MYCROFT: Well...

You barely knew her.

What do you know about this woman?

SHERLOCK: Nothing whatsoever.

MYCROFT: Then you should be paying more attention.

SHERLOCK: Who is she?

Where is she?

Where is she?

God knows where she is.

MYCROFT: Irene Adler.

MIND-JOHN: Irene Adler.

SHERLOCK: Irene Adler.

JOHN: Irene Adler.

It's about Irene Adler.

GHOST-MARY: That's the text alert of Irene Adler.

She's the scary mad one, right?

MYCROFT: Professional known as...

...the Woman.

SHERLOCK: The woman. That woman.

JOHN: What woman?

SHERLOCK: THE Woman.

The Woman.

IRENE: Mister Sherlock Holmes.

SHERLOCK: Miss Adler, I presume?

Dominatrix...

I'm not the Commonwealth.

KATE: What are you gonna wear?

SHERLOCK: Nope.

IRENE: Nah.

KATE: Shade?

SHERLOCK: Then it's time to add a splash of colour.

IRENE: Blood.

SHERLOCK: Stop boring me and think.

IRENE: Think!

SHERLOCK: It's the new sexy!

IRENE: Brainy is the new sexy!

SHERLOCK: So you faked your own death—

—in order to get ahead of them.

Not. Dead.

IRENE: I'm not dead.

GHOST-MARY: I bet he saved her.

JOHN: Oh Jesus!

SHERLOCK: When I say "Run!"...

Run!

I never begged for mercy in my life.

IRENE: Please.

SHERLOCK: Please.

MAGNUSSEN: And the single rose is from...

MIND-MORIARTY: And the Woman will cry!

MAGNUSSEN: ...W.

SHERLOCK: All emotion is abhorrent to me!

MYCROFT: One of a kind—the one woman who matters.

JOHN: He's not like that. || SHERLOCK: For God's sake,

I don't text her back!

JOHN: Because you're a liar!

You lie all the time! It's like your mission!

SHERLOCK: Even I text... Her, I mean, Woman.

JOHN: He doesn't feel things that way.

MIND-JOHN: Why do you need to be alone?

SHERLOCK: Alone is what I have. Alone protects me.

Elevated.

Your pupils dilated.

IRENE: What are you talking about?

SHERLOCK: Sentiment is a chemical defect—

—found in the losing side.

MYCROFT: Caring is not an advantage.

SHERLOCK: I've always assumed that love—

—is a dangerous disadvantage.

JOHN: I'd say he was heartbroken but, er—

—but he's Sherlock.

SHERLOCK: Thank you for the final proof.

Merry Christmas, Mycroft.

MYCROFT: And a Happy New Year.
