The Empty Hearse Description
Hello Friends, Today is high voltage match between India and Australia and I'm sure India will win it. Although, India has qualified for semi-finals, we must not take this lightly and practice for upcoming matches against more stronger teams.
Today I'm gonna describe the Sherlock season 3 episode 1 "The Empty Hearse." Hearse literally means a vehicle for carrying coffin. But that has got nothing to do with title. We can understand its significance while watching the episode and its very hard to guess it randomly. As I have already said before describing Sherlock precisely at one go is quite an impossible task for me but yet I'll try my best not to be tedious as I find my friends saying after reading my previous posts.
"The Empty Hearse" has got very firm story and plus it also explains how did Sherlock fake his suicide. We come across three explanations about how Sherlock fakes his suicide. First explanation is given by Anderson, the forensic expert working with Scotland Yard. He hated Sherlock a lot and he doubts that Sherlock is fraud and he's playing with them and Moriarity is his own man. But eventually, we see in this episode that Sherlock is clean and Moriarity did all that to disgrace him. Now moving forward to the explanation. Anderson says that Sherlock attached himself with the rope while he jumped from the roof of the hospital. Meanwhile Sherlock's homeless network take the Moriarity's corpse and put Sherlock's mask on it and then quickly put at the place where Sherlock's corpse was meant to be.
The second explanation or theory which actually is weakest of the three is given by Anderson's Club called "The Empty Hearse." One of its members say that Sherlock and Moriarity are gay and they Sherlock has kept his Statue there on the roof instead of he himself. But that is utterly wrong.
The third explanation is given by Sherlock himself in his interview with Anderson. Sherlock says that there were 13 possible ways of saving himself. Moriarity was a criminal mastermind and he wanted to dismantle him. So, Mycroft (Sherlock's brother) gave him all the information about Sherlock as he wanted and Sherlock too deliberately acted as if Moriarity was ahead of him in the game. Sherlock and Mycorft gave code name to each of the 13 possible ways. In the season 2's last episode "The Reinchbach Fall" we see the girl screaming when she saw Sherlock. So Sherlock made out that Moriarity had got another person looking very similar to him and had probably killed him. Sherlock finds out his duplicate's body from the morgue with the help of Molly. This are all pre-arrangements. Now this happens, Sherlock sends one of the codes of the 13 possible ones and Mycroft replies back with the confirmation. An airbag was put down the building and Sherlock jumped on it and stayed alive. Meanwhile, whole street was temporarily closed so the drama was just for the John Watson. John is also hit by a cyclist during which the airbag is moved away. It is also important to mention that John's view was blocked by ambulance due to which he does not see airbag. The last trick that Sherlock applies is that, he himself lies down there as corpse and his pulse is temporarily blocked using a sponge ball.
These were all the explanations which we see in the episode. Now, I'll turn to the main story. Sherlock lives two years in exile staying dead while he was dismantling the Moriarity's criminal network. We see him in Slovakia or some other Balkan countries where he says that it was the last of Moriarity's criminal networks. The important twist in the story is that John has got a fiance Mary and keeps mustache which Sherlock evidently makes lot of fun. We also see Sherlock's parents and know that Mycroft too can make deductions like Sherlock and does even better than him. Mycroft informs Sherlock that there is threat of a terrorist attack on London and Sherlock must prevent it. Sherlock keeps eye on certain people who he believes are his marks and if they they do certain things then there is something fishy. One of them does a suspicious thing. He has planted a bomb under the British parliament and he means to blow it on the day when the anti-terrorist bill is going to be passed. Sherlock finds the carriage and defuses the bomb. What I like most about this episode is that we have got rid of Jim Moriarity. I really hate him a lot and instead we've got a new villain Charles Augustus Magnuseen about whom we see in the last episode of season 3.
