing he’d spared Irene). Amazing episode (clearly, if I found myself back here after 2 years lol)

@@IndyJones31 It is easily the best of the entire show

Oh man…

He cried in a lot of episodes...

This is hurting me 'cause i dont ship them.

@@m3lissr ...How the hell can you not? This is a love story better then any other I have seen in decades and they did it in an hour and a half!

@@giantWario Sorry. Im a Johnlock shipper :((

Probably the music

@@m3lissr still a better story than Twilight

but now it's, "Adblock"

Pranav Dwivedi its now johnlock

Johnlock is endgame

Eleven Eggos why

backerstreet's lovestory noooo

Not quite.

@@uncletomcobley6950 if he could he would have or maybe he does have feelings but never shows them. He is S.H. we'll never know. In the books he is weird but not a sociopath

Wasn’t it “the woman, th*e* woman”

@@mohammadmuzammil4848 he's not a sociopath in the show either, he just likes to think that he is because he is scared of emotions.

Heh idiot.. he said..."the" woman and then th*e* woman. U wouldn't the know the difference if you are american.

Soooo ridiculus jdjkxjsbsmsbsjs

"Goodbye, John"

Yes, but it's only a respectful title and had nothing to do with love.

Christina Beyer yup

And that they didn't have guns. Perfect.

@@mortalclown3812 they probably had a suddenly realizing their guns were not working

Yeeeees

Unfortunately no film adaption ive ever seen continues irene’s story. I think its cuz most just stick to ACD’S books only. But there are about 4 authors of sherlockian books out there. Sherlock/irene ended up together & with one son named after john f a few others & who goes by the name nero wolf. Sherlock also outlives everyone & dies at 103, his last breath is “oh irene irene.” Rather a tragic love story. He also has two older brothers, not one as well as a sister. Sherrinford (which was ACD’S original pick of names for the sherlock character before picking sherlock) is hinted at in ACD’S books but not by name. Apparently some stuff mycroft did could not have happened unless there was an older brother involved. Sherrinford then mycroft then sherlock then enlola, their sister. But she is in other books, not ACD’S. siger & violet are alluded to in ACD’S work. Sigerson pops up somewhere...essentially son of siger. The parents of sherlock (& the others. Enola’s second name violet is from their mother. Sherlock is actually his second name. William is his first...& then scott is the third family name. William sherlock scott holms. Of course you gotta do sht ton of reading & be willing to explore all sherlockian books, not just ACD’S to get the whole story. That being said, sherlocks honeybees are in the ACD books, but ive yet to see them in films. Benedict cumberbatch is related to ACD so hopefully he knows about the bees from the books. Id like to see them!

@@mystiquesword Thank you! Underrated comment, much explained.

Honestly, I do believe I like it as it is now. This episode, and this particular ending, is one of my favorite if not most favorite TV moments of all time. The way it ends allows for open interpretation of what happens moving forward. Although I honestly expected there to be interaction between these two in some way, shape, or form at some point later in the series I’m quite alright with how they left it alone. Really, truly, one of the best TV episodes of all time. All these years later this STILL gets to me even though I know what’s coming.

@@mystiqueswordcan you please tell the author of the book with sherlock and irene’s love story?

Even more hilarious is when john says “witness protection program” & sherlocks face is like...yeah about that.....cuz at that moment, sherlock is the only one who knows what is actually going on! 😂

"John's jealousy and awkwardness when Sherlock begged twice (for the phone)." Twice. The writers did a marvelous job of relating everything to everything else, didn't they?

And they finished it by and large.

Its basically a movie series. Long runtime, standalone stories.

Silent Refusal he did, and it was shown earlier in the episode. ❤️

I don't like John 😐
