Morland insists he'south in that location to help, he's proud of the work Sherlock has washed with Watson and, if Sherlock and Watson concur, he tin restore their relationship with the NPYD. At the Defense force Advanced Inquiry Projects Agency (DARPA), Ollie Tate is submitted to a brainwashing video in an ascertainment room. (♫ Gioachino Rossini - William Tell Overture ♫) Demanding to accept a suspension, he looks out the room's viewing window, sees the scientists in charge of the written report expressionless on the flooring and gasping for breath, is shot expressionless. The next morning at the Brownstone, Watson finds Sherlock has stayed up all nighttime pondering his father's offer. She indicates they've been called to consult at the DARPA lab murders by FBI Agent Gary Shush.

You lot have structure at that place, friends. I fear that without it, you'd struggle.

At the scene, Burke informs them that difficult drives with enquiry and the surveillance videos were stolen. He also indicates that their access to any crime scenes will be under his supervision. Meeting Deputy Managing director Meher and Special Projects Head Alta Von See, who walks with a crutch, they explicate that the stolen data concerned a project which "renders users' opinions more than fluid", which Sherlock bluntly says is brainwashing. Examining the murder scene, Sherlock deduces that ane of the victims, Dr. Gail Sarkisian, permit the shooter in and must have known him. He as well notices that a lab rat recently died despite no external injuries. Shush indicates he can't permit them to examine Dr. Sarkisian's home but volition send them whatever materials if they demand assistance. Afterwards, at the Brownstone, while reviewing files the FBI sent from Sarkisian'southward home, Sherlock tells Watson almost Morland's offering.

She was shot after walking the killer inside.

Subsequently describing what Morland does, he warns her that his assistance e'er come at a cost and that she should meet Morland in order to decide whether to accept him up on his offering. Sarkinsian'south files and social media reveal that she was involved with Dan Zheng, a member of Prc's U.Northward. mission. Believing he's a spy, they alert Burke and have to look outside Zheng'southward apartment in Times Square until an FBI team processes it. Told by the FBI team leader, Saveda, that Zheng'south neighbors hated him and hadn't seen him in a month, Watson finds an old dissonance complaint against Zheng in a drawer. Exterior, an FBI van electronically searches for the DARPA hard drives which have routers. Burke tells Sherlock and Watson that he's ending their involvement in the case equally his bosses want to handle the matter with China quietly. Withal, Watson calls Burke's attention to a news screen in the square showing Zheng is the bailiwick of a manhunt.

The stolen computers are at least a mile away.

At the New York FBI HQ, Sherlock and Watson are interrogated and cleared of leaking the Zheng story to the press. Burke again tries to terminate their involvement just having peeked in the FBI war room, Sherlock promises to notice Zheng if given admission. Shown a video of Zheng at the World Trade Center, Sherlock deduces from indentations in Zheng'due south carpet, the noise complaint and a bag Zheng is seen holding in the video that he plays drums. He says that Zheng is hiding out at one of the many music rehearsal spaces in the area. While Sherlock accompanies Burke and a search team to the rehearsal surface area, Watson goes to Morland's office. After introductions and indicating she's aware of his poor relationship with Sherlock, Watson asks Morland what he wants in return for arranging for them to work with the NYPD again. Watson is suspicious when Morland says he only wants to ensure the best environment for Sherlock.

Miss Watson. At long final.

Every bit Shush gives assignments to agents of the search squad, Holmes notices that he forgets a basement under a restaurant. Examining it himself, he finds the DARPA laptops and gives one to Shush just equally Shush receives a call that Zheng has turned himself in. At FBI HQ, Zheng and his lawyer Mr. Xiaoping appear where Xiaoping shows that Zheng had an excuse and claims the DARPA laptops were dumped by the killer in an attempt to frame Zheng. In the basement at the Brownstone, Watson tells Sherlock that she'southward all the same mulling over Morland's offer. Sherlock shows Watson that before he gave the DARPA laptop to Shush, he emailed himself copies of Dr. Sarkisian's research. Examining it, they discover that the brainwashing projection was a full failure and Sarkisian had emailed a colleague that she intended to withdrawn a funding request.

Yous have nothing.

After examining Sarkisian's life in more detail, they discover her ex-husband, Maurice Antonov, is a reactionary monarchist. Believing that Antonov didn't know the brainwashing research was a failure and wanted to apply it to convince others that the United states of america should be ruled by a king, they question him. Discovering he had an alibi, Antonov isn't cooperative until Sherlock reveals that Antonov accepts authorities funding, which would destroy his reputation. He so confesses that he knew Sarkisian's password and monitored her emails. He knew her project was a failure and mentions that Deputy Director Meher sent her emails expressing his extreme dissatisfaction with the projection'southward results. At FBI HQ, Watson looks into Meher and is checked up on by Burke. She shows Burke other projects that Meher championed including robot dogs and sonic pressure level shields. He notices that she also looked into a mansion that sold below market place value which she claims she'south doing for another example.

I didn't similar the way he talked to her in eastward-mails.

At the Brownstone, Watson reports that she found nothing incriminating on Meher while Sherlock has decided to have Morland's offer. Watson needs more fourth dimension to decide and notices newspaper reports calling for Meher's dismissal. Realizing that Von Meet stands to benefit from the DARPA scandal as she would succeed Meher, they accuse her of leaking the Zheng story to a college colleague. Due to her concrete aliment, they believe she had an accomplice in the murders but she denies any involvement and offers access to all her records as the FBI will need to examine it all if she succeeds Meher. At the Brownstone, after no success in looking through Von See'south correspondence and financial data, Sherlock complains well-nigh Burke'south robotic nature as he lectured them about questioning Von Come across without his permission. As he jests that DARPA is creating an FBI protocol machine and lists their projects, he stops and asks Watson when she last dissected a rat.

I needed something to dredge us out of this funk.

Von See arrives at the DARPA labs with her lawyer and is confronted by Burke, Sherlock and Watson. Accusing her of committing the murders past herself, Sherlock wheels out a device which he explains is a sonic pressure shield, developed by DARPA, for oversupply control. Emitting sonic waves which vibrate at the same frequency as lung tissue, they indicate that Von Meet used information technology to incapacitate her three victims which she then shot. As proof that the shield was used in the lab, they're shown a report that the dead lab rat died of effects acquired by it. Burke indicates that claret was plant on the shield'south bottom and that an odd rubber streak who establish on the baseboard in the closet where it was stored.

You could shoot them without risk of existence overpowered.

Von See is given a warrant so that the rubber tip of her crutch can be compared to the streak. She glares at them with disdain. Watson meets Morland at his office and shows him that the mansion that sold for millions below market place value was his. The buyer in turn supported funding for the district attorney who then decided not to accuse Sherlock for the assault on Oscar Rankin. Impressed, Morland deduces that she hasn't told Sherlock. He says she shouldn't since Sherlock would probably make Morland's dealings public just to spite him. Letting Morland know that she'southward decided to take his offering, she warns him that she's not going to let him hurt Sherlock.

I've e'er been willing to go to lengths to protect Sherlock.
