—So this is me giving a second meaning to the plane scene... I HOPE YOU LIKE IT, IDK. —
Sh: You will look after him for me, won't you? Make sure he won’t hurt himself.
Mary: Don't worry. Just do what you have to do,
I'll keep him in trouble. I’ll look after him.
Sh: That's my girl. Thank you.
Since this is likely to be the last conversation I'll have with John Watson, would you mind if we took a moment? Mycroft, I don’t know what I’m gonna say, but I have to leave knowing I’ve at least tried to make it right.
Jw: So here we are. I can’t believe this is it.
Sh: William Sherlock Scott Holmes. Me neither.
Jw: Sorry? Why are you telling me your name?
Sh: That's the whole of it. Now you know everything about me.
If you're looking for baby names. You can’t say you didn’t even know my name. My real, full name.
Jw: No, we've had a scan, we're pretty sure it's a girl. You’re making it very hard for me.
Sh: Oh, okay. It’s not easy for me either.
You know, actually, I can't think of a single thing to say. There are so many things I would want to say.
Sh: No, neither can I. I know, me too.
Jw: The game is over. So we’re over?
Sh: The game is never over, John. Just because I’m going away it doesn’t mean I’ll stop thinking about you.
But there may be some new players now. But you have Mary now and even if I won’t be there, you’ll still live a happy life.
That's OK, the East Wind takes us all in the end. And that’s okay. You’re even gonna have a kid, what use could I be, anyway?
Jw: What's that? What do you mean?
Sh: It's a story my brother told me when we were kids. I know it was just a story, but hear me out.
The East Wind is a terrifying force that lays waste to all in its path. Would you really want someone so destructive,
It seeks out the unworthy and plucks them from the earth. So selfish and arrogant around your kid?
That was generally me. Someone like me?
Jw: Nice. None of that is true.
Sh: He's a rubbish big brother. That’s why I like you.
Jw: So what about you, then? Are you going to be okay?
Where are you actually going now? Wherever you’re going?
Sh: Oh, some undercover work in Eastern Europe. I’d lie to you, but you seem to catch on pretty fast.
Jw: For how long? How long are you going to last?
Sh: Six months, my brother estimates. My brother says six months.
Sh: He's never wrong. He’s never wrong.
Jw: And then what? And that’ll be it, then?
John, there's something I should say, I've meant to say always and I never have. John, this is something very hard for me to say, I thought it over many times and I hope you can crack my code.
Since it's unlikely we'll ever meet again, I might as well say it now. I’m not ready to tell you this in a straightforward way, but since this is the last time we talk, I need to say it at least implicitly.
Sherlock is actually a girl's name. I love you.
Jw: It's not. I hate this.
Sh: It was worth a try. It’s okay.
Jw: We're not naming our daughter after you. I’m having a kid and you won’t be there.
Sh: Oh, I think it could work. You and Mary will work it out.
To the very best of times, John. I believe in you, John.
